Terrorist Threat Assessment for the Netherlands (DTN), June 2025security-service-report2025Netherlandsverbatim quote
"Terrorist threat level for the Netherlands remains at level 4: 'substantial' ... Jihadism continues to pose a significant and persistent threat."
Older edition. The December 2025 and June 2026 editions are in the register: December 2025 words the jihadist threat as one that "has likely abated for the time being"; the level stays 4 of 5.
Assessment of the Terrorist Threat to the Kingdom of Denmark 2026security-service-report2026Denmarkverbatim quote
"Overall, CTA assesses that the terrorist threat to Denmark remains at the level of significant. ... the terrorist threat from militant Islamists remains at the level of significant."
"Throughout the year 2024, the general threat level 3 (serious) was in effect in Belgium. [...] In the course of 2024, CUTA received 287 threat reports. [...] After analysis it appeared that 213 of these 287 threat reports fell under CUTA's remit (radicalisation, extremism, terrorism). Jewish and the Israeli interests were the main target, followed by specific persons."
The main threat continued to come from the Islamist sphere (IS/ISKP and al-Qaeda). Right-wing extremism was Belgium's second-largest category in the report's threat database, and left-wing extremist threat activity rose over the Gaza conflict. Both are recorded here as counter-evidence, as Sweden's lowered threat level is elsewhere.
Relazione sulla politica dell'informazione per la sicurezza (Anno 2024) - Doc. XXXIII n. 3government-review2025Italyverbatim quote
"Il terrorismo jihadista ha tratto nuova linfa dallo scoppio del conflitto tra Israele e Hamas e dall'effetto domino che ne è derivato. Tramite una propaganda costruita ad arte, al Qaida e DAESH hanno sfruttato la crisi mediorientale per ispirare soprattutto i giovani [...] a compiere attacchi. In questo deve essere letto il raddoppio degli attentati compiuti in Europa nel 2024, raddoppiati rispetto al 2023."
Italy's intelligence service states, unprompted, the conflict-as-recruitment-engine thesis this archive documents elsewhere, in its annual report to Parliament. It also names ISKP as the principal vector of the global jihadist threat in 2024, and the same chapter records the 31 May 2024 anti-Islam Pax Europa attack in Mannheim, Germany. The 2026 edition (row it-dis-relazione-2026) words the Gaza point more cautiously: appeals circulated in jihadist propaganda, not a count of attacks.
España emitió 134 órdenes para la retirada de contenidos terroristas en 2023 y 2024government-review2025Spainverbatim quote
"El Centro de Inteligencia contra el Terrorismo y el Crimen Organizado (CITCO) del Ministerio del Interior emitió 134 órdenes de retirada de contenidos terroristas en redes sociales entre los años 2023 y 2024 [...] el 65 por ciento corresponde a informaciones relacionadas con la propaganda yihadista."
CITCO became, in April 2023, the first body of a European country to use the takedown powers under EU Regulation 2021/784. Removal orders in the period were directed mainly at Telegram, Facebook, and Internet Archive.
"PST assesses there is an even chance that Islamist extremists will attempt to carry out terrorist attacks in Norway in 2026. [...] In the West, particularly in Europe, the level of terrorist activity by Islamist extremists has increased considerably following Hamas' terrorist attack on 7 October 2023 and Israel's subsequent military operation in Gaza."
PST assesses right-wing extremism at the same level, in the same words: "PST assesses there is an even chance that right-wing extremists will attempt to carry out terrorist attacks in Norway in 2026" (printed pp. 38-39). The chapter that introduces both states its own scope: "This chapter focuses on the most serious threats from politically motivated violence in Norway: Islamist extremism and right-wing extremism." PST draws the same distinction this archive draws: "Their interpretation of Islam, and how it should be practised, differs from that of the majority of Muslims in Norway" - and records that the threat "persists, despite few people in Norway supporting them." The organisations PST names are the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. It makes no claim about the Muslim Brotherhood, and this row must not be read as one.
Sicherheit Schweiz 2026 - Lagebericht des Nachrichtendienstes des Bundessecurity-service-report2026Switzerlandverbatim quote
"Die Terrorbedrohung in der Schweiz ist erhöht, das heisst, es liegen Hinweise auf terroristische Akteure in der Schweiz und/oder terroristische Absichten gegen die Schweiz vor. Die Bedrohung wird weiterhin primär von der dschihadistischen Bewegung geprägt, vor allem durch Personen, die mit dem "Islamischen Staat" sympathisieren oder von Dschihadpropaganda inspiriert werden."
This row cuts against part of this archive's own recruitment pillar, and is published for that reason. The NDB states: "Der Nahostkonflikt stellt auch nach dem terroristischen Grossangriff der Hamas vom 7. Oktober 2023 bei dschihadistisch radikalisierten Personen in der Schweiz und in Europa kein Leitmotiv dar. Er befeuert aber antisemitische Aktionen, die im Ausland vereinzelt auch in dschihadistische Gewaltakte mündeten" - naming the 2 October 2025 attack on a Jewish community in Manchester and the 14 December 2025 attack on a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. The same report finds ideology receding as a driver: among suspects "zusehends Gewaltfaszination oder persönliche beziehungsweise psychische Probleme zentrale Treiber werden, während ideologische Beweggründe weniger wichtig sind", and in Europe an initial suspicion of terrorism proves "immer öfter als falsch". On the other scenes it reports that publicly visible violence comes predominantly from the violent left-extremist scene, and that neither violent extremist scene measurably weakens democracy or the principles of the rule of law.
Achter de façade - Strategische normalisering vanuit de rechts-extremistische bewegingsecurity-service-report2026Netherlandsverbatim quote
"Door hun gedachtegoed te normaliseren willen rechts-extremisten de democratische rechtsorde afbreken en uiteindelijk een witte etnostaat stichten."
English - our translation, unproofreadBy normalising their ideas, right-wing extremists want to break down the democratic legal order and ultimately found a white ethnostate.
Limits stated by the source itself: the normalisation strategy is not worked out in detail or tightly coordinated, and the groups are small. The analysis does not address Islamism; it is published here because two Dutch services apply a 'façade politics / entryism' lens to a different milieu, which the archive's own entryism framing must not be read as unique to.
Threat level increase following antisemitic terror attackgovernment-statement2026United Kingdomverbatim quote
"The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) has today (30 April 2026) raised the UK national threat level from substantial, meaning an attack is likely, to severe, meaning an attack is highly likely in the next 6 months."
The same page ties the rise to both Islamist and extreme right-wing threats, and not solely to the Golders Green attack. The Security Minister's statement of 14 May 2026 (also opened) adds a conviction in a white-supremacist plot. The UK level after that date is unverified (MI5 page blocked).
Verfassungsschutzbericht 2025 - threat picture: Islamist terrorism, Middle East mobilisation, and the extremism figuressecurity-service-report2026Austriaverbatim quote
"Die höchste Gefährdungslage im vergangenen Jahr ging vom islamistischen Terrorismus aus. [...] Der islamistische Extremismus war aufgrund der anhaltenden Attraktivität einzelner terroristischer Gruppierungen, der Zunahme von Aktivitäten im digitalen Raum innerhalb der letzten Jahre und der Mobilisierung durch Ereignisse wie den 7. Oktober 2023 ein zentraler Risikofaktor. [...] Der terroristische Angriff der Hamas auf Israel am 7. Oktober 2023 und die darauffolgende Eskalation des Nahostkonfliktes war auch im Jahr 2025 ein zentraler Faktor für das Fortbestehen der Bedrohungslage in Österreich und Europa. Die Geschehnisse im Nahen Osten entfalteten weiterhin eine stark emotionalisierende Wirkung und beförderten bzw. stärkten islamistische Rekrutierungs- und Mobilisierungspotenziale. Terrororganisationen wie der Islamische Staat nutzten diese Thematik propagandistisch und riefen zu Terroranschlägen - unter anderem in Österreich und Europa - auf."
English - our translation, unproofreadThe highest threat level in the past year emanated from Islamist terrorism. [...] Islamist extremism was a central risk factor owing to the continuing attractiveness of individual terrorist groups, the increase of activities in the digital space within recent years, and mobilisation through events such as 7 October 2023. [...] The terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel on 7 October 2023 and the subsequent escalation of the Middle East conflict was, in 2025 as well, a central factor in the continuation of the threat situation in Austria and Europe. Developments in the Middle East continued to have a strongly emotionalising effect and promoted or strengthened Islamist recruitment and mobilisation potentials. Terrorist organisations such as Islamic State exploited this theme for propaganda and called for terrorist attacks - including in Austria and Europe.
