German secret service goes after AfD and Friends of Israel over comments about hate preaching in mosques

Feb 1, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Thomas Haldenwang replaced the former head of the German Secret Service Georg Maassen, who was forced out in November. Maassen had refused to put the the Alternative for Germany (AfD) under surveillance, but under Haldenwang, the German Secret Service is now actually considering putting AfD under surveillance. The reason, according to the co-chair of the AfD faction in the German Bundestag, Beatrix von Storch, is accusations of “anti-democratic behavior.”

These accusations were completely unfounded; they stem from a “quote in which she said ‘Hate is preached in mosques against our system of government, against Jews and Christians. Mosques need to be observed by the Secret Service.‘”

Von Storch argues that she was “appealing to the Secret Service to do something about anti-democratic sermons and calls to hate against Christians and Jews in mosques,” but instead, her concerns were (as usual) turned around on her, and now she is the one being called “undemocratic.”

Yet von Storch, who is also co-founder of the Friends of Judea and Samaria in the EU Parliament, is correct. Muslims should not be using mosques to engage in political warfare against Jews, Christians and democratic governments, but they do. And instead of focusing on protecting Germany and democratic values, the Secret Police under Haldenwang has shifted Germany’s priorities to align with Sharia. Haldenwang’s force is now, like many others, acting as Sharia police.

A journalist from the not very AfD-friendly pubweb WDR wrote that preaching hate against Jews and Christians is very common in mosques…Jews in Germany are suffering more and more attacks by Muslims” and are “scared to wear their yarmulkes in public.

The Independent reported in mid-January that Germany’s secret service was going to investigate whether the AfD party was becoming “too extreme,” but the service remains flaccid on Islamic “extremism” (jihad).

“Gestapo Methods: German Secret Police Goes after Friends of Israel,” Voice of Europe, January 29, 2019:

The co-chair of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) faction in the German Bundestag Beatrix von Storch has charged the incoming head of the German Federal Secret Service Thomas Haldenwang with ignoring radical Islamism and Anti-Semitism and attacking the AfD for criticizing them instead.

Haldenwang replaced the former head of the German Secret Service Georg Maassen, who had refused to put the AfD under surveillance and criticized Angela Merkel for claiming there were Nazi “manhunts” in the town of Chemnitz in August, for which no evidence exists.

After Maassen was forced out in November, his successor Thomas Haldenwang recently took the unusual step of announcing the German Secret Service would “examine” whether to put the largest German opposition party under surveillance for alleged unconstitutional activities.

Speaking on Russia Today, AfD spokesman on the Foreign Policy Commitee Petr Bystron said, “we would support the work of the Secret Service if it were to do its job in secret, as its name says. But what we are seeing is the total opposite: They are announcing that they are thinking of putting us under surveillance. Dr. Maassen had to go because he refused to do this, and said there were no reasons to put the AfD under surveillance.”

The German Secret Service (Verfassungsschutz) has so far refused to release its report justifying its announcement, which has instead been leaked to several left-wing media outlets such as the Süddeutsche Zeitung and the Tagesspiegel.

Referring to the reporting in the Tagesspiegel, AfD Bundestag faction co-chair Beatrix von Storch charged Secret Service head Haldenwang with protecting radical Islamists and Anti-Semites while attacking the AfD for political reasons.

The reason given for charging Von Storch with anti-democratic behavior was a quote in which she said “Hate is preached in mosques against our system of government, against Jews and Christians. Mosques need to be observed by the Secret Service”, according to the Tagesspiegel. Von Storch was referring to an exposé on Muslim hate preachers published by pubweb journalist Constantin Schreiber in the book “Inside Islam”, she says…..

    “..between us and you enmity and hatred forever…” is from Koran 60:4, part of Islamic law, and quotable in any sermon.
    Can it be clearer than that?

    I’m not sure how Jihad Watch has missed this, but it is also noteworthy that Germany has somehow elevated a Turkish-born migrant to the vice president position of its domestic intelligence agency. Yes, the same agency currently spending its resources on the opponents of jihad.

    A study several years ago, revealed that in the U.S. 80%, at least, of all the moslim barracks preach jihad violence and hatred. The barracks of moslims are no different the world over…they are places where moslims hear the preaching of hatred of Jews and Christians and what islam says about what is to be done regarding these opponents of islam. Week after week, moslims are told just what they should feel and do regarding Jews and Christians, and are given the idea that they are in the right, and have the right to kill.

    This is much like what happened during the time of hitler…Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and other people who told the truth, or tried to find out the truth, were hunted, rounded up, taken to camps and killed. moslims were very much involved in those things; the grand mufti of Jerusalem being a major participant in the crimes against, and the death of, Jews and others who opposed hitler and his henchmen.

    History is being repeated. evil is ascending, everywhere. In Germany, again, the government is very much involved.

      somehistory,

      “The devil’s time is short. Things will get worse before that demon is defeated and removed. And then, everything, everywhere, will get so much better.”

      I certainly hope beyond hope that you are correct. I’m just not certain that the West – in this point in history – has the collective will to get this done.

