Mesquitas como quartéis

Robert Spencer sobre as mesquitas como escolas de ódio e violência, como quartéis e como paióis; fala ainda sobre a situação nos EUA. De recordar as palavras do primeiro-ministro turco Erdogan, citando um poeta turco: "The domes are our helmets, the mosques our barracks and the believers our army."

On Monday, authorities in Hamburg, Germany announced that they had finally shut down the Taiba mosque, which as the Al-Quds mosque in 2001 was a meeting place for several of the 9/11 jihad terrorists, including Mohamed Atta, and which continued to be a hotbed of jihad activity thereafter: a May 2010 report from Hamburg's Interior Ministry called the mosque "the central attraction for the jihadist scene."

Christoph Ahlhaus, Hamburg's secretary of the interior, announced Monday: "Today we closed the Taiba mosque because young men were being turned into religious fanatics there. Behind the scenes, a supposed cultural organization shamelessly used the freedoms of our democratic rule of law to promote holy war. Hamburg cannot become a cradle for Islamists capable of violence."

Yet that is exactly what it was. In March 2009 eleven Islamic jihadists who met in the Taiba mosque went to Pakistan, apparently to attend a jihad training camp. The mosque's imam, Mamoun Darkazanli, may have aided al-Qaeda - and as the mosque was closed this week, his whereabouts were unknown.

The Hamburg mosque was not singular. In recent years mosques have been used to preach hatred [2]; to spread exhortations to terrorist activity [3]; to house a bomb factory [4]; to store weapons [5]; to disseminate messages from bin Laden [6]; to demand (in the United States) that non-Muslims conform to Islamic dietary restrictions [7]; to fire on American troops [8]; to fire upon Indian troops [9]; to train jihadists [10]; and much more.
