What this man says seems vaguely familiar. Something similar to what is preached in a downtown, mainstream, Toronto mosque…
One might almost think that there was some common philosophy or directions at work.

Islamic beachhead burns down in Texas
Typically these are set by muslims for any number of a variety of reasons. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was done to create anti-Trump sentiment. But its also perhaps an actual pushback against Islamic doctrine in the US by freedom loving patriots. The good thing is, if you read the media unafraid of the facts we will find out sooner or later most likely.

Student refuses mosque visit: 300 Euro penalty
A original translation by Nash Montana with much thanks!
From this German website: OE24
Parents are lodging an appeal. But still a 300 Euro penalty is looming and a forced visit to a mosque
According to the syllabus-topic “The Orient – power factor water and crude oil”, a school class in the German Rendsburg was scheduled to visit a mosquee. But one 13 year old student did not want to participate, as the online portal “mmnews.de” reports. The parents were seeking dialogue with the school after the announcement of the field trip destination.
Since they aren’t members of any denomination or faith community, they were of the opinion that no one can be forced to step inside a religious facility. “Why should we send our child to people who generally despise and condemn unbelievers”, the parents asked the school.
300 Euro penalty and forced visit
The German Constitutional law would agree, but the responsible parties at the school see it differently. The school headmistress filed a complaint with the police and the county school inspector decreed a penalty charge notice, against the mother as well as against the father of the student. Reason: The child did not attend the “information event” at the mosque.
Now the parents look like “dangerous felons”, they say. There never was a hearing. The penalty charge notice never considered any exculpatory circumstances. Therefore the parents “didn’t in a satisfying manner care, for their child’s school attendance”.
Now a 300 Euro penalty charge looms and a forced visit to the mosque. The parents have filed an appeal. Therefore this case will be heard in district court soon.

Mosque entrance cemented shut in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Unknown persons have, on Thursday night last week, cemented shut the entrance to a mosque in Parchim (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). They attached Erdogan’s quote,
“The mosques are our barracks, the minarets our bayonets, the domes our helmets and the believers our soldiers”,
as well as the quote “You call yourselves ‘believers’ – we call you invaders”. The police report from August 28th is speaking of “xenophobic slogans”.
Here is the translated police report:

Discrimination in the Name of Allah. Essen university closes prayer room
The following article is the first of series on controversies caused by the closure of prayer rooms — de facto mini-mosques — at German universities. This one, from the University of Essen, is not current; it was published in February of this year.
The most chilling part of this piece is the university’s justification for the closure: the prayer room is no longer needed, since there are now so many mosques in the neighborhoods adjacent to the campus.

