Act

The Imam preaches in Arabic and his sermons are translated simultaneously . Journalist Sascha Adamek assesses his work as double-faced: In 2016, Taha Sabri gave  a sermon in the presence of a camera team from Al Jazeera in which he demonized every renewal as heresy and postulated the supremacy of Islam over all other religions. It is therefore classified as Islamist by some observers. On the other hand, he offered the leadership association, a non-partisan network organization, the mosque for a meeting with gay leaders. In 2013 and 2014, he had foreign preachers speak in the mosque who were classified as questionable by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution: the Saudi Islamist Muhammad Al-Arifi , who came to Germany despite an entry ban , and the religious scholar Raed Fathi, who is close to Hamas . He publicly regrets inviting preachers to preach jihad. He described the attack on Breitscheidplatz in December 2016 as the "terror of madness". Taha Sabri showed the R4bia gesture, a symbol of the Muslim Brotherhood . Taha Sabri regularly takes part in events organized by the Palestinian Community in Germany (PGD), which are assessed by the protection of the Constitution in North Rhine-Westphalia and Berlin as the representative of the terrorist organization Hamas in Germany . He appeared there as a speaker in 2017. When asked, he refused to distance himself from the Muslim Brotherhood.

Federal Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel also met him in connection with Germany's position on the Jerusalem discussion.
