Summary
Home
Raids on radical Islamists in Germany and a new German ban on a Salafist group reflect how German patience is running out with Islamist groups that espouse violence. While Germany has fewer problems with radical Islamists than France or the UK, its actions will influence policies toward Islamist extremism in other European countries.

Last week, nearly 1,000 German police officers raided Salafist-associated buildings, one of Germany’s largest crackdowns in recent years on radical Islamists.  The Salafist group Millatu Ibrahim was also banned due to its involvement in a May 2012 skirmish that injured 29 police officers, two seriously.
