Soeren Kern—Islamic State Closing in on Germany:
A 15-year-old German girl of Moroccan descent stabbed and seriously wounded a police officer in Hanover. The stabbing appears to be the first lone-wolf terrorist attack in Germany inspired by the Islamic State.
The incident occurred at the main train station in Hanover on the afternoon of February 26, when two police officers noticed that the girl — identified only as Safia S. — was observing and following them.
The officers approached the girl, who was wearing an Islamic headscarf, and asked her to present her identification papers. After handing over her ID, she stabbed one of the officers in the neck with a six-centimeter kitchen knife.
According to police, the attack happened so quickly that the 34-year-old officer, who was rushed to the hospital, was unable to defend himself. After her arrest, police found that Safia was also carrying a second, larger knife.
“The perpetrator did not display any emotion,” a police spokesperson said. “Her only concern was for her headscarf. She was concerned that her headscarf be put back on properly after she was arrested. Whether the police officer survived, she did not care.”
On March 3, Hanover Public Prosecutor Thomas Klinge revealed that Safia had travelled to the Turkish-Syrian border in November 2015 to join the Islamic State, but that her mother had persuaded her to return to Germany on January 28.

SnyderTalk Comment: Pay close attention to what is happening in Germany and the rest of Europe. Also pay close attention to what is happening at Trump rallies now that he is the odds-on favorite to capture the GOP nomination.
The tactics are very similar in most instances. They are Alinsky tactics. They are used by Palestinians, other Islamists, and Democrats to disrupt the system and attract attention. They try to shift the blame to victims because they want popular support. It won’t work unless we allow it to work.
Obama, Clinton, and Sanders supporters will deny any similarities, but they are wrong. Most of them are not well enough informed to know what they are doing. They are simply following orders, but those who are informed (Obama, Clinton, and Sanders in particular) know exactly what they are doing.

1: Uzay Bulut—Turkey: Normalizing Hate:
According to the 2015 statistics of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), Turkey, 28 lawsuits were opened by applicants against member states regarding their violations of freedom of expression. 10 of those applications (complaints) were made against Turkey’s violations of freedom of expression. So Turkey ranked first in that category.
Turkish law professor Ayse Isil Karakas, both a judge and elected Deputy Head of the ECHR, said that among all member states, Turkey has ranked number one in the field of violations of free speech.
“619 lawsuits of freedom of expression were brought at the ECHR between 1959 and 2015,” she said. ” 258 of them — almost half of them — came from Turkey and most were convicted as violations of freedom of expression.”
2: Stratfor—Ruthless and Sober in Syria:
Last October, when Russia had just begun its military intervention in Syria, U.S. President Barack Obama spurned the idea that Russia could challenge U.S. leadership in the Middle East. In a 60 Minutes interview, he said, “Mr. Putin is devoting his own troops, his own military, just to barely hold together by a thread his sole ally. The fact that they had to do this is not an indication of strength; it’s an indication that their strategy did not work.” Two months later, as Russia’s military presence in Syria deepened further, Obama remained dismissive of Putin’s strategy, noting that “with Afghanistan fresh in the memory, for him [Putin] to simply get bogged down in an inconclusive and paralyzing civil conflict is not the outcome that he is looking for.”
Washington can continue to underestimate Russia at its own peril. Russia has indeed poured resources into a maddeningly inconclusive conflict, but so has the United States and so will others who cannot be tempted away from the geopolitical proxy battleground complicated by the presence of jihadists. The problem is that the layers to Russia’s strategy tend to be too dense for the Western eye. For Russia, the Syrian battleground is not about propping up an ally through reckless spending, nor is it simply about pursuing an alternative strategy to defeat the Islamic State. Syria is a land of opportunity for Russia. This is the arena where self-control, patience and a careful identification and exploitation of its opponents’ strengths and weaknesses will enable Russia to reset its competition with the West.
3: Stratfor—What Modern Syria Can Learn From the Ottomans:
The quagmire that is contemporary Syria is as infinitely complex as it was when it emerged from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire. Its medley of cultures and ethnicities coexisted peaceably under the sultans, but the European powers that inherited the land after World War I were unfamiliar with — and uninterested in protecting — Syria’s unique brand of pluralism. Decades of autocratic rule followed. Today, the warring factions that populate the Syrian battlefield speak to the unraveling of Syria’s once-cohesive society, but the lessons of the Ottoman Empire remain. Moving forward, those lessons may be the best hope for turning a failed state into a nation at once unified and diverse.
After centuries of Ottoman rule, Syria emerged from World War I in an entirely new form. Under the Ottomans, the area known today as Syria hadn’t been a single entity but rather a collection of “wilayats,” or provinces, that at times included areas of modern-day Lebanon and Israel. Nor was the population homogenous. The wilayats of Ottoman Syria each comprised an array of ethnicities, cultural identifications and economic structures. After 400 years of rule under the Ottomans, certain particularities of the political system became ingrained. In modern-day Syria before the civil war, cities were divided into culturally distinct quarters: one where you would find the Armenians, another populated by Assyrians. I especially remember the Kurdish markets, where vendors would come dressed in their bright colors to sell fruits and vegetables from the countryside.
4: Israel Hayom—PM: We are fighting incitment to murder Israelis and Jews:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with French President Francois Hollande on Friday, urging him to shut down Hamas broadcasts on French satellite provider Eutelsat, citing incitement to violence against Israel and Jews.
The Israeli Embassy in France reported Saturday that the satellite company had agreed to pull the Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa television broadcasts. Netanyahu subsequently thanked the French president for his assistance.
“The prime minister would like to thank the French president for his help in preventing incitement against Israelis and Jews,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.
However, Hamas soon overcame the hurdle and partnered with Egyptian satellite provider Nilesat and Saudi-based satellite company Arabsat, resuming its broadcasts on new frequencies.
“We are fighting against media outlets that encourage the murder of Israelis and Jews,” Netanyahu said at the start of Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting. “Over the weekend, I spoke with French President Francois Hollande. Earlier, I asked him to shut down the French broadcast of the ‘Al-Aqsa’ channel and the channel was indeed removed, but resumed broadcasting on another satellite. We are also operating in other places and in other channels to prevent these broadcasts.”
5: Vikram Dodd—Isis planning ‘enormous and spectacular attacks’, anti-terror chief warns:
Islamic State want to inflict an “enormous and spectacular” terrorist atrocity on Britain and may have people trained to a paramilitary level to carry out attacks, a counter-terrorism chief has said.
Mark Rowley, a Metropolitan police assistant commissioner, said terrorists still wanted to kill soldiers or the police and now posed a real danger of attacking western lifestyle targets.
Privately, counter-terrorism officials see no sign of Isis’s internet propaganda campaign being thwarted by community and government efforts and believe the group still has the same ability to attract devotees.
Police have stepped up their planning for a marauding gun attack since the Paris attacks in November, in which concertgoers, diners and other revellers were killed.

SnyderTalk Comment: Israel won’t be wiped out by Iran, but Iran’s leaders will suffer more than they can imagine.
The Iran nuclear deal that Obama negotiated will go down in history as the worst deal ever made by a U.S. president.
Thankfully, the next president can undo the Iran deal because Obama didn’t follow protocol.
