BREAKING: Islamist terrorist attack foiled in Germany – sympathisers of the terrorists attack a camera team during the police operation (VIDEO)

Seven young men, including several minors, are alleged to have plotted a terrorist-motivated attack and practised for it in the forest. The authorities have had the group in their sights for a long time. On Thursday morning, special police units were deployed in North Rhine-Westphalia to search flats. This may have prevented an attack.

In the district of Düren between Aachen and Cologne, 350 police forces under the direction of the State Protection Service searched the flats of the suspects. “The suspects are accused of preparing for a terrorist-motivated attack by using propaganda material of the foreign terrorist organisation “Islamic State”,” the Düsseldorf General Public Prosecutor’s Office and the police in Cologne reported in a joint statement.

“The background is the suspicion of the preparation of a serious crime endangering the state,” North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Herbert Reul (69, CDU) explained in a statement before informing the Interior Committee in the state parliament. “There was a suspicion that Islamist dangerous persons in Germany could be preparing an attack. At the centre of the investigation is a group of seven from the Düren area who have joined together to form an Islamist-terrorist network.”

The seven men are between 16 and 22 years old and, according to Reul, have contacts with members of the radical Islamist scene throughout the state and the country. Six of the accused have German passports, two of them also have Russian citizenship, and one has a Turkish passport.

Six of the men are even classified as “Islamist dangerous persons”, one is considered a so-called “relevant person of the Islamist spectrum”.

Reul went on to say that there had been sporadic meetings in other European countries. The group had “probably held some kind of Islamist training session in the forest” and trained there with cutting and stabbing weapons. According to the Minister of the Interior, no firearms were involved.

There had been indications that the men had been ” plotting attacks”. “However, according to our experience so far, there were no concrete plans for attacks,” said Reul. Last but not least, there were no arrests or arrest warrants.

Senior Public Prosecutor Mathias Proyer, spokesman for the Düsseldorf Public Prosecutor’s Office, also confirmed to tabloid BILD: “According to current investigative findings, there were no concrete plans for an attack. However, the evaluation of the evidence is still ongoing.”

All seven suspects, who were apparently caught completely off guard by the police operation in the morning, were reportedly caught in their homes and arrested for identification purposes.

The mission was mainly about finding and subsequently securing further evidence, said the Minister of the Interior. A machete, pepper spray, axes, knives, a telescopic baton and digital devices were found, which now have to be analysed.

Reul expressed his satisfaction with the operation. The case shows once again “that you need a lot of staying power” in such terrorism cases. “Our North Rhine-Westphalian security authorities have had it, because we have been investigating this case intensively for almost a year.

We are very vigilant, Reul said: “We intervene before it is too late. We will not allow terror to be carried out on German soil.”

The investigation, which is still far from being completed, is being led and coordinated by the Central Office for the Prosecution of Terrorism in North Rhine-Westphalia.

France: Murdered by her Pakistani family because she did not accept forced marriage

The victim Saman Abbas

The Paris Court of Appeal will decide on November 24 whether to extradite a Pakistani man arrested in France on suspicion of murdering his niece in Italy, judicial sources told AFP on Wednesday. After an adjournment on October 20 for procedural reasons, Danish H. appeared again before the investigating chamber on Wednesday.

In this case, which has attracted much attention and anger in Italy and which the court has described as “extremely spectacular”, Danish H. is one of five family members of 18-year-old Saman Abbas suspected of being involved in her murder. The body has not yet been found. On October 20, the court had declared that Danish H. was “responsible for the abduction, capture of this young girl and her death in a field”. While the prosecution had requested his extradition to Italy, his lawyer Layla Saidi refused, arguing that the proceedings were null and void.Le Figaro

Hicham Chaib, former head of Sharia4Belgium, sentenced to life imprisonment and stripped of Belgian citizenship

The defendant was also sentenced to 15 years imprisonment by the court. In the absence of their defendant, Hicham Chaib, 40, was sentenced in absentia. He was charged with the terrorist killing of an unspecified prisoner in Syria in March 2016. The former Sharia4Belgium member belonged to the Islamic State (EI) terrorist organisation at the time. Pictures of the execution were posted on the internet a few days after the Brussels and Zaventem attacks. The jury and the court described the offence as “particularly serious and heinous” and saw no mitigating circumstances.

