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

Intel report: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar supporting jihadis in Germany

Dec 15, 2016 4:59 pm By Robert Spencer

No one who understands the ideology that motivates jihad terror, and the status of that ideology in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar will be surprised by this. That means that everyone in the Washington intelligence and foreign policy establishment will be surprised by this.

“Saudi Arabia and Gulf states ‘support Islamic extremism in Germany,’ intelligence report finds,” Belfast Telegraph, December 14, 2016:

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar are supporting extremist Islamic groups in Germany, according to a leaked intelligence report.

A brief seen by the Süddeutsche Zeitung and broadcasters NDR and WDR raised concern over a reported increase in support for fundamentalist Salafism in Germany, warning that the ideology already has 10,000 followers and is growing.

The report, by Germany’s BfV domestic intelligence agency and Federal Intelligence Service (BND) reportedly accused Gulf groups of funding mosques, religious schools, hardline preachers and conversion or “dawah” groups to spread the ideology.

Missionary movements were part of a “long-running strategy to exert influence” by the three states, it found, naming the Saudi Muslim World League, Sheikh Eid Bin Mohammad al-Thani Charitable Association and Kuwaiti Revival of Islamic Heritage Society (RIHS), which has been banned by the US and Russia for allegedly supporting al-Qaeda.

The report said all three organisations were “closely connected with government offices in their home countries”.

The BND and BfV have not confirmed the accuracy of leaked excerpts but sources told Deutsche Welle that some members of the security community believe it was internally leaked to pressure the German government into stopping controversial arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

The country’s ambassador to Germany, Awwas Alawwad, rejected accusations of supporting Salafism, saying his government does not build mosques or export imams and has “no connection with German Salafism”.

He added that the Muslim World League was not a Saudi government organisation and discontinued activities in Germany in 2013.

The Sheikh Eid association and RIHS have also denied connections to jihadi terrorism in the past….

    Muslim denials usually come under the the heading of deceit or lies both of which are core teachings in Islam for the achievement of Islamic goals.

    We simply don’t have enough gold or military to invade and occupy 57 Muslim countries. And the scale is way too big now for airstrikes.
    Destroying an idea or every Quran in the World is impossible. And as with Nazism and Communism, Islam will always be in the history books.
    But, if criminalized Worldwide, this would exclude tenacious resisting Muslims from society, forcing them to live as animals in caves. Not even their patriarch bin Laden could stand that for very long, hence the 38,000 square-foot walled Abbottabad compound, complete with electricity, plumbing, toilets, TV, and the Internet.

      We don’t need to invade all of Dar-al-Islam–we just need to isolate it. This kept us pretty safe from about two hundred years ago to a little over fifty years ago when we started to let in large numbers of Mohammedans. It would work again.

    Do we really need any reports to show Saudis and their gang of Islamists support jihad terrorism all over the world? And even when a report comes out what is the West going to do – just continue denying it.

      Exactly! That’s the kicker, OK…now we know so let’s DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, but that won’t happen. It makes me furious…in the 70’s and 80’s this kind of info would have led to boycotts, military countermeasures and diplomatic expulsions, but not today.

      Yeah, I too am stunned….

      You know, well over a yare ago I wrote in “money, money, money” that since the ‘oil-crisis’ they, the gulf countries, have about $6,000.pp per second **spare cash** to finance Islam.

      Would it surprise you that they not only finance islam in Germany? No, don’t think it would. Soros & Co. are just squire boys, useful idiots, Allah given opportunities and tools as ar as they are concerned.

    Hardly an astonishing piece of news!! The news of the year would be when Germany shows some courage and start deporting these cretins.

    what? German Salafism is not Saudi Salafism? This is so funny. Even hard left papers like the Süddeutsche will soon understand that there is only one islam.

    The most famous German Salafi and mastermind of the Lies! koran-dissemination, the ex-boxer Pierre Vogel, was trained in Saudi Arabia.

    Not just in Germany.
    The UK is polluted by mohammedans in many areas.
    Grotesquely, American friends are banned from the UK, along
    with the great Geert Wilders, but terrorist supporters are allowed
    to hold rallies in our universities.
    CAGE is continuing its tour of UK universities in order to gain support
    for a movement against the Prevent law which the Government uses to
    identify possible extremists.
    One of CAGE’s top scumbags spent 3 years in the Guantanamo Bay facility.
    He’s a celebrity in Student Union circles.
    The President of the Nat Union of Students just happens to be a Jew hating
    mohammedan.

      Ludicrous apologist for Muslim savagery ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      if (sic) christian (sic) west topple these puphet (sic) monarchs they promoted, who will serve their interests of stealing mislim (sic) resources there again?
      ……………………………

      What claptrap. The West is not stealing these resources–the Saudis and Gulf States are filthy rich from oil.

      The irony, of course, is that oil was not a resource until the Infidels invented the internal combustion motor. Muslims had not part in developing this technology.

      More:

      christian (sic) west know at the bottom of their hearts that these backwarded (sic) monarchs are not representing the interest of muslims,yet (sic) they sustain them.look (sic) at jewish (sic) royal family of saudi (sic) arabia,for (sic) example,they (sic) are less than 100000 of the population of 28 million,yet (sic) they control more than 80%of the country’s oil incomes.they (sic) took the money and stashed it in western economies.by (sic) the time these oil sheikhs are toppled, the assets have to be repatriated to muslim (sic) populace to creat (sic) jobs and build sound economic bases there. thus (sic), we welcome any move to get rid of these rascal oil sheikhs who were fixed as satelite (sic) agents of wicked western thieves.
      ……………………………

      Of course, the idea that the Saudi royal family are “Jews” is typical Muslim paranoia.

      And if the Saudis are “Jews”, then why would they be waging violent Jihad–and building Mosques, Madrassas, and funding Da’wa?

      And, of course, the idea that it is unearned oil wealth that “build sound economic bases” is just ridiculous. There are many flourishing Infidel economies that have no basis on oil wealth at all.

      More:

      let (sic) me inform the west that when these sheikhs and evil zionist (sic) state of israhell (sic) are dismantled, world terrorism will vanish.
      ……………………………

      Really? Why were muhammed’s fellow Muslims waging violent Jihad against the West for over a thousand years before the Saudis or the state of Israel ever existed?

      What utter rot.

      More:

      let (sic) christian (sic) west do the needful if they are sincere in their war against terror.the (sic) terrorists groups and oil sheikhs are working for world jewish (sic) agenda,not (sic) for muslim (sic) populace.
      ……………………………

      The “Prophet” Muhammed himself waged violent Jihad terrorism. Was he a “Zionist” as well?
