AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a statement, Ayatollah Abbas Kaabi, the representative of the people of Khuzestan Province in the Assembly of Leadership Experts, denouncing the blatant violation of the religious rights of German Muslims and the closure of the Imam Ali Islamic Center (a.s.) and its affiliated centers by the German government, demanded a serious response by the Islamic Ummah and the elites of the Islamic world against this oppressive behavior of the country’s government.
Part of the statement reads, “The blatant violation of the religious rights of the German Muslims, and the closure of the Imam Ali (a.s.) Islamic Center and its affiliated centers by the German government were carried out with absurd accusations and incited by the Zionist regime, and serve extremism..”
بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
الحمدلله رب العالمين و الصلاة و السلام علی رسول الله و آله الاطهار لا سيما بقية الله في الارضين صلوات الله عليهم أجمعين
In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God and his Immaculate family, including Baqīyyatullāh (the one who remains) in the lands by Allah (Imam Mahdi); may the blessings of God be upon them all.
The blatant violation of the religious rights of the German Muslims, and the closure of the Imam Ali (a.s.) Islamic Center and its affiliated centers by the German government were carried out with absurd accusations and incited by the Zionist regime and served extremism and caused great concern for awake consciences and free people.
All over the world, especially in Europe, mosques are symbols of Islamic culture and civilization, promising faith and hope. Mosques and Islamic centers have always been symbols of religion, rationality, spirituality, awareness, freedom, asceticism, piety, justice, progress, and human dignity based on serving God.
Why does the German government violently desecrate the sanctities of innocent, benevolent Muslims who support peace and justice? “لِمَ تَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ؟” (Why obstruct ye those who believe, from the path of Allah?) (Quran, 3: 99)
Why do they seek to prevent people from being in the base of light, and the center of monotheism, justice, and human dignity?
This anti-human behavior which violates human rights, by the German government, demonstrates anti-Islamism and will definitely have the opposite effect.
The freedom-seeking people of the world, especially in America and Europe, declared their strong hatred towards the crimes of the Zionist regime, and the presence and statements of the war criminal and the butcher of Gaza, that is, the criminal Netanyahu, among his evil supporters. They believe that the behavior of the German government strengthens criminals and enemies of humanity, religion, and religious freedom.
It is expected from the Islamic Ummah and the elites of the Islamic world, that while declaring their solidarity with the oppressed Muslims of Germany, confront this oppressive behavior of the country’s government against Islamic culture and civilization, mosques, and Islamic centers, and show a serious reaction.
و لاحول و لاقوة الا بالله العلي العظيم
و سيعلم الذين ظلموا اى منقلب ينقلبون
“And there is no strength and power except from God, the exalted and great”
“And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!” (Quran, 26: 227)

It is worth noting that on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, German media outlets reported that the country’s police forces attacked the Islamic Center Hamburg, as well as other affiliated Islamic centers, and their activities were also banned. In this regard, the German Federal Ministry of the Interior announced that it had banned the activities of the Hamburg Islamic Center and its affiliated centers in Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin for following “radical Islamist goals”. As a result, four Shiite mosques in Germany were closed and the properties of the Islamic Center Hamburg were confiscated.
