German Chancellor Scholz says Islamist rally will be met with 'consequences'

More than 1,000 people participated in the demonstration in Hamburg on Saturday, with some calling for the establishment of a caliphate.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that there will be “consequences” after a large Islamist rally in Hamburg raised alarm over the weekend.

More than 1,000 people demonstrated in the northern German city, with some holding posters calling for the imposition of Sharia law and the establishment of a caliphate.

The demonstration was linked to the "Muslim Interactive" group, which Germany's domestic intelligence services classify as an extremist organisation.

At a press conference alongside the prime minister of Montenegro, Scholz said, "It is quite clear that all Islamist activities must be tackled using the possibilities and options of our constitutional state."

He added that any criminal acts would be prosecuted.

Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser posted on X, formerly Twitter, that "anyone who wants a caliphate has come to the wrong place in Germany".

The protest comes as the German government faces criticism for failing to adequately protect Muslims and people perceived to be Muslims from discrimination, with Human Rights Watch says that Germany lacks a working definition on anti-Muslim racism.

“The German government’s failings in protecting Muslims from hatred and discrimination starts with a lack of understanding that Muslims experience racism and not simply faith-based hostility,” said Almaz Teffera, a researcher at the NGO.

“Without a clear understanding of anti-Muslim hate and discrimination in Germany and strong data on incidents and community outreach, a response by the German authorities will be ineffective.”

By end of September 2023, the government’s preliminary hate crime statistics for the year had counted 686 “anti-Islamic” crimes, surpassing the 610 recorded for all of 2022.

Hey there, Germany, how's all that diversity and tolerance working out for you? Had enough of it yet?

Also, I like the call for a "caliphate' in Germany. Because without hate you can't have a caliphate!

Unfortunate but Germany you let these savages into your nation. Sadly, we are doing the same on our end.

“Muslim Nazis - I thought Germany stopped doing that crap”

The Germans used to say ‘Never Again’ but somewhere in the past twenty years or so they looked at the Muslims demanding to enter Europe and said, “What the heck, let’s give it another try!”

Who or what is the “Human Rights Watch”

Who sponsors that organization? What is their mission?

Germany's Largest Right-Wing Extremist Group is Turkish, not German

The Red-Green coalition is more frightened of political challenges from Alice Weidel and Sahra Wagenknecht than from the REAL threat -- Islam and its Turkish wing. That's because the current beta-male Greens would rather "fight" women than Turks.
