Haluk Yildiz (Turkish spelling Haluk Yıldız , * 1968 in Muş , Turkey ) is a German politician of Turkish origin. He is federal chairman of the small party Alliance for Innovation and Justice (BIG) and has held a mandate on the Bonn city council since 2009 . Before that, he co-founded the Islamic University Association in Bonn in 2001 and the Council of Muslims in Bonn in 2006 .

Life

Yildiz grew up in Turkey and attended boarding school there, while her parents went to Germany as doctors for a few years. Yildiz describes the family's religious orientation at the time as “half-practicing” or “cultural Muslim”; it was only in Germany that he became a practicing Muslim himself. He obtained his university entrance qualification in Turkey and completed a teaching degree in German in Istanbul . While working as a tour guide , Yildiz met his future wife, a Bonn journalist, in 1989. In 1990 he traveled to East Berlin on a visa, traded machines and textiles and chartered planes. He studied business administration and has lived in Bonn with his German wife since 1993. In 1997 he received German citizenship and enrolled at the University of Bonn for the subjects of comparative religion, philosophy and Islamic studies. Yildiz describes the Turkish theologian Said Nursi as his great role model , who also has committed followers in Germany (so-called Nurculuk ). According to the BIG website, Yildiz has been active as a management consultant specializing in strategy management since the mid-1990s, in addition to his political commitment.

Islamic University Association Bonn (IHV Bonn, 2001)

At the beginning of 2001, Yildiz and others founded the Islamic University Association (IHV Bonn) at the University of Bonn , but after the attacks of September 11, 2001, it initially only developed little religious activities. Yildiz was the chairman of the IHV Bonn. Against initial resistance from the University of Bonn, the IHV Bonn set up regular public prayers in the hallway in front of lecture hall I, the only German Friday prayer in the city. In 2009 there were 40 active members at IHV Bonn who organize lectures, events and the annual fasting after Ramadan in the cafeteria .

Council of Muslims in Bonn (2006)

In August / September 2006 the "Council of Muslims in Bonn" was founded on Yildiz's commitment, and Yildiz became its spokesman. The establishment took place on the premises of the Muslim Social Association (MSB), whose chairman Hassan Özdogan is a former Millî Görüş board member. The council sees itself as a platform based on regular meetings, which is formed from nine mosques - including five Arab, three Turkish and one Bosnian - the German Muslim League Bonn by Bashir Ahmad Dultz , the Islamic University Association Bonn and the Muslim Social Union. However, the council is not a new association, but only has a spokesman and his deputy who communicates jointly formulated resolutions to the outside world.

The question asked at the founding event about the membership of two mosque associations monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution was answered by a lawyer stating that it was important to also involve difficult mosque communities. The fact that the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is not observing them is also not a final judgment on them. It is important to know the background, and they have that knowledge. As early as 2003, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution registered an increase in the influx of Islamic extremists into the area around the König-Fahd Academy in Bonn, and in 2005 a progressive development towards the "Islamist stronghold" of Bonn was described.

According to Yildiz, the reason for the founding of the council was the cartoon controversy . According to Yildiz, the council wants to advocate Islamic teaching at Bonn schools and address various issues such as clothing in physical education, discrimination in the workplace or the position of women in Islam. An important project is the support of the Al-Muhajirin community, which would like to build a new mosque for around 800 Muslims as well as a cultural center with training rooms and a youth club in Neu-Tannenbusch, but whose building application was rejected in March 2007 because of fears that the mosque would be destroyed could strengthen the "undisputed ghetto formation". In December 2007, as spokesman for the Council of Muslims, Yildiz accused the city administration of avoiding an open, fair dialogue in matters of mosque construction, and that the SPD parliamentary group was not ready to talk either, but was repeatedly put off.

Between January and September 2009 threatening videos against Germany appeared on the Internet by Bekkay Harrach , an Islamist who grew up in Bonn, who in 2006 called for a demonstration against the Mohammed caricatures in Bonn and is said to have frequented various mosques in Bonn, in which Muhajirin Mosque, the Bonn-Beuel Al-Muhssin Mosque and the Ar-Rahma Mosque in Pennenfeld, Harrach was even deputy chairman of the mosque association from March 2006 to March 2007. The Council of Muslims in Bonn published a publication on 23 September 2009 a declaration according to which Muslims living in Germany are " all too easily put under general suspicion and viewed as potential perpetrators ". " Everyone who threatens and plans to use violence against this country, we call on to contemplation and repentance, especially if our religion falls into disrepute. Consider that any violence in this country leads to renewed security packages and surveillance measures to dismantle Fundamental rights and liberties as well as a massive increase in the budget for security measures. "The appeal signed by the council members closes with the cui bono question" Who is the benefit of these consequences? "Yildiz, who had known Harrach since 2001, valued him as" at times a hothead "a; That he had fought as a freedom fighter for the Muslim cause in the Middle East was accepted in the mosque community, as the second chairman Harrach "played practically no role at that time anyway".

