Germany: risks to security

A German intercessor says that the influx of refugees presents a challenge for the president of the Federal Office for Homeland Security, Hans-Georg Maassen. He sees three problem areas: 1) Active supporters and members of terrorist organisations entering Germany as refugees. 70% of migrants have no valid identification document. 2) Migrants become radicalised from accessing the Internet. 3) The attempts by Salafist Islamists to recruit migrants for terrorism activities. The situation has also led to a rise in right-wing extremism.
