Title:
Prevention of Islamist, Salafist and Jihadist radicalization in Germany: Government measures and programmes.

Abstract:
The current and imminent threat of Islamism, Salafism and Jihadism in Germany requires a supplement to intelligenceled policing and detection by state and civic prevention programmes. Depending on the progression of indoctrinationand radicalisation the moral concepts of the radicalised persons turn away from the European democratic societies – visibly and invisibly – what can absolutely be observed and deducted. At this point of the process of radicalisation prevention by aid of the personal surroundings, relatives, friends, the peer group, mosques and clubs has to be started. Only a nation-wide network approach of state and civic actors, especially the Muslim community, can lead to a successful and long-term prevention of Islamist, Salafist and Jihadist radicalisation.
