The mosque’s management is accused of “promoting ISIL values and encouraging young Muslims in the city to travel to Syria and Iraq, and join the ranks of the group, along with Al-Nusra Front.”
Egyptian Human Rights Activist Ahmad Harqan recently said that the Islamic State and Boko Haram are following the Qur’an doing “what the Prophet Muhammad and his companions did.” If he is even partially correct, German authorities have a much larger problem on their hands than just this one mosque.
But anyway, how is it that no one in the mosque ever stood up and said, “Now wait a minute, fellas. You’re missing all the peaceful and tolerant teachings of the Qur’an, and hijacking one of the world’s great religions”?
“Mosque in Germany found spreading ISIL ideology closed by police,” KUNA, December 5, 2014 (thanks to David):
BERLIN, Dec 5 (KUNA) — German authorities have closed a mosque in the northern city of Bremen, after it was accused of encouraging youth to join the extremist Islamic State group (known as ISIL), which is carrying out violent killings across Syria and Iraq.
In unprecedented circumstances, more than 100 German police personnel carried out a search of Masjidu-l-Furqan and its accompanying cultural office, which had both been under police radar since 2007.
The decision comes amid the fight against ISIL ideology, Bremen Interior Secretary Ulrich Maurer said, accusing the mosque’s management of promoting ISIL values and encouraging young Muslims in the city to travel to Syria and Iraq, and join the ranks of the group, along with Al-Nusra Front – another extremist group in Syria.
The centre have so far succeeded in inspiring a total eight men, seven women and 11 juveniles to travel to Syria and join ISIL, according to the official.

Apparently the German government is not constrained by things like CAIR approved FBI training manuals.

..which was approved by the present administration!!

Closing mosques for preaching Islam? What a great idea. What elegant simplicity! As Erdogan said in 2007, “There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that that!” So by that logic, they should all be closed. How about it, cops everywhere?
dumbledoresarmy says
Yep.
It’s a start.
One down, thousands more to go, all over the Lands of the Infidels.
To help accelerate the process, let’s try to get ex-Muslim Sam Solomon’s two little books “The Mosque and Its role in Society” and “Al HIjra: The Islamic Doctrine of immigration” across the desks of as many non-Muslim politicians and police chiefs as we possibly can.
Or else at least read them ourselves till we have fully absorbed what Sam – defector from the Muslim Mob, and now a practising Christian – has to say, and can put it in our own words, over and over, in letters and conversation.

Indeed.

How about we close all the Nation of Islam mosques in the USA as they preach hatred and violence towards whites and they are anti-Semitic?

Is this a step towards rejection of Islamic brutality and its attempt to destroy Western civilization? Does acceptance of a Russian source of energy permit such action because of the freedom from dependence on OPEC/Saudi oil? My first question deserves an “I hope so,” and the second is a “That is a reasonable conclusion.”
Survival of Western civilization depends in great part on rejection of the fictions of theories that include once-held beliefs that petroleum comes from dinosaurs that died millennia ago. (The petroleum cartel also had a monopoly on truth, and it kept to itself.) Results from all this led to unhealthful national alliances and conflicts, destruction of free-market capitalism, loss of the industrial base of the United States, and incredible increase in national debt with impending but avoidable loss of national sovereignty.
All this seems to be the result of drastically the increasing ambitions of a very few for tyranny over billions of people and the resources of the earth. If power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, be warned of the intended absolute power of that very few. They believe in the divine right of wealth, and the divinity they worship is not god, but Mammon.

” once-held beliefs that petroleum comes from dinosaurs”
You REALLY need to educate yourself!
Marblenecltr says
Yes, I welcome sound education, but as ridiculous and as absurd as it sounds, generations ago the world was told and most believed the lie that petroleum came from Barney’s family It was part of the story telling us about peak oil. There was (and maybe still is) an oil company, Sinclair, and its symbol was a large dinosaur displayed on its signs.
Ayattollahowmany says
Now you mention it I do remember that logo!
Identification with Dinosaurs Began in Advertising of 1930 Public’s affectionate regard for Dino inspires series of humorous newspaper advertisements starting in 1936 in which Sinclair and local dealer, split the cost
In 1930, Sinclair’s advertising writers noted that Wellsville-refined lubricants—the best in the Fully aware now that apatosaurus has become a potent symbol, company extends his use to outdoor billboard advertising of its premium gasoline starting in 1937 trade—derived from Pennsylvania grade crudes laid down more than 270 million years earlier. These oils were mellowing in the ground during the Mesozoic era when dinosaurs populated the earth.
So no, they didn’t say “oil comes from dinosaurs” but rather “oil comes from THE AGE of dinosaurs”
Jaladhi says
What is Islamic State ideology – nothing but Islam ideology. By this standard all mosques should be closed in Germany and throughout the world!!
dlbrand says
Amen.
Twostellas says
About time!!!

