Of course, it is illegal to join a terrorist group – or to support one. Germany now has 300 people on their list of people waiting for trial. Those on the list either joined or supported ISIS. The first trial is under way, and if found guilty, he could be facing up to four years in prison. Many more trials are expected to follow.
It is believed that more than 1,000 people have joined ISIS from Europe, and about 550 from Germany. It is known that about 60 have died in combat.
Germany has outlawed promoting ISIS this past September. Some people now face prosecution for either raising funds for ISIS or for supporting them with equipment.
