On Wednesday, the German government announced the banning of a Muslim organization known as Muslim Interaktiv. The decision follows accusations that the group was in violation of basic human rights and the country’s democratic values. In addition, the government conducted raids against two other Muslim organizations, Generation Islam and Reality Islam, as part of a broader investigation into extremist activities.

The Interior Ministry described Muslim Interaktiv as a threat to Germany's constitutional order, specifically citing its promotion of antisemitism and discrimination against women and sexual minorities. The ministry asserted that the organization sought to instill a singular Islamic framework for societal governance, arguing that Islamic law should supersede German law within the Muslim community, particularly concerning women’s rights and treatments.

Germany's Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, emphasized that the government would utilize the full scope of the law to confront groups advocating for a caliphate, inciting hatred against the state of Israel, and undermining the rights of women and minorities. He stated that organizations like Muslim Interaktiv would not be allowed to destabilize the nation’s democracy or attack it from within.

The ministry’s statement highlighted the group’s particular opposition to gender equality and diverse sexual orientations, labeling such intolerance as fundamentally incompatible with democratic principles and human rights. The German authorities also pointed out that Muslim Interaktiv aimed to indoctrinate individuals, thereby creating “permanent enemies of the constitution” and perpetually undermining the country's constitutional order.

In a coordinated operation, law enforcement searched several premises on Wednesday, including seven locations in Hamburg, as well as 12 sites in Berlin and the central state of Hesse. These actions were linked to the ongoing investigations into Generation Islam and Reality Islam.

Following the announcement of the ban, the online presence of Muslim Interaktiv appeared to have been taken down, and the organization was unavailable for comment. The raids are part of a larger effort by the German government to combat extremism and ensure the integrity of the constitutional order in the country.
