European department and international relations advisor at Germany home affairs ministry Mr. Johans Orban revealed that Germany is prone to cooperate with Algeria to put a term to religious extremism among the Muslim community through mosques supervision by Algerian Imams.




On the fringes of the fact-finding visit to Germany meant to take stock of Muslims life there, in which El Khabar is taking part on the invitation of Foreign Affairs ministry and Goethe Centre, the German home affairs ministry spokesman made clear that “Germany is desirous to up grade its relations with the Algerian religious affairs ministry to benefit from its experience in terms of mosque supervision as is the case in France in order to put an end to religious extremism recorded in 1293 mosques in the German federation mirrored through violent acts Muslim youth there perpetrate.

The same source further mentioned that security information underscores that there is terrorist cells acting under the cover of Islam who provide al Qaeda with support. Yet, in spite of that fact, the speaker says “the German government distinguishes Islam and violence as it is used by some parties who strive to achieve its interests on the behalf of Islam.

According to the speaker, there is “a fear so that al Qaeda affiliated cells act in Germany, which will represent a threat to the German project meant to fully integrate the Muslim community.
