Islamic Assembly: Brotherhood group in Germany

There are Islamic organizations under cover of
the Muslim Brotherhood in Germany, which raises concerns about its expansion
and increasing its influence in the country.
The Organization of Islamic Assembly in
Germany is one of the oldest organizations there, including about 1,300
members, classified by the German intelligence as one of the most important
organizations of the Brotherhood and that its members are seeking to establish
an Islamic state.
In a study published by the Konrad Adenauer
Institute, Aladdin Sarhan, the author of the study, said: "The Islamic
Group in Germany is trying to separate the Islamic centers that branch out of
it, and this creates a structure that is difficult for the German security
authorities to control.”
The study pointed out that the Islamic Group
is a key player in the network of the European Brotherhood, adding that the
goal is to influence the ideology of Muslims living in Germany and try to
include them.
Since then, German intelligence has published
a report describing the Brotherhood's threat to public security in the country.
He said that the Brotherhood is exploiting the contradiction between their
group and the groups that resort to violence, such as Daesh as a means of
presenting themselves as an alternative that does not cause problems.
Meanwhile, foreign media pointed out that the
prayers that were held after the death of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi were
only an attempt to draw attention to the extent of the Brotherhood's arrival
and penetration into German society.
The Islamic Group tried to deny its
relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood, but newspaper reports indicated that
the organization's head page, Khaled Suwaid, published photos of the "four
fingers" logo used by the Muslim Brotherhood. Mehdi Akef, former head of
the Islamic Group in Germany, Ibrahim al-Zayat, was the head of the Muslim
Brotherhood in Germany, but Zayat denied that.
