Muslims demonstrated against terror in Cologne yesterday. Expected were 10 tousand, actually just 3 thousand came. The DITIB, an organisation controlled by the Turkish govenrment, refused to join, so did another of the major Muslim lobby groups.

However, one has to ask some questions on whether the demonstration really was "a sign against terrorism" and a call for Islam to clean itself from its violent heritage and to critivcally reflect on it sown violent seed, or was just a welcomed opportunity to once again claim that "Islam has nothing to do with it". Self-victimization, and rejecting any responsibility of the Quran for the over 200 passages where it calls for violence against and supression of infidels, were the real intention behind it, most likely.

Necla Kelek, the author,
is a German sociologist with Turkish-Cherkessian roots and with special reputation for Islamic society and Islam. She is known to ask critical questions that are politically not opportune and are not wanted to be heard, thats why she is often confronted, ignored, defamed and kept away from discussion -
although she is one of Germany's leading experts on Islam. Its just that she is about real Islam, not the wanted cuddly illusion that politically is wanted to be mistaken for Islam. She points out that one of the main supporters of that demonstration is a leading scholar of a town that is a centre of Salafism in germany, a town that saw two dozen IS recruits leaving for Syria and Iraq, five of which were students of this scholar. She says:
"Like the Nazis belonged to Germany, so do terrrorists belong to the Ummah, and Islamism belongs to Islam."
Ooops - has she a direct wire into my brain? I am saying the very same.