Discrimination in the name of Allah — Essen University closes prayer room
Essen. Non-Muslim students in Essen complain about repression by Muslim students. Now, the university closes the prayer room.
The Islamic prayer room at the University of Essen will soon be closed, the university directorate responds in answer to an inquiry by this newspaper. “As there are a variety of religious sites close to campus, no prayer rooms used exclusively by a single religious group on the university property are necessary anymore,” the statement of the directorate says, referring to the many mosques close to the university.
Students complain: elevator is blocked
There are plans now to introduce a neutral “room of silence”.
According to this newspapers’ research, non-Muslim students are discriminated against by fundamentalist Muslim students. At Friday prayers, they are regularly hindered from using an elevator which leads to the prayer room on the fourth floor. But the University Directorate “clearly objects” to the impression that a “fundamentalist regime” was spreading in the prayer room’s vicinity.
The prayer room “R12?T04?E96” has been controversial for years. In 2007, the University tried in vain to close the room with reference to an acute shortage of rooms, hate preachers, and occupants foreign to the university. Talks with Muslim students led to a compromise.
Are students of the university Duisburg-Essen discriminated against by fundamentalist Muslim students, just because they are “infidels” from a Muslim perspective? As this newspaper learnt from a reliable source, during Friday prayers, disturbing restrictions were regularly enforced on the campus in Essen.
The accusation: Non-Muslim students are brusquely prevented by religious zealots from using the elevator in the building “T04” during Friday prayer. Lapidary justification: The elevator, which leads up to the Muslim prayer room on the fourth floor, is exclusively reserved for “brothers” during prayer time. Even female Muslim students are not allowed to use the elevator during that time. However, the “sisters” did not seem to mind this unusual form of segregation of the sexes. But it does not stop there: even toilets near the prayer room are not permitted to be used by “infidels” before, during, and after the Friday prayer.
University justifies closing with mosques near campus
“Open in thinking” — the university Duisburg-Essen casts their tolerant, cosmopolitan self-image into this slogan. But does this image of man, formed by the spirit of enlightenment, namely freedom of religion and equality of the sexes, also apply to Muslim students? Doubts appear justified, as it seems they created their own guidelines.
Outside of the important Friday prayer, a curtain separates the room which holds 50 to 60 people in two areas: one for women and one for men — as usual in a mosque. The internet page “moscheesuche.de” (“mosque search”) explicitly describes the specific characteristics of “R 12 T04 E96”. It says: “The mosque has got a separate entrance for women and for men. For Friday prayer, the prayer room is only open to men; for Asr [daily afternoon] prayer, the mosque then is open to all sisters again.”
Alleged restrictions in the Name of Allah under the roof of a public academy — this newspaper asked the university for a statement. But the University directorate “clearly objects” to the “subjective impression that a fundamentalist regime formed in the prayer room’s vicinity”.
The university justifies the closing with the many Mosques near campus. “Therefore, the prayer room will soon be closed in the course of extensive construction measures in this university building,” they say. At the same time, they stress that the university is an ideologically neutral establishment, “which principally does not prefer any religious group”. Now the management plans to support retreats for students and staff in neutral rooms. Such a “room of silence” would allow them to calm down or to pray. The university explicitly stresses that they see themselves as a “place of tolerance and peaceful coexistence”.
Muslim student destroyed a cartoon poster in 2013
In the past, the University of Essen was shown in an unfavorable light because of Islamic zealots and fundamentalists. Because she deemed her religious feelings hurt, in 2013 a Muslim student destroyed a cartoon poster with a pair of scissors. A full frontal attack on the freedom of opinion and art, to which the university reacted with self-censorship. The student exhibition “What Comics Can Do” in the library foyer had to be closed prematurely, and the district court later sentenced the picture-destroyer to a fine of €400 for property damage.
At one time the few Muslim students on the campus of Essen were viewed as exotic birds, but they have long since appeared to be numerous and self-confident. Moderate Muslim students complain about an atmosphere of intimidation by the fundamentalists, who arrogate to themselves to define what is Islamically correct.
At the last elections to the General Student Committee, with 30% the “United Students”, dominated by Muslims, became the strongest group in the student parliament. One of their central demands is: halal food in the canteen and a better prayer room at the Duisburg site.
AfD rallies against mosques in Germany
The call to prayer in Germany, a little pushback, and why we should not allow mosques at all
From the Fortress Europe Facebook page on this event.
Minister of Internal Affairs of Federal Republic of Germany Thomas De Maizière doesn’t see any problem with Muezzin in Germany. 60 decibels, 3 minutes, all conform to the immission law. We played the music in front of his regional office in Saxony – still no problem, Mr. De Maizière?
The signs read: “WE DEMAND that the 60 Db. 3 minute call to prayer STOP
But why do this?

