The association “Secular Islam” has called on Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD) to immediately end the cooperation with the Central Council of Muslims (ZMD). The reason given by the association around the sociologist Necla Kelek was the cooperation of the Central Council with the “Islamic Centre Hamburg” (IZH), which is classified as extremist by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser should “immediately order the ban of the IZH and the closure of the Imam Ali Mosque in Hamburg”, she says in a letter to the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The “cooperation, collaboration and discussions” with the ZMD should be stopped “as long as the IZH and its surrounding organisations are members there”.
Last week, the oral hearing began at the Hamburg Administrative Court on the classification of the Islam Centre as an extremist organisation by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The authority assesses the IZH and the Imam Ali Mosque it runs in Hamburg as outposts of the Iranian regime in Europe.
