German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced the ban of Islamic Center Hamburg for alleged support to Hezbollah and propagating extremism. The Blue Mosque was searched by the police for its ties to Iranian regime.
The IZH is considered an extension of the Iranian regime in Germany with significant influence over certain mosques. Investigations extend to 53 properties across multiple federal states.
The Interior Ministry stated the Blue Mosque had ties to Iran and aimed at spreading Iranian revolutionary ideas. The IZH is suspected of acting against the constitutional order and supporting the terrorist organization Hezbollah.
The ban is not against religion but targets groups accused of undermining the German state and women's rights, as highlighted by Interior Minister Nancy Faeser.
In 2020, Germany designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, leading to the ban on its activities on German soil.