Counter-evidence (same report): the DSN director places Islamist terrorism at the top of the 2025 threat level but, in the paragraph that follows in the same foreword, says both LEFT- and RIGHT-wing extremism 'became further entrenched'; the report records 1,986 right-wing-category acts (+33.6%) against 306 Islamist/jihadist acts (+42.3%) - different category definitions, not like-for-like, and the right-wing category bundles xenophobic/racist, Islamophobic, antisemitic and unspecific acts - and 136 left-wing acts (2024: 214). The Islamist organisation named in the quoted passage is Islamic State; the passage on Hamas is about Hamas members storing firearms and must not be read as a finding about any other organisation.
"The threat level of terrorism in Finland stands at level three, elevated, on a five-point scale. [...] The most likely threat of a terrorist attack comes from lone operators and small groups advocating radical Islamist or far-right ideologies. [...] The war in Gaza has mobilised and radicalised individuals and networks supporting radical Islamist ideologies. The international terrorist organisations ISIL and al-Qaeda and the groups that swear allegiance to them have also sought to exploit the conflict in their propaganda and called for attacks in the West."
Counter-evidence (same page): Supo names radical Islamist AND far-right ideologies together as the most likely source of attacks; says the youth threat from extreme-right supporters 'has increased' while organised right-wing extremism 'does not pose a direct threat of terrorism'; rates extreme-left terrorism 'low' with signs of more violence and sabotage tied to the Palestinian question; says 'a large-scale attack in Finland remains unlikely'. The Islamist organisations named are ISIL and al-Qaeda. The Muslim Brotherhood is NOT mentioned (0 hits in the English text; control: 'ISIL' 3 hits). The scale is 'level three of five'; an earlier Finnish edition (seen only as a search-result snippet, not opened) used a four-level scale, so a bare 'elevated' must always carry its scale. Provenance: supo.fi sits behind a bot challenge that this archive does not bypass, so the text was read in the Internet Archive's capture of 11 March 2026 of Supo's own English page (the link). Official page: supo.fi/en/national-terrorism-threat-assessment-2026.
Dreigingsbeeld Terrorisme Nederland juni 2026 (DTN)security-service-report2026Netherlandsverbatim quote
"Er is in Nederland nog steeds sprake van een substantiële terroristische dreiging. Het dreigingsniveau blijft daarom gehandhaafd op niveau 4 op een schaal van 5. Dat betekent dat er een reële kans is dat er in Nederland een aanslag zal plaatsvinden. De jihadistische dreiging blijft het meest bepalend voor de terroristische dreiging. Getuige diverse arrestaties het afgelopen jaar zien jihadisten Nederland nog steeds als doelwit."
English - our translation, unproofreadThere is still a substantial terrorist threat in the Netherlands. The threat level is therefore maintained at level 4 on a scale of 5. That means there is a real chance that an attack will take place in the Netherlands. The jihadist threat remains the most decisive for the terrorist threat. As evidenced by various arrests over the past year, jihadists still see the Netherlands as a target.
Same report: the jihadist threat is attributed mainly to ISIS (p. 3); the Muslim Brotherhood is not named anywhere in the document (0 hits; control: 'Hamas' on 5 pages). Jihadist attacks in Europe in the past half-year were relatively limited, the threat from ISIS transnational networks decreased, right-wing terrorist and anti-institutional threats are unchanged, and the raised attack probability is tied to the war around Iran and (semi-)state involvement. The Hamas sentence concerns Hamas, not the Brotherhood as a movement.
Terrorist Threat Assessment for the Netherlands December 2025 (DTN)security-service-report2025Netherlandsverbatim quote
"The NCTV has set the threat level at 4 out of 5 (substantial), which means there is a real possibility of a terrorist attack in the Netherlands. The threat level is based on an analysis of the terrorist threat from a range of vectors. The jihadist threat to the Netherlands remains present, though this has likely abated for the time being. Adherents of right-wing terrorist ideology also continue to pose a terrorist threat, as do a small subset of anti-institutional extremists who are willing to engage in violence."
This candidate is itself counter-weight to the register's June 2025 quotation: the December 2025 wording is softer on jihadism ('likely abated for the time being') and names right-wing and anti-institutional threats in the same paragraph, which also lists perpetrators driven by personal circumstances (our summary; rest of sentence not quoted).
Relazione sulla politica dell'informazione per la sicurezza (Anno 2025) - Doc. XXXIII n. 4government-review2026Italyverbatim quote
"Con riferimento alla crisi di Gaza, nel 2025 sono stati numerosi gli appelli veicolati tramite la propaganda jihadista a condurre attacchi in Europa, specialmente contro quartieri ebraici e ambasciate 'ebraiche e crociate'."
English - our translation, unproofreadWith reference to the Gaza crisis, in 2025 there were numerous calls, conveyed through jihadist propaganda, to carry out attacks in Europe, especially against Jewish neighbourhoods and 'Jewish and crusader' embassies.
The 2026 edition is more hedged than the 2025 one the register quotes: in the pages read it speaks of appeals circulated in jihadist propaganda, not of a count of attacks, and frames the crises as one of several overlapping radicalisation factors. The same page (our summary) names the Manchester (Heaton Park) and Bondi Beach attacks as terrorist attacks with a clear antisemitic matrix, and names DAESH, Al-Qa'ida, ISKP and AQIS on p. 104. 'Fratellanza/Fratelli musulmani' returns 0 hits in the (partly garbled) text layer (control: 'jihad' 22 hits). Only printed pp. 101-104 were read; other chapters (domestic extremism) were not.
DPI Annual Report: New Islamist Identity Models as a Challengestate-documentation-fund2026Austria | Europe-wideverbatim quote
"Another actor whose influence extends to Europe is Hamas, which was founded in 1987 as the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is not only a terrorist organization designated as such in Europe and an armed group, but also a political party and a charitable organization. The Islamist group uses its dual structure - religious and charitable activities - to gain a foothold in European countries and to conceal its military operations. In this context, Europe has become a venue for fundraising, recruitment, propaganda, and operational preparations."
This is the DPI's own press page for its own report, by a state-created documentation fund - not an independent finding (see row dpi-austria-mandate). The annual report itself was not opened (no PDF link on the page). The page's claim about the edit history of a Wikipedia article is the DPI's and was not checked. It states the Brotherhood 'is listed as a terrorist organization in some countries', not everywhere.
Anklage im Zusammenhang mit Waffenbeschaffungen für die ausländische terroristische Vereinigung HAMAS erhobenprosecutor-press-release2026Germany | Austriaverbatim quote
"In der Anklageschrift ist im Wesentlichen folgender Sachverhalt dargelegt: Alle Angeschuldigten gehören der ausländischen terroristischen Vereinigung HAMAS an. Bereits vor längerer Zeit begann der militärische Flügel der Organisation (die sogenannten Qassam-Brigaden), Waffendepots in Europa anzulegen. Spätestens seit Juli 2025 plante die HAMAS einen konkreten Mordanschlag in Deutschland oder Österreich gegen Repräsentanten Israels, Menschen jüdischen Glaubens oder pro-israelisch eingestellte Personen."
English - our translation, unproofreadThe indictment sets out, in essence, the following facts: All the accused belong to the foreign terrorist organisation HAMAS. Some time ago, the military wing of the organisation (the so-called Qassam Brigades) began to set up weapons depots in Europe. Since July 2025 at the latest, HAMAS was planning a concrete murder attack in Germany or Austria against representatives of Israel, people of Jewish faith or pro-Israeli individuals.
An indictment is an allegation, not a finding: the same release says the accused are 'hinreichend verdächtig' and in pre-trial detention; no trial or verdict yet. The release concerns Hamas (an EU-listed organisation) and does not mention the Muslim Brotherhood. One further person is prosecuted separately and, per the release, had not been transferred to Germany. Defendants are deliberately not named here.
The elevated terrorist threat level remains due to the serious security situationsecurity-service-report2026Swedenverbatim quote
"The Head of the Swedish Security Service has decided that the terrorist threat level will remain elevated (level three on a five-level scale)."
Same release: "The threat mainly originates from violent Islamism and violent right-wing extremism. In Sweden, violent Islamism mainly consists of facilitation activities in the form of radicalisation, recruitment, and financing." The service sees focus shifting to violence itself rather than ideology, calls Russia the greatest threat to Sweden, and traces the intent to attack to 'a specific event or circumstance, either real or perceived' (generic, not the Middle East by name).
"De belangrijkste terroristische dreiging komt nog altijd voort uit het jihadisme."
English - our translation, unproofreadThe main terrorist threat still stems from jihadism.
The Muslim Brotherhood is not named anywhere in the report (0 pages; control: 'jihad' on 7 pages). §2.1.3 on right-wing extremism (p. 26) reports a violence threat with a right-wing basis, a wider non-violent movement and a new nihilistic violent extremism.

