German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel urged Saudi Arabia on Sunday to stop supporting religious radicals, amid growing
concern among some lawmakers in Berlin about the funding of
militant mosques by the world’s biggest oil exporter.
The unusual criticism of the Gulf state follows a report by
Germany’s foreign intelligence agency which suggested that Saudi foreign policy was becoming more “impulsive”.
The German government rebuked the BND agency for making
such suggestions about Saudi Arabia, an important business
partner that is involved in international talks to find a political solution to the Syria crisis.. “We need Saudi Arabia to solve the regional conflicts,” Sigmar Gabriel, the head of the Social Democrats (SPD) who share power with conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel, told the mass-circulation newspaper Bild am Sonntag.
“But we must at the same time make clear that the time to look
away is past.
Wahabi mosques are financed all over the world by Saudi Arabia. In Germany, many dangerous Islamists come from these communities,” he said.

Saudi Arabia follows the ultra-conservative Wahabi form of
Islam, and some outsiders see it as a cause of the international
jihadist threat.
In a statement, the Saudi Arabia embassy in Berlin said the
Kingdom was interested in countering the radicalization of young people and referred to a previous statement in which it denied wanting to build 200 mosques in Germany.
“Like Germany, we are part of the anti-Islamic State coalition and
fighting side by side against terror,” it said.
The Saudis have cracked down on jihadists at home and cut
militant finance streams, but some groups, including ISIS and al
Qaeda, follow an extreme interpretation of the Salafi branch of Islam of which Wahhabism was the original strain.
Germany is worried about growing support for Salafism. The
domestic intelligence agency says the number of Salafists has
risen to 7,900, up from 5,500 just two years ago.
Another senior Social Democrat, Thomas Oppermann, also homed in on Saudi Arabia, saying Wahabism offered a ideology
for IS insurgents and contributed to the radicalisation of
moderates.
“We don’t need or want it in Germany,” he told the weekly Welt am Sonntag.
Germans are worried about a possible attack on their soil,
especially after the bombings and shootings in Paris on Nov. 13
that killed 130 people.
Responding to an appeal from France, Germany is sending
reconnaissance jets, a frigate and 1,200 military personnel to join
the fight against IS insurgents in Syria. It is not, however, joining
U.S., French, Russian and British air strikes.
The head of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany said military action was not the way to stop insurgency.
“We have sown the seeds of war and it has resulted in terror and
refugees,” Aiman Mazyek told the Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung
newspaper, referring to the war in Iraq which Germany opposed.

Funny if you ask me, how will you stop them from funding the fundamental doctrine on which their religion is based.

If you ask me, na who i go ask? It seem Germany has forgotten that Satan Arabia was founded on the principle of wahabism.
