Anyone caught displaying the black flag of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, whether in public or over the Internet, will face charges in Germany .... By making it illegal to support the group, instead of seeking to ban ISIS in Germany outright, the police will be able to react immediately, without needing to involve the often cumbersome judicial system.
The idea of casting Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as Sophie Scholl is a near-perfect combination of evil, stupidity (if you're fighting a group like ISIS you want its supporters to publicly identify themselves instead of hiding in the shadows) and hubris. But the German state is giving the project the old college try.