Before he departed for Syria and joined the terrorist group Islamic State, Hicham Chaib was the right-hand man of Fouad Belkacem, the leader of the terrorist group Sharia4Belgium. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2015 as part of the Sharia4Belgium trial, when he had already disappeared and fled to Syria. In addition to the terrorist killing, Hicham Chaib was also convicted of participating in the activities of the Islamic State and threatening to commit a terrorist killing, as he had made threats against the Belgian population in the video of the execution.

The court ordered the immediate arrest of the accused, who still holds Moroccan nationality. During the investigation, there were reports, not confirmed by official sources, that Hicham Chaib had died in Syria. Nevertheless, caution is advised, as the spread of false death notices is a well-known strategy of the EI. In Belgium, state security still considers the accused as an active “foreign terrorist fighter”.La Libre

A military-intelligence outfit at center of US digital vaccine passport drive

MITRE has been awarded huge security state contracts to pioneer invasive spy technology, including the implementation of digital vaccine passports.

The organization is a non-profit corporation run by military-intelligence professionals contracted by the Department of Defense, FBI, and national security sector, reported The Grayzone.

MITRE’s effort “to expand QR code vaccine passports beyond states like California and New York” is a public-private partnership known as the Vaccine Credential Initiative (VCI) described by Forbes as a “cloak and dagger [research and development] shop” that is “the most important organization you’ve never heard of”.

Elizabeth Renieris, the founding director of Notre Dame and IBM’s technology ethics lab, worries that MITRE would “pursue new revenue streams in healthcare and financial services…privately owned and operated ID systems with profit-maximizing business models threaten the privacy, security, and other fundamental rights of individuals and communities”.

In January 2021, several WEF partners, including Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, and other mega-corporations announced the launch of the Vaccine Credential Initiative (VCI) in order to roll out QR code-based vaccine passports across the US.

“A non-profit established by the Rockefeller Foundation and called The Commons Project is leading the lobbying push for digital SMART cards through the VCI it co-founded. And Commons Project CEO Paul Meyer happens to have been cultivated by the WEF as a ‘young leader’,” according to The Grayzone.

Based in Northern Virginia, the military-intelligence think tank MITRE receives $2 billion a year from US agencies including the US Department of Defense and is run by mostly former Pentagon officials and ex-intelligence operatives. It was founded in 1958 as a joint project of the US Air Force and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop “command and control” systems for nuclear and conventional warfare.

Noam Chomsky was incidentally one of their early appointments for the “development of a program to establish natural language as an operational language for command and control”.

Thus MITRE’s SQUINT browser plugin app, for example, “enables rapid social media situational awareness of COVID-19-related misinformation for public health officials through crowd-sourced reporting,” according to promotional material.

The CIA’s venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel, is also listed among MITRE’s Covid-19 Healthcare Coalition. In-Q-Tel’s VP Dan Hanfling told the Washington Post in September that unvaccinated people should be denied healthcare: “That group of individuals who have willingly chosen not to vaccinate, for illegitimate reasons, it would be fair to place them at the back of the line.”

The Washington Post omitted the mention of Hanfling’s affiliation with the CIA and instead it described him as an “emergency physician”.

The Chairman of MITRE’s Board of Trustees, Donald Kerr, served as the deputy director for science and technology at the CIA, where he received the CIA Distinguished Intelligence Medal.

‘Austrians are becoming strangers in their own country’ – Fears grow as Austria’s foreign born population reaches record high

In Austria, the number of people born abroad has reached a new high, and one of the country’s top parties is ringing the alarm about Austria’s continous influx of foreigners. Almost 1.8 million (20.1 percent) of the people living in Austria were born abroad, according to the latest 2020 migration report by the Austrian Integration Fund.

Five years ago, the proportion was 18.3 percent.

“More than 20 percent of the population were not born in our country. Austrians are increasingly becoming strangers in their own country. It is particularly worrying that well over a quarter of the children in schools no longer have German as a colloquial language,” said the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) spokesman Hannes Amesbauer in reponse to the new government report.

