Fussilet 33

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fussilet 33 was an association that maintained a mosque in Berlin-Moabit . The name of the association refers to the 33rd verse of the Koran surah Fussilat . The club was banned in February 2017. A few days before the ban became known, the association closed the mosque for financial reasons.

The entrance to the mosque was at Perleberger Strasse 14. Previously, the Turkish Hicret Mosque was located in the premises at Perleberger Strasse 14 and was maintained by the Turkish-Islamic Union of the Institute for Religion (DİTİB).

The mosque was classified by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution as one of several places in Berlin where Salafist Islamists met. It was mentioned in the 2015 report of the Berlin Office for the Protection of the Constitution .

Ismet D., who describes himself as an emir and was president of Fussilet 33, is said to have radicalized Muslims. He is accused of providing financial, technical and organizational support to the Syrian terrorist group Junūd al-Shām from mid-2013 to the end of 2014 . The Berlin Superior Court has been negotiating against him since January 2015 .

The Berlin Senate sought to ban the association in 2015, but was unable to implement it due to staff shortages. The assassin Anis Amri was one of the regular visitors to the mosque . In front of the mosque, Amri was filmed by state surveillance cameras on December 19, 2016 from 6:38 p.m. to 7:07 p.m., shortly before the attack on the Christmas market at the Memorial Church. At 8 p.m. Amri committed his attack. After the attack, the Berlin Senate re-examined a ban on the association.

On December 22, 2016, the mosque association was searched by a special task force of the Berlin police for the suspect of the Berlin attack. On the evening of February 1, 2017, the mosque was searched again and three men were arrested. The detainees' homes were also searched. Ten so-called threats are said to have frequented the mosque .

The association ran a youth and family counseling center at Reinickendorfer Strasse 30 in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen .

By order of February 20, 2017, the Berlin Senate Department for the Interior and Sports banned the mosque association. In connection with the ban, the police searched 24 objects in Berlin on February 28, 2017.
