Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic jihadists “trying to recruit Syrian refugees in Germany”

Sep 11, 2015 10:05 am By Robert Spencer

“The Office for the Protection of the Constitution is currently watching 30 mosques and some 1,900 Islamists in the state, according to the authorities.” 30 mosques? But don’t they know what everyone from David Cameron to John Kerry to the U.S. Catholic bishops knows: that jihad terror has nothing — nothing! — to do with Islam?

“Islamic extremists ‘trying to recruit Syrian refugees in Germany,'” by Justin Huggler, Telegraph, September 10, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Islamic extremists in Germany are trying to recruit Syrian refugees to their cause, the country’s domestic security service has said.

The warning came as one of Germany’s best known Islamist preachers published a list of suggestions for his followers on how best to approach refugees.

Pierre Vogel, a former boxer and convert to Islam who has been described as “Germany’s most influential Salafist preacher”, a puritan branch of Sunni Islam, called on his followers to seek out new recruits at government refugee shelters.

The preacher told his followers to take gifts and donations with them, and to volunteer to help staff with the influx. If the offer was refused, they should seek out newly arrived refugees at nearby mosques where they would go to pray, he said.

Mr Vogel has publicly denounced violence and terrorism as contrary to Islam, and denies any links to jihadist groups such as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil).

But in June German police stormed a house where the preacher had been living until recently and arrested a suspected jihadist who was hiding inside. There are also claims Mr Vogel may have met with another alleged jihadist now on trial in Germany shortly before he travelled to Syria to join Isil.

The preacher’s public speeches have repeatedly been banned by the German authorities. In 2011 he tried to hold public funeral prayers for Osama bin Laden.

Germany’s domestic security service fears the extremists may be trying to prevent refugees from integrating into German society.

A spokesman for the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BFV) told Welt newspaper it was working closely with staff at refugee shelters to make them aware of the issue.

“According to our findings, Salafists have in individual cases tried to establish contact with refugees on the pretext of alleged offers of help,” the spokesman said.

“The staff recognise the behaviour, codes and clothing of the Salafists, and report the incidents.”

Most of the incidents are believed to have centred on North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state.

“It’s still not a mass phenomenon,” Jörg Rademacher, a spokesman for the state government, told Germany’s Catholic News Agency.

There had been “clear proselytising” by Islamists warning refugees against Western values in the state, he said.

The Office for the Protection of the Constitution is currently watching 30 mosques and some 1,900 Islamists in the state, according to the authorities.

    For some reason I cannot post anything. For 4 weeks now…

    Vogel is quite famous in Germany and before the media scapegoated salafis he was in every second talk show. Now of course salafism is bad and islam is good. Pierre Vogel was trained at a “university” in Saudi Arabia. All his money comes from there. SA’s state religion is salafism but no media outlet points that out.

    SA has offered to build 200 mosques for the invaders doing their hijra to Germany. That would make Pierre Vogel very important.

    Merkel wants unlimited Mohammedan invasion in Germany she said in an interview yesterday. It is a “human right”.

    This will not end well, I can tell you. 90% of Germans are fuming.

      Any Western government which decides to allow large numbers of Muslim immigrants or refugees is guilty of treason and must be removed immediately by whatever means are necessary.

          Just wait, people don’t understand that Obama had 75000 Refugees scheduled to come in via 5 Agencies. The 10,000 is in addition to that number. They will be entitled to bring their family here typically 6-10kids and if adults their kids plus dependent parents and the spouses parents. Maybe now the picture is evolving. Usually terror is multi generational ie Muslim brotherhood Salafist it’s not one errant son involved. The 5 Agencies benefiting from human refugee placement are a strong pressure group. Kerry anticipates a growing refugee intake yearly. All this is of course in addition to the 8mm un documentaries aliens living here the porous border non enforcement of cross border violations and the ISIS story that went silent after 2 weeks that was 5 miles from the Us Mexican border with a high level Mexican Field officer internal maps of 2 American bases manuals for light/heavy weapons RPGs. What happened in the end? Think of all the events we don’t know about and the upcoming human invasion

      Today’s Gospel is: A good tree shall bear good fruit. A rotten tree will bear rotten fruit (paraphrased and shortened). We will not be able to predict the future including the future of Germany. However we should not be surprised if Islam, the “rotten tree”, will bear rotten fruit.