Alliance for Peace & Fairness (BFF, 2009)

On June 30th, 2009 Yildiz founded the "Alliance for Peace & Fairness" (BFF), and this was presented on August 19th, 2009 at a press conference. The BFF emerged from the grown structures of the Council of Muslims in Bonn. BFF chairman was Yildiz, the second chairman Baasem Jürgen Kannich. In the run-up to the local elections in Bonn on August 30, 2009 , Yildiz had drawn up the bill that around 30,000 Muslims live in Bonn, of whom around 7,000 are eligible to vote, "If only a part of them gives us their vote, we will certainly be in the city council", so Yildiz. In Bonn mosques, the election of the BFF was called for. Based on 2,732 votes (2.1 percent), the BFF received two seats in the Bonn city council . The second seat next to Yildiz took over Hülya Dogan, who was also active for many years in the Council of Muslims in Bonn and after the election declared that she was "not only as Hülya Dogan in the city council, but also representative of all women with headscarves".

BFF took part in the election for the Bonn Integration Council on February 7, 2010 (turnout of almost 8 percent of 33,000 eligible voters) with a newly founded offshoot, the "Alliance for Bonn" list. This was able to win three seats for five years in the integration council, including one for the chairman of the Al-Ansar Mosque (Acharki) and another for a board member of the Al-Muhajirin Mosque (Azrak). The BFF has been called "BIG Bonn" since the BIG party was founded in March 2010.

Another new offshoot, the "University Alliance for Innovation and Justice" (UBIG) took part in the election for the Bonn student parliament in January 2011 and won a seat with 156 votes. The UBIG student representative is also chairman of the board of the IHV-Bonn founded by Yildiz and an advisory member for BIG Bonn in the committee for social affairs, migration, health and housing of the city of Bonn.

Alliance for Innovation and Justice (BIG, 2010)

About two months before the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia on May 9, 2010 , the Alliance for Innovation and Justice (BIG) was founded through the merger of the BFF with two regional electoral associations from Cologne and Gelsenkirchen. BFF has been called BIG Bonn since then. Yildiz became federal and NRW state chairman of the party as well as BIG top candidate for the NRW state elections. He named educational equality and integration through the municipal right to vote for foreigners, easier naturalization and easier family reunification as goals of the party. In addition, "local Muslims have a keen sense of discrimination because they are affected by it themselves", and "this sensitivity" is to be brought in "for the whole population". The party failed at the five percent hurdle and Yildiz stayed on the Bonn city council. Since the four city council seats in Bonn and Gelsenkirchen in the local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2009 , the BIG party has not been able to win any further mandates.

Positions

In mid-January 2011 the Bonner General-Anzeiger quoted from an internal paper of the State Criminal Police Office with the title "Evaluation project Islamist scene Bonn" from the first half of 2010. Among other things, the report listed "175 people as possible members of the Islamist-terrorist potential in Bonn", including the Kessenicher brothers Chouka alias Abu Ibraheem ( Yassin Chouka ) and Abu Adam ( Mounir Chouka ), who grew up in Tannenbusch, and Bekkay Harrach, who grew up in Tannenbusch . Compared to the Bonner General-Anzeiger in January 2011, Yildiz considered an increase of ten civil servants in the field of combating Islamic extremism in the Bonn state security service as "excessive". Instead, the Islamists should be approached and dialogue sought. He had previously said in an interview with the Express (regional edition Bonn) on January 21: "If the protection of the constitution is so certain that there are potential assassins in Bonn, then they should arrest them".

On March 31, 2013, Easter Sunday , a "benefit event for Syria" was to take place in the Bad Godesberg town hall . The General-Anzeiger Bonn researched in advance that a meeting of Salafists was to be expected, as, among other things, the well-known organization "The True Religion" with its nationwide Koran distribution campaign "Lies!" had appeared as a sponsor. Due to an intervention by the citizens' movement pro NRW , the rental contract was terminated by the town hall. In a press release from BIG, Yildiz denied the entanglement in Islamism : "The vague explanations suggest that the organizers are wrongly assumed to be close to extremism." Even after illegal arms deliveries, financed by donations from the "charity events", to Islamist terrorists in the Syrian civil war at the end of November 2013, Yildiz is of the opinion that he must act as a "bridge builder". He refuses to ostracize his militant brothers and sisters in society.