The rising share of foreigners has raised concerns in Austria in the past. For example, in 2019, then Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache of FPÖ said that Austrians run the risk of becoming a minority in their own country, referring it to as demographic replacement.

“I will not be silenced, we do not want to become a minority in our own homeland,” Strache said to supporters in May 1 of that year. Strache eventually fell victim to a sting operation where he was secretly recorded during the Ibiza Affair, resulting in the FPÖ losing its position in Austria’s government coalition.

Following Strache’s comments, a number of left-leaning newspapers attempted to debunk them. For one, they pointed that many of the foreigners are from other European countries, a fact reflected in the latest report, which showed that the largest foreign-nationals group came from Germany, followed by Bosnia-Herzegovina, Turkey, Serbia, and Romania.

However, the non-European share of Austria’s population is growing, and the statistics also point to another sea change that many newspapers are glossing over. The Integration Fund also evaluated the number of students in Austria’s school system who speak a non-German language at home. This share increased by 3.6 percentage points compared to 2015 to 27.4 percent. That means that around 300,000 of the almost 1.1 million students communicate in a non-German language at home.

In short, while ethnic Austrians age, the youngest generation is increasingly non-Austrian and increasingly not speaking German. Many of the fact-checkers, such as the Wiener Zeitung, also make projections out to 2050, but stop short there. However, other countries have released data that looks at trends over a longer horizon, including Norway’s official statistical office, and have determined that ethnic Norwegians will become a minority in their own country within this century. Pew Research has also found that migration and demographic trends mean that Europe’s Muslim population could triple by 2050 to 75 million.

Like many other Western European nations, the cities are transforming the fastest. The share of foreign-born peoplein the total population was the highest in Vienna (37.1 percent), followed by Upper Austria (13.5 percent) and Lower Austria (11.4 percent), while it was the lowest in Burgenland (12 percent). The Tyrol federal-state recorded the highest increase since 2016, with 19.2 percent.

According to the study, foreigners in Austria are more likely to be unemployed than nationals. Other reports have highlighted that more than half of the prisoners in Austria are foreigners. In 2020, the unemployment rate among Austrian citizens was 8.4 percent and 15.3 percent, almost twice as high, among foreigners. In Vienna, more than one in five foreigners was unemployed in 2020.

The share of such children and adolescents was highest in special schools (40.3 percent), polytechnical schools (35.6 percent), and new middle schools (33.3 percent). Among the federal states, in this regard, Vienna recorded the highest rate (54.4 percent), while Carinthia the lowest one (16.6 percent).

The German ‘anti-Semitism commissioner’ who enables BDS, Jew-hatred and Iran

Baden-Württemberg is embroiled in a series of anti-Semitism scandals: The German state’s commissioner tasked with combating anti-Semitism, Michael Blume, has failed to take action against funding for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign targeting the Jewish state and has refused to urge the city of Freiburg to end its partnership with the genocidally anti-Semitic Iranian regime.

If Baden-Württemberg and Freiburg are serious about combating anti-Semitism, the state should immediately fire Blume, close the pro-BDS Palestine Committee Stuttgart’s bank account, and terminate Freiburg’s twin city partnership with Iran’s regime in Isfahan. Freiburg is the only city in Germany that has a city partnership with the Iranian regime.

One of the most powerful of BDS entities, the Palestine Committee Stuttgart, is based in the capital of Baden-Württemberg and maintains an account with the Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW), a state-backed bank. The committee hosted an international conference that brought together a who’s who of the BDS campaign, with over 300 participants.

Blume’s contention suggesting that banks cannot close accounts of BDS groups is demonstrably false. The following German banks have terminated accounts for BDS groups for support of terrorism or of anti-Semitism, or both: Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Deutsche Postbank, DAB Bank Munich and Die Bank für Sozialwirtschaft.

Under German law incitement against Jews is illicit. The Bundestag passed a resolution in 2019 defining BDS as anti-Semitic. It is worth noting that the Bank für Sozialwirtschaft terminated the account of the pro-BDS extremist entity Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East following the implementation of the anti-BDS resolution.

