The Salafist group Millatu Ibrahim was outlawed and DawaFFM and DWR are being investigated by authorities in seven German states in an operation that began at 6 a.m. local time today, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. The groups are accused of threatening Germany’s security with their potential for violence and radical adherence to Islamic Shariah law.