Gladbeck. “Allahu Akbar” resounds daily from the minaret of a mosque in Gladbeck. The council welcomes this, but residents feel bypassed.
For 19 long years it was quiet around the DITIB mosque in the Gladbeck district Butendorf. Until then, there was what is now often called the gentlemen’s agreement between the city and the Muslim community: mosque yes, muezzin no!
But now loudspeakers from the minaret call to prayer once a day, at noon: “Allahu Akbar” – “Allah is the greatest thing.” Around, in Butendorf, there are some who find it anything but great
Butendorf, situated in southern Gladbeck has indeed seen better days. The times of the mining industry, as it were still Graf Moltke colliery. But the district has long left the bad times behind it, where it was considered a stigma to live on many of its streets.
It has been invested, newly built. And so, a few months ago, the city administration a few months ago was well aware that it was a controversial desire with which the Butendorfer mosque community approached them. “We have made ourselves knowledgeable and found that the community just exercises their fundamental right” explains social department Rainer Weichelt.
They spoke to each other, negotiated, and finally convinced the community, not to do the call to prayer five times seven days a week, but only once per day on five days. To back up the Muslims, the City Council expressedly welcomed at its last meeting before Easter the muezzin call. Only the CDU grumbled that the call to Friday prayers should have been enough.
The reactions followed promptly: Apart from “hundred ugly emails from the right-wing scene”, says Weichelt, the muezzin call has become city topic. “We are irritated, feel bypassed,” says Werner Bugzel, spokesman for the Evangelical Church Circle Gladbeck-Bottrop-Dorsten.
They would have liked a conversation with the Muslim community and the municipality. “Instead, we learned it from the press,” says Bugzel.
The Catholic neighboring community is “disappointed” too by the proceeding. In order not to let fuel the fire, Christa Schniering, the Commissioner for Christian-Islamic dialogue of St. Lamberti Community, strives to find forthcoming words.
“We will now wait and see how it sounds in the long run if it remains at the prescribed fifty-five decibels,” says Schniering. The emotions need to “calm down”
There are a lot of Mosques in Germany, but not many Muezzin calls.
We know of exactly nineteen mosques that do call to prayer. But we estimate in fact it is 30 to 35″, says Bekir Alboga, the manager of the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious e.V. (DITIB) in Cologne.
In most mosques it was common practice to explicitly renounce the prayer call when applying for the building permit. Many municipalities have let themselves in on this compromise.
“There, where it is called, we haven’t heard any complaints” says the Islam Scientist Alboga.
The new Mosque in Cologne, located in the town center, refrains to do the call to prayer, as well as the great Merkez Mosque in Duisburg-Marxloh. “There is the need for it,” said their spokesman Sinan Celik, “most people work during the week and have no time to pray. I live ten kilometers away. How loud should the call should be?”
Anyway, in the Wielandstraße in Gladbeck on Friday the Muezzin call started as a surprise. Ahead of schedule, sooner than forecast.
This too causes irritation in Gladbeck, and criticism of the communication style of the community. The Gladbecker CDU has expressed their understanding of “fears of foreign infiltration”.
In the Mosque Club they are still convinced that “the polemic will stop soon”. A volume of 55 decibels is not worth mentioning. “You can not even hear much. It’s more of a symbolic act, but it means much to the parishioners. The community is very happy. We are hopeful, “says Figen Güdül-Turpçu, deputy Mosque Association chairman. However, it is sad that people would be so afraid of the reputation confesses Güdül-Turpçu.
Emotions are so charged that even small enough events can fire them. Out of all dates, on Good Friday a couple married in the mosque and celebrated with much honking, gun shots and a motorcade. Word made it that Christian neighbors felt harassed, “their feelings had been trampled.”
[Note from Translator: Actually in German she says “shut down” the emotions, like shut down a computer or a machine, which is extremely flippant, but I don’t know the equivalent English expression]
[Ed: I believe the Arabs have a saying for this. Something about the nose of a camel inside a tent. Once you allow mosques, you will get all that follows. Its only a matter of time till you have minarets and sharia law enforced. This is how it works. The people who warn about the towers and speakers on mosques are always called bigots and alarmists. But this is how it always goes.]
Thank you Egri Nok and Brunhilde as well as Tania Groth for the help on all this.
H/T M on the video.
Bosnian muslims warn of Saudi funded ‘extremist’ mosques
Comments on YT are disabled for this video. Unsurprisingly. So I am giving this its own post so people can comment here. It is quite an interesting video with a good collection of under informed analysis and half truths but thats a half a truth more than we usually get about Islam.
To kick off the comments, the statement by the narrator that says that these moderate imams made a categorical and unequivocal condemnation of the Islamic State is false.
In Islam, they would have to declare them “takfiri” or not true muslims. And so far, none of the imams who do the ‘Islamic State is not the true Islam’ have said that. So it means nothing.
When they call them out, it means something in islam. It is in fact, a capitol offense to be a fake muslim, and is exactly what the Islamic State uses to justify its wholesale murder of Shiia muslims when the opportunity presents.
Also one wonders if the sudden flurry of news about KSA funded extremist mosques, something people who have been paying attention to for a really long time, is coincedentally being made and released at the same time that the US Senate passed a bill allowing Americans to sue that despotic and horrifyingly anti-freedom nation for its obvious role in the 911 attacks.
However should it be proven and known that the Saudis had a direct hand in it, one might would think suing people who you give $40B a day to for oil (assuming a $100/brl price) i a stupid solution, as it would just mean paying a few million less to them. Instead, a kinetic solution they would feel twice as much. That would actually have an impact.
