Authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia are the first in Germany to be working on an opt-out and prevention programme for Salafists, with the goal of reaching people before they get involved in radical Islamist groups.
Burkhard Freier, head of the state's Office for the Protection of the Constitution, told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper that it is difficult to get people out of radical groups once they've joined.
Freier said his office will work closely together with Muslim organisations to provide ways people can opt out of the groups before becoming too entrenched.
