Germany dumps three holy men |
2005-08-19 |
Bavaria is expelling three suspected Islamist radicals from Germany, the southern state said on Thursday, as its tough home affairs chief positions himself to be Germanyâs next interior minister. âAnyone who wants to replace our free democratic order with an Islamist theocracy has no business here,â the Bavarian minister, Guenther Beckstein, said as he announced the expulsion of two Bosnians and a Moroccan. The three were members of a group called Tablighi Jamaat whose followers aim to create an Islamic state, Becksteinâs ministry said in a statement. It said they were âmissionariesâ who had tried to spread extremist ideas including the value of âmartyrdomâ, a term also used by militants to justify suicide attacks. The three have until Sept. 10 to leave voluntarily or be deported. In its annual report released in May, Germanyâs domestic intelligence agency described Tablighi Jamaat as dedicated to peaceful means but said there was a risk the movement could be exploited by violent radicals. |
