GnuHoonters was established primarily to fight anarchists, Marxist-Leninists and other leftwing extremists in the country.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, some 300 members of GnuHoonters set up another hidden Internet forum called \u201cBecause Germans Still Dare\u201d (<em>Weil Deutsche sich\u2019s noch trauen<\/em>), aimed at developing an action plan to fight the leaders of Germany\u2019s Salafist scene.<\/p>\n<p>After the forum was hacked in early 2014 and its secrets were spilled to the public, the group adopted the name \u201cHooligans against Salafists\u201d and began operating openly. Initially, HoGeSa\u2019s activities were limited to the Internet and social media, through which it developed a considerable following. Its Facebook page, for example, had more than 40,000 followers before it was recently shut down by Facebook censors.<\/p>\n<p>On September 28, 2014, around 300 HoGeSa members <a href=\"http:\/\/www.derwesten.de\/staedte\/dortmund\/neonazis-und-hooligans-demonstrierten-gemeinsam-in-dortmund-id9876650.html\" target=\"_blank\">met<\/a> in person for the first time in Dortmund, a city in the German state of North-Rhine Westphalia that has a large Muslim population. Similar meetings were also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.derwesten.de\/region\/hooligan-anhaenger-hetzen-vor-koeln-demo-gegen-muslime-id9961045.html\" target=\"_blank\">held<\/a> in the cities of Essen, Mannheim und N\u00fcrnberg.<\/p>\n<p>These introductory meetings paved the way for HoGeSa\u2019s first mass gathering, the rally in downtown Cologne on October 26. The organizers of the event were expecting a turnout of around 1,500 hooligans, but more than three times that many people (4,900 by some counts) showed up.<\/p>\n<p>According to some commentators, the mass mobilization was fuelled in part by a growing sense of frustration that the German government is not doing enough to curb the spread of Islam in the country. Others said that protesters were incited by the Salafist\u2019s unceasingly provocative support for the jihadist group, Islamic State.<\/p>\n<p>The rally, which began in front of Cologne\u2019s central train station, was initially peaceful, given that Salafists appeared to give the area a wide berth. But matters turned extremely violent after participants refused to obey police orders to clear the area after the event was over.<\/p>\n<p>More than 1,300 police were called in, many using batons, pepper spray and water cannons against the protesters, who hurled rocks, bottles and firecrackers at them (see video <a href=\"http:\/\/www.focus.de\/politik\/videos\/blutige-krawalle-in-koeln-hooligans-erheben-vorwuerfe-gegen-polizei_id_4245330.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). Nearly 50 officers were injured and 20 protesters were arrested.<\/p>\n<p>The intensity of the violence shocked many Germans and commentators pondered over who these \u201cnew hooligans\u201d are and whether this \u201cunexpected phenomenon\u201d portends serious trouble ahead.<\/p>\n<p>One newspaper <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bild.de\/news\/inland\/hooligan\/dumpf-brutal-geil-auf-gewalt-bild-erklaert-die-neuen-hooligans-38320870.bild.html\" target=\"_blank\">wrote<\/a>: \u201cThe hooligans are more dangerous than ever. They have a new opponent. German security authorities are on high alert! A state security official has warned: \u2018If hooligans actually meet Salafists next time, there will certainly be severe injuries or deaths.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HoGeSa representatives seemed to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faz.net\/aktuell\/sport\/krawalle-in-koeln-hooligans-entschuldigen-sich-ein-bisschen-13244324.html\" target=\"_blank\">apologize<\/a> for the violence in Cologne, saying that \u201cnot everything went according to plan\u201d and that they had learned from their mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, HoGeSa leaders insist that the group is \u201cunpolitical\u201d and not connected to any partisan organization, including Germany\u2019s neo-Nazi movement. \u201cWe stand behind our cause,\u201d one of the event organizers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.derwesten.de\/region\/hooligan-anhaenger-hetzen-vor-koeln-demo-gegen-muslime-id9961045.html\" target=\"_blank\">shouted<\/a> into a megaphone. \u201cWe are not rightwing radicals,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>But large numbers of neo-Nazis are said to have joined the rally, sparking fears that right-wing extremists are seeking to influence and possibly co-opt the hooligan scene, with the aim of leveraging HoGeSa\u2019s mass mobilization potential to its own advantage.