The strategy paper, entitled Preserving Free Society, Promoting Social Cohesion, Fighting Political Islamism, “asserts that a growing number of areas in Germany, where Sharia law overrules German law, are in danger of becoming ‘parallel societies.'”
Yet despite the problem of Islamization, Angela Merkel’s party has advised other EU countries that are facing an unsustainable problem with illegal Muslim migrants to build more migrant centers to house illegal economic Muslim migrants. Western countries need stringent border controls. Open-door immigration serves as an open door invitation to jihadists.
Oddly, Merkel has admitted that “no-go areas” do exist in Germany, adding that the arrival of “so many refugees” in Germany “has raised multiple questions.” She admitted that the surge in violent antisemitism is “coming from refugees or people of Arab origin.”
The Merkel government’s contradictions are baffling. Unless the government wakes up and focuses on the reality of the hijrah, any efforts to implement an expensive “strategy paper” are in vain. Protecting the borders as a first step will help, however, along with further strategies, which should include the deportation of convicted migrant criminals and terrorists.
“German Government Raises the Spectre of Political Islamism,” Kashmir Observer, May 31, 2021:
IN the backdrop of the increasing Islamophobia across the world, Germany’s leading political party seems to have taken a right step towards analysing the problem and its offshoots.
The ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU), having occupied the chancellor’s office for 57 of the 72 years of the Federal Republic of Germany’s existence, and part of the largest parliamentary group in the German Bundestag, and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), has approved a wide-ranging strategy paper to contain the spread of political Islam in Germany.
The strategy paper, “Preserving Free Society, Promoting Social Cohesion, Fighting Political Islamism,” asserts that a growing number of areas in Germany, where Sharia law overrules German law, are in danger of becoming “parallel societies.”
The paper also warns that certain foreign governments control many mosques and Islamic associations in Germany, which threaten Germany’s liberal democratic order.
The authors of the paper argue that a recent wave of “jihadist” attacks in Germany and elsewhere in Europe require urgent measures to stop the “poison” of extremist ideology from gaining further ground on the continent.
The New Strategy
The paper, which whole-heartedly commends law-abiding Muslims who respect Germany’s democratic order, argues that the debate about Islamism in Germany is often reduced to violence and terror, but that it is necessary to focus more on ideology.
The proposals include improving research and analysis of political Islam in Europe and the methods by which it spreads; banning the foreign funding of mosques; and reducing the number of foreign imams active in Germany.
Arguably the most important proposal involves reversing the German government’s long-standing policy of supporting extremist groups in Germany, which, under the guise of promoting dialogue, has legitimised those groups and fuelled the spread of political Islam in Germany.
The paper says, “Focusing only on the violent part of Islamism, Islamist terrorism, does not do justice to the overall problem. Islamism — like other extremisms — has an ideological basis and the aim must be to explore this ideological underground.”
Action Plan
The strategy paper offers a Five-Point Action Plan aimed at understanding and fighting political Islam:
First, it calls for supporting basic research on political Islamism in Germany and Europe. This includes: establishing academic chairs to focus on Islamism and its structures, implementing a scientific study to better understand the extent to which political Islamism is influencing children, young people and adolescents.
Secondly, it urges terminating state cooperation and contractual relationships with organisations of political Islamism.
Thirdly, it calls for training Imams in Germany. The proposal calls for providing academic and spiritual training for imams in Germany, while maintaining religious freedom and the separation of state and religious communities.
Fourthly, the paper calls for increased transparency of membership structures and financing flows, including donations, subsidies, contracts and collaborations, to the federal tax office by the mosques functioning in Germany.
Finally, it calls for Preventing radicalisation, through improved cooperation between federal, state and local governments and civil society. Through investigating the risk of radicalisation processes in the penal system in Germany; and expanding information and awareness programs for specialists from the areas of police, justice, school and education, social work, youth welfare and refugee aid, among others.
Mouhanad Khorchide, a Lebanese-Austrian Islamic theologian and sociologist who is a professor of Islamic pedagogy at the University of Münster in Germany, speaking to Soeren Kern of the New York-based Gatestone Institute said that the policy paper reflects a growing awareness of the problem of political Islam in Germany……
PRCS says
“Political Islamism”?
As opposed to regular Islamism?
