Germany’s Sharia law threat: Muslim brotherhood ‘wants monopoly over mosques’, expert says

From the Express

ISLAMIC radicals from the Muslim Brotherhood are attempting to gain a “monopoly” over mosques in the German state of Saxony and impose Sharia law, a local security chief has claimed.

Gordian Meyer-Plath, president of the regional department of the German domestic security and anti-terrorist organisation claimed the Muslim Brotherhood “have long been active in Saxony, although they were stealthy”. The BfV anti-terror leader posed the question that when “a [large] number of Muslims have come to Germany, do they see a chance to expand their network beyond some central structures and become interesting for the new Muslims in Saxony?”

Mr Meyer-Plath claimed that while the Muslim Brotherhood in Germany is “beyond jihad” – meaning it is not directly involved with terror attacks – he says the organisation poses a threat to western democratic systems.

Mr Meyer-Plath added: “The Muslim Brothers still want to establish Sharia law in Germany.”

The Islamic Cultural Centre in Dresden, which is allegedly controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, denied accusations of radicalism and added it supports “non-political Islam”, RT reported.

The Muslim Brotherhood itself claims to be a democratic organisation and “condemns acts of violence” however the group is considered a terrorist organisation in several Middle Eastern nations include Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Donald Trump is also facing calls from former Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz to label the group a terrorist organisation.
