Protesters call for Islamic state in Germany
by James Jackson, Telegraph:
Muslim Interaktiv leader said a ‘righteous caliphate’ needed to remedy misrepresentation of Muslim groups in the media.
More than 1,000 people marched through Hamburg on Saturday calling for a caliphate in Germany.
Protesters gathered in the northern city for a mostly peaceful demonstration against Islamophobia, but among the masses were calls for an Islamic state.
Joe Adade Boateng, leader of Muslim Interaktiv which organised the march, said in a speech at the march that Germany needed a “righteous caliphate” to remedy the misrepresentation Muslim groups have faced in the media.
He was greeted with cheers of “Allahu akbar”, or God is great, by a mostly male crowd, some of whom were holding up signs reading “Caliphate is the solution” and “Stop the media hate”.
People were also holding up copies of the local tabloid newspaper, Bild, with stories about Islam that had been smeared with red paint.
Since war broke out between Israel and Hamas, Muslim groups have criticised Germany’s strong support for Tel Aviv.
