They live in enlightened Germany – and want a Sharia caliphate: In early November, Islamists marched through the city of Essen, waving jihad flags and openly showing their hatred of Jews. And so the question arose: what can Europe do against the Islamists? German Islamism expert Ahmad A. Omerate (39) explains to Blick: Many of the radicals were born here and have been radicalized here. This is where we should start, says the expert. “Just blocking social media accounts would do a lot to ensure that the poison no longer reaches the rooms of children and young people unfiltered.”
Moreover, politicians must understand that they cannot fight Islamism with Islamism. “Organizations such as the Central Council of Muslims in Germany or the Islamic Community of Shia Communities in Germany do not represent the interests of Muslims, but rather themselves and their Islamic agenda.”
What role does immigration play?
The Islamic scholar also makes it clear: some radicals came as migrants or refugees and brought their ideology with them. “During the refugee movement in 2015, people came who represented an anti-Semitic worldview. But waves of immigration were recorded earlier. Each movement conveyed ideologies that were not publicly recognized.”
To stop radicalization, action must also be taken against its figureheads, Omerate continued: “It is not about individual Muslims, but about the influence of the officials. We have to turn off the tap for them.”
