Islamic Organization Banned In Germany After Raids In 60 Cities

GERMANY ON EDGE: 200 homes and mosques RAIDED by anti-terror cops in ISIS crackdown
HUNDREDS of German police have launched coordinated raids this morning in ten of the country’s 16 states hunting for supporters and recruiters of Islamic State among a Salafist group calling itself ‘The True Religion.’
BERLIN — Hundreds of police officers searched about 190 offices, mosques and apartments of members and supporters of the Islamic group “The true religion” as the German government announced a ban of the organization Tuesday.
Police raided places in 60 cities in western Germany and also in Berlin seizing documents and files, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said. Nobody was detained.
The group — also known as “Read!” — has been distributing German-language copies of the Qur’an across the country. The interior minister said that more than 140 youths had travelled to Syria and Iraq to join fighters there after having participated in the group’s campaigns in Germany.
“The translations of the Qur’an are being distributed along with messages of hatred and unconstitutional ideologies,” de Maiziere told reporters in Berlin. “Teenagers are being radicalized with conspiracy theories.”
