Last year, the AfD hung campaign posters in Dortmund featuring women in burqas and the slogan “Stop Islamization.” This year’s poster bore the words “Islam-free schools!” under an image of five beaming, light-skinned children.
Seddiqzai, who was born to Afghan parents in the German city of Bochum and who wears a full beard and Nikes to school, said he worries about the effect on his students. “These posters tell them, ‘We don’t want you here,’ ” he said.
Is Seddiqzai also worried about Muslims who take to heart the Qur’anic commandments to wage war against the Infidels until the whole world submits to Islam? Or is he only concerned about the feeling of rejection — “we don’t want you here” — that must surely wound the feelings of young Muslims in Germany? Ought he not discuss with his students some of the reasons Germans might remain wary of Muslims? Could the German wariness about Muslims have anything to do with the Muslim terrorist attacks all over Europe, in Madrid, Barcelona, Paris (many times), Nice, Toulouse, Magnanville, Amsterdam, Brussels, London (many times), Manchester, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich,Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Malmo, Turku, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Beslan?
Is the anxiety among Germans about Muslims and Islam not well-founded? Shouldn’t he be describing to his students the deep impression the sexual attacks on 1,400 women by 2,000 Muslim predators in Cologne on New Year’s Eve 2015 made on Germans? And how should Germans have reacted to the reports of Muslim grooming gangs in nearly thirty cities in the United Kingdom, and of those tens of thousands of young English girls whom they preyed on, often engaging in mass rape?
I doubt that any of this intolerable behavior by Muslims forms part of Seddiqzai’s classroom discussion. The suspicion and fear of Muslims felt by many Germans is not a manifestation of islamophobia, but a result of the behavior of too many Muslims to ignore or discount.
“They are not accepted in Germany, they are not accepted in the countries of their parents, and that produces this craving for a group to belong to,” he [Professor Behr] continued. “And then an Islamist comes to you and says, ‘Yeah, you don’t belong to anyone. Therefore just be Muslim.’ They offer them a third way.”
Seddiqzai sees it as part of his job to make his students more informed in their consumption of such appeals.
If Mansur Seddiqzai wants to make his students “more informed” so that they will not heed the siren-song of “Islamists,” he ought to confront head on, rather than pass over in silence, the most violent and aggressive teachings of Islam. He can explain to students that the “extremists” who take these teachings to heart will, when they inveigle potential recruits into joining them, initially provide a “sanitized” version of Islam, but eventually reveal, and promote, those same violent teachings.
Earlier this year, when local politicians were discussing a ban on headscarves, a group calling itself Reality Islam launched a social media campaign to protest the proposal and recruit students. Seddiqzai showed his students how to trace Reality’s Islam’s links to Hizb ut-Tahrir, an extremist group banned in Germany since 2003. He also encouraged them to question the group’s stance on the headscarf, which it claimed the Koran mandates for women.
“I show them the Koranic verses about the headscarf, and we discuss it and we see there is no clear rule that a woman or girl has to wear a headscarf,” he said. “Most of them think the Koran itself has no contradictions, and even that is wrong. There are many contradictions in the Koran.”
Seddiqzai did — helpfully — show his students how Muslim extremists who have been banned from Germany use front groups as, in this case, Hizb-ut-Tahrir exploited Reality Islam’s campaign against banning the hijab. He further explained that the wearing of the hijab is not mandated in the Qur’an, and wanted his students to recognize that the Qur’an contains many contradictions. That is an important admission. But does he then go on to discuss how those contradictions are resolved, through the doctrine of naskh, or abrogation? He does not. Nor does he appear to tell his students that whenever there is a contradiction between two verses in the Qur’an, it is the earlier, milder, so-called Medinan verses, which are held to have been abrogated by the later, harsher, Meccan verses.

