MUNICH - Police on Thursday arrested seven Islamic extremists and raided 31 mosques, homes and offices in this year's third crackdown in Germany on fund-raising for terrorism.
In months of surveillance, police discovered that two Munich-based activists had raised EUR 1 million between them to finance Islamist groups abroad. They are likely to be charged with money laundering and tax evasion.
Hundreds of police fanned out at dawn in six states and the Belgian capital Brussels to search premises of everyone who had been in recent contact with the 43-year-old Tunisian and the 47-year-old Egyptian.
With the conviction of Muslim terrorist and illegal immigrant Kamel Bourgass, immigration has become a central issue in the run up to the British elections. The German arrests illustrate it is not just illegal immigrants involved with terrorism.
Police said the two main suspects had valid immigration permits.
And Germany joins the growing list of countries that are fed up with the Holy Men of Hate.
Court rejects Turkish imam's expulsion appeal
The authorities cited a speech he had given at a rally of the extreme nationalist Milli Gorus organisation in which he had praised the suicide attackers in Jerusalem and Iraq as martyrs.
The imam had also been shown to use insulting language in his sermons about the Germans, calling them "infidels" and saying that they "stank" and were of "no use to Moslems".
Authorities cited the remarks, which were tape-recorded, as evidence that the man was inciting hatred against Americans and Jews and endangering the peace in the local German community.
More and more countries are waking up to these Holy Men of Hate.
At least in other countries they are getting fed up with these Holy Men of Hate.
Holland, France, Italy and others are fed up with the Holy Men Of Hate.
When will Britain wake up?
