What far-right threats?
This article in the Süddeutsche Zeitung claims that the typical Friday open air prayer on Marienplatz will not take place due to fears of right-wing threats. Not coincidentally, that was where a 54-year-old German man set himself on fire to call attention to the threat of jihad and sharia.

The real reason why there are no official operating mosques in Munich is not because of “far-right threats.” It is because the mosques have all been shut down for preaching jihad and/or for building code violations. The Newsweek article is trying to give the impression that Germany won’t allow Muslims freedom of religion. That is laughably far from the case.
“Muslims Persist After Far-Right Death Threats Shut Down Mosques And Public Prayer In Germany,” by Chris Riotta, Newsweek, May 19, 2017:
There is no longer a single operating mosque in central Munich as of Friday; the final closure occurred earlier this week when the center was unable to accommodate the massive numbers of Muslims seeking a refuge for prayer.
A dramatic rise in Islamophobia across the U.K. and unending threats of violence and terror have forced mosques and public prayers to shut down without notice. And yet, Islamic organizers in Germany continue to persist, telling Newsweek they can raise awareness for their plight with the help of other religious leaders and churches throughout the region.
Some of that interfaith assistance has already arrived, with a local church opening its doors in the midst of fear and hatred, inviting Muslims in for prayer and safety.
A coalition of young Muslim students and community activists organized a prayer in Munich’s Marienplatz, a public square in the heart of the city, to bring attention to their lack of local spaces to practice their faith. The event was cancelled in its original form, however, after a bevy of violent threats from the German far right stated their intention to spur the same Islamophobic terror that’s been seen across the U.K. more so than ever since 2015, when anti-Muslim abuse surged 326 percent in a single year, according to the monitoring group Tell MAMA.
Massi Popal, who spearheaded organizing the public prayer before ultimately deciding to cancel it, said he’s found a new space where Muslims can pray in unity for the time being: a church in central Munich that invited the Islamic community to host a prayer session on its property Friday, May 26.

“We don’t want to cause trouble or protest,” Popal tells Newsweek. “We just want to inform our mayor and City Council in a very peaceful manner that there is no more place for us in central Munich.”
“After right extremist groups said they want to attack us and protest our prayer, we decided that we won’t give them the attention they want,” Popal says. “That’s when the church stepped in and gave us a safe and dignified space.”
The church will host the Islamic community on the eve of Ramadan, a month-long fasting and holy tradition for Muslims globally. Islamic advocacy groups around the world are calling on religious activists to host interfaith community sessions throughout the month to allow for an exchange of dialogue and to create a deeper understanding on the Muslim religion….

More evidence of how stupid germans are, as if more evidence was needed. islam clearly states that the only alternative to islam is death. What are the fools that call themselves Christians doing? Hosting there demonic executioners. islam is very clear on what unbelievers mean to them, and she they will do to unbelievers given a chance, there is every example this happening in germany as well as the rest of the world. So what do the germans do? Encourage and nurture it by inviting it into the heart i the country, which has become corrupt with denial and ignorance.

Non woman, as you and the rest of the ballbearing population are not good enough to be called “man” quit making excuses and do something . You are already known as a weak subspecies of the human race, incapable of defending your women, children culture or nations. It does not take any imagination to see the garbage dump you have allowed western Europe to become. Best you either put up and clean house, out shut up, grovelling and snivelling to islam in the manner of your people. Your ancestors defeated nazis, you encourage , aid and abet islam, bah, the lot of your are disgusting.

in A.D. 9, three crack legions of Rome’s army were caught in an ambush and annihilated an estimated 15,000 seasoned legionnaires commanded by
imperial Roman legate Publius Quinctilius Varus — long long ago and far far away – where have all the Germans gone, gone to Valhalla every one, when will they ever return, when will they return.

and for all of you out here in lulu land –
A valkyrie (pronounced “VAL-ker-ee”; Old Norse valkyrja, plural valkyrjur, “choosers of the fallen”) is a female helping spirit of the god Odin. The modern image of the valkyries as elegant, noble maidens bearing dead heroes to Valhalla
is largely accurate for what it is, but a highly selective portrayal
that exaggerates their pleasant qualities. To some extent, this tendency
toward sanitization is present even in the later Old Norse sources,
which focus on their love affairs with human men and their assisting
Odin in transporting his favorites among those slain in battle to
Valhalla, where they will fight by his side during Ragnarok. — where as them muzzy only have raisins waiting for them – http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/irshad-manji-koran-virgins-mistranslated/2016/05/24/id/730516/
May 24, 2016 … “The word for virgin has been mistranslated,” she maintains. “Martyrs would get
raisins in heaven, not virgins.”

