The Caliphate would be governed exclusively by Islamic Sharia law, which would apply both to Muslims and to non-Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>Among other anti-Western doctrines, Salafists believe that democracy must be destroyed because it is a man-made form of government.<\/p>\n<p>Although Germany\u2019s domestic intelligence agency, the Bundesamt f\u00fcr Verfassungsschutz (BfV), regards the Salafist groups as a threat to German security, Salafists have free reign in the country and Salafist preachers are known to regularly preach hatred against the West in mosques and prayer centers that are proliferating across Germany.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign to place a Koran in every German household is being spearheaded by a Rheinland-based Salafist named Ibrahim Abou-Nagie, a Palestinian preacher of hate, who leads a radical Islamic group called \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/diewahrereligion.de\/jwplayer\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">The True Religion<\/a>\u201d (Die Wahre Religion).<\/p>\n<p>In September 2011, German public prosecutors launched an investigation into Abou-Nagie after he <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bild.de\/regional\/koeln\/islamismus\/so-gefaehrlich-ist-der-koelner-hass-prediger-wirklich-19926430.bild.html\" target=\"_blank\">called for violence against non-believers<\/a> in videos posted on the Internet. In his sermons, Abou-Nagie glamorizes Islamic martyrdom and says that Islamic Sharia law is above the German Constitution. He believes that music should be prohibited, that homosexuals should be executed, and that adulterers should be stoned.<\/p>\n<p>Abou-Nagie has tens of thousands of followers across Germany. Among them are two <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/uk\/2011\/jul\/26\/two-german-men-terrorism-act\" target=\"_blank\">German Muslim converts-turned-terror suspects<\/a> who were trained by Abou-Nagie and who were recently arrested in Dover, England after British border police searched their luggage and found a document titled \u201cHow to Build a Bomb in Your Mom\u2019s Kitchen,\u201d an article from the English-language online magazine \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Inspire_%28magazine%29\" target=\"_blank\">Inspire<\/a>\u201d produced by Al-Qaida in Yemen.<\/p>\n<p>In one <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=swgTu8H9Jic\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a>, Abou-Nagie tells his audience that \u201cwhoever follows the Christian Bible or the Jewish Torah instead of the Islamic Koran will go to Hell for eternity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Abou-Nagie sees it as his calling to save the German people from the wrath of Allah by converting them to Islam. To achieve this aim, Abou-Nagie founded Project \u201cRead!\u201d in to distribute tens of millions of copies of the Koran throughout Germany.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign is now well under way. More than 100 Salafist \u201cinformation booths\u201d have already been set up in dozens of German cities, particularly in the regions of North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Hessen and Hamburg.<\/p>\n<p>Abou-Nagie\u2019s approach is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rOOG5JO0GwU&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\">simple and effective<\/a>: German Muslims are encouraged to purchase a copy of the Koran (red cover) in order to fund the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JebqMg84DxU&amp;feature=relmfu\" target=\"_blank\">free distribution<\/a> of additional copies of the Koran (blue cover). In addition to the public distribution of the Koran on the streets and market places, non-Muslims can order a free copy of the Koran on an Internet website called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hausdesqurans.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">hausdesqurans.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Abou-Nagie, Salafists have already distributed more than 300,000 German translations of the Koran, and a fifth print run consisting of tens of thousands of additional copies has already been ordered from the printing plant, which is located in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg.<\/p>\n<p>During the extended Christian Easter weekend from April 5-9, Project \u201cRead!\u201d entered into a new phase. According to the Berlin-based newspaper <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welt.de\/print\/die_welt\/article106165597\/Salafisten-verteilen-25-Millionen-Korane.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Die Welt<\/em><\/a>, the Salafists launched a \u201cfrontal assault\u201d against people of other faiths and unbelievers. On April 7, for example, Project \u201cRead!\u201d organized a nationwide campaign to distribute the Koran in 35 German cities, including Berlin, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zk4qcdbYmPo&amp;feature=relmfu\" target=\"_blank\">Cologne<\/a>, Dresden, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jZrFCtNd31o&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\">Frankfurt<\/a>, Hamburg, Hanover, Heidelberg, Konstanz, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v_dIbwJK5e0&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\">Munich<\/a> and Osnabr\u00fcck.