Radicalism - Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) sees increasing presence of Islamism in Germany.
Jihad sympathizers and minor extremist groups rely on basic methods of operation. This is evident in the situation involving a possible Islamist stabbing a police officer in Mannheim and some youths in North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg plotting attacks. Current events, such as those taking place in Israel and the Gaza Strip, serve as a moral justification for some of the worst crimes.
Bube explains, "The environment that fosters the Salafist community in the nation and online is increasing." She also emphasizes that Islamism continues to be a significant threat.
