Germany: Braunschweig parade halted over terror alert
BBC ^ | 15 Feb 15 | Unattributed

Posted on 02/15/2015 6:33:52 AM PST by LSUfan

A carnival parade has been called off at short notice in Braunschweig, northern Germany, due to the threat of an Islamist attack, police said.

A "specific threat of an Islamist attack" was identified by state security sources, they said in a statement.

Police urged people planning to attend to stay at home.

The parade - a well-known regional attraction - was cancelled only 90 minutes before it was due to start.

"Many people arriving at the train station were already dressed up and very disappointed - but we didn't want to take any risks," police spokesman Thomas Geese was quoted as saying.

Braunschweig's Carnival parade reportedly draws around 250,000 visitors each year. More than 4,000 participants in fancy dress march down a 6km (four-mile) route through the city.

Europe is going dark. It's a different form of an Iron Curtain descending like a cloak over life there--and most Europeans, especially European leaders,--are clueless as to the threat.

Islamic fear is destroying the western culture. They win as long as this is tolerated and no one pushes back.

Pre-emptive surrender is rarely a good idea. It just emboldens the opposition.

I gave my kids liverwurst. I told them it was Braunschweiger, “brown sausage”. “MMM, it’s good!” It wasn’t until they were adults that they realized IT WAS LIVER!

Peaceful Islam is like global warming. I keep hearing it’s all around us but the actual evidence is lacking.

Yep. That's Islam's forte - medievalism.

Is this the parade that usually includes floats lampooning political figures (like The Clintoon and a busty Lady Liberty)?

If it is that parade, one would have to wonder if one of this year’s floats had a depiction of Mohammed.

This could be easily solved. Deport all muslims. Those that refuse to leave, shoot dead.

All you have to do to stop a gathering you don’t like is threaten to blow it up?

If this crap is going to stop then the only way to stop it is outlaw islam and send immigrant muslims back. Now the left will get all bent out of shape and say racist, bigot bla bla but at least peoples lives will be saved and no more deaths in the name of frigging lslam

Ha ha! Reminds me of my own childhood. Mom would often pack a liverwurst sandwich for my school lunch. I loved liverwurst sandwiches. Much later, when I learned liverwurst was actually made of liver I was aghast. I figured liverwurst, hotdogs; what's in a name. I still like liverwurst, BTW!

Terrorism works for muslims:

* Parades are cancelled.

* American newspapers won’t publish cartoons of muhammad

* American Colleges cancel presentations by anyone muslims and their sycophants object to

* In Europe police won’t go into muslim neighborhoods