This writer’s investigative series led to the closure of more than 20 BDS accounts in such countries as France, Germany, Austria, the US, Ireland, and the UK due to violations of anti-discrimination laws against Israel, incitement targeting Jews, and terrorism links.

The city of Stuttgart and the state government together own nearly half of the Landesbank Baden-Württemberg. Sadly, Baden-Württemberg’s governor, Winfried Kretschmann of the Green party, and interior minister, Thomas Strobl of the Christian Democratic Union, have shown no appetite to end the state’s tolerance of BDS and Blume’s anti-Semitic and anti-Israel activity on social media and in his articles.

Blume claimed in a convoluted blog articlethat “As a trained financial assistant, I know that banks in the savings bank association fulfill a basic service mandate and that account closings are therefore subject to strict legal requirements.” His lack of knowledge concerning laws against terror finance and the scores of closures of BDS bank accounts in Germany, Austria and across Europe is shocking.

Blume’s refusal to urge the LBBW to close the BDS account comes in rejection of public appeals to the financial institutions enabling boycott groups from the Central Council of Jews in Germany; the Israeli government, specifically Ambassador to the UN and the US Gilad Erdan; the head of the German-Israeli Friendship Society, Uwe Becker; and the federal commissioner for Jewish life in Germany and the fight against anti-Semitism, Felix Klein.

Becker, as deputy mayor of Frankfurt, declared that the municipality will not conduct business with banks that provide accounts to BDS organizations.

Blume has an unsavory record of standing on the wrong side of history in the fight against contemporary anti-Semitism.

n a rambling blog entry in 2019 titled “Eichmann, Brevik, Spencer and the terror attack at Christchurch – Ethno-nationalism as a connection from anti-Semitism and racism,” Blume compared the prominent German-Jewish anti-BDS activist Malca Goldstein-Wolf to organizer of the Holocaust Adolf Eichmann.

In reaction, Dr. Efraim Zuroff, the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Jerusalem-based top Nazi-hunter, said Blume should “first tender his resignation and then apologize to Ms. Goldstein-Wolf.”

After renewed anti-Israel activity by Blume on social media this past July, Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center said that the “job of an anti-Semitism commissioner is to fight it and not spread it.”Blume, during exchanges with a Twitter account, did not object for instance, when it denigrated the Israeli flag in a cartoon as the “worst of all.” Moreover, Blume liked and retweeted posts from Twitter accounts that stoke Jew-hatred.

In the meantime, Blume continued with his anti-Israel tirades on his private Twitter account.

This month, monitors of anti-Semitism revealed on social media that Blume expressed support for the German anti-Israel journalist Nemi El-Hassan, who participated in the pro-Iranian regime al-Quds Day demonstration where participants called for the “gassing of Jews.” The annual rally urges the destruction of the Jewish state.

And according to Germany’s largest paper, Bild, El-Hassan “liked” anti-Semitic social media content this past summer that glorified terrorism against Israel.

El-Hassan is seeking employment as a host with WDR television and Blume declared his support for her. Blume argued that “people can overcome anti-Semitism” and urged that she be “given a chance” as a moderator. After complaints from the Central Council of Jews and others, WDR opted not to allow El-Hassan to work on screen as a host, instead hiring her as a writer.

This reporter sent press queries to Blume about his support for El-Hassan, and he declared via Twitter that he would be taking a temporary break from using his private Twitter account.

Unfortunately, Blume is a serial anti-Israel and anti-Jewish user of social media. In 2019, he “liked” a Facebook post likening Zionists to Nazis—a clear expression of contemporary anti-Semitism according to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition, which has been adopted by the German government.

Blume’s inaction regarding the Iranian regime’s twin city partnership with Freiburg is unsettling. In 2020, the JUPI political party in the Freiburg City Council called for the end to the partnership because Iran’s regime engages in “Holocaust denial and the persecution of homosexuals, which cannot be the basis for a friendship.”

The JUPI city council member Sergio Pax saidthere “can be no dialogue” with Iran because it “does not recognize Israel’s right to exist.”

