In a statement to Russian channel REN TV, a leading Imam of a Salafist mosque in Cologne has blamed women for being sexually assaulted. Imam Sami Abu-Yusuf, the head of a mosque affiliated with the fundamentalist Salafi movement, claimed that attacked women were responsible for "dressing inappropriately and wearing perfume", news and opinion website Breitbart reported.

Don't add fuel to fire

The Imam told the interviewer: “we need to react properly, and not to add fuel to the fire”, speaking of the hundreds of women who were groped, sexually assaulted and even raped by migrant men across German cities like Cologne. “The events of New Year’s Eve were the girls own fault, because they were half naked and wearing perfume. It is not surprising the men wanted to attack them." Sami Abu-Yusuf heads the Al Tawheed mosque in Cologne’s Kalk neighbourhood, which preaches a jihadist version of Islam. The very same mosque was part of a raid by counter terror officers in 2004.

To say that Salafism is a problem in Germany is an understatement - there have been riots with hundreds of men, "armed with kebab skewers, knives, and iron bars (who) clashed with police and Kurds on the streets of Hamburg", and a regularised recruiting campaign to rope in newly arrived migrants.

Such victim blaming isn't uncommon among the radical Muslim community

Pakistani politician Maulana Fazlur Rehman said in June last year that "women wearing jeans can cause earthquakes and inflation."
