Germany’s domestic intelligence agency believes there are 9,110 violent Islamist extremists nationwide, according to security figures that have been newly highlighted by the German media following Saturday’s deadly attack in Berlin.
The figures, released amid the investigation into the attack on the city’s Christopher Street Day celebrations, show that German authorities identified 28,645 Islamists across the country in 2025. Of those, around 450 are classified as individuals considered capable of committing serious politically motivated crimes, including terrorist attacks.
