The Stone Age Islamists have been allowed back on the streets of Hamburg, spreading their propaganda once again. The Islamist group “Muslim Interaktiv” has received permission for a second rally in Hamburg on Saturday, but with strict conditions. Hamburg Police Chief Falk Schnabel emphasized that they are a strictly constitutional assembly authority and will enforce strict regulations during the rally.
Despite concerns, the police chief stated that a ban on the group’s demonstration would not be legally upheld. Compared to their previous rally in April, this time even stricter requirements will be in place, including a ban on visible gender separation. The cooperation talks have led to further restrictions on the group’s activities, with the applicant showing cooperation in previous agreements.
Interior Senator Andy Grote assured that all legal means will be used to monitor the group, but acknowledged that extremist opinions are not fundamentally illegal in a constitutional state. The upcoming rally is expected to attract around 1,000 participants, with a counter-demonstration also planned. “Muslim Interaktiv” has been under surveillance for four years by the Hamburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution, as it is seen as an extremist-Islamist organization that rejects basic democratic values and laws.
While some politicians have criticized the decision to allow the rally, others have called for unity in supporting the security authorities against extremist groups. Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has suggested tightening laws to address statements suggesting the establishment of a caliphate. Despite concerns, the rally is scheduled to proceed under strict regulations and monitoring.