Trying to make Islam respectable reminds me of a saying we have in Ireland: “It is like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”. There is a similar saying in Spanish whch translated runs: “If you dress a monkey in silk, it remains a monkey”. Islam cannot be whitewashed.

All Mosques should be monitored. As soon as hate speech, endorsement of violent jihad or treason against the host country is detected that Mosque should be closed forever, then demolished.
gp says
That would cover most of them-sedition and incitement. What about Hamas-CAIR in the US?
When you see a mosque just think Trojan Horse filled with Manchurian Candidates all waiting for the signal to strike.

Bremen?
Interesting. Bremen and Hamburg are the first city-states in Germany that have entered into treaties with their Mohammedans, (like the 7th century Jews of Medina) giving them full recognition and putting their ideology on a par with Christianity & Judaism. Needless to mention that both these places are governed by far left nihilists. It is almost amusing that they should now be waking up and taking some action against the ideology that must not be named, when it was them who actually encouraged the spread of it. Sit back and pass the popcorn!
Ayattollahowmany says
Just so. However, you can bet the same idiots STILL believe its a Religion of Peace…
Aton says
Interesting.
I would presume that these were Turkish Muslins, as they are the majority in Germany. So are the Turks joining ISIS now?

Antivenin says
I would be a bit more impressed by this action if the German dhimmi’s had not shown the utmost respect for Muslim sensitivities. The women’s section of the mosque was searched by female police-officers, the men’s section by male officers. All wore covers over their shoes and of course, no dogs were involved. All so Muslims could not say this was an anti-islam action.
As long als such consideration is shown towards the sharia-based sensibilities of Muslims, I have no hope whatsoever that the German elite really understand the seriousness of the threat Muslims are to Europe…
Waiting for the first heads to roll, literally. Maybe that will wake somebody up.

From the article – “In unprecedented circumstances, more than 100 German police personnel carried out a search of Masjidu-l-Furqan and its accompanying cultural office, which had both been under police radar since 2007.”
First they raided and searched it.
Then they shut it down.
I wonder what they found, exacty, when they did the search? The article doesn’t tell us.
Traces of explosives? Chemicals? Biologicals? Weapons? A great big stash of recruiting videos – jihadi Death Porn, featuring beheadings and ritual rapes – from the jihad hotspot in Syria and Iraq??
Whatever it was, seems to have been pretty damning – or pretty damn frightening, and ugly – for the Germans to be galvanised into shutting the thing down just. like. that.
Now, I hope they’ll take a leaf out of Kenya’s book, and start raiding and searching *other* mosques.
I bet that a good, thorough, surprise search of just about *any* mosque anywhere in the non-Muslim world, these days, would turn up all kinds of nasty stuff.
Marblenecltr says
In Muhammad’s time, mosques served as armories and were stocked with weapons. Because he did it, it is a part of the practices of today. The Christian sign of peace is the dove; the sign of peace for Islam is a scimitar.
abad says
Good for Germany. That’s exactly what we need to do here in the United States.
Marblenecltr says
Ayattollahowmany, the adults who presented me with those “facts”, and there were many, were badly informed about the origin of petroleum, and, strangely, there was no revelation of its source other than dinosaurs! Now the providers of that mythology rest with that subject matter, one of which never served to provide a source of automotive fuel, the other of which did not provide good information.
gp says
Thank God that there will be a new sheriff in town next year here in the US. Maybe they will tell Hamas-CAIR where to go (hell) and extend the finger of friendship to all those bastards in the UN filled with Arab Jew hatred!
I hope they take the Big Dog (Israel) off the chain and let him hunt and feed! Maybe even learn a few things from them about how to protect a nation and its’ citizens. The OhBummer and his America hating Muslim loving minions are already circling the drain. Releasing the report this week that throws the entire intelligence community under the bus, well that just sounds like their death knell…and as such it is music to my ears.
