A few days following the expulsion of Imam Hassan Iquioussen from Belgium, it is Germany’s turn to expel another preacher of Moroccan origin, Abdelattif Rouali, who is accused of “hate preacher”.
Islamist preacher Abdelattif Rouali has been expelled from Germany to Morocco, according to Focus Online, citing the German Interior Ministry. As a result, German law prohibits readmission once morest radical Islamic Salafists during a stay abroad last year. At the same time, he was wanted in the Schengen area, because at the end of 2022 he would have entered the Schengen area illegally via Italy,” a ministry spokesperson said. A manhunt led to his arrest. He was then expelled on January 5.
Rouali has been active for the Islamist missionary network Dawa FFM since 2008. He is said to have maintained numerous contacts in the radical Islamic Salafist scene. One of them was assassin Arid Uka, who killed two US soldiers at Frankfurt airport in 2011. After Dawa FFM was banned in 2013, Rouali became increasingly militant, Focus Online notes. . The outlet adds that Rouali had close contact with the Salafist preacher known as Abu Walaa, who is considered the highest representative of the Islamic State jihadist militia in Germany. The latter was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison in 2021 for belonging to a terrorist organization.
