The German government has started to request that those countries register any funding they may provide to mosques in Germany, a report says. The move aims to discourage radicalization in German mosques.
The German Foreign Ministry wants Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and other Gulf states to register any donations or state subsidies intended for mosques in Germany.
According to daily Süddeutsche Zeitung and German broadcasters WDR and NDR, the government has involved both the domestic and foreign intelligence services to monitor who sends the money and who receives it.
The Gulf states are also required to alert German authorities if a religious group from Germany seeks support or advice in their country.
The new practice, which the report says has already been in place since the spring, follows on from Interior Minister Horst Seehofer's comments at Germany's Islam conference in November, where he pledged to reduce "foreign influence" on Germany's mosques.
The report says that cooperation with Kuwait, in particular, on this issue is already bearing fruit. Other states are apparently more hesitant.
Mosque tax floated
One controversial idea that has been floated in the last few weeks is to introduce a mosque tax that similar to the German church tax that members of the Protestant and Catholic churches have to pay would make mosques more financially independent and thus minimize the risk of radicalization fueled by money from rich Muslim-majority states.

A little late. The childless Merkel let in a million Islamists, sealing their future fate to radical Islam. Germany learned nothing from history.
Mosques are a foreign influence.
Indeed, they are totally foreign in Western nations.
Good luck with that...
The problem is the mosques teaching the fundamentals of Islam.
It is Islam itself that is the problem. -Tom
Now you’re going to make all those muzzies you let into your country very, very angry.
the moment a qu’uran is opened the place is radical.
Um...that is NOT "curbing" a damn thing! Requesting they register the funding -- after the fact?
Sounds like Hans Blix's "letter" in "Team America: World Police"
I think we all know how that ended
That’s more than we do in the USA, isn’t it?
Yep. The West is seeded with these barbarian colonies. Far too late.
