Millatu Ibrahim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Millatu Ibrahim or Millatu-Ibrāhīm ( Arabic ملة إبراهيم, 'Religion of Abraham') is a Salafist organization that is banned in Germany . The founder and first leader of the group is Mohamed Mahmoud , who left for Egypt in April 2012 and later joined the Islamic State (IS) . According to matching media reports, Mahmoud was killed in Syria at the end of 2018. Another high-ranking member was Denis Cuspert , who fought on the side of jihadists in the civil war in Syria . According to German security authorities, Cuspert is also said to have died in Syria.

The name of the organization is of Koranic origin (cf. e.g. Sura 2 : 130; Sura 4 : 125).

history

Millatu Ibrahim was founded in autumn 2011, was based in a backyard mosque in Solingen and had almost 50 members until the ban. In addition to Mohamed Mahmoud and Denis Cuspert u. a. Robert Baum, who killed numerous soldiers in a suicide attack in Syria in 2014, and Christian Emde , who gave an interview to journalist Jürgen Todenhöfer in Mossul in 2014. In this he threatened Germany with attacks by IS. Emde is also said to have been killed in the Syrian civil war, apparently by a drone attack.

On May 29, 2012, Federal Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich decreed a ban against Millatu Ibrahim “because of efforts against the constitutional order and the idea of international understanding ”. As an example, he cited that Millatu Ibrahim legitimized the violent riots in Solingen and Bonn at the beginning of May 2012 in “combat videos” and called for further acts of violence. In the violent riots on May 1, 2012 in Solingen, in which Islamists protested against the showing of the Mohammed caricatures by the citizens' movement pro NRW and injured police officers in the subsequent riots, protagonists of the Salafist group had taken the lead. In a nashid on May 12, 2012, leaders of the organization also announced massive violence.

On June 14, 2012, there was a raid against the Islamist network, the largest against extremist Muslims in the history of the Federal Republic. According to German security authorities, members subsequently withdrew to Egypt, where the Salafists have received a strong political boost since the fall of Mubarak to regroup and continue their propaganda activities.

On March 13, 2013, the Federal Ministry of the Interior announced that the Gladbeck- based organization An-Nussrah as a sub-organization of Millatu Ibrahim had also been banned. At the same time there were seizures and searches.

A short time after the ban, Milatu Ibrahim's remaining supporters in Germany formed anew under the name "Tauhid Germany" . Hasan Keskin (aka Abu Ibrahim) appeared as the leader this time. The Tauhid Germany association was also banned on March 26, 2015 by the then Federal Minister of the Interior, Thomas de Maizière, as the successor organization to Milatu Ibrahim. Nothing is known about the current whereabouts of Keskin, who was finally sentenced by the Wuppertal Regional Court to a prison term of two years and seven months and then went abroad. A European arrest warrant is currently being sought after Keskin .

Regardless of the state prohibition measures, radical Salafists are said to be still active in the Bergisch city triangle (Remscheid, Solingen and Wuppertal) . The protection of the constitution assumes around 200 people in this regard.

reception

In September 2014, the Berliner Kurier reported that the former rapper Denis Cuspert had led the brigade of the banned Millatu Ibrahim on August 24, 2014 in Mosul .

The Bosnian-Danish drug trafficker Mesa Hodzic, arrested on August 31, 2016 in the alternative settlement Christiania in the Danish capital Copenhagen , who resisted the arrest by shooting several times in the head and legs of the arresting police officers and an uninvolved passer-by, also belonged to the group Millatu Ibrahim, he was also considered a sympathizer of the Islamic State , although the Danish police see no connection between the crime and the Islamist organization.