<\/p>\n<p>The newspaper <em>Die Zeit<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeit.de\/politik\/deutschland\/2014-10\/hooligans-rechtsextremismus-aufstand\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that senior leaders of the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) participated in the Cologne rally and offered to help \u201cprofessionalize\u201d the HoGeSa movement. \u201cThe starving NPD, which has been in a political free fall for three years now, is apparently on the offensive and wants to join this new extremist trend,\u201d the paper wrote.<\/p>\n<p>A new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polizei-nrw.de\/media\/Dokumente\/Behoerden\/LZPD\/ZIS_Jahresbericht_2013_14.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report<\/a> published by police in North-Rhine Westphalia estimates that there are a total of 13,600 hooligans in all of Germany, but that only 400 (or 3.3%) have ties to the neo-Nazi movement or other rightwing extremist groups.<\/p>\n<p>The president of the German domestic intelligence agency BfV, Hans-Georg Maassen, <a href=\"https:\/\/de.nachrichten.yahoo.com\/aktionen-hooligans-ruft-verfassungsschutz-plan-152104275.html\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> that hooligans have not been subject to state surveillance because, for the most part, they are \u201cpolitically indifferent\u201d and their personal values are limited to \u201cdrinking beer and fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some commentators <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weltwoche.ch\/ausgaben\/2014-45\/aufbegehren-unerwuenscht-die-weltwoche-ausgabe-452014.html\" target=\"_blank\">argue<\/a> that mainstream media outlets are now using the fear of hooligan violence to completely shut down the debate about the rise of Islam in Germany. They are doing so by demonizing any German citizen with legitimate concerns about the spread of Sharia law and the establishment of a parallel Muslim society in the country as \u201cneo-Nazi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weltwoche.ch\/ausgaben\/2014-45\/aufbegehren-unerwuenscht-die-weltwoche-ausgabe-452014.html\" target=\"_blank\">words<\/a> of one such commentator, the guardians of German multiculturalism are protecting the \u201cbeheaders of Christians and mutilators of women\u201d by seeking to silence those who are politically incorrect enough to express outrage at such atrocities.<\/p>\n<p>HoGeSa\u2019s next major rally was set to be held in Berlin on November 15. The event\u2014which was being organized under the motto, \u201cAgainst Salafists, Islamization and Refugee Policy\u201d\u2014was to have been held at the Pariser Platz, a square in the center of Berlin that is situated within walking distance to the seat of the German government.<\/p>\n<p>The rally organizers originally said they were expecting a turnout of 1,000 people, but after police <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rbb-online.de\/politik\/beitrag\/2014\/10\/hooligan-demonstration-berlin-10000-teilnehmer-erwartet.html\" target=\"_blank\">predicted<\/a> that more than 10,000 hooligans would show up, authorities in Berlin cancelled the event. Similar rallies planned for Frankfurt, Hamburg and Hannover have also been banned, although social media chatter <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.zeit.de\/stoerungsmelder\/2014\/11\/07\/jetzt-doch-rechter-aufmarsch-von-hooligans-am-sonntag-in-berlin_17489\" target=\"_blank\">indicates<\/a> that the hooligans plan to proceed anyway.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, HoGeSa appears to be striking fear into the hearts of the Salafists, who are now on the defensive, an accomplishment that has so far eluded German counter-terrorism officials.<\/p>\n<p>Following the violence in Cologne, Pierre Vogel, a notorious convert to Islam who in recent years has emerged as a central figure in Germany\u2019s Salafist scene, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.focus.de\/politik\/deutschland\/spenden-fuer-bodyguards-salafist-pierre-vogel-fuerchtet-sich-vor-den-hooligans_id_4243312.html\" target=\"_blank\">hired<\/a> fulltime bodyguards to protect himself and his family.<\/p>\n<p>German media says Vogel, a former professional boxer who usually depicts himself as the embodiment of an invincible Islam, is now portraying himself as a helpless victim at the hands of football hooligans.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.soerenkern.com\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Soeren Kern<\/em><\/a><em> is a Senior Fellow at the New York-based <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Gatestone Institute<\/em><\/a><em>.
