"On November 5, the German Interior Ministry banned the group "Muslim Interaktiv," which calls for a worldwide caliphate and rejects the democratic order enshrined in Germany's constitution, the Basic Law. A ministry press release described the association "Muslim Interaktiv" as "opposed to the constitutional order and the idea of international understanding," adding: "The association will be dissolved. The assets of Muslim Interaktiv will be confiscated.""
"The association views the Muslim community in Germany as a minority that is discriminated against and ostracized from society. Founded in 2020, authorities believe the group is affiliated with the Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) organization, which was banned in 2003 after promoting violence and the killing of Jewish people. Such bans are standard procedure against actors who are suspected of extremist activities in this case, Islamist activities. They can be challenged in court."
"We will respond with the full force of the law to anyone who aggressively calls for a caliphate on our streets, incites hatred against the state of Israel and Jews in an intolerable manner, and despises the rights of women and minorities," said Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindtin the press statement. He said that associations such as "Muslim Interaktiv" would be prevented from "undermining our free society, despising our democracy, and attacking our country from within.""
