Resignation from the project of the Ibn Ruschd Goethe Mosque

Mimoun Azizi was a founding member of the Ibn Ruschd Goethe Mosque . On June 17, 2017, he announced on Facebook - one day after the mosque opened - that he wanted to withdraw from the political discourse “for personal reasons”. On June 21, 2017, he also announced on Facebook that in recent years he had only mingled with the “self-proclaimed reform Muslims” as a disguise in order to conduct a political-scientific study of “ Islamic criticism , Islamic hatred and Islamophobia ”, which he considered an “anti-Muslim Fascism ”. A spokeswoman for the Ibn Rushd Goethe Mosque said that she has not had any contact with Azizi since the statements. Shortly before the opening of the mosque, he had informed Seyran Ateş of his withdrawal by telephone and was also not present at the opening ceremonies. Since Azizi and his family had been threatened by Islamic fundamentalists several times in the past , there was speculation that this revocation was made under duress.
