Already last spring, Muslim Interaktiv organized demonstrations in Hamburg, during which the slogan “God bless you” had been chanted and banners calling for the creation of a caliphate had been brandished. Many German politicians, including in the ranks of the federal government, condemned these calls and advocated a ban on demonstrations for this organization.
« This small group (Interactive Muslim) is considered part of the entourage of Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), banned in Germany since 2003. It is one of several groups founded as ‘successor groups’ after the ban on excluding tax », Explained to JDD last May Andreas Jakobs, specialist in Islamist movements in Germany.