Freiburg’s partnership with Isfahan serves no other purpose than to mainstream the Islamic Republic’s lethal anti-Semitism, global terrorism and Holocaust denial.

The US government under both Democratic and Republican administrations has recognized Iran’s regime as the world’s biggest state-sponsor of terrorism. The Anti-Defamation League’s CEO Jonathan Greenblatt testified to Congress that the Islamic Republic is the leading international state-sponsor of anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial.

The Iranian regime-controlled Metropolises News Agency (formerly called the Isfahan Municipality News Agency) reported in May on Isfahan celebrating al-Quds Day 2021. Mashregh News, a website close to the security and intelligence organizations in Iran, stressed when discussing the al-Quds Day rally in Isfahan in May “the necessity of liberating occupied Jerusalem.”

In short, the abolition of Israel.

Blume claimed regarding the twin city relationship that he cannot intervene, or even voice his opinion, regarding a municipal government’s decision. This is patently false. Note that the German city-state of Hamburg’s commissioner to combat anti-Semitism, Stefan Hensel, recently called on the municipal government to close the Islamic Republic of Iran-controlled Islamic Center in Hamburg. The center stokes anti-Semitism and promotes radical and terrorist ideologies.

Blume used a bogus excuse to avoid confronting Tehran’s deadly anti-Semitic ideology in Baden-Württemberg.

Anti-Semitism is deeply entrenched in the culture and power politics of Baden-Württemberg. The state first elected the former Nazi naval judge Hans Filbinger as governor in 1966, and he won re-election, holding the post through 1978 and enjoying enormous popularity as a patriarchal figure. Filbinger later defended his Nazi-era work imposing executions on deserters, saying: “What was right then cannot be wrong now.”

-Blume declined to say in response to my press query whether, during his speech in September celebrating “democracy” in Lörrach, he criticized the Baden-Württemberg town. Blume appears to have, at best, ignored Lörrach’s Nazi history and its honoring of its former Nazi mayor Reinhard Boos until as recently 2016.

-A spokeswoman for Lörrach, Susanne Baldus-Spingler, and the town’s mayor, Jörg Lutz, refused to respond to my press queries about the city ignoring its Nazi past during its “Day of Democracy” celebration.

-Blume and Baldus-Spingler refused to provide this reporter with a copy of his speech.

Chaim Noll, a German-Israeli author, called out Blume for “latent anti-Semitism,” writing in a piercing article about Blume’s severe incompetence and anti-Semitism on the popular website Die Achse des Guten—“the Axis of Good.” The “latent antisemitism” allegation against Blume helps to partially explain his attacks against German Jews, the Israeli media and Israelis on social media and in his bizarre blogs.

If Baden-Württemberg’s politicians and leaders continue with business as usual, their state’s anti-Semitism problem will only continue to grow.

The father of the terrorist who beheaded Samuel Paty claims that the beheading of Samuel Paty has ” settled the debt of all Muslims” for the sin of inaction

In a little-noticed video, Anzorov’s father said that with the beheading, “the debt of all Muslims will be settled”. The interview, broadcast before the summer, was hardly noticed by the media, but a few days after the tribute to Samuel Paty, it contains interesting information about the teacher’s murderer, Abdoullakh Anzorov. In particular, on his support from the jihadist scene and from his family, who no longer live in France.

Last June, a Chechen Salafist blogger published on social media an interview with Abdulakh Anzorov’s father, Abouyezid, that lasted almost an hour and a half.Abouyezid Anzorov states that in early October 2020, his son became aware of a video “sent by an imam of a local mosque” denouncing Samuel Paty. This appears to refer to the video circulated by Abdelhakim Sefrioui, who claimed to be a member of a “Council of Imams of France”. The terrorist’s father added that this “imam” referred in his video to “apparently unsuccessful attempts by Muslims to take legal action against images that are offensive to Muslim believers”. However, in his video, Abdelhakim Sefrioui makes the following accusation: “For five to six years, Muslim children aged 12 to 13 have been bullied, assaulted and humiliated in front of their friends.

