In a pro- instead of reactive move that many will say was long overdue, if quite ironic considering it was Germany's lax immigration policy for most of 2015 that is the reason for Europe's soaring "radical Islam" crisis, overnight German police and special forces raided a mosque and eight apartments in Hildesheim, said to be a hotbed of a radical Salafist community, the interior minister of the northern state of Lower Saxony said on Thursday.

Interior Minister Boris Pistorius said in a statement that up to 400 police - including mobile squads and a special forces police commando - were involved in the raids on Wednesday in the Hildesheim area, which is a short drive south of Hanover.

The raid came as part of a crackdown on the radical German-speaking Muslim
group DIK, which was branded a 'hot spot of radical Muslims'

Mosque = Muslim Arsenal

[Leaning Right]

So that’s one radical mosque out of commission, for maybe a week. For all the other radical mosques it’ll be Keep Calm and Carry On.

Finally figured out that Merkel is following the same, crazy strategy that Hitler pursued in the final weeks of WW II: "Let the enemy foolishly come into our country, so we can then destroy them here!"

Salafist? Is that what they are calling muslims in Germany now?

[MasterGunner01]

Yes, but Frau Merkel still mouths the Left’s Bravo Sierra about Islam being a Religion of Peace and keeps the floodgates open to Muslim immigrants. What she should do is close all the mosques in Germany and DEPORT the damned Islamic killers. Only take middle east Christians, Jews, and other victims of Muslim atrocities. Get the Muslims out of Europe and back to their dung heaps in the Middle East.

Good start, but not enough.

Translates as: even crazier than the rest.

The Salafists, like the Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia are fundamental Muslims who want Islam practiced the way Muhhamad did, and they don't want it watered down as it is by most so-called Muslim today who are basically heretics.

from the Islamic dictionary.-The principal tenet of Salafism is that the Islam that was preached by Muhammad and practiced by his Companions, as well as the second and third generations succeeding them, was pure, unadulterated, and, therefore, the ultimate authority for the interpretation of the two sources of revelation given to Muhammad, namely the Qur'an and the Sunnah

Why the black face masks?

[Cobra64]

I agree. Hopefully it will set a precedent in Germany and elsewhere.

[Cobra64]

Think.

The helmet face masks might help save their faces from a suicide or other bomb explosion.

[mbarker12474]

This is not the first raid on a mosque by German police. They’ve been finding arms caches.

Think. The helmet face masks might help save their faces from a suicide or other bomb explosion.

More likely it's to keep their identities secret or else the head-choppers will head-chop their families. Thanks Ang-ela!

[minnesota_bound]

They could imprint Angela Merkels face on those face masks : )

[Cobra64]

If that were the case, the would be wearing cloth masks and not $800 Kevlar helmets with ballistic plastic face shields.
