1 day agoGermany cracks down on 'TikTok Islamism' DW 11/05/2025
German Interior Ministry banned Muslim Interaktiv for advocating a worldwide caliphate and rejecting Germany's democratic Basic Law.
Hamburg's interior minister, Andy Grote of the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD), welcomed the ban and said that authorities had "eliminated a dangerous and very active Islamist group". Police on Wednesday also searched buildings in Berlin and the western state of Hesse as part of investigations into two other groups, "Generation Islam" and "Realitaet Islam". Germany has previously banned a number of Muslim organisations, such as the NGO Ansaar, which was accused in 2021 of financing Islamist terrorism under the guise of charitable work.
