German police raid Islamic group
German police have raided more than 30 sites believed to be connected to a banned Islamic organisation, al-Aqsa.
The raids happened a day after the country's top administrative court upheld a 2002 ban on the group.

The German government alleges that the charity raises funds for the Palestinian militant movement, Hamas.

Al-Aqsa, which says it raises funds to alleviate poverty, had won permission to continue fundraising on a temporary basis last year.

Materials seized

The raids were conducted on 34 sites in Berlin, Bremen, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.

The Interior Ministry says the police seized "extensive" materials.

The German Interior Minister, Otto Schily, said the raids had targeted sites connected with two groups suspected of taking over from al-Aqsa in 2002.

He said if the suspicions were confirmed, he would ban the new groups as well. On Friday, a German court upheld the original decision to ban the charity, saying there was evidence it provided financial support for attacks by Hamas on Israeli targets.

The group is not believed to be connected to the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, which linked to the main Palestinian group, Fatah.

sigh...
do ALL muslims need to be contained? do only arabic muslims need to be contained? do only extremist muslims need to be contained? are you willing to contain innocent muslims because of the extremist actions of a few?

These issues are so complicated. I know a persian lady that doesn't like to travel down to the US anymore cause she gets hassled, (mostly going through customs, etc) because many people with her colour skin are muslim (though she's not). The issue of balancing statistics with individuality is so tricky and politically volatile, and perhaps rightly so.


EDIT: Deleted main part of post. I guess we have no partisans on the board, nobody responded 😛
Move along then, nothing to see here.
