Meet the Controversial German Imam Accused of Brutally Beating His Wife & Pushing Sharia Law

CBNs Erick Stakelbeck Sits Down With Germanys Sheikh Abu Adam

CBN News’ Erick Stakelbeck (also a TheBlaze TV contributor) knows a thing or two about terrorism. The reporter and host has spent a plethora of time interviewing key figures and delving into the troubling international threat that continues to grow.

In a new report, Stakelbeck claims that Germany is facing a new radical threat — the rise of Salafism, a movement he calls “an extreme brand of Islam that preaches hatred of Christians and Jews.” The reporter provides some context as to the problems that have been occurring in the nation of late:

In June, 1,000 police fanned out across Germany. They targeted the homes, schools, and mosques of Salafi Muslims.

Salafis model themselves after Islam’s prophet, Mohammed, and his followers and strictly follow Islamic sharia law.

Their ideology encourages violent jihad and is shared by al Qaeda and many other Islamic terror groups. It‘s now taking hold among a small but growing number of Germany’s 4.3 million Muslims.

“We have a really dynamic growing Salafi scene,” German journalist Franz Feyder said. “Some of the security officers tell us that we have about 5,000 Salafis in Germany.”

Feyder follows Germany’s Salafi scene closely.

“The Salafi movement in Germany is creating an environment for violence and radicalization,” he told CBN News. “Not every Salafist is a terrorist, but every terrorist is a Salafist.”

In a recent interview accompanying the report, Stakelbeck also sat down with Sheikh Abu Adam, an Islamic leader who runs the Darul Quran Mosque in Munich. Adam dislikes the “Salafi” term and told the reporter that he simply prefers to be called a “Muslim.” While he strikes a tone of moderation, local officials believe that something more sinister may be at play — and they’ve visited his mosque to investigate.

While German authorities dub Adam’s mosque as potentially problematic, he claims, in contrast, that he has helped fight against terrorism. His congregants, too, have reportedly done the same. When asked why he’s being targeted despite his alleged counter-terrorism work, Adam told Stakelbeck that he simply doesn’t understand the charges being waged against him.

“I don’t know,” he said. “All of my students, all — I don’t have any exception — they are fighting against terrorism and they are very integrated in the society. All of them are very kind, loving people. They laugh. They communicate with all people.”

Despite the faith leader’s denial, Stakelbeck provides some problematic details about his background:

Yet the sheikh has engaged in violence of his own.

In 2010, he made international headlines when he was accused of brutally beating one of his wives [he has three], breaking her nose and shoulder.

He reportedly yelled Koranic verses during the attack and refused to let police enter the apartment. The wife would not press charges.

Also last year, a German television crew filmed Adam presiding over sharia courts in his mosque that operate outside of German law.

    Women vote Democratic because their feminist sisters tell them to. Democrats including our Muslim President support the Muslim terrorist cause. Muslims treat their cattle better than they treat women, which often include beatings. Logical conclusion, women enjoy being beaten and support those that do it.

    A careful study of the Koran and the other three “holy” books of Islam, together with the history of the movement, reveals that in essence it is the worship of Lucifer, or as he is more commonly known Satan. Their end-of-days eschatology is similar to that of the Christians and Jews. However, their messiah corresponds with our anti-Christ. Jesus is seen as just another prophet, that he did not really die, that upon His return He will smash all the crosses, claim that Christianity is a fraud, and order all on earth to convert to Islam or He will kill them. What we are involved in is a spiritual war for the survival of the human race that is as old as time itself. If you check the history of Mohammed himself and his wives, you will discover that he was a pedophile. Rather than go through all of my research (very time-consuming), just read Walid Shoebat’s book “God’s War on Terror.” Shoebat was a dedicated Moslem, raised to hate Christians, Jews and Moslems not of his sect, trained as a terrorist himself until he found a Bible and studied to refute its claims. Through that the Holy Spirit led him to become a believer in Jesus Christ.

      (5:74) The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger, messenger (the like of whom) had passed away before him. And his mother was a saintly woman. And they both used to eat food. See how they are turned away!

      The Trinity is ONE not three. Mohammad and his buddies did not understand this Christian concept.

      God manifests as Father, Son, and Spirit — three yet one. The Father, Son, and Spirit are of ONE essence, not three. They have distinct FUNCTIONS in dealing with creation. The Son shows how to be obedient. The Spirit comforts and encourages. The Father creates and disciplines. Three distinct functions yet ONE BEING.

