Germany’s Tolerance of Mass Migration Opens the Gates for Islamist Terror By Benjamin Weinthal

ME Forum : Jihadists from the Middle East and South Asia have killed and injured an alarming number of Germans in recent months. But for some reason, German politicians can’t muster the will to protect the country’s borders and expel jihadists.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a scathing assessment of the problem during his February 14, 2025, speech at the Munich Security Conference. 

“The greatest threat in Europe, and I’d say the greatest threat in the U.S. until about 30 days ago, is that you’ve had the leaders of the West decide that they should send millions and millions of unvetted foreign migrants into their countries,” Vance said.

During his talk, he cited an attack that took place the previous day when a 24-year-old asylum-seeker and radical Islamist from Afghanistan plowed his car into a group of labor union demonstrators from the United Services Union (VERDI) in the Bavarian capital. A woman and her two-year-old daughter died of their injuries, and at least 36 people were wounded in the attack perpetrated by a jihadist shouting “Allahu Akbar!”

“How many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before we change course and take our shared civilization in a new direction?” Vance asked. “No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants.”

Days after Vance spoke at the Munich Security Conference, another jihadist attack took place when Syrian refugee named Wassim al M. went to Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial to stab Jews. The attacker, 19-year-old Syrian, who joined the Islamic State after arriving in Germany, seriously wounded a Spanish tourist. Both of these attacks hearkened back to another one perpetrated in January 2025, when an Afghan migrant stabbed two people—including a two-year old boy—to death in the Bavarian city of Aschaffenburg.
