Islam in Algeria
The recent rise of a number of radical religious movements involving Ahmadism, Salafism, Shiism, Wahhabism and takfiri ideology have raised concerns among officials in the Algerian Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments, which has decided to take action by strengthening the monitoring and control of places targeted by the radical Islamists for recruits.
