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

Germany: Half of all Salafists who joined the Islamic State were active in mosques

Oct 7, 2016 9:25 pm By Blain Tamarin

Rest assured, dear readers: mosques and jihad have nothing to do with Islam!

Just kidding — according to an investigation by the German intelligence services, half of all Salafists who left Germany to join ISIS were active in mosques before leaving. This indicates that whatever is being taught in the mosques must be radical enough to encourage wannabe jihadists to leave for Syria to actually wage jihad.

A press secretary of the German intelligence service told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Woche, “Mosques continue to play a central role in the radicalization of Islamists in Germany.” They estimate around 9200 Salafists currently in Germany.

The hyper-PC German press continues to use words like “Salafist” and “Islamist”, in an effort to differentiate extremists from ordinary Muslims. An estimate from 2010 indicates that there are about 5 million Muslims living in Germany, a figure that is certain to rise due to the migrant crisis.

Verfassungsschutz-Untersuchung„Moscheen spielen weiter zentrale Rolle für Radikalisierung von Islamisten“, Focus.de, October 7, 2016:

Moscheen sind für die Anwerbung in der radikalislamistischen Szene weiterhin wichtige Anlaufstellen. So war fast die Hälfte der Salafisten, die nach Syrien oder in Irak ausreisten, zuvor in Moscheen aktiv.

Das berichtet die „Frankfurter Allgemeine Woche“ unter Bezug auf eine bisher noch unveröffentlichte Untersuchung des Verfassungsschutzes. Danach waren von 624 Salafisten, die nach Syrien und in den Irak reisten, 268 vor ihrer Ausreise in einer Moscheegemeinde, einem Moscheeverband oder einem Moscheeverein aktiv.

Das entspricht 43 Prozent. „Die Moscheen spielen für die Radikalisierung von Islamisten in Deutschland weiterhin eine zentrale Rolle“, zitiert die F.A.Z.-Woche eine Sprecherin des Bundesamtes für Verfassungsschutz.

Mutmaßlich 9200 Salafisten in Deutschland

Die Untersuchung analysiert fortlaufend Hintergründe und Verlauf der Radikalisierung von Personen, die mit islamistischer Motivation nach Syrien oder in den Irak ausreisten. Grundlage sind Daten von insgesamt 784 Personen, die ausreisten oder eine solche Ausreise aktiv versuchten. Die Gesamtzahl der Salafisten wird vom Verfassungsschutz bundesweit mit 9200 Personen angegeben.

    If a mosque has been linked to the violent jihad of its attendees then it should be automatically closed for a cooling off period and the staff prosecuted for maintaining a house of ill repute.

      Mosques teach the Qurán, the Sira and the Hadith, so they are all radical and should all be shut down, period. No cooling off period. After all, jihad is essential to Islam, so if a mosque doesn’t teach it, it is not teaching real Islam.

        No cooling off… just level the mosque. Deport those that are preaching extremism.

      A mosque linked to ” radical jihad” should be blown up and the rubble buried under pig shyte.

      No.

      Surprise searched. Using the army. Sappers and sniffer dogs: dogs trained to detect illegal drugs, cadavers, and explosives.

      Do it on a Friday. Detain and search everyone present (check all fingerprints against the unsolved-crimes database…).

      Find *anything* and *anyone* at all ‘dodgy’… shut the place down. Permanently. Resume the land and repurpose for infidel use. If the mosque is not in infidel heritage buildings that could be restored to infidel use, raze the thing to the ground.

      The place is not an embassy of a foreign power but a *military base*, a command-and-control centre, recruitment-and-incitement centre, and very likely an arsenal, safe-house, and arms-and-explosives factory (and usually with NO observance of pesky infidel health-and-safety rules about either manufacture or storage of dangerous substances).

      Confiscate the property. They are like wild animals brought.here and let loose. They need.a habitat they stay at with gates to protect the humans.

    The key to the current problem of Muslims in the West will be found in the Mosques.
    Our mindset is to equate an expat community wanting a religious leader from their home country with the Christian experience.
    Reformed Church communities in Australia and NZ often have native Dutch pastors.
    An Imam allowed into a Western nation to officiate at a mosque, immediately starts to correct his adherents rapid Westernisation.
    Moderate mosque groups in the US are not visited by Obama. He goes for the big trad ones. No doubt because of his perverse obsession that Islam is a Religion of Peace.

    he hyper-PC German press continues to use words like “Salafist” and “Islamist”, in an effort to differentiate extremists from ordinary Muslims.

    Indeed, and that’s a very dangerous pit to fall in.

    What any reporter worth their salt should be doing, is trying to find out *which* mosques, exactly, and where.

    *Which* mosques did those Islamic State recruits attend, before they went off (or attempted to go off) to Syria?

    The names of all those mosques should be publicised; and sent to every politician in Germany with a question: “Why have not these mosques been searched from attic to basement, and then shut down, permanently?”

    Perhaps the Alternativ fur Deutschland party could pursue this matter, and make it a cause celebre.

    Because if every mosque in Germany that can be established to have been regularly attended by an Islamic State recruit/ wannabee, were shut down.. permanently.. then Germany might be rid of quite a few mosques.

    Many fools still seem to think, lots of mosques are not muslim it seems.
