Last Monday a German man who once played for a Jewish soccer team went on trial in Germany for being an alleged supporter of ISIS. The 20 year-old defendant who was identified as 'Kreshnik. B due to Germany`s privacy laws was arrested last December after returning from the Middle East. 'This is the first time Germany has accused any suspected member of a terrorist organization. After doing a background check they discovered that Kreshnik. B previously played for a Jewish soccer team, before he was `radicalized'. Germany's Federal prosecutor believes alleges that in Syria in early July Kreshnik. B joined ISIS. Germany's Federal Prosecutor also alleges that Kreshnik. B had weapon training and fought for ISIS in three battles in Syria. 'German officials estimate there to be around 400 other German citizens that have travelled to Syria to fight for ISIS.Personally I cannot see the insight behind the actions of anyone who would join an organization such as ISIS for any reason. It also strikes me as odd that German Officials hadn't launched any criminal proceedings against any suspected member of a terrorist organization before this. It also strikes me as odd that if German officials estimate there to have been 400 militants that traveled from Germany to Syria, yet they haven't caught anyone else yet.
