[It is] wrong to suspect converts to Islam: German prosecutor
It would be wrong to cast a general cloud of suspicion over converts to Islam, German Attorney General Monika Harms said Thursday, following the smashing last week of an alleged Islamist terrorist cell. The revelation that two of those arrested on September 4 for planning potentially devastating bomb attacks against US targets in Germany were Germans who had adopted Islam provoked debate on the radicalization of converts. Speaking to Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa in an interview, Harms said many converts to Islam were peaceful, although watchfulness was needed.But she added: "We can't cast suspicion on entire population groups. That's not acceptable, and nobody wants that." Posted by: Seafarious 2007-09-15 |
