But local politicians from the ruling Social Democratic Party (SPD)\u2014a party committed to enforcing multiculturalism in Hamburg\u2014have refused to disclose precisely which schools are affected.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for the first time, a confidential report leaked to the German newspaper <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bild.de\/regional\/hamburg\/salafismus\/salafisten-unterwandern-sieben-hamburger-schulen-35831550.bild.html\"><em>Bild<\/em><\/a> identifies seven of the problem schools by name. The schools where Muslim fanatics are \u201cwaging a religious war\u201d against non-Muslim teachers and classmates are located in districts across the city, the document says, but the situation in M\u00fcmmelmannsberg in eastern Hamburg is \u201cparticularly appalling\u201d and \u201cthe focus of an organized strategy\u201d by Islamists to recruit new followers.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers and school administrators say that efforts by Muslim fundamentalists to run the schools \u201caccording to their own rules\u201d have increased in recent months, and speculation is rife that the document was leaked by someone seeking to force city officials into taking more forceful action.<\/p>\n<p>School principals are being pressured, among other demands, into setting up special prayer rooms for Muslim children, who are increasingly gathering for prayers and shouting Islamist slogans on school playgrounds. Girls are requesting exemptions from gym classes and swimming lessons, and are being harassed if they fail to dress according to Islamic norms.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers at the \u00d6jendorf District School and the An der Glinder Au primary school say that some Muslim parents are being asked by other Muslims to ensure their daughters are dressing according to Islamic standards. The pressure to conform to Islamic norms has been \u201cespecially great\u201d at the M\u00fcmmelmannsberg District School, where teachers have observed gender discrimination, coercion on clothing issues and cases of religiously motivated violence.<\/p>\n<p>Muslim students at the Bergedorf District School in southeastern Hamburg frequently provoke \u201caggressive verbal confrontations\u201d that have a clear \u201ca Salafist orientation and influence,\u201d according to the report. Similar incidents have been reported at schools in the Hamm and Stellingen districts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/germany-salafists-hamburg.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5385\" src=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/germany-salafists-hamburg.jpeg\" alt=\"germany salafists hamburg\" width=\"510\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/germany-salafists-hamburg.jpeg 510w, https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/germany-salafists-hamburg-300x218.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The latest allegations mirror those contained in a separate document\u2014entitled \u201cReligiously Colored Conflict Situations in Hamburg Schools\u201d (Religi\u00f6s gef\u00e4rbte Konfliktlagen an Hamburger Schulen) and dated December 2013\u2014that was leaked to a German newspaper in February 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The document was produced by the <a href=\"http:\/\/li.hamburg.de\/\">Landesinstituts f\u00fcr Lehrerbildung<\/a>, an official training institute for teachers. Although Hamburg officials are <a href=\"https:\/\/fragdenstaat.de\/anfrage\/religios-gefarbte-konfliktlagen-an-hamburger-schulen\/\">refusing<\/a> to make the document available to the general public, excerpts of it were published by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mopo.de\/nachrichten\/behoerden-papier-islamisten-unterwandern-schulen,5067140,26230218.html\"><em>Hamburger Morgenpost<\/em><\/a> on February 17.<\/p>\n<p>The document warns that increasing numbers of students in Hamburg are being influenced by Islamist propaganda and are embracing radical Islam and idolizing jihadist fighters in Syria. The report\u2014which is said to paint a frightening picture of what is taking place in schools across the city\u2014says that school principals are alarmed and confused and are seeking help from state authorities.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <em>Hamburger Morgenpost<\/em>, Islamists are pressuring female students to wear headscarves and skip swimming lessons. Teachers are being subjected to religiously motivated threats of violence and constant trouble over \u201ceating, physical education and prayer opportunities in schools,\u201d as well as the content of religious education.<\/p>\n<p>Girls are \u201cnot allowed to dance or play\u201d and are \u201cprohibited from going on school trips.\u201d Teachers have found the notebooks of some students to be filled with \u201cparticularly radical Salafist propaganda.\u201d The report describes the case of an Alevi [a sect within Shia Islam] student who was bullied so much by Sunni classmates that his parents took him out of school.<\/p>\n<p>Radicalized parents are \u201cdemanding prayer opportunities in classrooms,\u201d and youth are \u201corganizing spontaneous group prayers at central locations within schools with the express intention of provoking confrontation.\u201d Efforts to halt such prayers are fruitless because Muslim students say they have a \u201cconstitutional right to religious freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The document says that children from disadvantaged backgrounds are particularly vulnerable to radicalization, and that the war in Syria is fueling religious fervor in schools to such an extent that jihadists are being worshiped as idols. One school says the \u201ctension and concern is palpable,\u201d and has asked German authorities for help.