Allegations after admission
On the occasion of the recording of the “Germany” song with Steinmeier, a journalist from Hessischer Rundfunk , Esther Schapira , raised serious allegations against Muhabbet, which diametrically opposed his credibility in an integrative project of this kind. In a television interview for Tagesthemen on November 12, 2007, Muhabbet had told her and her colleague Kamil Taylan about the murder of Theo van Gogh after the award ceremony for her film on October 20, 2007 , that he was still lucky that he was died so quickly. He would have locked him in the basement and tortured him. Then Muhabbet is said to have added that Ayan Hirsi Ali would also deserve death. Taylan confirmed the presentation of Shapira.
Muhabbet expressed in the daily themes of the same day on the allegations. He found "any call for murder catastrophic" and said: "I completely reject these allegations." His manager Jochen Kühling had denied that the murder had even been discussed at the film gala. On November 14, 2007, Muhabbet told the BILD newspaper about the content of the dispute between him and Ms. Schapira as follows: “I said that a fundamentalist Muslim can see a naked woman in a mosque - as in the Van Gogh film - freak out and think: if you take such pictures, I will first torture you and then kill you. "
Steinmeier emphasized that Muhabbet was “not an Islamist”. Laut.de put it into perspective: “Since Muhabbet is involved in campaigns against violence for Bravo and The Dome, continues to support school bands and SOS Children's Villages, and is even a UNICEF ambassador, it is questionable whether ARD is aiming for something else with the publication of this report want.".
