is believed to have been radicalized online by a German hate preacher and Islamist influencer with a huge social media following.
When the mosque eventually closed its doors in 2020 during the COVID pandemic, Baraa took his preaching to social media where his following among younger generations exploded. German officials have apparently been concerned about the apparent “TikTok-ization of Salafism,” the outlet said.Meanwhile, some Salafists — who are strict Sunni Muslims — include those wanting to invoke Sharia law and militants advocating violence to establish states they might regard as representing true Islam,
Austrian officials handling the probe have said the online self-radicalization of the teen unfolded quickly. Several said that he had grown a long beard and had become more serious in the run-up to the foiled plot. Investigators found bomb-making materials at the main suspect’s home and at least one explosive device was already in the process of being built, according to officials.Like the alleged mastermind, the two younger suspects both have shown ties to ISIS.
