800 Pro Palestinian demonstrators gather on Alexanderplatz - Islamist Ahmad Tamim as a speaker

According to a report by BZ Berlin, more than 800 pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered on Alexanderplatz in Berlin on Sunday evening. One of the speakers was the Islamist Ahmad Tamim from the "Generation Islam" group, which, according to the constitutional protection, belongs to the environment of the forbidden party "Hizb UT-Tahrir". In his speech, Tamim claimed that freedom of expression on the subject of Palestine was severely restricted and his speech was broadcast live via Tiktok and Instagram.

The "Generation Islam" is classified by the Protection of the Constitution as part of an Islamist network around the prohibited party "Hizb UT-Tahrir". This party was occupied in Germany in 2003 with a ban on activity, since it rejects parliamentary democracy, strives for the use of Sharia and strives for Israel's annihilation by means of the militant jihad.

In Berlin, over 70 people should belong to the party. In contrast to the "Generation of Islam", which has a stronger consciousness of the shipment, Hut acts mostly conspiratorially and recruited, especially in university circles. The group operates political campaigns across Germany and spreads propaganda and trailer advertising on the Internet and social media.

Ahmad Tamim, the speaker at the demonstration, published a video on YouTube a day after Hamas's terrorist attack on Israel. In this video he described the state of Israel as a colonial project of the Western Powers in the 20th century.

These activities of the Islamist group "Generation Islam" and their connections can have potentially local effects by tightening political tensions between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli groups in Berlin. It is important to monitor such extremist activities and to protect freedom of expression against extremist ideologies.
