In autumn 2018, the so-called Ummet Mosque in Feldkirch in the Austrian province of Vorarlberg, which had attracted attention due to controversial Koran distributions among other things, was closed down. Now a comprehensive study proves that the association had actually contributed to the jihadist radicalisation of young people in Germany and Austria with its actions. Some of the teenagers also became involved in terrorist organizations, such as the Isalmic State. The Ummet Mosque in particular was described by the study authors as “politically Salafistic”, the mosque operators also refused to talk to the authors. The mosque community was the starting point for activities in Vorarlberg as part of the ” Read! campaign “, during which translations of the Koran were distributed at information stands in Vorarlberg’s cities. According to the study, this campaign had contributed greatly to the jihadist radicalisation of young people in Germany and Austria.Some of the young people addressed in this way had ended up in Syria in 2014/2015 with the Islamic State or with other jihadist organisations. In the small prayer room, suitable for about 50 people, mainly young Salafi Vorarlbergers with Chechen, Dagestani, Bosniac, Turkish, Kurdish and Afghan migration backgrounds had gathered until autumn 2018. The Vorarlberg Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the security authorities have monitored the association, even after the closure of the mosque this applies to the active members who remained in Vorarlberg. In Vorarlberg there were 37 Islamic prayer houses at the time of the study (including the Ummet Mosque), about 12,900 people – not quite 25 percent of the Muslim population of the country – had and have a membership in mosque associations. 32 mosque associations are supported by five supra-regional umbrella organisations: AIF (Austrian Islamic Federation), ATF (Austrian Turkish Federation), ATİB (Turkish-Islamic Union in Austria), VIKZ (Association of Islamic Cultural Centres) and IZBA (Association of Bosniac Islamic Associations in Austria). The other five were or are individual associations.

Beatrix von Storch, Member of the Federal Executive Board of the German AfD-Party, commented on the lack of support for Israel by the German UN Ambassador Heusgen in the UN Security Council:
” Today the tabloid BILD has good reason to ask: ‘Why doesn’t Germany stand clearly on Israel’s side?  At the meeting of the UN Security Council Merkel’s former know-it-alls and current UN ambassador Heusgen compared the rocket terror of radical Islamic Hamas (over 130 rockets on Israel alone in recent days) with the demolition of houses without building permits. In 2008 Merkel had still declared to the Knesset, the Israeli parliament: ‘For me as German Chancellor Israel’s security is never a matter for negotiation’.When Merkel’s UN ambassador now in cynical manner compares the Palestinian missile attacks (over 12,000 alone since the takeover of the terrorist organization Hamas) with the use of Israeli bulldozers against illegally erected buildings, this only clearly shows the infamous hypocrisy of the Chancellor in her so-called pro-Israeli policy.It should be a matter of course for every German and above all for the federal government to join the commentary of the tabloid BILD without any ifs or buts: ‘When Islamist terrorists fire rockets at Israeli children, there should be no question of being on Israel’s side’. The relativization of anti-Israeli violence and comparisons that trivialize terror by Merkel’s UN ambassadors are intolerable and illustrate the whole hypocrisy of Merkel and her coalition government towards Israel.

* BDS stands for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions and is an international political anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic campaign that seeks to harm Israel economically, culturally and politically.

On the 7th of October on the line between Nuremberg and Munich in Bavaria a thick wire rope was stretched over the tracks between two power pylons by using a lashing strap and several metal straps at a height of four to five metres. The Inter City Express ICE on the Nuremberg-Munich line was damaged and thousands of passengers were in mortal danger. A police spokesman: “The perpetrators put the passengers in danger of death”. On Christmas holidays, of all days, a second fatal ICE attack took place in Berlin, which was hardly reported in the German media.The German mainstream media then tried to put the blame for the attempted mass murder on “right-wing copycats” in the usual Reichstag fire of 1933 style – immediately before the state elections in Bavaria and Hesse. 

For example, the left-wing radical “refugee” weekly newspaper “Die ZEIT” circulated:

“Attempted steel cable attack on ICE may have right-wing motivation.
Hanover (AFP) The attempted attack on an ICE with a steel cable in Bavaria at the beginning of October may have had a right-wing extremist background. We think it is possible that it was a radicalized individual perpetrator from the extreme right who wanted to provoke a mood against refugees shortly before the state elections in Bavaria”, an investigator told the newspapers of the editorial network “Deutschland”.

Yesterday, Monday afternoon, a violent clash took place in Leonberg between a Turkish and a Syrian group of origin for reasons that have not yet been clarified. In the course of the clash, a 22-year-old Turk allegedly attacked a 20-year-old Syrian with a knife. The dispute had begun at lunchtime in a fast food restaurant in a shopping centre on Eltinger Street. There the alleged victim of the knife attack had inflicted a laceration with a head-butt on an 18-year-old boy of Turkish origin, who had been there with several companions, and who had to be treated in hospital. The Syrian was also accompanied by three to four people at this time. As a result, the conflict continued around 2 p.m. at the Neuköllner Square bus stop a few metres away, where about 15 to 20 people aged 14 to 23 clashed. Among these persons was the 20-year-old, who was presumably attacked by a 22-year-old Turk due to an earlier head-butt. The 20-year-old then attacked with a pepper spray and used it against several of those involved. The 22-year-old then pulled a military knife, threatened his opponent and stabbed him several times in his direction, but without injuring him.Then the 22-year-old fled and the conflict resolved. The Böblingen Police Department, call 07031/13-00, is now looking for witnesses who have observed the conflict between the two groups.

When he came to the aid of a young woman, a 38-year-old man from Jülich was beaten. He had to be taken to a hospital with serious injuries. On Friday morning shortly after 09:00 a.m. a 19-year-old woman from Aldenhoven was approached by a stranger on the platform of the Jülich railway station. The man communicated in English, harassed the young woman verbally and made sexual advances. The woman from Aldenhoven turned away and a witness came to her aid. He approached the man and presumably told him in a foreign language that he should leave the woman alone. The man reacted extremely aggressively and repeatedly punched the helper in the face with his fists, even when he fell to the ground and remained lying there. The 19-year-old made an emergency call and the police and rescue workers were sent. The helper, a 38-year-old man from Jülich, was taken to a hospital first and then to a clinic for in-patient treatment with serious injuries.The attacker was arrested by the police for the time being. He was a 19-year-old Syrian resident in Linnich. His identity was established beyond doubt.At noon the accused was released by the Jülich police station. He is now being investigated for sexual harassment and dangerous bodily harm.

A civilian police patrol first noticed two Porsche cars and an Audi R8 car near Ratigen-East on the Highway 3, which swung back and forth with hazard lights on all lanes, slowing down the traffic behind them and then stopping (photos above). The police patrol was then able to witness a Ford Mustang changing to the side lane and overtaking the vehicles standing on the lane (including the Audi R8 with a bouquet of flowers and the Daimler E 350) over the hard shoulder on the right and driving in front of it. Arriving at the stationary vehicles, the police officers could not believe what they saw: The driver of the Mustang let the tyres smoke in front of the stationary vehicles and probably wanted to drift over the “closed” roadway. In the Mustang Cabrio a man stood and made photos of the scene. From the other waiting vehicles passengers got out to make photos.When the Turkish wedding party noticed the police officers, the participants drove on. Two of the luxury cars were stopped shortly afterwards. Here one of the “blockers” expressed one would not have to worry, “he knows a good lawyer”. All drivers denied to have done something wrong or said to have already phoned their lawyers.The police are now investigating on suspicion of duress and traffic hazard and ask road users who witnessed the incident on Friday (22nd of March) around 5 p.m. to call 0211-8700.
