Germany: Muslim Biker Gang Vows to “Protect” Fellow Muslims<\/h3>\n

Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute<\/a> | July 31, 2017<\/p>\n

German Muslims have established a self-styled biker gang \u2014 modelled on the Hells Angels \u2014 aimed at protecting fellow Muslims from the \u201cever-growing hatred of Islam,\u201d according<\/a> to Die Welt<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The emergence of group, which aspires to open chapters in cities and towns across Germany, has alarmed German authorities, who have warned against the growing threat of vigilantism in the country.<\/p>\n

Muslim vigilantes enforcing Islamic justice have become increasingly common in Germany. The government\u2019s inability or unwillingness to stop them has led to the rise of anti-Muslim counter-vigilantes. Germany\u2019s BfV intelligence agency, in its latest annual report, warned<\/a> that an escalating action-reaction cycle could result in open warfare on German streets.<\/p>\n

The gang, which calls itself \u201cGermanys Muslims<\/a>\u201d (the possessive apostrophe is not used in German), is based in M\u00f6nchengladbach and now has offshoots in M\u00fcnster<\/a> and Stuttgart<\/a>. It was founded by Marcel Kunst, a German convert to Islam who also uses the name Mahmud Salam.<\/p>\n
