Germany: Muslims rob churches to support the Islamic State

Nov 17, 2014 5:02 am By Robert Spencer

“The suspects didn’t only break into churches and schools. They also raise money supposedly for humanitarian causes directly from clueless German citizens.” These “clueless German citizens” could be Muslims who knew full well to what they were contributing, or else bemused Leftists happy to contribute to “humanitarian relief” for Syria and Iraq.

Anyway, these Muslims need not have robbed the churches. They could have just knocked on the front door and told the priest or minister that giving them money would aid the “Muslim-Christian dialogue,” and the Christians would have happily forked over all the money they wanted.

“Pro-ISIS Salafists Are Robbing German Churches,” by Florian Flade and Kristian Frigelj, Die Welt, translated at Worldcrunch, November 13, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

MUNICH — It began nearly a year ago, on the weekend after Christmas. On Saturday night, unidentified individuals broke into a church in the Cologne district of Porz-Urbach. They broke open the safe in the sacristy and got hold of the key to the church. They ended up stealing money from the collection boxes, liturgical vessels, bowls and a monstrance. They weren’t able to get their hands on the Christmas collect because it had already been removed from the church.

In the following months, numerous churches in the greater Cologne area were broken into. Sometimes the thieves stole money and all manner of valuable objects in broad daylight. The police investigated and clues pointed to the possible involvement of Salafists who intended to use valuable holy objects from the churches to financially support jihad in Iraq and Syria. The suspicion was later confirmed by undercover investigations.

On Wednesday morning, the state prosecutor in Cologne and the federal public prosecutor’s office in Karlsruhe gave the signal: more than 240 officials mainly in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, but also in Lower Saxony and Bavaria began a spectacular raid.

In the North Rhine-Westphalia cities of Cologne, Siegen, Bergisch-Gladbach, Kreuztal and Netphen, they arrested a total of nine suspects, eight Germans: Mustapha A., 25, Kais B. O., 31, Lazhar B. O., 22, Sofien B. O., 35, Omar B. O., 25, Anoaur J., 25, Ali Ö., 23, and Usman A., 29, as well as a Pakistani citizen, Mirza Tamoor B., 58. The apartments of a further 20 persons on the Salafist scene were searched.

Burkhard Freier speaks of a “swamp” that investigators and the police “drained.”

“It’s not the only swamp, but it’s a big one,” says the head of North Rhine-Westphalia intelligence. It was a “successful day.”

Capturing the ‘commuters’

For about a year and a half the state prosecution’s “Reise” investigating group working in tandem with the federal prosecution in Karlsruhe has had 44 people on their radar, all of whom are “Salafist extremists” according to Freier. They are known to both national intelligence and police and some of them are already on the wrong side of the law. The 44 persons of interest are mainly German citizens. “The arrests and searches show that security officials are on the ball and are using all legal means to fight extremist Salafists,” said North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister of the Interior Ralf Jäger.

The federal prosecution in Karlsruhe was involved in the strike against the Salafists, and for its part issued two arrest warrants. The authorities are accusing Kais B. O. and Mirza Tamoor B. of supporting terrorist organizations – the ISIS, Ahrar al-Sham and Junud al-Sham – and of having recruited for the ISIS in Germany.

Mirza Tamoor B. allegedly turned over to ISIS and Ahrar al-Sham a total of 3200 euros and a transport vehicle. Investigators are working on the assumption that Kais B. O. recruited at least three men from Germany for terrorist jihad in Syria.

According the North Rhine Westphalia intelligence chief, approximately one-third of these persons of interest are so-called commuters who travel between Germany and the war zones bringing goods and money. The suspects didn’t only break into churches and schools. They also raise money supposedly for humanitarian causes directly from clueless German citizens….

      And at least some of the ‘fundamental followers’ of the false Satanic ‘moon-god Allah’ and his lying ‘prophet’ for profit Mohammed – specifically the ‘terrorist groups’ – ALSO sell women and girls!

    One would think that followers of any religion would be ashamed the break into the house of worship of an other religion, if for no other reason than it would reflect poorly on their own religion.

    Islam has in its doctrine to pillage from people of other religions.
    Ironically Muslims demand to be shown respect.
    They wish to steal our respect, not earn it.

  7. Charli Main says

    Given the Muslim mind set, I very much doubt that any of these Muslims think that they are stealing.
    These Muslims are just carrying out their allah given right to collect Jizya from their Dhimmni slaves.

    Not surprised at all.

    The Muslims are doing what “their god”, who according to Jesus in John’s Gospel was, is, and will always be, “a liar, a thief, and a murderer from the begining.”

    Hmmm – weird, but I used to live in Germany in the late ’70s and the Germans I knew inevitably had names like Karl, Jurgen, Franz, Wilhelm, Stephan, Hans, etc. I guess something must have changed since I left….

    “Germany and Europe need to be removing Muslims from their lands, as does Britain…I fear it may be the only solution.”

