Finally, there is a small glimmer of hope that West has awoken from its stupor.
"Armed police officers have launched a raid on a mosque and several homes belonging to a group believed to be radicalising Muslims in Germany. "
Side note, anyone else notice that "armed police officers..." line?
Is that an anomaly for police to be armed?

It should be interesting to see how this plays out.

I'm disappointed the article didn't tell what, if anything, they found.

That would be racist.

The various times I've been in Germany since 1981 until about 8 years ago I've always seen the police very well armed.

When I landed at Rhein-Main Airport in 1978 for my first tour in West Germany, I saw the Polizei patrolling in pairs, both armed with sub-machine guns.

I saw them in 2004 in Frankfurt airport...HK MP5's. I was on my way to India, where the airport police were carrying Sten Subguns probably left over from WWII by the looks of them.