“Abdullakh watched this video,” Abouyezid Anzorov continues, “he couldn’t stand it and ran to the kitchen to tell his mother. His mother cursed those who draw the cartoons and replied that it was not in our power, that it was our job to pray.” Abdoullakh also showed the video to his brother, but not to his father, a security guard who was then working in a city other than Évreux, where the family lived. The father then spoke of his son who, without family pressure, had started praying at 5 years of age and fasting at 7 years of age, a “good son for his parents” who ” followed Chechen traditions and behaviour”. There was no fanaticism in him,” adds Abuyezid Anzorov. I educated him to love Allah more than his parents.Le Figaro

Conflict of interest: FDA reviewers of Pfizer’s child vaccine work/ed for Pfizer

The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee on Tuesday October 26, discussed pushing their jab for children between the ages of 5 to 11 years old.

Their findings will now determine whether the Biden administration distributes vaccines to elementary schools. The US state of California has already mandated the shot for schoolchildren pending federal authorization.

But key members of the committee as well as temporary voting members are either former Pfizer employees or still have close ties to the company, the National File learned. They include a former vice president of Pfizer Vaccines, a recent Pfizer consultant, a recent Pfizer research grant recipient, a mentor to a current top Pfizer vaccine executive, a Pfizer vaccine centre owner, the chair of a Pfizer data group. Most of them have already publicly pushed vaccines for children.

And recent FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb happens to be on Pfizer’s board of directors. This represents a monumental conflict of interest in which no one in the media seems to take much interest.

FDA News stated last December: “FDA advisory committee members in the past have frequently been the target of heavy politicking by industry representatives of whatever drug they were considering for a recommendation at in-person meetings. That process has been somewhat altered by the fact that during Covid-19, meetings are being held virtually. But it’s likely that behind-the-scenes pressuring still goes on. The industry defends the attempts to influence committee members as simply efforts to best present their case.”

Children are not at risk from Covid-19

It is worth noting that, as Fox News host Tucker Carlson pointed out regarding vaccines for children: “Children have 1 in 1 000 000 chance of dying from Covid.” The evident bias of the FDA panel was highlighted on Twitter by Dr Doug Corrigan, a molecular biologist: “Wait, so we can’t use Ivermectin because ‘we don’t have enough data’ but… ‘Let’s vaccinate children to see how safe the vaccine is because we don’t have enough data.’”

Bloomberg has reported that Covid hospitalizations of US children (already extremely rare compared with the adult population) have been falling sharply after schools reopened. For Pfizer executives the argument for pushing child vaccines has been to claim that the start of the school year would increase infections. They have also admitted that they do not know what the long-term effects of the shots will be.

Meanwhile, official German Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) figures show that 22,4 percent of reported adverse reactions in teenagers (12-17) were severe, roughly twice as many as in adults. That constitutes around 1 serious response for every 10 000 vaccinations, which is unacceptably high.

But in a 17-0 decision, the FDA committee has voted for a medical experiment on American children by approving the “emergency use” of Covid shots in children aged 5 – 11, even though the mortality rate is almost zero, there is no “benefit” and no emergency.

Harvard expert rejects Covid jab for kids

Harvard University professor of medicine Martin Kulldorff has firmly rejected the plan to inject children. “I don’t think children should be vaccinated for Covid. I’m a huge fan of vaccinating children for measles, for mumps, for polio, for rotavirus, and many other diseases, that’s critical. But Covid is not a huge threat to children,” he told EpochTV.

“They can be infected, just like they can get the common cold, but they’re not a big threat. They don’t die from this, except in very rare circumstances. So if you want to talk about protecting children or keeping children safe, I think we can talk about traffic accidents, for example, which they are really at some risk.

“And there are other things that we should make sure [of] to keep children safe. But Covid is not a big risk factor for children.”

Children are more likely to become seriously ill or die from the annual flu than from Covid-19 according to data and studies that Kulldorff has reviewed. According to the CDC, 195 children under the age of 4 and 442 between 5 and 18 have died from the virus as of October 20. Children are also 15 times less likely to be hospitalized than those older than 85 and 570 times less likely to die.

Kulldorff cited the example of Sweden. The country kept daycare and schools open for all children ages 1 to 15. Almost 2 million children survived the first wave without vaccines, masks or any distancing in schools and zero children died from the virus infection.

