Salafism is a form of Islam that seeks to bring the religion’s practice back to its original form as delineated by the first Muslims in the seventh century. While not all Salafists are violent, those that are support bringing the world under a global caliphate ruled by sharia (Islamic) law.

Salafism has increased dramatically in Germany in 2015, according to a survey commissioned by German security services.

The report, conducted by Focus Online, showed that between January and June of 2015, there has been a 25 percent increase in German Muslims identifying themselves as Salafists. This unprecedented jump compares to the usual annual increase of about six percent.

As of June, estimates show that 7,900 people identify as Salafists, versus 6,300 at the beginning of the year.

Salafists also believe, among other anti-Western doctrines, that democracy must be eradicated, because it is a man-made form of government.

Last month, the head of Germany’s intelligence services warned Germany’s Salafists were aggressively recruiting migrants who have arrived in Germany by the hundreds of thousands.

“We have in recent weeks increasingly seen attempts by Salafists to register as workers in refugee camps,” he said at the time.

Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV), regards the Salafist groups as a threat to German security. However, Salafists have had a free reign in the country, even though Salafist preachers are known regularly to preach hatred against the West in mosques and prayer centers across Germany.

Salafists have also been at the forefront of conversion and recruitment campaigns in Germany, a phenomenon documented over recent years.

In 2012, Salafists launched an unprecedented nationwide campaign called Project “Read!” to distribute 25 million free copies of the Quran translated into German. The goal was to place one Quran into every household in Germany.

In 2014, it was reported that at least 25 schools across Hamburg had been infiltrated by Salafists and other fundamentalist Muslim groups, according to German media reports.