JANET says
When you come-around and recognize Islam (shariah _ for what it REALLY IS then you can understand the lies are embedded so deeply that you are in line for beheading etc for not being shariah compliant and caving to all the evil that travels with the political ideology of Islam. and you are one of the LOST MASSES that cannot get away from this supreme evil
PRCS says
“a growing number of areas in Germany, where Sharia law overrules German law, are in danger of becoming ‘parallel societies’”
Where ISLAMIC law overrules German law.
Sharia, “the straight path”, is the embodiment of ISLAMIC law.
Can’t fix the problem without first recognizing and understanding it.
gravenimage says
I’m actually glad that this has been correctly identifide as Sharia law, PRCS.
PRCS says
Is that how Robert Spencer describes it?
gravenimage says
PRCS, here are some recent articles here:
“Sharia advances in Turkey as government increases restrictions on alcohol”
“Tim Kaine compares the Catholic Church’s teaching on abortion to Sharia”
“Sharia UK: School apologizes, launches inquiry after Muhammad image ‘mistakenly’ shown during assembly”
“UK: Muslims tell shop not to sell alcohol, it’s against Sharia, Muslim Councillor says shouldn’t get alcohol license”
These are all articles written by Robert Spencer himself.
In fact, there is a whole category of stories here on Sharia:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/category/sharia
(Note that my calling it “Shari’ah law” is just a small spelling variant).
Really, Islamic law and Shari’ah law are one and the same. Some prefer using the Islamic term “Shari’ah”, and some do not. Apart from that, there is actually no difference.
PRCS says
“Sharia advances in Turkey as government increases restrictions on alcohol”
“Tim Kaine compares the Catholic Church’s teaching on abortion to Sharia”
“Sharia UK: School apologizes, launches inquiry after Muhammad image ‘mistakenly’ shown during assembly”
“UK: Muslims tell shop not to sell alcohol, it’s against Sharia, Muslim Councillor says shouldn’t get alcohol license”
Sharia is defined and controlled by Islamic law.
gravenimage says
PRCS, Sharia and Islamic law are one and the same. I’m not sure what point you are trying to make here.
And Robert Spencer certainly does use the term Sharia, and Sharia law. He also uses the term Islamic law, and used the phrase in the title of one of his books:
“The Myth of Islamic Tolerance: How Islamic Law Treats Non-Muslims”
PRCS says
“I’m not sure what point you are trying to make here.”
Sharia (the path, the straight path, the path to water) is compliance with Islamic law.
It is Islam’s version of the Yellow Brick Road.
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a post by Spencer in which he personally uses the term “sharia law”.
Knowledgeable Muslims laugh at those who use that term.
gravenimage says
PRCS, I just listed four articles by Robert Spencer where he uses the term Sharia *right in the title*. (and yes, he writes his own headlines).
The idea that Muslims would laugh at you for using their own term makes no sense–your apparent belief that Muslims do not use the term Sharia is mistaken.
Here are just a handful of cases of Muslims themselves using the term Sharia:
https://www.mpvusa.org/sharia-law
https://ing.org/a-closer-look-at-sharia-in-the-united-states/
https://www.islamicity.org/topics/islamic-law-sharia/
There are, of course, many more. (That many of these Islamic sites lie about the nature of Sharia is, of course, a separate issue–but Muslim do indeed use the term. This term was not invented by Infidels).
I think I will leave this issue here at this point, it that is OK with you.
PRCS says
You’re confusing sharia, and the misnomer Sharia law.
Spencer uses the terms sharia and Islamic law, but not sharia law.
Pretty straightforward.
gravenimage says
PRCS, you are right that the term “Sharia law” is technically redundant–but there are still many in the west who don’t really understand the term, so I find it is less confusing.
Being grammatically correct is very important to me; but reaching as many people as possible is even more so. I hope we can agree to disagree here.
Walter Sieruk says
There is what is known as the Stealth jihad otherwise called the Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism. 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”
Walter Sieruk says
Those scheming stealth jihadist /Muslims who attempt to have Sharia law set up in Germany engage in the doctrines 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.”
JCA Reid says
The strategy to fix the problem must contain….. the Mass Deportations of something like 99.5% of the Muslims OUT of Germany, indeed Europe, back to the Middle East. The most basic & fundamental mistake they’re making is, simply NOT recognizing the basic fact that, Islam IS a vile, Fascistic Political Ideology. This tag of it being a “Religion” is purely cosmetic. Muslims have also tagged onto it being an Abrahamic Religion. Mohammed had no connection whatsover to the family of Abraham & those Jewish bloke.