IF IT WERE A TRUE STUDY OF ISLAM. I WOULD SAY IT IS AN EXCELLENT IDEA
Walter Sieruk says
All informed and knowledgeable readers of this site well understand the violent and deadly essence of Islam in spite of the striving of the many apologists and propagandists for Islam to hide and set up some kind of smokescreen the cover-up the reality about this religion for many naive and uninformed Westerners . The brutal cruel , vicious violence of this murderous type of as been termed the “militant jihad.” Another type of jihad is termed “stealth jihad” as the Muslim teacher, Mausur Seddigai in a city of Germany teaches his Muslim student that its a good idea to present a “sanitized version of Islam” to other people . First its called be sociologists “Impression management ‘ to protect sh image o Islam and thus further advancement of Islam for power with its Sharia law in Germany as well as the whole of the continent of Europe.
One of the main goals of many jihad –minded Muslims is the Islamic conquest of the nations of Europe. One of the methods of achieving Muslin object by not necessary by the means of the violent and deadly “militant” jihad but by the subtle, sly, subversive and insidious way of engaging in that which is known as the stealth jihad. This type of jihad for the advancement and control of Islam in the European countries is to infiltrate into, as in gain, access to, the governmental institutions of the nations of Europe .
This is a large and great part of the grand scheme of stealth jihadist agenda to enhance and gain strong and then stronger influence and then supreme control of Islam over the whole continent of Europe. As on scholar on Islam and the Muslim zeal -filled intentions for Islam had revealed that “Of all the continents of the World, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategists who are seeking world dominance…” [1] of course ,this author means “world dominance. , Not for those specific Muslim themselves but “world dominance for Islam.” Likewise, another scholar r and expert on this subject wrote exposed that “Since the stealth jihad is more advance in Europe then in the United States, the situation there is more dire….Muslims are accomplishing today what they have tried but failed to do for over a millennium : conquer Europe.” [2] Most intelligent people will well understand that “As Europe goes ,so will in time, go North America.
Further, about this Muslim scheme of the stealth jihad otherwise called the Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism to enact Sharia law in many different countries of Europe is in contrast to the way of the violent jihad or also called the militant jihad .This non-violent form of the jihad for Islam is a very sly, insidious, subtle and deceptive way of working for the advancement of Islam.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
In addition, those scheming stealth jihadist /Muslims who attempt to have Sharia law set up in the countries of Europe do also engage in the doctrine of the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya which is very insidious. Taqyyia is the jihad dogma that deception is a good thing to do as long as it’s done for the advancement of Islam. Nevertheless, the God of the Bible “condemns those who devise wicked schemes…” Proverbs 12:11. [N.I.V.] Likewise, Proverbs 12:20 teaches “Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil.”

+++++++++1 One of the best opines on this site that I have read in some time.
commonsense says
No, Hugh – uncharacteristically for you, you have made a major error. The Meccan verses have been abrogated by later, Medinan verses where there are inconsistencies. You’ve got it backward!
Ginny says
Yes. Makes a big difference.
Richard Steinberg says
Uncharacteristically, Hugh has made a major error. The Meccan verses predate the Medinan verses, and the latter abrogate the former if there are any discrepancies. Hugh has it backward. Sorry.
Hugh Fitzgerald says
Thank you, commonsense and Richard Steinberg. You are both right, of course. I wasn’t watching my fingers as – off on a frolic and detour of their own — they proceeded to confuse the two cities, but I assure you that in my brain they were ordered correctly. No hysteron-proteron there.

Islam wants the Cologne-isation of Germany, because Allah has commanded it in Al Qur’an.
Shan says
Seddiqsai, You have to keep to the German Laws, not your own. Where were you when small German girls were forced to visit a Mosque and pray on moslem mats nose and forehead on the mat? And where were you when your people walked with big banners with written tests: We will conquer your countries and everything you have will be ours and we will get you out or killed, we can rape every non moslem woman.
Have you never heard of beheading, raping, robbing, flogging, stoning, mutilating , , Sharia Laws, marrying little girls beating, all midevil laws of your country.
Don’t play the victim. We are the victims of this awful violent so called religion, inform yourself better and think for yourself. Most people do not seem to be able to fo that. Don’t be a sheep who always follow the leader, no matter what the leader says. Good luck!