      How long will it take for the average middle class German not to buy into Merkle’s arguments Merkle and her Party and become reactionary. I ask about this class of citizens since they’ll be the very last to become angered.

    Germany has to live with the 100,000 + Jihadis for Allah(TM) they have taken in from Syria.

    Bad choices usually end up with bad results.

    And people wonder why Hungary is kicking out Moslem “refugee” butts off their turf.

    Some of the muslims who flew the planes into the Towers fourteen years ago, planned the attacks in a couple of apartments in Germany. It is quite likely that the ones who died, left behind others to keep planning for the next attack. More often than not, some members of a gang of criminals or terrorists escape to plan and commit more crimes and terrorism another day.

    Who is to say the remnants of the group that planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks are not still in Germany planning another? Now they have even more young muslims that have experienced fighting and are clearly not all just *refugees* looking for a safe haven to rest up, recuperate and look forward to being a good citizen of whatever host country gives them refuge. Many thousands will need to be watched, monitored, questioned, etc.
    And it won’t be enough.

    Hello Mrs. Merkel. Do you still think it’s a good idea to take in 800.000 “refugees”?

    Pierre Vogel is the rock star of German muzzies. He speaks the dialect of Cologne and surroundings and for people coming from that area he sounds like nice next door neighbour with whom you can chat about just anything. He’s got something impish about him, he can easily win people by talking for hours without saying anything substantial but it works, he converts a lot of people. He’s a cunning, callous guy with the one goal to spread I slam all over Germany. His sponsors in Saudi Arabia expect a lot from him and now he’s seeing a chance to deliver, all these refugee muzzie youngsters who need to brought on track for the muzzie cause. With the likes of Pierre Vogel Germany is going down the drain

    They are “watching” 1,900 Islamists are they?, If only 1% of Frau Merkel’s 800,000 guests are Islamists, then the Office of the Protection of the Constitution may as well accept defeat.

      Even if the “conversions” are simply to gain a permanent foothold in Germany, it shows that, without the compulsion apparatus of punishment for apostacy, Islam is very weak. Perhaps the migrants realize that Islam cannot really improve their lives in a world with actual freedom to choose a future for themselves.

      This is a good sign, regardless of the motivation. It also means this is a migration and the term “refugees” is a misnomer.

      • EYESOPEN says

        Sep 12, 2015 at 7:46 pm

        Anyone with a functioning brain in their head, who has been watching this well-timed INVASION, has known all along that the term “refugees” was a misnomer. But the use of the word “refugees” tugs on the heartstrings of those who refuse to think with the frontal cortex, and rely instead on being manipulated by their emotions. Too much of that going around to suit me.

    Vogel has no revolutionary plan of recruitment. This is exactly the same plan but smaller used by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt at the point the could come into the sun light after Sadat’s assassination. They performed community work to gain ceditability and get to know people in the neighborhood. The outreach program was immensely successful because the MB used patience to bring all of their beliefs before the communities. Everything fell into place. I don’t think Vogel understands the gradualism nor will defeat the German Security Forces using the tactic.

  14. Diana says

    Sep 12, 2015 at 11:03 pm

    Vogel looks as if he’s of Viking descent. There are obvious similarities between the Vikings’ religion and Islam.

    The asylum seekers are supposed to be fleeing from ISIL. So if any are found to be supporting ISIL, the logical conclusion is that they no longer need asylum. They can be sent back to ISIL territory in complete safety.

    I’d like to know how Vogel persuades a genuine refugee to reverse his loyalties and love the people who persecuted him. You would think they were terrified to discover that ISIL can operate even in a “safe” place like Germany.

    Vogel himself CAN’T be ejected from Germany because he’s indigenous. He could still be locked up for promoting ISIL.

    (12) For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.Ephesians 6

    Muslims are just victim of this satanic religion of Islam.

    Speaking of Germany and refugees, Germany is going to suspend the Schengen agreement due to the high influx of refugees coming in from Austria.

      Correction: temporarily suspend