All the politicians have to do is…. get real, bite the bullet & do what is correct to save their Peoples. A dose of realpolitik & get it into action.

JCA Reid,

Westman says
“All the politicians have to do is…. get real, bite the bullet & do what is correct to save their Peoples.”
Germany won’t be the nation that saves it’s people due to the collective burden still carried from WWII. Any attempt to implement measures to stop Islamism will be criticised as a return to nazi thinking.
Those Germans who participated in WWII are mostly in their graves yet the remaining vestige “guilt” has given the tools to Merkel, a Soviet-influenced person, to effectively ruin the EU with accomodations to a demanding parallel society; a society carrying the intention of conquest.
gravenimage says
Of course, a lot of European countries that never had a Nazi history–that in some cases were even victims of the Nazis–still have similar problems in opposing Jihadists flooding in that Germany does.
Crusades Were Right says
A REAL strategy for Germany regarding the “spread of political Islam”:
Electing an AfD government.
Yogi says
Exactly vote AFD, this is only hope for normal Germany.. Merkel&CO you destroyed whole not only Germany but whole Europe, it’s disgusting.,,
Poor says
In Germany you cannot even name what;s going on as you get censored…by the Germans.
The AfD has been labelled as Nazi and in Germany that label is like a death sentence.

German government approves strategy paper to contain the spread of political Islam in the country
The strategy paper, entitled Preserving Free Society, Promoting Social Cohesion, Fighting Political Islamism, “asserts that a growing number of areas in Germany, where Sharia law overrules German law, are in danger of becoming ‘parallel societies.’”
……………
I suppose we should be glad that such a paper can even get released in today’s Germany–but I doubt that much will be done.
Westman says
Wow! A strategy paper! Just like a scene from “The Life Of Brian”. More plans that will never be implemented. They make plans while Germany is dissolving – not even a finger in the dike.
Poor says
Dear Westman,
Germans need to first make an appointment to draft a plan, then plan, then try to fit in the plan into the small space available in a rule cluttered system, the plan more, then bureucrcacy…And every meeting has to be perfect (heating, coffeee, computer systems, etc, one imperfection can portpone a meeting…set for planning)
German roll like that, they take a lot of time for each step and make sure tha step is perfect and fits perfectly (in theory) in the rule cluttered system…Then the bureaucratic approval takes its time…Then they plan to meet to plan to go for the 2nd step…
Keep in mind they are averse to using technology, so they don;t share “sensitive” (for them almost everything) information via email. They send correspondence via paper letters, in 2021!
I can go on…
So this paper has a long way to go…
Then the cultural set up and Gemran mindset regarding “minorities” needs to be confronted with the theory drafted in this paper.
Germans have a constant gap between theory (laws, rules and mental utopias) and reality (rape, crime, terrorism). Reality goes unadressed as it does not fit the utopia of how the world should be.
Terry Gain says
Islam will continue to conquer the West unless is is recognized as a totalitarian and fascist political ideology – which is intolerable – rather than a religion.
gravenimage says
Actually, Islam was successfully kept at bay for hundreds of years while acknowledging that it is a religion. People used to realize that not all religions are benignant.
Michael Copeland says
Memo to German politicians:
“political IslamIsm” is identical with Islam.
That is what they will find when they have done their “exploring” and research.
Check Burry says
Why they need to research is nuts as the prob is as clear as a boil on the nose. Denmark has moved quite rapidly to pass new laws, which should halt bad stuff happening. See Gatestrone Institute.
Giacomo Latta says
The strategy is a good start because it recognizes a problem that has not been recognized, at least by the CDU, in over a decade. Perhaps if a debate and not a deplatforming takes place soon then participants can start quoting the koran. The transformation of the koran into a document of peace is going to take every creative defence lawyer that Germany can muster.