      Blue Shepard – please tell me you are not that Naive. Maybe you should tune in the the DNC and watch the Prayer given by a Muslim in replace of Cardinal Dolin. Or maybe you should notice that this Administration demonizes Christianity and lift up Muslim Sharia Law. Sharia is of the Devil and Satan has a huge foot hold in this Administration, and his Media. We all will see with our own eyes, Satan Superbowl as he takes down America. Then those of you can all ask, how did this happen.

      I heard of this coming 18 years ago, when I got out of the “Go Alone to Get Alone, Good Samaritan, turn the other cheek Church” and got into a Church were the Pastor has the guts to teach from the Bible. I assure you God is not going to turn the other cheek when he comes back and tosses Satan and his worshiper into the lake of fire. The Bible CLEARLY teaches us how to discern, true for false, and good from evil. We wright off Obama worshiper as Morons or useful idiots. They simple are lost soles and they too, will one day find out that they were deceived, when it is too late, on Judgement Day.

      I do miss the great chicken casseroles the ladies made in my old church of the High Steeple of Few People, but I’ll let my taste bud suffer for the Word of God anyway. Wake up Pastors! Start teaching from the Word of God – your flock of sheep are hungry!

      We do give the Bible away — heard of the Gideons?

      To make sense of the koran, it needs to be put into chronological order rather than the current order which is based on the length of a sura (chapter).

      To make sense of the koran, you need to read the haddith, too. FYI for those who are unfamiliar — the haddith is one of the three sources of islamic scriptures.

    Look people, your own President has invited the president of ISNA to the White House for dinner. ISNA, along with CAIR and NAIT, was named as an “unindiccted co-conspirator” at the conclusion of the Holy Land Foundation terror trial. Am I concerned about a german Imam who beats women and wants to kill infidels?

    Sure I am; but, I’m much more concerned when a federal judge names 264 individuals and organizations as provable associates of Hamas.

      This administration is going out of it way to get around 2nd amendment and disarming veterans and other as mental and locking them up. Even when they get out because it was illegal what they did, their lives will never be the same. Employment and gun purchase background checks will say “placed in in-patient mental institution against will” or something to that effect.

      ISLAM is not a RELIGION. ISLAM Is NOT A FAITH of any type. ISLAM is a brutal IDEOLOGY that has one goal: The domination of EARTH. There is NO TALKING to these animals. NO PEACE possible unless they win it all. OBAMA is MUSLIM (what they call Islamics..it‘s not two separate ’religions’ for those who have not paid any attention) THE MUSLIM “FAITH” is the FAITH OF ISLAM. ISLAMICS are MUSLIMS. They worship the Qu’ran (Cu -ran) a “RULE BOOK” made up 700 AD (700 years after Christianity and thousands of years after Judaism (Jewish) Using bits and pieces of both the OLD and NEW TESTAMENT. Arab Chieftans – wishing to control their uncontrollable tribes thought if they could ‘copy the Jews and Christians’ their tribe members would behave. They made up Mohammed or he existed but was nothing like a Messiah; LOOK AT THEIR FRUIT!!! They have to FORCE their people to pray; they threaten their lives if they try to leave the ‘faith’; they want to kill GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE. They acknowledge JESUS but only as a PROPHET; THEY have TWO MESSIAHS (there are two main branches of ISLAM: SHi’ITE and SUNNI and they are at war all the time EACH CLAIMS THEIR OWN MESSIAH…They are taught that lying, cheating, murdering whatever is fine if it moves them toward their goal of world domination. They almost succeeded 1000 years ago and had conquered most of the existing world but were stopped by the TURKS.

      They were beaten badly but went back to the M.E. and all these years have plotted to do this again. This time they used immigration and multiplication. They went to Spain, France, England, Germany and
      Netherlands (and many other places) and set up Islam in those nations, did not become integrated in any of them but took all they could in welfare etc. and built their own “country-within a country” .
      The other factions in the world, seeking every more wealth like that b@stard George Soros encouraged them because he wanted to see the destruction of England (for example) and the USA so he could come in and buy up the USA for 10c on the dollar. Iran and the SAUDIS used them to take over all the M.E. and the OIL we’ve been paying for created the greatest stock pile of wealth the world has ever seen…in the M.E.