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>Die Welt<\/em>, German authorities view the Koran project as a \u201cmost worrisome\u201d campaign for radical Islam which fundamentalists are using a recruiting tool. Security analysts say the campaign is also a public-relations gimmick intended to persuade Germans that the Salafists are transparent and \u201ccitizen friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to improve their image, the Salafists have removed from their \u201cinformation booths\u201d all literature about the role of women in Islam or the supremacy of Islamic Sharia law over democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the German translation of the Koran has edited out many of the verses which call on Muslims to make war on non-believers. According to BfV, the German domestic intelligence agency, the German version of the Koran is \u201crather non-controversial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, German authorities say that Project \u201cRead!\u201d is being organized by Islamist networks that hold an extremist world view and a militant ideology.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Berlin branch of the BfV told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welt.de\/print\/die_welt\/article106165597\/Salafisten-verteilen-25-Millionen-Korane.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Die Welt<\/em><\/a> that \u201cthe objective of this campaign is to help bring those who are interested into contact with the Salafist scene in order to influence them in the context of their extremist political ideologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although not everyone who takes a Koran into their home will convert to Islam, nevertheless, German authorities say Abou-Nagie\u2019s Project \u201cRead!\u201d is a establishing a breeding ground for anti-constitutional ideas.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the number of Islamic radicals in Germany is surging.<\/p>\n<p>According to the BfV, there are an estimated 29 Islamist groups in Germany with 34,720 members or supporters who pose a major threat to homeland security. Many of them want to establish a \u201cKoran-state\u201d in Germany because they believe Islamic Sharia law is a divine ordinance that is to replace all other legal systems.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the German Police Union (DPolG), Rainer Wendt, has told the Hamburg-based <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bild.de\/politik\/inland\/terrorismus\/1000-schlaefer-in-deutschland-wo-verstecken-sich-die-terroristen-19771886.bild.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bild newspaper<\/a> that he is concerned about the presence of clandestine Islamic sleeper cells made up of Muslim immigrants and converts in Germany. He has called for the recruitment of undercover agents to infiltrate the Islamic environment. It is the \u201conly way to monitor the scene,\u201d Wendt said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRadical Islamists live everywhere and nowhere in Germany. One cannot rule out that that nice young man from next door, who brings grandma her fresh bread every morning, is not in fact an Islamic sleeper and terrorist,\u201d Wendt warned.<\/p>\n<p>The BfV is particularly concerned about Muslim youth who are prone to \u201crapid radicalization patterns,\u201d and who possess a \u201chigh willingness to use force\u201d and \u201cto attack.\u201d Some of them are under surveillance by the security authorities, according to Wendt.<\/p>\n<p>The BfV is also monitoring a surge in online Islamist propaganda, much of which warns Muslims that they are not to integrate into German society. With an estimated 4.3 million Muslims, Germany has Western Europe\u2019s second-biggest Islamic population after France.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the Islamists are Germans who recently converted to Islam. This would include former boxer <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pierre_Vogel\" target=\"_blank\">Pierre Vogel<\/a>, who converted to Islam and studied in Saudi Arabia. He is now an Islamic preacher who rails against Muslim integration into German society.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the German converts to Islam are socially disaffected drop-outs from school and\/or ex-convicts, and radical Islam is giving them respectability, according to German security services.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the home-grown Muslim radicals are being alienated from German society by means of Sharia law, which is now <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/2397\/islamic-sharia-law-germany\" target=\"_blank\">competing with the German criminal justice system<\/a> in all major cities in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Settlements reached by the Muslim mediators often mean perpetrators are able to avoid long prison sentences, while victims receive large sums in compensation or have their debts cancelled, in line with Sharia law. This is fomenting distrust for the established legal system, analysts say.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kirsten Heisig, the author of a book titled \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/Das-Ende-Geduld-jugendliche-Gewaltt%C3%A4ter\/dp\/3451302047\" target=\"_blank\">The End of Patience<\/a>\u201d: In Germany \u201cthe law is slipping out of our hands. It is moving to the streets or into a parallel system where an imam or another representative of the Koran determines what must be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SoerenKern.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.soerenkern.com\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Soeren Kern<\/em><\/a><em> is Senior Fellow for European Politics at the Madrid-based Grupo de Estudios Estrat\u00e9gicos \/ Strategic Studies Group.
