BERLIN (Reuters) - German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel urged Saudi Arabia on Sunday to stop supporting religious radicals, amid growing concern among some lawmakers in Berlin about the funding of militant mosques by the world's biggest oil exporter.
The unusual criticism of the Gulf state follows a report by Germany's foreign intelligence agency which suggested that Saudi foreign policy was becoming more "impulsive".
The German government rebuked the BND agency for making such suggestions about Saudi Arabia, an important business partner that is involved in international talks to find a political solution to the Syria crisis..
"We need Saudi Arabia to solve the regional conflicts," Sigmar Gabriel, the head of the Social Democrats (SPD) who share power with conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel, told the mass-circulation newspaper Bild am Sonntag.
"But we must at the same time make clear that the time to look away is past. Wahhabi mosques are financed all over the world by Saudi Arabia. In Germany, many dangerous Islamists come from these communities," he said.

Or is it fear of their impending un-election, as what happened today in France?
This has been going on for at least 30 years. I noticed it in Great Britain when a Saudi pushed me off the sidewalk in London. How many decades behind must our leaders be? Obama is 60 years behind this (or 40 years ahead because he really loves and supports islam).
He should send them a harshly worded letter.
Saudi Arabia seems to have a lot of loot, and oil, and terrorists. I wonder if Hussein will bring this up during his gun confiscation speech tonight.
SOMEBODY’S doing the funding!!!
And we all know who has the deepest pockets and most history of funding terror. Jeoprady could run a question on it, if they dared. It’s that well known.
How much is being put into a Swiss account for Barry for selling out?
The Islamic Sunnis and Saudis have been the major problem to the west for decades through 9-11, USS Cole, ISIS, IEDs in Iraq while our incompetent pols try to deflect and project Shiites as the threat.
Where are the unredacted classified 29 pages of the 9-11 report that accuses Saudis of collaboration with the attackers? The reality is Saudis are in bed with our corrupt pols of both Parties who give them cover.
They've turned profoundly in the last 10-15 years.
Maybe ImanObama will cut off the Saudi $$$billions$$$ that’s been building and funding these terrorist=murderer-teaching mosques in USA, too?
Maybe that’s what he will announce this evening to us in his ‘speech’ —?
We’re SO glad we have such a nice, loyal American President!
/s
It’s about time. The House of Saud is not our friend. It’s the House of Bush friend, but not our Country’s friend. Saudi’s play both sides against the middle, to the Western world’s detriment.
Barry is a ghazi with a true muslim hate of America. There is no love present.
He is doing everything in his power to diminish, marginalize, demoralize, bankrupt America and disable its military so she cannot defend herself.
What he has done is doubled down by giving his proxy brethren ~Iran~ the power to go nuclear so they can finish off what he started.
He needs to be grabbed, tried for his treason immediately so someone can restore sanity to the world.
This falker does not need a swiss account nor 72 the virgins, he is doing everything out of pride for islam.
Swiss accounts aren’t as anonymous as they once were. OTOH there’s reports about how much swag the Saudis have given the Obamas.
It’s not just Barry. Both Parties are full of corruption intended to undercut most Americans for the sake of their establishment moneyed supporters. There is nothing wrong with having money except when it is used to corrupt our country.
Trump only illustrates exactly how most weasel pols are merely shoe shine boys for the moneyed oligarchs and elites, while the USA and average Americans are seing our nation sucked dry by their corruption and crony capitalism.
You can be sure that Obama will be worth hundreds of millions of dollars if and when he leaves office. He'll have millions given to him by the Saudis and millions "donated" by the US Treasury.
How Obama is going to explain his wealth on a 400K salary for eight years is another thing. But I don't expect the ugly, corrupt American media will dwell on the topic for very long. Just look at how they've ignored the Clinton's unexplained wealth. But be assured that the media will give Trump, should he win the election, the longest most vicious financial anal exam in history.
Yep.
100% correct.
The American political establishment is utterly corrupt.
Anyone in Congress or POTUS who got elected with somebody else's money, is no longer for sale.
They've been bought.
Dear Saudis, please stop radicalizing all those millions of muslims we stupidly allowed into our country! Please!
Yes, by all means. He should politely ask them to cut it out.
It will also involve the confiscation of all Saudi wealth and control of travel to and from the Middle East.
If the ragheads aren't willing to work and play well with others, they'll have to be spanked and sent to the timeout corner.
What did other Britons say or do?
He was forcing everyone to walk around him. He was being trailed by women. In those days, the women wore this small metal face mask that fitted over the nose. Creepy.
