Germany joins the Camp of Jihad !!!
 The Federal Court of Justice in Germany has Legalized the Call and Recruitment for Jihad. Well at least in Germany!
The linked page is in german-language but I have translated it.
"Call for Jihad is no longer punishable:
After a decision of the Federal Court of Justice in Germany, a pure "sympathy-recruitment" is excluded of the criminal liability, for reasons of the freedom of speech. Since the Jihad is no concrete organization, the exhortation is no longer punishable, according to the judges.
One can call for Jihad henceforth, it may only not be implemented.
The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) has restricted the criminal liability of propaganda for terror-groups. General calls for Jihad and terror-actions or organizations with no further details, are henceforth no longer punishable as advertisement for a terrorist union, says the decision published yesterday.
The decision follows the amendment of the law from the years 2002 and 2003 after which pure sympathy-advertisement was excluded of the criminal liability because of the constitutionally protected freedom of speech. According to the press-release of the Karlsruhe court, a criminal-fortified recruiting is only then considered as occured, when from the total-circumstances of the questionable remark emerges, that members or Supporters for a specific organization are being recruited. Since Jihad is no specific organization, the call is no longer punishable.
Nevertheless, a last year arrested conjectural Al-Qaida-Supporter remains, after the decision of The Federal Court of Justice in Lower Saxony, in custody. He should have spread islamist propaganda from the native computer. After realizations of the investigators, the man had downloaded, from Georgsmarienhütte at Osnabrück, Audio - and Video-messages of the Al-Qaida-Chief from the Internet and had passed on at a Chatroom, in which the goals of Al-Qaidas as well as previous Terror-Attacks have been glorified. According to the words of the 3. Federal Court of Justice Penal-senat, he is still strongly suspicious to have advertised for a specific organization - which can be punished with up to five years of custody." |