    View their numbers it’s a little too late for such a solution. A more practical one would be the removal of all the compromised and corrupt leaders who sold their countries for a few petro-dollars and bringing them to justice. This should be done by FORCE through peaceful mass demonstrations or through a bloody civil war.
    Then, and only then, would the free peoples of the West be able to reshape their laws and adapt them to the new situation.

    I don’t know if anyone else has noticed something about the trolls who make fools of themselves on this (and other) sites…… The extremely weak minds, limited intelligence, and lack of ability to think out of the box (in this case, a coffin..), remind me of the very early (Commodore 64 era) attempts at programs that tried to imitate human beings…. They failed just as badly as this christy/abdula charcter.

    India has to face double whammy, we are a war with jihadists for the last 1000 years.Christian missionaries are “selling” christianity to poor Indians.If Europe really wants to fight jihadists they must help India,who has expertise of facing jihadists for the last 1000 years.Missionaries must stop conversion of Hindus.Hindu religion does not seek conversions from other religions.India is the only country in the world that has sheltered people from religious prosecution;Jews are living in India for the last 1500years without fear.Zorastrians faced extinction in Iran,but were sheltered in India.

    • AnneM says

      Quick question.

      In regards to the Jewish population, is it true that they left for Israel?

  15. Keith says

    Nov 18, 2014 at 7:06 am

    Of course there are areas of conflict between other religions. There will always be some tensions between people whom believe different things (including atheists) and sometimes these will spill over into violence between different parties. The problem with muslim violence is that it is common place where ever muslims are in large enough concentrations (about 5-10 percent of population) that the bigots can really start preaching their hatred of every one that is not a muslim and be protected by the “non violent” muslims. This is shown throughout the middle east, is happening also in Indonesia and Malaya. It is now happening throughout Europe.

    If you really want to know what happens look at Lebanon, this used to be a Christian country in the middle east but they believed it was their role to help the muslims who lost their homes and properties in the muslim violence against Israel and now it is a muslim majority country with all that entails for non muslims.

    Help the muslims and be betrayed by the people you help as soon as they can manage it. This is what is happening throughout the western world now.

    Arme Arme Deutschland! (Poor poor Germany!) You know all of our social experiments of bringing in folks from these third world barbarian mohammadan majority countries has backfired and bit us all on the ass. No other word for it. Now for some education….please check out F.W. Burleigh’s bio on Moham, “It’s All About Mohammed; the World’s Most NOTORIOUS Prophet.” This book is based upon 20,000 pages of ISLAMIC sources, so F.W. used them against themselves on their barbarian prophet – a murderous, psychopath, child-rapist, thief who was a
    ‘profit’ allright. I left a review of this book on amazon and also ordered 3 more copies to donate to my church library and a couple of friends who wish to educate themselves on the BarBarian Prophet. I learned a lot – and hence can THROW crap about the Profit Moham right back in mohammadan’s faces! That is worth the cost of admission right there! F.W. has copious endnotes to islamic sources and a detailed bibliography. It’s for $15 and odd change. A real page turner and loaded with details – or you can skip to the EPILOG on ‘what to do next’.

    @ JayShawn – I am also a CHRISTian – The things that are happening worldwide should make it more and more clear to those “few in number”, “the remnant”, the truly “converted”, “saved”, “born again”, “bought with a price”, true believers and followers of “the Lord Jesus Christ” – ‘Biblical CHRISTians’ – that we are truly living in the ‘end-of-the-end times’
    – There will be ever more rapidly various increases in the dangers of the ‘spiritual deceptions, delusions and a falling away from’ “the truth” of
    “the word of the LORD”
    – RIGHT NOW – TODAY, AND TOMORROW, AND THE DAY AFTER THAT, …

    The increasing irrationality and exponential increases of evil – like that which is becoming ‘normal’ by the ‘fundamental followers’ of the false Satanic ‘moon-god Allah’ and his lying ‘prophet’ for profit Mohammed – are going to do nothing but increase!
    The whole world is becoming more and yet more rapidly ‘as it was in the days of Noah (Noe) and of Lot’ – righteous Judgment by “the LORD JEHOVAH” will come – it is called the “great tribulation”:
    “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
    Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.”
    (Luke 17:26-29 [KJV])

    May many more real ‘Biblical CHRISTians’ be willing to be used by “the Lord God Almighty” to tell others the ‘Good News’ of “the Gospel of Jesus Christ” – REGARDLESS OF THE COST PERSONALLY
    – with ‘NO Reserves, NO Retreat, NO Regrets’
    – RIGHT NOW – TODAY, AND TOMORROW, AND THE DAY AFTER THAT, …!!!

    “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.:”
    (John 3:16-17 [KJV])
    .

      “…that we are truly living in the ‘end-of-the-end times’”

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      I completely agree, Bro. Nick …we are *right* there! So exciting!

      • Bro. Nick Nicholas says

        Nov 18, 2014 at 1:58 pm

        AMEN on ‘so exciting’! – As always “the truth” of “the word of the LORD” always says it absolutely ‘strait and clear’:
        “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
        The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”
        (Rev 22:30-21 [KJV])
