Erasmus monitor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erasmus Monitor is a German blog that closely observes the jihadist scene and focuses on German Salafists and jihadists .

Goal setting

The journalistic-scientific blog was created in December 2014 as a project by the South German political scientist Heiner Vogel. Vogel explained the objective in the magazine of Exit Deutschland , a government-sponsored dropout program for right-wing extremists , to derive connections between the Salafism scene and jihad. The name of the project is intended to recall one of the most important humanists of the Renaissance, Erasmus of Rotterdam . As a writer, he repeatedly turned against the Church and at the same time pleaded for peace and religious freedom . The blog arose from a student project during Vogel's master's degree that tried to find out why young people are pulling into jihad.

In line with its self-portrayal, the blog focuses on “ observing and describing the origins and characteristics of militant Salafism” . In doing so, he differentiates between the individual actors and groups in the scene in Europe, the Middle East and Chechnya .

reception

In connection with doubts about the Pentagon -Meldung of death Denis Cusperts in a US air strike the referenced ARD -Nachrichtenportal Tagesschau.de Erasmus monitor as intense observers of the jihadist scene, the Bayerische Rundfunk reported on the blog that he was "the The jihadist scene is closely observed and is considered to be well informed ”. The ZDF broadcast Die Anstalt referenced the Erasmus monitor in relation to German suicide bombers. The star portrayed Vogel's work in September 2015 and wrote about him: " Master who has sneaked into this conspiratorial milieu out of scientific interest, who wants to clarify which Germans want to join IS and why, therefore behaves conspiratorially himself."

Newspapers and magazines such as Süddeutsche Zeitung , Der Spiegel , Die Zeit and Bild also count among the leading German media and name the Erasmus Monitor as a direct source for reports on jihadists. Numerous other print media such as Stern , Die Welt , Frankfurter Rundschau , Hamburger Abendblatt , Rheinische Post , Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger , Kölnische Rundschau , Abendzeitung , Berliner Zeitung , Stuttgarter Nachrichten , tz , Mitteldeutsche Zeitung and Hürriyet quote the Erasmus monitor directly as necessary Link in your online offer to the blog or its Twitter messages.

The authors of the blog are anonymous and may justify this. a. with security aspects as a silent observer of the jihadist scene, which, according to the blog, mainly acts conspiratorially and underground . The blog operators therefore appeal to journalists in particular to check the facts that have been taken up very carefully before they publish articles. You should not blindly rely on anonymous blogs whose sources and creators are unknown. This also includes the adoption of entire article passages in your own reports without naming the author.