<\/p>\n<p>An article published by another Hamburg newspaper, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abendblatt.de\/hamburg\/article125322059\/Junge-Islamisten-setzen-Schueler-und-Lehrer-unter-Druck.html\"><em>Hamburger Abendblatt<\/em><\/a>, provides an in-depth look at the pressure tactics used by Islamists in Hamburg schools. The article says there are many indications that the problem is much bigger than currently known, partly because many teachers and school administrators are afraid to report incidents of intimidation, harassment, threats and abuse.<\/p>\n<p>At one school, a teacher wanted to organize a parent-teacher conference after he was threatened by radical Muslim students. But two colleagues who were also threatened backed out of the event at the last minute because they were afraid of the students. As a result, disciplinary actions were abandoned. The teacher was also told that the school board\u2019s Violence Prevention Unit was unable to help him. \u201cThe threat potential is large, the system is helpless,\u201d he said. \u201cThere must be clear rules and safeguards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At another school located on the other side of Hamburg, a veteran teacher says that lately he has observed that many of the female students have adopted an Islamic dress code. \u201cTheir behavior has also changed\u201d he says, \u201cand they look similar to \u2018black widows\u2019 [female suicide bombers in the Caucasus].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hamburg authorities\u2014who concluded a \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/3456\/hamburg-muslim-treaty\">historic treaty<\/a>\u201d with the city\u2019s 200,000-strong Muslim community in November 2012\u2014have downplayed the problems, describing them as \u201cisolated incidents.\u201d Hamburg Senator Ties Rabe, who is responsible for the city\u2019s schools, issued a <a href=\"http:\/\/li.hamburg.de\/contentblob\/4273218\/data\/download-2014-02-21-jugendliche-provozieren-an-einigen-schulen-mit-religioesem-extremismus.pdf\">statement<\/a> on February 21 saying that Salafism is not welcome in the classroom and problem students could be expelled from school. But he also put the responsibility on teachers to \u201censure a peaceful coexistence on the school grounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The problems in Hamburg are drawing renewed attention to the alarming growth of Salafism in Germany. Salafists, who trace their roots to Saudi Arabia, openly state that they want to replace democracy in Germany (and the rest of the world) with a Sunni Islamic government based on Sharia law.<\/p>\n<p>According to German intelligence, the number of committed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/4130\/islamization-germany\">Salafists in Germany<\/a> now exceeds 5,500, up from 4,500 in 2012 and 3,800 in 2011. Around 70% are Germans and 30% are non-Germans, coming from a variety of nations including Turkey, Morocco and Bosnia. About a quarter of the Salafists in Germany are Muslim converts.<\/p>\n<p>Although Salafists make up only a fraction of the estimated 4.3 million Muslims in Germany, authorities are concerned that most of those attracted to Salafi ideology are impressionable young Muslims who are especially susceptible to committing suicide attacks in the name of Islam.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/germany-salafists-syria-cologne.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5383\" src=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/germany-salafists-syria-cologne.jpg\" alt=\"germany salafists syria cologne\" width=\"300\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/germany-salafists-syria-cologne.jpg 300w, https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/germany-salafists-syria-cologne-212x300.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Germany has banned several Salafist Muslim groups\u2014\u201cDawaFFM,\u201d \u201cIslamische Audios,\u201d \u201cAn-Nusrah,\u201d \u201cMillatu Ibrahim,\u201d \u201cHizb ut-Tahrir\u201d\u2014that it says wants to \u201coverturn democracy and install a system based on Islamic Sharia law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSalafism \u2026 is incompatible with our free democratic order, former German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich said in March 2013. \u201cThe groups aim to change our society in an aggressive, belligerent way so that democracy would be replaced by a Salafist system, and the rule of law replaced by Sharia law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hans-Georg Maa\u00dfen, the head of Germany\u2019s domestic intelligence agency, the Bundesamt f\u00fcr Verfassungsschutz (BfV), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.focus.de\/politik\/deutschland\/verfassungsschutz-maassen-zahl-der-salafisten-2012-stark-gestiegen_aid_936283.html\">says<\/a> the Salafist threat to Germany is rising and warns that unless the government \u201ctakes decisive action against violent Islamists,\u201d the Salafist groups \u201cwill continue to grow and the threat of violence will increase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A recent expos\u00e9 by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abendblatt.de\/hamburg\/article124054425\/Salafisten-treten-in-Hamburg-immer-staerker-auf.html\"><em>Hamburger Abendblatt<\/em><\/a> shows that Salafism is alive and well in Germany.