"Ved et parallelsamfund forstås et boligområde, hvor andelen af indvandrere og efterkommere fra ikkevestlige lande overstiger 50 pct., og hvor mindst to af kriterierne i stk. 1 er opfyldt."
English - our translation, unproofreadA parallel society is understood as a residential area where the share of immigrants and descendants from non-Western countries exceeds 50 per cent, and where at least two of the criteria in subsection 1 are met.
Must be cited with CJEU C-417/23 (Grand Chamber, 18 Dec 2025, row cjeu-c417-23): the Court held a criterion of this kind can constitute direct discrimination on ethnic origin. The consolidation post-dates the judgment by 38 days and still carries the criterion; whether an amendment followed is not checked. The 2018 bill row (dk-parallel-societies-law) uses the earlier term 'ghettoområde'.
"A conflitualidade no Médio Oriente, sobretudo no caso da guerra Israel-Irão, continuou a gerar desafios e riscos à segurança do abastecimento energético europeu e nacional. As tensões e conflitos na região continuaram, igualmente, a potenciar narrativas de radicalização, habilmente desenvolvidas e exploradas pelas organizações Al-Qaida (AQ) e Estado Islâmico (EI), integrando, assim, a gama de fatores motivacionais de ações violentas, na forma projetada e concretizada, na Europa e noutras geografias. [...] Dez anos após os atentados de Paris, a ameaça terrorista de matriz islamista constitui-se como uma das ameaças mais significativas à segurança interna e ao espaço europeu. O Estado Islâmico (EI) continua a ser a organização terrorista com maior capacidade de radicalização e projeção operacional em território europeu."
English - our translation, unproofreadConflict in the Middle East, above all the Israel-Iran war, continued to generate challenges and risks for the security of European and national energy supply. The tensions and conflicts in the region also continued to fuel narratives of radicalisation, skilfully developed and exploited by the organisations Al-Qaeda (AQ) and Islamic State (IS), thereby forming part of the range of motivating factors for violent acts, as planned and carried out in Europe and in other geographies. [...] Ten years after the Paris attacks, the terrorist threat of Islamist matrix is one of the most significant threats to internal security and to the European area. Islamic State (IS) remains the terrorist organisation with the greatest capacity for radicalisation and operational projection on European territory.
Counter-evidence (same report): the same chapter calls the radical and violent EXTREME RIGHT the 'predominant vector' of politically motivated violence in the Euro-Atlantic area and records a Portuguese right-wing group dismantled on terrorism-related charges; it states no Islamist attack has hit Portugal up to 2025 and that no recruitment for terrorist organisations or attack planning was detected on national territory; terrorism-related crime fell 29.4% and is described as residual in number. The organisations named on the Islamist side are Al-Qaeda and Islamic State; the Muslim Brotherhood is not mentioned (0 hits for 'Irmandade' / 'Irmãos Mu...'; control: 'terroris' 116 hits in the same text).

