The Dawah Movement has been catapulted into new dimensions. The renown international speaker Pierre Vogel presented an Islamic lecture in front of 500 audience in Germany 2 days ago. Three women openly accepted Islam and were warmly welcomed with a takbeer that shook the entire city. Something that seems so strange to us here in the UK is nothing new for Pierre Vogel. The Da’ ee has spoken several times in front of big masses in Germany’s biggest cities. About 7 people in total accepted Islam. The Dawah Movement provides an alternative for young Muslim to engage and redefines their identity.
Mainstream Media outlets in the past used the immigration argument to render a whole generation as socially incompatible with German values. Studies, books suggested that young German with an ethnic background were more prone to commit crimes. Thilo Sarrazin the German politician, writer, published the controversial book “Deutschland schafft sich ab” (“Germany Is Abolishing Itself”) end of August 2010. The book became the highest sold book on politics by a German-language author in a decade, with overall sales hitting 1.1 million copiesand the first editions sold out within a matter of hours or days.
Sarrazin suggests in the book that many Arab and Turkish immigrants were unwilling to integrate. One of the key aspects of the book were related to immigration policies and the welfare System.The former member of the Executive Board of the “Deutsche Bank” is a well-known proponent for a restrictive immigration policy, on less educated immigrants. Furthermore remarks regarding Islam are in the book.
He sasy, among other things: “No other religion in Europe makes so many demands. No immigrant group other than Muslims is so strongly connected with claims on the welfare state and crime. No group emphasizes their differences so strongly in public, especially through women’s clothing. In no other religion is the transition to violence, dictatorship and terrorism so fluid.
What caused more tension was the support of high profiled politicians that failed to comprehend the real social problems many young Muslim are exposed to in Germany. Subsequently shocking results of the Polls suggested that almost half of the German population agree with Sarrazin’s political views and 18 percent would vote for his party if he started one. In a survey conducted for the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper among 10,000 Sarrazin readers, an overwhelming majority was shown to be male, middle-class, middle-aged to elderly, conservatives.
These very ideas that were shared with some of the Public members, authorities and politicians created the Gun Powder for the already heated atmosphere.Two years ago a similar public speaking event resulted to a chaotic brawl between attendees and the local police in Bonn, Germany. Piere Vogel is known to be an energetic Public speaker and has spoken in favour for Islam on national TV serveral times. A turning point in the Dawah Scene occurred when Adnan Rashid, john Fontain Hamza Tzoris, Musa Ibn Adnan, Suboor and Esa Khan on one stage conveying the message. A powerful Imagery of one of the leading figures in the world all together pronouncing Islam to be the only truth. Dawah Metropolis( london) and Dawah Al mania a possibility to be the leading Hubs for the new Dawah Front.
