in Berlin-Tempelhof, the Islamic Center (IZH) was banned in a comprehensive police operation. This event is a significant step in the fight against extremism. It is not only about the premises of an organization, but also about the basic values ​​of democracy that are attacked.

Protection and basic values ​​

The ban on the IZH was announced by the Federal Ministry of the Interior on July 24th. The interior senator of Berlin, Iris Spranger (SPD), underlined the importance of this step: "Today's measures show that constant attacks on our central basic principles such as the principle of democracy and rule of law are not accepted." This makes it clear that the measure package is not only preventive, but also serves to defend the values ​​of living together.

Positive feedback from the police union

The police union also expressed a positive statement about the measures taken. The head of Berlin Stephan Weh thanked the emergency services and made it clear that the capital had to pay particular attention to the radicalization of young people: "That is why we have to take a closer look at where young people in particular are radicalized." This statement emphasizes that the prevention of extremism is a social responsibility that also takes care of the police.

Raids in several cities

The raids not only took place in Tempelhof, but also in Hamburg and other federal states. In Berlin, both the rooms of the IZH and three private apartments were searched. This shows that the measures were far -reaching and well organized to unmask possible extremist networks.

Meaning of trade for the community

The ban on the IZH is important because it sends a signal to the entire society that hatred and agitation has no place. Spranger emphasized that "the demand for a person's human dignity cannot be expressed often enough. This request is aimed not only at the political actors, but to all citizens, to work for a respectful and peaceful coexistence.

Overall, the ban on the Islamic Center and the associated raids show how serious the German authorities take the challenge of extremism and that the protection of our democratic values ​​is a common task.