[...] Nejvýznamnějším jevem v oblasti islamistického terorismu v roce 2025 zůstávala online radikalizace zpravidla mladistvých osob."
English - our translation, unproofreadThe level of threat to the Czech Republic from terrorism remained low in 2025, despite dynamic developments in the world. The greatest security threat of Islamist terrorism for Europe was posed by Islamic State (IS), above all in the form of inspiration for its supporters on the continent. [...] The most significant phenomenon in the area of Islamist terrorism in 2025 remained online radicalisation, as a rule of minors.
Counter-evidence (same report): BIS rates the terrorism threat to the Czech Republic 'low', says violent capacity was low in the overwhelming majority of monitored cases, and lists widespread Islamophobia among the radicalisation factors; the Czech right-wing extremist scene 'as a whole' poses no direct risk to state security but very young individuals online are 'currently more dangerous'; left-wing extremist activity tied to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is described as growing; no direct threat to Jewish sites was found in 2025.

"In Poland, the risks associated with Islamic terrorism - compared with Western European countries - remain at a relatively low level. However, thanks to the work of the Internal Security Agency, single cases of radicalisation linked to Islamic fundamentalism have been uncovered, both among Polish citizens and foreign nationals residing in Poland. [...] A worrying trend is the growing interest in terrorist propaganda (e.g. that of Islamic State) among very young people."
Counter-evidence (same report): ABW itself rates Islamist-terrorism risk in Poland 'relatively low' compared with Western Europe; reports a 'marked increase' in far-right group activity, a rise in incidents by far-left environmentalist groups, and a member of a neo-Nazi terrorist organisation arrested in November 2024; says extreme behaviour among young people is 'rarely driven by a specific ideology'; and the Agency's own gov.pl introduction names Russian-inspired subversion as the main challenge of 2024-2025. The Islamist organisation named is Islamic State (ISIS); the Muslim Brotherhood is not mentioned (0 hits for 'Bractw' in the Polish text, 0 for 'Brotherhood' in the English; control: 'terror' 48 hits). The gov.pl item calls the report a return to publicly presenting ABW results after a break 'of a dozen or so years' - this is the first public ABW report in that period.

Office of the Independent Examiner of Security Legislation - Annual Report 2025 (Foreword)government-review2026Irelandverbatim quote
"Dissident republicans remain a real concern even more than 27 years after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, but the threats we face are far broader now. Today, Islamist terrorism is a significant cause of concern, either because of the possibility of attacks within this jurisdiction - and there have been a number of such attacks within the past number of years - and also the possibility of an attack on a neighbouring jurisdiction being planned or launched from this State. There is also the question of extreme right-wing terrorism as well as single issue terrorism and extreme left-wing terrorism. There is also unease about the activities of hostile state actors. The possibility of actions undertaken by so called "lone wolves", whether motivated by terrorist ideology or not, also requires consideration."
Counter-evidence (same passage): the Examiner names dissident republicans first and 'a real concern', then Islamist terrorism, extreme right-wing, single-issue and extreme left-wing terrorism, hostile state actors and 'lone wolves' 'whether motivated by terrorist ideology or not'. The passage does not rank Islamism above the others. SCOPE CAVEAT: this is a foreword framing a report about interception, surveillance and data-retention law, written by a former judge; it is not an intelligence-service assessment and gives no figures. The parenthetical 'there have been a number of such attacks within the past number of years' is ambiguous about where the attacks occurred; do not read it as a count of attacks in Ireland (the separate NRA row records the August 2024 Galway attack as Ireland's first confirmed jihadist attack). The Muslim Brotherhood is not mentioned (0 hits; control: 'terroris' 19 hits).
National Risk Assessment Ireland: Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Proliferation Financing 2026government-review2026Irelandverbatim quote
"Terrorist attacks across Europe and elsewhere have brought into sharp focus the continuing serious and dynamic nature of the threat posed by international terrorism against the background of continued instability in the Middle East, in particular. The major security concerns relate to the radicalising influences that travellers to conflict zones are exposed to, the security risks some individuals may pose on returning to their home countries, and the potential for attacks by persons who have not travelled to conflict zones but are inspired by groups such as ISIS. In this respect, Ireland enjoys a relatively benign security environment, with no specific intelligence of a particular threat, but recognition that a potential threat may exist. It is assessed that the current risk of an attack in Ireland from this source is moderate."
Counter-evidence (same document): the Irish government's own assessment of the international-terrorism risk of an attack in Ireland is 'moderate' with 'no specific intelligence of a particular threat' in a 'relatively benign security environment'; on the domestic side it names Irish republican paramilitary groups 'the main terrorist threat to the security of the State'; and it records 'growing concern' about right-wing extremism ('the risk is increasing'). SCOPE CAVEAT: a money-laundering / terrorist-financing risk assessment prepared by the Department of Finance, not a security-service threat assessment. The Muslim Brotherhood is not mentioned (0 hits; control: 'Islamist' 4 hits).
Verfassungsschutzbericht 2025 - legalistischer Islamismus and the Muslim Brotherhood (MB)security-service-report2026Austriaverbatim quote
"Eine der bedeutendsten Bewegungen des legalistischen Islamismus in Österreich ist die Muslimbruderschaft (MB). Die MB versuchte im Jahr 2025 weiterhin, Einfluss innerhalb der österreichischen muslimischen Gemeinschaft und in politischen Institutionen zu erlangen und durch ihre generationenübergreifende Strategie die demokratischen Prinzipien und Strukturen zu unterminieren und zu transformieren. [...] Bewegungen und Organisationen im Bereich des legalistischen Islamismus stellen vor allem langfristig eine Gefahr für die liberal-pluralistische Demokratie dar. Sie sind bestrebt, Normen und politische Grundlagen aufzuweichen und Menschenrechte durch die Verbreitung verfassungsfeindlicher Ideologien auszuhöhlen bzw. zu beschneiden. Personen und Vereine aus dem Umfeld der Muslimbruderschaft verfolgen in Österreich zudem das Ziel, Einfluss auf wesentliche politische und gesellschaftliche Institutionen zu nehmen, um so langfristig eine Transformation der Gesellschaft herbeizuführen."
English - our translation, unproofreadOne of the most significant movements of legalistic Islamism in Austria is the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). In 2025 the MB continued to try to gain influence within the Austrian Muslim community and in political institutions and, through its cross-generational strategy, to undermine and transform democratic principles and structures. [...] Movements and organisations in the area of legalistic Islamism pose a danger to liberal-pluralist democracy above all in the long term. They strive to soften norms and political foundations and to hollow out or curtail human rights by spreading anti-constitutional ideologies. Persons and associations from the milieu of the Muslim Brotherhood moreover pursue in Austria the aim of influencing essential political and social institutions in order to bring about, in the long term, a transformation of society.
Limits (same report): the DSN classes the MB under 'legalistischer' (non-violent) Islamism and says the danger is 'vor allem langfristig' (above all long-term); its MB sentences are assessments of what the MB 'versuchte' (tried) to do, not findings of crimes; the same report puts the 'höchste Gefährdungslage' on Islamist terrorism (jihadist) rather than on legalistic movements, records 1,986 right-wing-category and 136 left-wing acts (see row at-dsn-vsb-2025-threat-picture), and the report names Hizb ut-Tahrir and Salafist organisations alongside the MB, not the MB alone. This is an intelligence-service assessment, not a court finding. The row names organisations and their stated aims as the DSN assesses them; it says nothing about Muslims as a population.
Court of Justice of the European UnionYouTube5:57Judgment C-417/23 Slagelse Almennyttige Boligselskab, Afdeling Schackenborgvænge explainedofficial-video2025Denmarkverbatim quote
"Equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin How should national courts assess whether housing legislation amounts to discrimination on the grounds of ethnic origin under EU law? That is the question examined by the Court of Justice in today's judgment in Case C-417/23 Slagelse Almennyttige Boligselskab, Afdeling Schackenborgvænge. The case concerns Danish legislation on public housing that provides for the reduction of housing units in certain "transformation" areas, classified in part by reference to the proportion of residents described as "immigrants and their descendants from non-Western countries." Residents affected by lease terminations argue that this criterion constitutes prohibited discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin. In his short debriefing President Koen Lenaerts walks you through the key elements of the case and the legal framework set out by the Court for assessing direct and indirect discrimination under EU law."
COUNTER-EVIDENCE (court limits). The Court's own explainer of the judgment registered as cjeu-c417-23, uploaded on the judgment date (2025-12-18); also relates to dk-parallel-societies-law, the statute whose criterion the judgment addresses, and must travel with it. The description frames the question and does not state the outcome: the outcome (Art. 2(2)(a) Directive 2000/43/EC, the criterion can constitute direct discrimination) is the register row's. WRITTEN RECORD: the judgment itself (cjeu-c417-23); the spoken words also exist as manual caption tracks in 22 languages published by the Court (listed in the watch-page data, not opened).

