Germany's Islamic Centre Hamburg shut down, called a 'front for Iran'

Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has closed down the Islamic Centre Hamburg, along with its "Blue Mosque", accusing it of propagating extremism and being "a front" for the Iranian government.

On Wednesday morning, hundreds of armed state policemen stormed Hamburg's Imam-Ali-Mosque, commonly referred to as "Blue Mosque" due to its turquoise facade, which is run by the Islamic Centre Hamburg (IZH).

Fifty-three institutions and mosques in five different states across Germany with alleged ties to the centre were also subject to raids. In addition to the centre in Hamburg, authorities banned nationwide subsidiaries in Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin.

In a video address published on X, Feaser accuses the association of pursuing goals that are anti-constitutional and praises the move as a step towards combatting "Islamist extremism". She accused the association of having close ties with Iran's leadership as well as Lebanon's Hezbollah.

According to a press release published Wednesday morning by the Ministry of the Interior, the raids began in November 2023, when state police confiscated material for evaluation from 55 institutions across Germany, allegedly securing "extensive evidence" in the form of documents, computers, mobile phones, and large sums of cash.

It's the Turks in their midst that are Germany's real problem. I'm betting that they are hoping Sunni antipathy for Shia Islam will blunt retribution for this.

We'll see.

Like 9/11 wasn’t enough of a warning for them? Atta and several of the hijackers met there.

Germany is F’ed.

Not happy to say that.

They are flooded with folks following Islam.

Not counting those born there and with a German passport, Germany has 1.46 million Turks, they took in something like 1.2 millions refugees from Syria under Merkel (A German equivalent of a US Globalist RINO)... Germany already has about 5.6 million or 6.1% of their population Muslim.

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2017/11/29/europes-growing-muslim-population/

Islam does not assimilate to any other culture. They will do the assimilating.

But here’s the real problem now. The fastest growing demographic is Muslims, because they have children, often 4, 5 or more, while the average German woman squeezes out 1.32. What do you think that will lead to in 35 years from now?

The hole their politicians dug for them, you cannot just crawl out of.

The sort of things you need to do to fix this problem are out of scope (not politically tenable).

It doesn’t stop the march for Europe to be converted to Eurabia.

Forgive my ignorance, but are the Turks there Sunni or Shia? I have heard Sunnis and Shias hate each other as much as they hate other cultures and religions.

Your tagline rocks, btw.

There are both. The Ottoman Empire was Sunni.

True, but in Germany they allow cracking down on Muslim terrorism only if it's blatantly anti-Semitic. Germany is trying to distance itself from its Holocaust past, which they have IMHO. Thus, violence against Jews gives the Germans the political ammo to act.

What amazes me is how deep this has all gone, in ALL of Europe, the Netherlands, the UK, etc. and WAY too much of the USA.

There is no doubt in my Military Mind that we will be experiencing much WORSE than 9/11 one day. None whatsoever. :(
