- Figures
released in July by Destatis, the government's statistics agency,
showed that more than 2.1 million people migrated to Germany in
2015.
- More than
33,000 migrants who are supposed to be deported are still in Germany
and are being cared for by German taxpayers. Many of the migrants
destroyed their passports and are believed to have lied about their
countries of origin to make it impossible for them to be deported.
Others have gone into hiding so that immigration police cannot find
them.
- An
investigative report by Bavarian Radio BR24 found that
deradicalization programs in Germany are failing, because many
Salafists do not want to become deradicalized.
- "My
impression is that we all underestimated a year ago what was in
store for us with this big refugee and migration movement.
Integration is a Herculean task that does not end with a three-week
language course." — Jens Spahn, CSU politician.
Halil D. was accused of plotting to attack a bicycle
race in Frankfurt. At the time of his arrest, German police found an
arsenal of weapons, including a pipe bomb, in his basement, as well as
Islamic State propaganda materials on his computer. The court said there
was insufficient proof that Halil D. was a terrorist.
July 1. A court in Bavaria ruled that a law that prohibits Muslim
legal trainees from wearing headscarves is illegal. The district court in
Augsburg ruled in favor of Aqilah Sandhu, a 25-year-old law student who
filed a lawsuit against the state for barring her from wearing the
headscarf at public appearances in court while performing legal training.
The ruling said there was no legal basis for the restriction and "no
formal law that obligates legal interns to a neutral worldview or a
religious neutrality." Bavarian Justice Minister Winfried Bausback,
arguing that legal officials as well as trainees in the court needed to
present the appearance of impartiality, said he would appeal the ruling.

- The same
state-run media that shapes the Iranians' views of the West also
pushes them to favor hardline candidates.
- The new poll
shows that Ayatollah Khamenei, his media outlets, and the
Revolutionary Guards generals appear to be preparing the platform
for a hardline President who will pull out of the nuclear agreement.
The new poll also shows that so far their campaign has been
successful.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei (left) appears to
be preparing the social base so that a hardline president would replace
President Hassan Rouhani (right).
The number of hardliners in Iran is on the rise, according to the
latest poll. The Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, appears to be
preparing the social base so that a hardline president would replace
President Hassan Rouhani after the sanctions are lifted by foreign
powers. Khamenei seems to be achieving this by using Iranian media to
slander the West and improve the image of hardline politicians. Iran's
former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, appears to be getting ready to
take Rouhani's place, and is reportedly preparing his hardline platform
to run in Iran's 2017 presidential elections.