I simply believe that praying and tying up a public location is downright inappropriate. Praying, which is an individual choice, ought to be limited to an enclosed/private location, and not be allowed to encumber out right of ways. I have no problem with the church offering their house of worship to these believers, since the result is to get them off the public thoroughfare..

I’m with Heidi Muntz. Germany belongs to the descendants of Martin Luther, Not the filthy followers of the pedophile. Germans should not share their places of worship and cultural history with those who would destroy them, rape their women, and enslave their children.

Martin Luther, the rabid antisemite? The guy was a psychopath who advocated the razing of all synagogues and salting the earth on which they stood. I hope he had some good excuses for his Jewish savior when he faced his final judgement.

Sorry. I did not know that about Martin Luther. I thought the Reformation was better for the Jews than the Inquisition, but seems like they rarely catch a break. In any case, I spelled the lady’s name wrong. It is Heidi Mund. Check out this video. I think Jesus would be pleased: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jD4bvYNBjm4
It is interesting that she has a Menorah at her home. She doesn’t seem to be anti-Semitic. Maybe she is a Jew for Jesus. She really gave that yodeling imam what for…

Yep. The Germans are the first Europeans to grow a pair. Europe’s understandable rejection of nationalism since the intolerance of Nazi nightmare – has left them vulnerable to attack by the onslaught of middle-eastern cavemen. But in fact, the muslams were allied with Hitler via their potentate in pajamas – the Grand Mufti. Americans would do well to listen carefully to Geert Wilders. It may well be too late for him to save Holland. Europe is falling like dominoes.

Thank you for educating me on that. I grew up Catholic in the States so had no idea about Martin Luther and his views on the Jews. Check out this article about the Judensau at the church at Wittenberg:

In 2009 Newsweek’s price-per-issue on newsstands was $5.95.
Once a prized asset of the (Washington) Post Company, Newsweek lost almost $30 million in 2009 amid catastrophic circulation and advertising declines.
Sidney Harman paid $1.00 for Newsweek in 2010.
Last I knew, Newsweek is owned by the Moonies – Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church.

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”–Matthew 6:5-6

The result of inbreeding 1400 years is violent, merciless primitives in pajamas. The longer modern man cowers to socially-retarded, chromosome-damaged, stone-age misogynists and pedophiles to avoid violence, the more gruesome the ultimate conflagration will be. We must not submit to the demented tyranny of their frenzied, barbaric, retrograde, inbred culture. The civilized world has evolved beyond the mentality of a brutal pedophile who called himself a prophet. Pity the unfortunate females enslaved, mutilated, and often mercilessly killed in that degenerate, irrationally macho oppression.
“Islam is as dangerous in a man as rabies in a dog.” ~ Sir Winston Churchill
“Islam was not a torch as has been claimed, but an extinguisher. Conceived in a barbarous brain for the use of a barbarous people, it was – and it remains – incapable of adapting itself to civilization. Wherever it has dominated, it has broken the impulse towards progress and checked the evolution of society.” ~ André Servier
“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” ~ Manuel II Palaiologos – 14th century Byzantine Emperor

The real death-threat that is being posed is that death-threat against non-Muslims, assembled through the censorship of the free press, free from accountability & the death-threats against non-Muslims in the Islamic core-texts.
[People think the Nazis were just German. Truth is the Nazis were heavily influenced by Islam. ] There’s a movement, a movement towards responsibility, accountability, to stand up for truth & human rights globally against the unethical Islamic ideology.
This movement deserves respect. It is more noble than the sadist & racist teachings of Muhammad. & it excludes no one. It’s universal & everyone can join. It involves everyone & excludes & excuses no one from responsibility.
It’s the new religion: atheist, rational & human-rights-bound.
# Ban Islam, save lives worldwide & free Asia Bibi, Salim Masih, the Leavenworth 10, the Biafra-leader, the African slaves from Saudi Arabia to Mauritania, Israeli soldier Azaria & so on.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.” ~ Anti Nazi Reverend Martin Niemoller
