Moderate "European" Islam: Stemming Terror with Band Aids - Judith Bergman (Gatestone Instiute) Encouraging Muslims toward a more moderate "European" Islam is an old idea, but has not yet succeeded in practice anywhere in Europe and its specific nature remains largely undefined. Qatar and Saudi Arabia, where the official form of Islam is Wahhabism, are the main financiers of mosques in Europe. Wahhabism discourages Muslim integration in the West, but actively encourages jihad against non-Muslims. Qatar has financed mosques in France, Italy, Ireland and Spain, among other places, thus spreading Wahhabism across the continent.
