Reuters<\/a> reports that Hans-Georg Maassen, the head of Germany’s domestic intelligence agency BfVn says that the Islamic State\/ISIS\/ISIL’s unbridled brutality is what attracts young jihadists to the organization;<\/p>\n

“The Islamic State is, so to speak, the ‘in’ thing – much more attractive than the Nusra Front, the al Qaeda spin-off in Syria,” the BfV chief told Deutschlandfunk public radio.<\/p>\n

“What attracts people is the intense brutality, the radicalism and rigor. That suggests to them that it is a more authentic organization even than al Qaeda,” he said. “Al Qaeda fades besides the Islamic State when it comes to brutality.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No, see, that’s not tracking with I’ve been told over the last 13 years or so – I was told that it was US policy in Iraq and Afghanistan that attracted jihadists to the Terror War. Now I find out, because US policy has turned 180 degrees in the last few years from killing the jihadists by the dozens to treating them as a political entity, and letting the Islamic State have their way with Iraq and Syria is what is encouraging the rambunctious youngsters to join in the bloodbath.<\/p>\n

So the real solution to the terrorism problem is relentless pursuit and miles and miles of several highways of death.<\/p>\n

I guess the anti-war crowd who undermined the war against terror will be apologizing for being wrong. I’ll just be holding my breath over here while I wait for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
