German Muslim Community

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German Muslim Community eV (DMG) , formerly the Islamic Community in Germany eV (IGD), is one of the oldest Muslim organizations in Germany. The community founded in 1958 is assigned to the extremist Muslim Brotherhood . The Office for the Protection of the Constitution assumes that its leading members intend to "found an Islamic state in the medium term".

History and work

It was founded as a mosque building commission in Munich, later renamed Islamic Community in Southern Germany and in 1982 Islamic Community in Germany eV . The IGD is a founding member of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany (1993), the Islamic Council in Germany (1989) and the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (1989). Ibrahim El-Zayat , who has been in office since 2002, was chairman of the Muslim Student Association in Germany (MSV).

Over the years the IGD has published extensive publications on Islam in German, including a series of publications by the center in Munich that it founded . It is also an amalgamation of other Islamic centers in many German cities, including Berlin , Nuremberg, Marburg , Frankfurt , Stuttgart , Cologne , Münster and Braunschweig . The community maintains mosques and educational institutions and organizes the meeting of German Muslims every year . Its founding history should indicate a proximity to the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood. The "Islamic Center of Munich", founded by Said Ramadan , is in Egypt -based Muslim Brotherhood close, advocating a strictly conservative Islam.

The magazine Al-Islam was founded in 1958 by Malik Assmann and H. Achmed Schmiede in Cologne and was continued by Schmiede in Munich until 1979. Since then the editor is Ahmad von Denffer . There is now only a web edition.

In 2018 the organization changed its name for the third time to Deutsche Muslimische Gemeinschaft eV (DMG).

Observation by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution

The extremist Muslim Brotherhood uses a large number of “Islamic Centers” for its activities in Germany. The IGD is the organization with the largest number of members. According to the Bavarian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution , the IGD has 600 members across Germany, 120 of them in Bavaria . It is considered "as the German headquarters of the Egyptian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood". The long-time supreme leader of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammed Mahdi Akef, who lived in Cairo, described the then President of the IGD, Ibrahim El-Zayat , in an ARD television report as the “head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Germany”. El-Zayat denied that.

Burkhard Freier , head of the NRW constitutional protector, says: "The IGD and the network of cooperating organizations pursue one thing above all, despite assurances to the contrary: the establishment of Islamic states of God and ultimately also in Germany."

In the opinion of the CDU member of the Bundestag Kristina Schröder , later Federal Minister for Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth , who stated that she relied on information from the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of the Interior, “the connections of the organization in the area of ​​Islamic extremist groups as well to an Islamic aid organization that is suspected of secretly supporting Islamist terrorism. "

On November 15, 2014, the Cabinet of the United Arab Emirates published a list of 83 Islamic terrorist organizations . The IGD is the only German organization listed here.
