Stores selling Muslims veils [niqabs] in Germany have been directly linked with local Salafis and radicals; in addition, there is a store in the capital Berlin which openly sells Daesh paraphernalia, Dr. Abdel-Hakim Ourghi, an expert on Islam, told Sputnik.

Salafi Dogma Sells in Germany

In an interview with Sputnik, Dr. Abdel-Hakim Ourghi mentioned a number of German cities which he said sell Muslims veils [niqabs] and which have direct ties to local Salafis and radicals. What's more, he said, there is a store in Berlin which openly sells Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the terrorist ISIS/ISIL group] paraphernalia.

Such stores are located all across Germany, including in Frankfurt, Mainz, Wuppertal, Berlin and Bremen.

The exact number of stores has yet to be revealed, but it will almost certainly increase in the near future, according to Ourghi.

He said that these stores sell not only clothes designed to completely cover women's faces and bodies, but also special clothing for men and boys which symbolizes membership in the Salafi community.

Qurghi further underscored that the purpose of opening such stores is not only aimed at gaining economic benefits.

He said that "if you look closely, it becomes clear that a Salafist propaganda structure stands behind all of this given that in these stores they sell goods with extremist symbols, which is expressed in certain relevant inscriptions and colors."

According to him, such an approach is competing with Western values and accepted standards for the socialization of children in Germany, helping to create a so-called "parallel society."

Qurghi added that the German government should keep a watchful eye on these stores, which he said help establish links between Muslims living in Germany and teach them Salafism.

Meanwhile, German security agencies estimated that thousands of EU-born extremist militants may be on their way home soon after fighting intensified in Syria and Iraq, German media reports said.
