German Islamic groups asked the government the trial of the members of far-right party that regularly provokes ultra-conservative Muslims using cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).
Members of the small extreme-right political party held a campaign event using anti-Muslim caricatures ahead of an election in Germany's most populous state North Rhine-Westphalia on May 13.
In the appeal, an Islamic group in Bonn, western Germany, urged the collection of personal information on Pro NRW members, including their home addresses and work schedules, with the goal of scandalize them in the country.
Several police were injured during recent clashes between Salafi Muslims and Pro NRW members.
The right-wing activists have for several years campaigned against the construction of mosques and have in some protests marched with cartoons of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) that were initially published by a Danish newspaper in 2005, leading to a wave of violence and anger across the Muslim world.
Islam strictly prohibits the depiction of any prophet as blasphemous.
