A German Islamist preacher was arrested in Germany on Tuesday for recruiting fighters for a militant group in Syria and purchasing and delivering military equipment, the Federal Prosecutor's Office said.
Sven Lau, 35, is suspected of recruiting Germans living in and around the western German city of Duesseldorf to fight abroad and was believed to have recruited two fighters already, the office said in a statement.
Hundreds of Germans have left the country to join Islamic State in Syria and Iraq since 2012, the interior ministry says.
Lau is a member of a wing of a group called the Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar (Muhajireen Brigade) which the prosecutor said supported IS.
The interior ministry of North-Rhine Westphalia state where Lau was arrested said he was suspected of supporting a "terrorist" organization abroad under the guise of providing humanitarian aid.
The state's interior minister, Ralf Jaeger said Lau was considered a leading light among Germany's Salafist groups which he said encouraged young men to join jihadist groups in Iraq and Syria.
Salafist preachers used propaganda that glorified violence and radicalized young men under the pretence of helping suffering people, he said.

Muslim Cleric Released After Serving Three Years in Norway For Threats

Krekar was released in Norway after serving nearly three years for making death threats against a politician and intimidating witnesses. He was arrested again in late February following a TV interview in which he called for Islamic violence.

When it comes to what happened in France, naturally I am happy that it happened,” Krekar said, referring to the deadly attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
That attack, which left a dozen people dead and was the beginning of further violence, was a response to the magazine’s publishing of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad — and Krekar said it was justified.
“The cartoonist has become an infidel at war, and therefore it is permissible to kill him,” Krekar said. “As he has trampled on our dignity, our principles and beliefs, so he must die. Anyone who does not respect 30 percent of the world’s population has no right to live.”
He also said he would “send a gift” to anyone who murdered someone for burning the Koran.

Muslim Recruits in Prisons

[From article]
"The Wahabbi/Salafist sect of Islam adheres to a strict interpretation of the Koran and aims to restore the caliphate form of government, functioning under Sharia law. It views Jews and other groups of nonbelievers as infidels and enemies of Islam."
