File under: Moslem Colonists

#1 Ever since the July 2002 German government raid on the Al Aqsa Charity Foundation in Aachen, during which a ton of good intel material was hauled off, Germany's Moslems have been most circumspect in maintaining records that might be useful in determining Islamist activity in Germany.

#2 :-) We actually don’t have anything that July about the Aachen raid in the Rantburg archives, Slavising Unineting5672 — I looked. Links to all the articles we have on the Al Aqsa Foundation under that name can be seen here — give it a few moments to load. We have nothing under Aqsa Charity Foundation. The Global Fight Against Terrorism Funding site has a page here. There is more at https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/alaqsa-foundation-aaf, but Fred’s code only allows two hot links per comment to reduce spam.

#3 Indeed, it usually goes by Al Aqsa Foundation. Some early information on the movement can be found in the book, Alms for Jihad. For Islamists in Germany there exists a good book, A Mosque in Germany, or A Mosque in Munich, (I have lost the book and can't remember which). It followed the Ramadan family, their involvement in Germany, and the growth in mosques.

#4 but the German Empire also used the mosque to stir up Moslem prisoners' sentiments against their colonial powers, La Belle France and England. "Revolutionary strategy" is what the German Empire called it. Here, jihadis were sworn in and eventually sent to fight the "holy war."

Germans have done this many times in the past, so no surprise, and not always to Germany's eventual benefit. They smuggled Lenin into Russia through Finland in 1917. Didn't work out that great for them, though. Interesting bit of history on that here.

#5 For Islamists in Germany there exists a good book, A Mosque in Germany, or A Mosque in Munich, (I have lost the book and can't remember which).

A Mosque in Munich by Ian Johnson. No longer available in Kindle, though I still have placeholder for the sample I downloaded following a recommendation here.
