The German government has taken decisive action against Muslim Interaktiv, a group it accuses of violating fundamental human rights and democratic principles, by officially banning it on Wednesday.
Authorities allege the organization promotes antisemitism and discrimination against women and sexual minorities, undermining Germany's constitutional values. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt warned that the group poses a threat by advocating for Islamic law above German law.
Simultaneously, searches were conducted in several cities including Hamburg and Berlin against two other Muslim groups under investigation, Generation Islam and Reality Islam, in efforts to curb extremism.
