A German court just determined a Syrian refugee was guilty of trying to defraud ISIS — a surprising ruling that seems to indicate the terror group is worthy of the government’s legal protections.
The businessman, a hairdresser, was actually sentenced to two years in prison for fraud.
The European Union has ruled ISIS a terror group.

But apparently, in Germany, its members can find redress in the courts if they think they’ve been unfairly treated by businesses.
Reuters has the story (h/t The Religion of Peace):
A German court has found a Syrian refugee guilty of attempting to defraud Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a court spokeswoman said on Monday (Aug 14), granting legal protection to a group viewed as terrorists by the European Union.
A judge in the district court in the south-western city of Saarbruecken sentenced the 39-year old hairdresser from Damascus to two years in prison for trying to get ISIS operatives to transfer him up to 180,000 euros (S$289,044).
The judge ruled that the man used the false pretence that he would carry out attacks in Germany for ISIS using explosives. The money was never transferred to the man.
The court rejected the prosecution’s argument that the man was guilty of the more serious crime of planning to carry out attacks on behalf of the militant organisation.
Both parties have appealed the ruling to the Federal Supreme Court, the court spokeswoman said. The Syrian refugee was named only as Hasan A. due to German privacy laws.

After reading the story, I don;t think it was an open and shut case of charging someone for defrauding ISIS, rather it was a case of the court charging a refugee with the less serious crime of fraud rather the more serious charge of attempted terrorism.

But why would they do that, when the man was clearly attempting terrorism?

They couldn’t prove he had committed any terrorist acts. As I said before, I think charging him with fraud was an open and shut case, I they tried charging him with terrorism, conviction would be rather iffy.