XXXIII n. 4): the government's own recording of the presentation event of 4 March 2026 (1:44:06 live-stream recording, no chapters), at which, per the description, the Undersecretary responsible for the security services speaks. Not counter-evidence in the publisher's text. The register row records that the 2026 edition is more hedged than the 2025 one on the conflict-and-recruitment thesis (appeals in jihadist propaganda, not a count of attacks); this description says nothing about content. WRITTEN RECORD: the Relazione itself (it-dis-relazione-2026); the governo.it article linked in the description returned 404 to a plain GET on 2026-10-04.

Relates to ch-ndb-sicherheit-2026: the recorded press conference presenting that report (title date 25.06.2026; 61-minute live-stream recording). Counter-evidence by ANCHOR ONLY: the register row carries the NDB's own limits (Middle East conflict "kein Leitmotiv" for jihadist-radicalised persons, p. 36; publicly visible violence predominantly from the violent left-extremist scene, p. 46), but this description states none of that and stresses a worsened security situation, so the video must not be presented as the source of those limits. WRITTEN RECORD: the report itself (ch-ndb-sicherheit-2026); a VBS/NDB media release was not opened.

Come di consueto, riflette la diversificata gamma di minacce alla sicurezza nazionale che sono state alla prioritaria attenzione dell'Intelligence."
Relates to it-dis-relazione-2025: the description says the report covers "nel corso del 2024", and DIS names editions by publication year ("Relazione annuale 2025" = the register's Anno 2024 report, uploaded 2025-03-04). 1:32 title-card clip. Not counter-evidence; the description does not mention jihadism or the Israel - Hamas conflict, so it does not repeat the register's recruitment-pillar quote. The newer edition is registered as it-dis-relazione-2026 and has its own card (video-palazzo-chigi-2026-presentazione-relazione-annuale). WRITTEN RECORD: the Relazione itself (it-dis-relazione-2025).

"Europol supported the Spanish National Police (Policía Nacional) in disrupting activities of the far-right terrorist group 'The Base'. The operation took place over three days in Madrid and Valencia, resulting in significant seizures and the arrest of three suspected far-right extremists on 25 November 2025."
COUNTER-EVIDENCE (other extremist categories: right-wing terrorism), in the publisher's own text. Relates to europol-tesat-2026: the TE-SAT 2026 (PDF opened 2026-10-04) carries this operation as a Case example on PDF p. 33 - "On 25 November 2025, in Spain, three members of the terrorist organisation The Base were arrested ..." - with footnote 40 citing Europol's press release of the same title. The same TE-SAT counts five right-wing attacks (PDF p. 19) and 43 right-wing arrests in nine Member States (PDF p. 21) beside the Key Findings the register quotes (24 jihadist attacks, 347 jihadist arrests). WRITTEN RECORD: Europol's press release of 1 Dec 2025 (rendered page opened; both sentences of this description appear in it verbatim).
The Queen v Hashem Abedi - Sentencing remarks (Manchester Arena, 22 May 2017)court-judgment2020United Kingdomverbatim quote
"it is to be noted that the choice of the Ariana Grande concert as the target for this incident is one in which the defendant and his brother will have readily appreciated the heightened risk of death and serious injury to those who were particularly vulnerable because of their young age. I am satisfied that it was their intention to specifically target this age group; an aim in which they tragically succeeded, as almost half of those killed in the explosion were either children or teenagers."
LIMITS, from the same source: Same remarks, para. 16 (p. 4): the motivation was "to advance the ideological cause of Islamism; a matter distinct from and abhorrent to the vast majority of those who follow the Islamic faith." The remarks give no per-victim ages; the Manchester Arena Inquiry was not opened in this round.

English - our translation, unproofreadThat evening, 86 lives were stolen. 86. 15 of them were children's, as you recalled. 450 were wounded in their flesh and thousands of others in their soul, sometimes years before the wound found a name.
LIMITS, from the same source: Same speech: "Le meurtrier principal n'était plus là pour répondre de ses actes" - the driver was never tried, so no court ruled on his motive; the 2022 special assize court convicted eight others (Musee-Memorial du terrorisme verdict page). The 15-children figure is attributed by the President to a previous speaker ("vous l'avez rappelé"); a victims' association page on the state memorial site gives "environ 500" physically injured against the President's 450.

English - our translation, unproofreadSimilar reactions were provoked by the attack by an Afghan on a trade-union demonstration in Munich (Bavaria) on 13 February 2025, in which a child and its mother died of their injuries and 44 further people were injured, some seriously.
LIMITS, from the same source: The passage sits in the right-wing extremism chapter and is about right-wing extremists instrumentalising the attack against migrants in general. The motive is stated as the investigators' assumption ("mutmaßlich"); no verdict as of the report. The child's age is not given.
"Am späten Nachmittag des 15. Februar 2025 kam es in der Villacher Innenstadt zu einem Terroranschlag, bei dem eine Person getötet und fünf weitere teilweise schwer verletzt wurden."
English - our translation, unproofreadIn the late afternoon of 15 February 2025 a terrorist attack took place in Villach city centre, in which one person was killed and five others injured, some seriously.
LIMITS, from the same source: Same page: the attacker had "keine strukturelle Einbindung in die Terrororganisation" (self-declared IS allegiance only), and he was stopped by "Dem couragierten Eingreifen eines Zeugen - ebenfalls ein syrischer Staatsbürger". Footnote 4 sits in the right-wing chapter, where the victim's death is used by right-wing extremists. Court outcome not opened.