Poor says
I had the excruciating experience of living and working in Germoney for 15 years…
Germoney is full of rules, laws, regulations aimed to control everyday life of law abiding citizens (migrants in any part of the broad spectrum of the humanitarian status in Grmone can get away with commiting crimes)
Many laws, papers, rules are approved in Grmoney few are applied at this point unless they mean increasing taxes or emergency measures (Covid). Society is already cluttered with rules, even if they try to implemment a new one, there’s very little space to move
There is also the complicated, slow, gruesome bureucracy in Germany…This paper still has some bureaucratic way to go, which with all probability will take more precious time…
Additionaly, even if this paper is approved and implemmented, Grmans no to touch muslims and africans, especially those with humanitarian status. The world is constantly reminding Germans the massive mistake they made in with WWII and that for them is a huge source of guilt which keeps their dominant nature from fully blossom and also from holding accountable the “minorities” who wreak havoc in their own land.
Well known are cases where illegal migrants have raped German women and the perpetator continues to roam free in the country.
Finally, there is the German mindset and cultural aversion for mistakes. Germans rather go through painful lenghts than accepting they make mistakes. Accepting large numbers of muslims has been and is a deep mistake. Let’s also remember that Germany has only a fraction of the illegal migrants that Greece or Italy are forced (by Germany) to accept.
Besides all of the above, there’s an Grman led agenda behind this mass migration which can be seen in houses built for migrants (in Germany where accommodation for Germans and skilled migrant professionals lack, are hard to find and very expensive), advertising (an example of this is that in Germany the models in modern advertising are black and hijab wearing women, not Indians, not Europeans, but African black looking people and hijabis).
Germoney also has been forcing other countries to accept these migrants (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc), bullying with political and economical measures countries who do not want to take these illegal migrants (Poland, Hungary), German ngos picking up themselves illegals in Lybian waters and dropping them in Italy, German police in Greek borders preventing illegals from travelling to Germoney…
Germany has a massive role in all of this and unfortunately is pressuring other European countries to obey…It’s the 3rd time in a century that Grmoney tries to control and destroy Europe, it seems like they finally got it.
Remember, Grmans are perfect and it is always you who was not perfect, organized, xyz enough. You did not measure up. Not them.
Poor says
By the way, in recent years, skilled professionals are leaving Germany.
I’m talking about skilled professionals from overseas that go to work/study in Germany, are leaving instead of staying.
This is not named as it is a blow to German image of perfection.
Many 1st generation Indians who arrived to work in Germany 15-20 years ago are sending their children away to other countries to live. Same with Chinese. Many Polish people who went to Germany for the same reasons 15-20 years ago, are moving back to Poland.
Germany is losing people from demographics who build, contribute and respect and gaining at alarming rates demographics who create poverty and terror wherever they go (muslims and unskilled uneducated africans)
But Germans are perfect, so when you slightly point this out, they shut you down.
gravenimage says
Sorry to hear about your sad experience in Germany, Poor.
Poor says
Mine and that of many skilled professionals.
When I was working there, I met one after another skilled migrant with a lot of frustration and dissapointment about being there.
We al went there because we had a positive image of Germany.
With Germans, anything that means a break of their perfect image is a no go, so people self censor and get used to not mention what’s going on, especially when there’s a chance a German can hear you as they will censor you…It seems Germans haven’t changed
I was able to leave that jail of a country and now feel better and I am in a country which appreciates my brainpower.
Cannot recommend Germany to any skilled professional. To the young ones, go elsewhere, you’ll do better.
OLD GUY says
Well dam somebody in Germany woke up to the muslim/islamic migration invasion that their political leaders allowed to happen. Hope its not to late for the German people.
Andrew Blackadder says
I lived in Germany during the 1970s, when I was in my 20s, and the friends, and lovers, that I had from there now wish nothing more to do with me, cancelled out, because I asked them why, if they are so ashamed of the actions of their Fathers and Grandfathers for what they did during the Nazi area, but now for reasons I seriously dont understand they are now welcoming people of a religion that are known to hate Jewish people as much, if not more so, than the Nazis themselves.
They now call me a racist, a fascist, a bigot, hateful, and of course the all time best label in the entire World, an…. drum roll please….. an islamop… you know… the thing.
it is a very sad situation that I have lost friends of decades who wish to defend a people that follow a religion that wishes to destroy them, and their country, but they just cant seem to see that through their rose covered glasses. Even though there is an islamic prayer on the very highest peak in Germany, outside Garmisch,in Bavaria, on top of the Mountain known as The Zugspitize. Ask any Germany you know if they are aware of this prayer room.
