Germany bans Muslim group over alleged terror donations

2021-05-06

[AlAhram] Police raided buildings in 10 German states associated with Ansaar International, German news agency dpa reported

The German government on Wednesday banned a Moslem organization that it alleged had supported ``terrorism globally with donations.``

Police raided buildings in 10 German states associated with Ansaar International,

...founded in 2012, the group describes itself as an aid organization carrying out projects "for the good of Allah." It claims to have 600 members in Germany and around 2,000 around the globe, ostensibly providing health services, water and sanitation, orphanages and education to the needy in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Americas...

German news agency dpa reported. The news agency said the money the organization collected went to welfare projects but also to groups such as the Syrian al-Qaeda affiliate known as the Nusra Front, the Paleostinian group Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, and al-Shabaab

...... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...
in Somalia.

``The organization Ansaar International and its suborganizations were banned. The network finances terrorism globally with its donations,'' a spokesperson for the German Interior Ministry tweeted.

The ministry quoted Interior Minister Horst Seehofer as saying, ``When wanting to fight terrorism, one needs to dry out its money sources.''

A man who answered a phone call to the organization's headquarters in the western German city of Duesseldorf immediately hung up when The News Agency that Dare Not be Named called seeking comment.

The Times of Israel adds:

In 2018 alone, it collected 8 to 10 million euros in donations, according to its first chairman.

In 2019 Germany raided 90 properties associated with a network headed by two groups based in North Rhine-Westphalia: WorldWide Resistance-Help and Ansaar International.

#3 In addition to what Spike has shared:

Ansar basically means 'supporters' but has changed with time to mean 'defenders', implying defenders of islam. The militant group that followed Mohammed and his family around as guards when they were being hunted in the desert were called Ansari. Today it means 'militant defenders' often trained and dedicated units of young men.

So when you encounter anything called an Ansar, even if it's distributing coats in winter, you know damn well that another bunch of them are killing you elsewhere.

Harkat-ul-Ansar was a Pakistani outfit recruiting in Kashmir in the early 90s, led by Rahman Khalil. They were trained and funded by an Algerian-Bosnian Mokhtari and Pakistani militants. We wiped out the footsoldiers by '94, and jailed some but the leadership that escaped settled in the UK. Their children later invested in UK politics and run several islamic associations aided by the Pakistain ISI.

Maulana Masood Azhar, most wanted bastitch no gooder living it up in Pak, is also originally Harkat-ul-Ansar.

#2 The terrorist Ansar groups are legion. They began with Bin Laden's first move to unite the Afghan-Arab mujahideen and was initiated in Afghanistan in February 1988. There Bin Laden, Zawahiri of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Rahman Khalil of ANSAR Pakistan, the Islamist Bangladeshi Abdul Salem Muhammad, and Abu Yassir Ahmed Taha, representing Arab North Africa, coordinated their efforts to continue the jihad through an "Islamic Struggle Front." Etc., etc., etc.