English - our translation, unproofreadAnd then in 2016 our country was severely tested: 14 July in Nice, but also Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray with the odious murder of Father Jacques HAMEL, which shook France but also allowed a kind of awakening that you started, and I want to thank you for it here.

English - our translation, unproofreadAccordingly, the findings support the assessment that the defendant, with intent to destroy the religious group of the Yazidis, deliberately caused serious bodily harm to the five-year-old girl and serious mental harm to her mother.
LIMITS, from the same source: Same release: the BGH set aside the conviction for aiding the war crime of expulsion and for bodily harm resulting in death ("hat dies hingegen der revisionsrechtlichen Nachprüfung nicht standgehalten"); the life sentence stood.

"Hovrätten anser precis som tingsrätten att åklagaren har visat att den åtalade kvinnan har hållit ett flertal yazidiska kvinnor och barn frihetsberövade och bl.a. tvingat flera av dem att utföra sysslor i hemmet, delta i religiös undervisning samt att be - allt inom ramen för det slaverisystem som införts av IS."
English - our translation, unproofreadThe Court of Appeal, like the district court, finds that the prosecutor has shown that the accused woman held a number of Yazidi women and children deprived of liberty and, among other things, forced several of them to do household chores, take part in religious instruction and pray - all within the slavery system introduced by IS.
LIMITS, from the same source: Same statement: she shared IS's aim "även om hon inte omedelbart har deltagit vid IS våldsdåd mot yazidierna" (even though she did not directly take part in IS acts of violence against the Yazidis). Unanimous; 12 years upheld.

English - our translation, unproofreadDuring her stay in Syria the woman, together with another person, made a Yazidi woman enslaved by IS perform household tasks for her for about a month. The court of appeal, like the district court, finds it proven that the woman is thereby guilty of co-perpetrating slavery. That is a crime against humanity.

LIMITS, from the same source: Para. 25 (p. 8): "The mission was not intended to be, and is not a substitute for, an investigation". Para. 78 (p. 20): "Given the mission was not investigative, it did not gather information and/or draw conclusions on attribution of alleged violations to specific armed groups"; Hamas denied the claims. Para. 19: prevalence not established. Para. 18: West Bank stakeholders raised sexual-violence concerns about Israeli security forces and settlers.

"The prosecution have made it clear that these proceedings were not acts of terrorism within the meaning of the terrorism legislation, because there is no evidence that Rudakubana's purpose was to advance a political, religious, racial or ideological cause. I must accept that conclusion."
LIMITS, from the same source: Same paragraph: the judge holds his culpability "equivalent in its seriousness to terrorist murders, whatever his purpose". The CPS plea release (opened) records he also admitted possessing an Al-Qaeda training manual as a terrorist document - a terrorism offence, but not an Islamist motive for the killings.

"22 mineurs ont ainsi été mis en examen pour une infraction terroriste suivie par le PNAT en 2025. Ils représentent le tiers des procédures ouvertes en 2025 et 20% des personnes mises en examen au cours de cette année."
English - our translation, unproofread22 minors were thus charged (mis en examen) with a terrorist offence handled by the PNAT in 2025. They account for a third of the proceedings opened in 2025 and 20% of the persons charged that year.
LIMITS, from the same source: The 22 covers all terrorist offences, not only jihadist ones (jihadism is "88% des procédures suivies" overall). The same answer states that most 2025 proceedings concern individuals "sans lien direct avec les organisations terroristes", self-inspired by online propaganda - which limits any organisational reading.

English - our translation, unproofreadThe absence of attacks with fatalities on national territory during 2025 confirms the operational excellence of the intelligence and security services, as well as the soundness of preventive judicial control (there was only one knife attack, in Madrid, investigated as jihadist terrorism, leaving several people slightly injured).
Tables, printed pp. 496-497 (Ministerio del Interior data as of 25.02.2026): jihadist terrorism detainees in Spain 78 in 2023, 81 in 2024 and 100 in 2025, from 64 operations; 13 more detained abroad in Spanish operations; 13 detainees from other terrorist groups in 2025. The record year remains 2004 (131). The table warns that figures may differ from earlier editions. Agrees with Europol (row europol-tesat-2026: 100 jihadist arrests and one jihadist attack in Spain in 2025). LIMITS: a research yearbook relayed by the National Security Department on 28 Feb 2026 counts 58 operations, not 64, with the same 100 detainees.