Gay Muslim not allowed to participate at Berlin Woke Festival because his female boss criticises Islamism

The Berlin Film Festival causes a scandal.

The Berlin “Soura Film Festival” intends to create a so-called safe space for homosexuals, women and migrants – but tricked a gay Muslim into staying away. Worse: His association was denigrated at the festival.

Apparent reason: Tugay Saraç (24) works for the women’s rights activist Seyran Ateş (58), who campaigns against Islamism.

The film festival was to show the documentary “Seyran Ateş: Sex, Revolution and Islam” on Friday evening, which features the establishment of the Ibn Rushd Goethe Mosque founded by Ateş.

The mosque is one of the first in the world where men and women can pray side by side, where headscarves are not compulsory and where homosexuals and queers are welcome. Saraç was supposed to discuss the film and liberal Islam with the audience afterwards.

But it came to nothing.

Because: The student was warned by quasi-invitation that there were “complaints” and “threats” against him and Ateş’ organisation (correspondence is in the possession of the tabloid BILD).

Since Ateş is regularly under police protection because of hostility from Islamists, the student assumed that his safety was at risk – and cancelled his participation.

But that was not true.

The background was different. Only when asked did an employee of the festival admit that the threats had not been made by Islamists, but by sponsors of the cultural centre Oyoun, where the festival takes place. They were afraid that Oyoun would lose its sponsors if Saraç came on stage, they said.

Explosive: The Oyoun is an institution of the Berlin Senate and was supported with 940,000 euros in 2021. The Soura Film Festival was publicly funded with 42,000 euros for 2021 and 2022.

But that is not all.

While Saraç was led to believe that he was being threatened by Islamists, the festival organisers read out a statement before the film screening in which the organisers defamed the feminist Seyran Ateş as “Islamophobic”.

Spectator Nico W. was sitting in the audience on the evening in question and tells BILD: “A woman came on stage before the screening and read out a written statement on behalf of the cultural organisation Oyoun and the festival. They were in solidarity with the fight for the rights of women and LGBTQs within Islam, but wanted to distance themselves from the Islamophobic views of Seyran Ateş and not give her a platform. That is why they cancelled the discussion with Tugay Saraç.”

The documentary “Seyran Ateş: Sex, Revolution and Islam” was nevertheless shown at the festival. Not only that: on social media, the organisers even boasted that the screening was sold out.

Tugay Saraç is appalled by the incidents. When asked by BILD, he said: “We were kept away from the festival just so that Oyoun and the Soura Film Fest could drag our names through the mud undisturbed. This is not how critical and controversial debate works in a democratic society. With the accusation of ‘Islamophobia’ made in the statement, the organisers are expelling us from Islam, just as radicals do. As Muslims, we do not accept that.”

When asked by BILD, Oyoun said that there had been no threats. The cultural institution did not want to comment on the questionable treatment of the young Muslim. Instead, the cultural institution refers to a statement published by the festival and Oyoun on Monday.It said it regretted “that it ultimately came to the screening of the film” because it did not want to “serve as a mouthpiece for a one-sided portrayal”. The statement calling Ateş “Islamophobic” was necessary to “contextualise” the screening and distance themselves from Ateş.

The liberal Muslim woman had accepted an invitation from the Austrian party FPÖ and was campaigning for a headscarf ban, which did not fit in with the organisations’ “world view of openness, democracy, freedom of belief and equality”. They are “committed to an anti-racist, intersectional and inclusive society”.

Explosive: The organisers added a list of newspaper articles and publications defaming Ateş as “Islamophobic” to the statement. Among them is a “fact sheet” from Georgetown University’s Bridge Initiative. The initiative has been criticised for branding critics of Islam, academics and secular Muslims who speak out against Muslim extremism as far-right.

Ateş tells BILD: “Erdogan declared our mosque and me Gülen supporters because I gave lectures to Gülen people and accepted a award. I was declared a PKK supporter because I support the Kurdish people. The Al-Azhar Fatwa Authority has declared us non-Muslims, likewise the mullahs of the IZH have issued a press statement that we are Islamophobes.
