German authorities raid mosques and flats, ban Islamist group | Reuters


Police launched dawn raids on about 190 mosques, flats and offices linked to an Islamist group in Germany on Tuesday as the government banned the organization, accusing it of radicalising youngsters, the interior ministry said.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the DWR 'True Religion' organization had contacted young people as it distributed Korans and other religious material, and had persuaded about 140 of them to join militants in Iraq and Syria.

Today's ban is not directed against the distribution of the Koran or translations of the Koran," de Maiziere told reporters.

"Today's ban is rather directed against the abuse of religion by people propagating extremist ideologies and supporting terrorist organizations under the pretext of Islam." The group had several hundred members, he added.

Indeed.

And if they hadn't been dragging their feet as they did, this would have happened far earlier, as it should have.

Suggest you read the blog entries of the thread starter :roll:
 
Up to 900 people are estimated to have joined IS in Syria or Iraq via Germany.

That's one way of returning refugees to their homeland.

(DWR), for the past 10 years, have been distributing millions of free copies of the Koran in city centres.

That of course was not the problem. The interior minister was clear this morning that Islam has a strong place in German society. And Germany's civil liberty laws mean that its rare, and difficult, to ban organisations that appear to be religious.

So radical Muslims were passing out free copies of the Koran, and pretending to be peaceable citizens. Shocking! Luckily we have the interior minister's statement that "Islam has a strong place in Germany", otherwise one might think that Islam and its followers have NO place in Germany and are only going to be a divisively violent force in the coming decades.

Unfortunately DWR's UK offshoot can still peddle it's hate in the UK.

However my view remains we should encourage these people to leave - soon there will be no Caliphate for them to go to and they will be left here to cause trouble on our shores.

That's one of the problems that, by all accounts, Germany faces.

"Where to deport them to".

If they have German citizenship anyway (often in 2nd or 3rd generation and no other citizenship), only course left open is to sling them in jail.

But beyond that, it even gets difficult to throw those out that didn't even gain asylum status and have no chance of so doing.

Because countries like Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria won't take them back and simply setting them adrift in a dinghy on the Med. is considered unpalatable.

Germany has been exerting (economic) pressure on those states to be more cooperative and there's been some level of accord achieved. But that pertains to "illegals" in general, where revealed terrorism or other criminality is established, it's basically a lip service thing.

Because those states want such people as little as Germany (or any other European nation) does.

Oh I got that part but I was referring to those wishing to leave. Anjem Choudary reportedly said he wished to leave the UK but that the UK Govt had his passport. He's been a thorn in our sides for many years - and looking at the troubles caused in prisons now by short staffing - a one way ticket would have caused us less trouble and given us better chance of target practice with our drone technology.

Agreed, Choudary was a prime example for building "bridges of silver".

Military pragmatism, I guess.

Put a stranglehold on an enemy almost defeated (aka pushed into a corner with no avenue of retreat and thus having nothing to lose anymore) and you're going to pay a heavy price, even if you finally destroy him altogether.