"En estos tres momentos, el plan especial de seguridad se encontrará establecido en su máximo nivel de activación, así como los planes de autoprotección y emergencias, todo ello en coordinación con el Nivel de Alerta del Plan de Prevención, Protección y Respuesta Antiterrorista (en la actualidad, nivel 4 reforzado), al objeto de garantizar la seguridad integral de toda la visita."
English - our translation, unproofreadAt these three moments the special security plan will be at its maximum level of activation, as will the self-protection and emergency plans, all in coordination with the Alert Level of the Anti-Terrorist Prevention, Protection and Response Plan (currently level 4, reinforced), in order to guarantee the comprehensive security of the whole visit.
The Interior Ministry's antiterrorist alert level: 4 on a five-point scale (1 low, 2 moderate, 3 medium, 4 high, 5 very high, as set out by the National Security Department in 2016), reinforced. Spain's National Security Report for 2025 (row es-dsn-iasn-2025-terrorismo) records the same level for the whole of 2025. LIMITS: a level is a standing posture that has not changed in over ten years; it is not a measure of incidents. The Interior Ministry's own alert-level page could not be opened (it blocks automated reading); this press note is the latest official wording found.
Informe Anual de Seguridad Nacional 2025 - Terrorismo y radicalizacion violentagovernment-review2026Spainverbatim quote
"En este contexto, España continúa enfrentándose a la amenaza terrorista de ideología yihadista, marcada principalmente por la potencial actuación de actores solitarios autorradicalizados que, según las detenciones practicadas en el último año presentan un perfil progresivamente más joven, incluyendo individuos menores de edad. [...] España, durante el 2025, ha mantenido su Nivel de Amenaza Antiterrorista en un grado 4 de 5."
English - our translation, unproofreadIn this context, Spain continues to face the terrorist threat of jihadist ideology, marked mainly by the potential action of self-radicalised lone actors who, according to the arrests made in the last year, show a progressively younger profile, including minors. [...] Spain, during 2025, maintained its Anti-Terrorist Threat Level at grade 4 of 5.
LIMITS, in the same chapter: p. 48 says those detained in Europe share "una limitada formación religiosa, escaso o nulo vínculo previo con organizaciones terroristas" (limited religious formation and little or no prior link to terrorist organisations); p. 52 rates non-jihadist violent extremism in Spain as rising "aunque alejada del marco de muchos países europeos" (though far from the picture in many European countries); p. 53 records the first operation against the far-right accelerationist group The Base. Figure 2.7 (73 operations, 113 detainees) includes operations abroad; it is not a Spain-only count.
Memoria de la Fiscalia General del Estado (2026, ejercicio 2025) - 6.2 Menores: Seccion de Menores de la Fiscalia de la Audiencia Nacionalgovernment-review2026Spainverbatim quote
"En cuanto a los delitos competencia de la Sección de Menores de la Fiscalía de la Audiencia Nacional, en el año 2025 se han incoado 47 Diligencias Preliminares que han dado lugar a 32 Expedientes de Reforma; en el año 2024 se incoaron 50 Diligencias Preliminares frente a las 26 incoadas en 2023, y las 8 de 2022. Por tanto, en este ejercicio se constata un ligero descenso frente al año anterior, pero se mantienen cifras muy similares, contrastando con aquellas más bajas de ejercicios anteriores. Del total de Diligencias Preliminares incoadas, 20 corresponden a delitos de terrorismo de carácter yihadista, y el resto lo son por delitos de naturaleza sexual y lesiones cometidos en el extranjero. Bajo el control de ejecución de la Sección de Menores de la Fiscalía de la Audiencia Nacional constan actualmente 13 menores cumpliendo medidas de internamiento en régimen cerrado."
English - our translation, unproofreadAs for offences within the competence of the Juvenile Section of the Prosecutor's Office at the Audiencia Nacional, in 2025 47 Preliminary Proceedings were opened, giving rise to 32 Reform Files; in 2024 50 Preliminary Proceedings were opened, compared with 26 in 2023 and 8 in 2022. This year therefore shows a slight decrease from the previous year, but figures remain very similar, in contrast with the lower figures of earlier years. Of all the Preliminary Proceedings opened, 20 concern offences of jihadist terrorism, and the rest are sexual offences and assaults committed abroad. Under the enforcement supervision of the Juvenile Section of the Prosecutor's Office at the Audiencia Nacional there are currently 13 minors serving closed-regime custodial measures.
LIMITS, in the same passage: a slight decrease from 2024, and fewer than half of the 47 proceedings (20) concern jihadist terrorism. Spain's National Security Report for 2025 describes an increasingly young profile among those arrested, "incluyendo individuos menores de edad" (row es-dsn-iasn-2025-terrorismo).
Memoria de la Fiscalia General del Estado (2026, ejercicio 2025) - 10. Delitos de odio y discriminacion (Torre Pacheco)government-review2026Spainverbatim quote
"En el año 2025 hemos asistido con gran preocupación a los graves acontecimientos ocurridos en Torre Pacheco durante el mes de julio de 2025, que evidenciaron las peligrosas consecuencias y efectos del discurso de odio difundido de forma masiva e incontrolada en redes sociales, lo que ha motivado la apertura de diversas diligencias de investigación y procedimientos judiciales, principalmente en la Región de Murcia. [...] en las que se encuentra investigado el presunto fundador del grupo Deport Them Now , movimiento de carácter supremacista, antiinmigración y antislámico, que promociona la adopción de políticas migratorias centradas en la identificación y deportación inmediata de los inmigrantes en situación irregular y que, a través de canales de Telegram, Instagram y X, presuntamente emitió un comunicado para llevar a cabo una "cacería" en la localidad de Torre Pacheco contra la población magrebí."
English - our translation, unproofreadIn 2025 we witnessed with great concern the serious events in Torre Pacheco during July 2025, which showed the dangerous consequences and effects of hate speech spread massively and uncontrollably on social networks, which has led to the opening of various investigative proceedings and judicial proceedings, mainly in the Region of Murcia. [...] in which the alleged founder of the group Deport Them Now is under investigation, a movement of supremacist, anti-immigration and anti-Islamic character, which promotes the adoption of migration policies centred on the identification and immediate deportation of immigrants in an irregular situation and which, through Telegram, Instagram and X channels, allegedly issued a statement calling for a 'hunt' in the town of Torre Pacheco against the Maghrebi population.
COUNTER-EVIDENCE (other extremist categories), in the prosecutor's own text. The July 2025 violence in Torre Pacheco, Murcia, is recorded as hate crime spread on social networks. The same section lists a group assault with xenophobic insults on a man of Maghrebi origin, people wrongly identified online as the attackers of a local resident, a hooded group's raid on a kebab shop, and an assault on a minor wrongly identified as one of the attackers. LIMITS: "presunto" throughout - investigations, not convictions. No official source opened links these events to jihadism.

"The European Parliament, [...] Calls on the Council to include on the EU list of terrorist organisations entities and individuals linked to the Muslim Brotherhood where the criteria of Common Position 2001/931/CFSP are met and to apply the corresponding restrictive measures;"
LIMITS: a non-binding political resolution of the European Parliament, not a finding by a court or a security service. It lists nobody: only the Council can add a name to the EU terrorist list, and the request is conditional ("where the criteria ... are met"). The same text says that "Islam, as a religion, is not inherently political or hostile, and the overwhelming majority of those who observe Islam as a religion reject violence against civilians in the name of Islam" (recital C) and that "protecting Muslim citizens against discrimination is a democratic obligation" (paragraph 3). The organisations it names in its recitals are described in Parliament's own words, which establish no fact about them.