      It is possible that World War II would have turned out differently if the Allies in the 1930s and 1940s had had today’s mindset of the far left: multiculturalism, globalism, political correctness, loss of Judeo-Christian values, etc.

      • somehistory says

        James Lincoln,

        In the Bible, it is made clear that at times, our Creator uses men, nations, man-made governments, etc., to carry out His Will. One verse in Revelation 17 even says that, “For God has put into their hearts to carry out His purpose by making a decision to carry out their thought, to give their power…” This agrees with Daniel, who wrote, “God is setting up kings, and taking down kings.” (see also Psalm 75)

        It seems He did this in the time of hitler…causing the nations to defeat the dictator before he could finish his plan for world rule, before he could completely eliminate those who opposed the evil plan. God can do this again if that is the way He wishes. However, it may also be time for Christ to return and do away with the devil and demonic evil completely.

        Jesus said it would happen in time so that some “flesh would be saved.” But at a time when the question would be, “Will He really find the faith on the earth.”.

        We have reason for hope of better things to come.

          somehistory,

          As a devout Christian, I pray daily for the end of Islam.

          It would help current Muslims as much – or more – as it would the unbelievers.

          Thanks for the inspiration, the ballgame is not yet over.

    Is this statement true? Quote: “‘Hate is preached in mosques against our system of government, against Jews and Christians. Mosques need to be observed by the Secret Service.‘”

    Yes, it is true according to Islam’s top authorities. Islam has an ‘essential’ teaching of hate called ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA”.

    -Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

    -“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca. – https://islamfuture.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/al-wala-wal-bara-according-to-the-aqeedah-of-the-salaf-parts-123/

    -Shaykh Ahmad ibn ‘Atiq said:
    “There isn’t in the Book of Allah the Exalted – after the issue concerning the obligation of tawheed and the forbiddance of its opposite (kufr=wrong belief)- any issue which has as so many proofs, nor so clearly explained, than the issue of al-walaa’ and al-baraa’.” (W-B is ‘Islamic apartheid’)

    – Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtaani said: “Thus, it is clear that Al-Wala’ Wal-Bara calls on Muslims to “love” their fellow Muslims and hate the non-Muslim (or Kafir).”

    – from Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in INSULTING kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to HUMILIATE them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain TERRIFIED and TREMBLING. It is intended to hold them under CONTEMPT and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”

    – from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”

    – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”

    – from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to SHOW ENMITY to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
    (Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their ENMITY or HATRED towards the kufaar)

    – from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.”
    (Note: not ‘if the time comes’, but ‘WHEN the time comes.)

    – “Killing a Kafir who is fighting you is OK. Killing a Kafir for any reason (i.e. criticism of Islam), you can say, it is OK – even if there is NO REASON for it. You can poison, ambush and kill non-believers. You must have a stand with your heart, with your tongue, with your money, with your hand, with your sword, with your Kalashnikov. Don’t ask shall I do this, just do it.”Abu Hamza al-Masri (Egyptian born British Cleric)

    – “As a Muslim, I must have hatred for anything non-Islam” – Anjem Choudary.

    love what allah loves. hate what allah hates. simple code; any illiterate can understand it – especially as he/she trusts their teacher down at the mosque (and the umma, as it listens to the teachers, too)

    This illustrates very well the re-rise of fascism in alliance with Islam in Germany. As the co-chair of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the German Bundestag, Beatrix von Storch has stated, the incoming head of the German Federal Secret Service Thomas Haldenwang ignores radical Islam and its Anti-Semitism and attacks AfD for criticizing Islam.

    Haldenwang replaced Georg Maassen as the head of the German Secret Service, which is now modelling itself on the Stasi,. George Maassen had refused to put the AfD under surveillance and criticized Angela Merkel for saying, with no evidence, that there were Nazi “manhunts” in Chemnitz in August.

    Maassen was forced out in November and his successor Thomas Haldenwang took the unusual step of announcing the German Secret Service would “examine” putting the largest German opposition party under surveillance for alleged unconstitutional activities.

    Hitler himself admired the Muslims and would have approved of these political tactics by Merkel and Haldenwang. This is how Hitler came to and held power in the Third Reich.

      Across Europe it seems a recurring theme is the press erring on the side of the Muslims, and whistleblowers paying dearly at the hands of their own governments.
      Small wonder that something like the ‘yellow vest’ movement takes on a life of it’s own. Even when the press refuses to report on it, people know when they’re getting screwed.

    Haldenwang is ignoring radical Islamism and Anti-Semitism and attacking the AfD because Merkel’s socialist party, Muslim apologist and closet anti-Semitism feels threaten by the only party that is centre- right in Germany. It amuses me when the German press refers to Markel’s party as Conservative and the AfD as extreme right. Just a decade ago, those of us that are opposed to open borders and prefer capitalism to socialism, were considered centre-right but now the fake press call us extreme right.

    This Government interference / control is just starting in Canada under Trudeau. Search M-103 to see how he and Islam are trying to ban free speech. He recently gained control of the Canadian media with a $600 million bribe which the majors have obediently accepted.
