Germany: Police raid mosques to seize banned Saudi book

Police raided 30 mosques in Germany on Wednesday to seize all copies of a Saudi book which encourages wife-beating.


In the southern city of Stuttgart, police said Germany's national office for checking harmful books had objected to the German translation from Arabic of the book, entitled Women under the Protection of Islam.


Under German law, its chapter on corporal punishment of women was both discriminatory to women and an incitement to assault, a police spokesman said.