Operation of police powers under the Terrorism Act 2000 and subsequent legislation: Arrests, outcomes, and stop and search, Great Britain, to June 2026government-statistics2026United Kingdomverbatim quote
"The total number of 275 persons in custody for terrorism and terrorism-connected offences in Great Britain as at 30 June 2026 represents a 7% increase year-on-year, rising from 257 persons as at 30 June 2025. While the number of terrorist prisoners categorised as holding Islamist-extremist views remained unchanged at 157 compared to the year ending June 2025, increases among those categorised as holding extreme right-wing and other ideologies resulted in an overall rise in the terrorist prisoner population."
LIMITS: the ideology figures cover prisoners only and are a prison-service categorisation ("categorised as holding"); the release gives no ideology breakdown for arrests. The same release says the share categorised as holding Islamist-extremist views "decreased from 70% to 57%" since the year ending June 2021, while the extreme right-wing share rose from 22% to 29%. Of 3,867 terrorism-related arrests in the year, 3,630 were "linked to supporting Palestine Action, following its proscription on 5 July 2025", so the arrest total says nothing about Islamist activity. The figures are provisional and "likely to be revised". The release also breaks its figures down by personal characteristics; this archive does not use those breakdowns, because its subject is organisations and ideology, not populations. It follows the release for the year ending March 2026, which is also in this register (gb-homeoffice-tact-arrests-ye-mar-2026).
Eingangsstatement von BfV-Präsident Sinan Selen bei der 10. Öffentlichen Anhörung durch das Parlamentarische Kontrollgremiumgovernment-statement2026Germanyverbatim quote
"Auch der Blick auf das zweite Feld - den internationalen Terrorismus - zeigt anhaltend hohe Gefahren. Internationale Konfliktregionen beeinflussen weiter durch Emotionalisierungs-Effekte die Sicherheitslage in Deutschland - und befeuern insbesondere Gewaltbereitschaft gegen jüdische sowie israelische Einrichtungen. Ich erinnere nur an die Gruppierung HAYI, die sich im März und April zu mehreren Brandanschlägen auf größtenteils jüdische Einrichtungen in Deutschland und Europa bekannte. Auch hier müssen wir die Beeinflussung und mögliche Verbindung staatlicher, nicht-staatlicher und krimineller Akteure stark im Blick behalten. Daneben setzt sich bei sehr jungen Zielpersonen im Jihadismus der gefährliche Trend einer schlichten Glorifizierung von Gewalt fort, wobei komplexe ideologische Dogmatik zunehmend entbehrlich wird."
English - our translation, unproofreadA look at the second field - international terrorism - also shows persistently high dangers. International conflict regions continue to influence the security situation in Germany through emotionalisation effects - and fuel in particular a readiness for violence against Jewish and Israeli institutions. I recall only the grouping HAYI, which in March and April claimed responsibility for several arson attacks on mostly Jewish institutions in Germany and Europe. Here too we must keep a close eye on the influence and possible connection of state, non-state and criminal actors. In addition, among very young target persons in jihadism the dangerous trend of a plain glorification of violence continues, with complex ideological dogma becoming increasingly dispensable.
LIMITS: a short opening statement to a parliamentary hearing ("Es gilt das gesprochene Wort!"), with no figures. Most of it is about Russian hybrid attacks, which the president of the service puts first of three priority fields; international terrorism is the second. The statement does not use the word Islamism, and the only organisations it names are the group HAYI and, in a list of arrests, HAMAS operatives; for HAYI it says possible links between state, non-state and criminal actors must be watched. It says the same pattern of very young, violence-prone actors is found "simultan im gewaltorientieren Extremismus", with anti-CSD events given as an example beside demonstrations about the Middle East conflict. The remark that ideological dogma is becoming dispensable cuts against reading these cases as driven by doctrine.
Deutscher BundestagYouTube2:58:08"Parlamentarisches Kontrollgremium"
LIMITS: the publisher's description is two words and says only which body met; this entry says nothing about what was said in the room, and the recording (2 h 58 min) was not watched for this archive. COUNTER-EVIDENCE: the Bundestag's own report of the hearing (https://www.bundestag.de/dokumente/textarchiv/2026/kw41-pa-pkgr-1211186) is headed "Nachrichtendienste sehen Russland als gefährlichsten Gegner" and opens: "Russland stellt aktuell die größte sicherheitspolitische Herausforderung für Deutschland dar." On terrorism that report quotes the president of the domestic service as seeing "anhaltend hohe Gefahren" and as saying that international conflict regions fuel "insbesondere Gewaltbereitschaft gegen jüdische sowie israelische Einrichtungen". The report does not contain the words Islamismus or islamistisch, so the recording is not presented here as a statement about Islamist organisations.

There the minister delegate speaks of "l'organisation terroriste qu'est le Hamas" and says France "continuera à mener un combat déterminé contre le terrorisme islamiste qui a frappé sur notre sol à plusieurs reprises". To be read beside it, from her answers the same afternoon: "pas un Français juif n'est responsable de la situation à Gaza, pas un Français juif n'a à s'excuser pour ce qui se passe à des milliers de kilomètres de son pays".

LIMITS: the same report says most of the minors (72 %) were assessed as having a weak or absent ideological conviction, that for some of them the concern about extreme Islamist ideology was dropped, and that some threats about IS turned out to be nonsense. It calls the group relatively small and says PST does not know all radicalised minors (p. 4); 44 % were not followed up with preventive measures because no basis was found, and the concern was reduced for relatively many (p. 13). What drove several of the minors was not known (p. 7). Interest in IS is not membership. PST's own landing page adds: "Det er viktig å understreke at disse kjennetegnene ikke gjelder alle muslimer, men en liten gruppe ekstreme islamister." ("It is important to stress that these characteristics do not apply to all Muslims, but to a small group of extreme Islamists.") The report's background figures on the minors' families and health are not reproduced here.
"The terrorist threat we see today is more diverse and more complex. Threats can come from a wide range of places and ideologies. In the UK and overseas, the threat from Islamist terrorism is the most prevalent and dangerous, but other threats, including extreme right-wing terrorists, threat from hostile states, and related challenges from violence-fixated individuals are of significant concern."
LIMITS: a government assessment, not a court finding, and the same sentence names extreme right-wing terrorism, hostile states and violence-fixated individuals as significant concerns. The report covers 2025: of 3,034 terrorism-related arrests, 2,779 (92%) were linked to supporting Palestine Action after its proscription on 5 July 2025 (255 once those are removed), so arrests do not measure Islamist activity, and no ideology breakdown of arrests is given. The ideology figures it does give are for persons in custody at 31 December 2025: 155 (58%) held Islamist extremist views, 77 (29%) extreme right-wing views and 35 (13%) other ideologies. The three organisations proscribed in 2025 (Palestine Action, Maniacs Murder Cult, Russian Imperial Movement) are not Islamist. The report says there are limits on how much can be said publicly about certain sensitive techniques. Threat level at publication: SEVERE.

Relates to: fr-elysee-adresse-2026-10-18 (elysee.fr transcript, opened in track L) and track-L-france-unrest.json / .md (E1, section 2); fr-elysee-adresse-2026-10-18. COUNTER-EVIDENCE: The address (per the elysee.fr transcript in track L) attributes the violence to the ultra-left and radical far left, names no organisation and has zero hits for "palestin"; no Islamist link. The Paris prosecutor did not confirm the attribution (see the Beccuau row).

"Laurent Nuñez, le ministre de l'Intérieur, annonce que 550.000 manifestants ont participé à la journée de mobilisation de ce 17 octobre dont "110.000" à Paris. Plus tôt, les organisateurs avaient déclaré que 800.000 étaient mobilisés."
Relates to: track-L-france-unrest.json / .md (E1, section 2); fr-elysee-adresse-2026-10-18 (Interior Minister figures). COUNTER-EVIDENCE: The description carries the organisers' higher figure (800,000) next to the ministry's; the clip is about turnout of a cost-of-living mobilisation, not about any organisation. Per track L the minister's later attribution is to the ultra-left.
