A street in Salt
magnet has an ally in Menda, who in his prayer requests by the "mujahideen"
Attaouil and Imam Mohammed Rachid drive from his stronghold Menda Salt, to other parts of Spain, the alarming spread of Salafism, the most radical stream of Islam, which preaches non-integration of Muslims in the "corrupt" Western society.
Attaouil, which has enabled an illegal mosque in the town of Gerona, manipulates the City Hall (Socialist) to stand as a community partner that he can only manage and from which in recent years have promoted numerous incidents. Her radicalism causes extreme discomfort among Muslims of the town, which so far are silent because they fear. Menda Attaouil and make a perfect symbiosis for the propagation of the most fundamentalist of Islam Online. The first is the real brain, while the magnet acts as the voice of his master. In its radical cleric than to Lleida, Abdelwahab Houzi, Wahhabi leader.
In 2007, Mohammed Attaouil Salt City Council got permission to open a cultural association called Al Hilal (The Crescent). In the end, however, proved to be a cover to enable a place of prayer-AN Nour (Light) -. That the grant of license to install a mosque requires stricter conditions than Attaouil was not willing to accept. Despite this irregularity, four years after the chapel remains open.
Attaouil appointed Rachid Menda magnet, which has the dubious honor of being among the three most fanatical clerics in Spain, despite his youth, and who has not attained the age of 30. Radical His speech often leads to ask for the "mujahideen" fighting in places like Afghanistan and Iraqi troops in Europe and the U.S.. The sermons of Imam Menda not fall on deaf ears. Of the 30,000 inhabitants in Salt, about 5,000 are immigrants of Muslim origin, most of them Moroccans. Jordi Pujol in front of the Generalitat, promoted the arrival of immigrants from the Maghreb, which was taught in Catalan, Castilian but not to the detriment of the South Americans. the end, the 'pull' has not only increased the presence of Muslims in Salt, do not integrate, among other reasons, because people like Attaouil handle are installed in more orthodox Islam and exclusive.
Freedom
movements The propagators of Islamic fundamentalism in Spain, including himself Attaouil have in Congress that Salafis an effective instrument for proselytizing. They go "wise men" in line with this trend. And not just from Saudi Arabia, Egypt or Jordan, but also, and what can be more disturbing, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Having recent European citizenship, do not need visas to enter Spain. So in most cases are known of their presence when they are already in our country, where they have total freedom of movement. Tend to hold these conferences Salafis, subsidized in many cases by citizens of Saudi Arabia, on days that coincide with Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter, a challenge to the mainstream traditions of placement. Speak to an audience very large-sometimes close to 3,000 people, and usually with a low cultural profile, making the audience into a breeding ground for the shooting including the most fundamentalist discourse. Community
segregated
Salafism is the more primitive and fundamentalist interpretation of Islam. Defend an involution, returning to the time of the Prophet in order to profess Islam as stickler as did Mohammed. In short, the promoters of its expansion in Spain want to form a community that was segregated from the host society and that applies to a justice based on the Shariah and not the laws.
But, in addition to proselytizing, these conferences are an important source of funding, as organizers raise money among the attendees. Some of them, with resources, have come to donate more than 4,000 or 5,000 euros.
The "caliph" and the cleric Mohammed Rachid Attaouil Menda have much to do with the fact that Salt is currently regarded as the "Muslim capital 'of Spain. The dreaded Ataouil has woven an extensive network of informers who report of what is happening in various mosques established in Catalonia and elsewhere. Thus has a "blacklist" of magnets did not agree with the fundamentalism of this trend. Magnets which gives the corresponding correction. Known powerful, because it supports influential people of Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Salafism.
From Salt, this current is spreading to fundamentalist forces other Catalan municipalities, as Lleida, El Vendrell, Villanova ... And so worrisome Catalonia progresses to other parts of Spain, and Valladolid, Guadalajara, Valencia, Basque Country and Madrid, where concerns focus being installed in the Corredor del Henares. In this expansion, Attaouil provides an important logistical work.
This "Caliph" of Salafism, a man of financial resources for its various businesses, offers volunteer as an NGO is involved, its support of Muslim immigrants who ask him. In return, he demands loyalty unwavering. Thus it has reached a considerable number of followers, he has done, for example, to handle the nearly 5,000 Muslims residing in Salt. From there it has aupado as a mediator between the Council, now chaired by the socialist Yolanda Pineda, and the Muslim community that ensures control.
This paper thus far has proved profitable, because he practiced opportunistically during the serious incidents in this county gerundés last January. The trigger was the death of a child Morocco days after jumping from a fifth floor when the police fled after being caught driving a stolen motorcycle. It lived days of tension between the neighbors, tired of the growing insecurity and anti-immigrants who are criminalized. Attaouil "sold" to the Consistory well thanks to its role in mediating the incidents had not been a plus.
