Eight members of a German far-right group were sentenced to jail Wednesday on terrorism and attempted murder charges for a series of explosives attacks targeting refugees and anti-fascist activists.

Based in Germany's ex-communist east, the so-called "Freital group" had sought to create "a climate of fear" at the height of Germany's refugee and migrant influx in 2015, the court was told.

Its leaders Timo Schulz and Patrick Festing were sentenced to 10 and nine-and-a-half years prison respectively. The other six received custodial terms of between four and eight-and-a-half years.

    When the concentration is lower at 80% you can expect state-run ethnic cleansing and genocide, like you see in Egypt, Turkey, Iran, and more.

    I'm sorry. When exactly did this happen? [wikipedia.org] It seems to me that Muslim and non-muslim countries are pretty bloodthirsty, and there has been plenty of ethnic cleansing on all sides. Your straw man is on fire.

    When the concentration is even lower at 60%, you get all that but only sporadically. Jizya is forced then if not sooner.

    There is no such thing as jizya [wikipedia.org] any more. Your straw man has burned to ash.

    The term appears in the Quran referring to a tax or tribute from People of the Book specifically Jews and Christians. Followers of other religions like Zoroastrians and Hindus too were later integrated into category of dhimmis and required to pay jizya. In the Indian Subcontinent the practice was eradicated by the 18th century. It almost vanished during the 20th century with disappearance of Islamic states and spread of religious tolerance.[35] The tax is no longer imposed by nation states in the Islamic world,[36][37] although there are reported cases of organizations such as the Pakistani Taliban and ISIS attempting to revive the practice.[35][38][39]

    For the record, it took me more time to format this post than it did to gather *factual* information which is in direct opposition to the bullshit you're spewing.

    You're not very bright, are you? Which explains a lot. I feel pity for you.
