al-Murabitun (Sufism)
al-Murābiṭūn ( Arabic المرابطون 'Those posted in a garrison') means a Sufi group in Morocco that was founded in the 1970s in Granada, Spain by Abdalqadir as-Sufi ; the term is also interpreted as “divine warriors stationed in fortified monasteries”. Originally this name referred to the Almoravids (al-Murābiṭūn) and was then adopted.
history
The founder is the Scottish actor and Sufi Ian Dallas, who converted to Islam in Fez . Initially, the Murabitun consisted mainly of converted Europeans and Americans, but now include Muslims from many countries and continents, with communities in Spain, Germany, England, Switzerland, Denmark, South Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey and Mexico. The Murabitun are considered to be the inventors of the new gold dinar , a currency counter to the dollar.
Its German branch is the " Islamic Community in Germany / Weimar Institute ", founded in 1995 and based in Erfurt. The leadership of the Weimar Institute publishes the German-language publication " Islamische Zeitung " (IZ) in Berlin. The IZ editor, Andreas Abu Bakr Rieger , was a member of the Islamic Council .
classification
The former Islamic advisor at the Berlin Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, Johannes Kandel , describes the Murabitun movement as a “fundamentalist political sect”. Friedmann Eißler from the Evangelical Central Office for Weltanschauungsfragen sees the group as a “modern caliphate movement that combines a mixture of anti-capitalism and clearly anti-Semitic tones. An anti-imperialism that partly combines with right-wing, including right-wing extremist positions ”.
