“RADICAL SALAFISTS ON THE RISE IN GERMANY”
(March 11, 2012)
SNIPPET: “Political Salafism is considered a breeding ground for radicalizing young Muslims and recent developments show that religiously motivated extremism remains a source of danger and concern.
“We are worried that known Salafists are traveling across Germany,” says Mathilde Koller, head of the domestic intelligence agency in Germany’s state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Teenagers and young people, she says, are the main targets as they are easily susceptible to radical teachings suggesting simple solutions for life.
Pioneer of Internet jihad
One of the authorities’ main concerns is the Austrian Mohammed Mahmoud who in 2011 moved to Germany. He first was active in Berlin and then moved on to a mosque in Solingen, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia. Currently, the 26-year-old who calls himself Abu Usama al-Gharib is registered in Frankfurt.
In 2008, Mahmoud was convicted on charges of organizing and helping a terrorist organization. Since his release from prison in Austria, he has been holding seminars on Islam across Germany and uses the Internet to promote Salafist teachings. Mahmoud is considered a pioneer in Internet jihad, and is believed to also be behind the production of videos spreading hatred and threatening violence.”
