In his report on the Islamist scene in the southern German towns of Ulm and Neu-Ulm, Roland Ströbele mentions the “incendiary” materials, “inciting hatred” toward Christians and Jews, that were seized by local police during a raid on the “Multi-Kultur-Haus” (MHK), an Islamic cultural center in Neu-Ulm. In a press release issued on December 28, 2005, the Bavarian Interior Ministry explained its decision to have the Multi-Kultur-Haus shut down and provided some examples of the materials seized. Here a translated excerpt:
– A textbook titled “Jihad in God’s Cause” that was seized on August 23, 2005, in the so-called “Women’s Prayer Room” of the MKH contains the following passage: “The special meaning of Jihad runs as follows: Kill the unbelievers, once they have received the call to convert to Islam and have been made familiar with its true meaning. . . .” Another passage of this book asserts: “. . . if non-Muslims should refuse to follow the example of the believers, there is an obligation to kill them.”
– The audiocassettes “No to the Jews / The Thousand-Appeals of the Khalidin” and “El Rawabi El Jihadi”, seized on August 23, 2005, in the MKH library, openly call for the killing of Jews. A citation: “Oh, Most Worthy One, . . . send us bombs to kill the Jews. No to the Jews! No to the Jews!” . . . The CD “Iraq”, which was seized in the kitchenette of the MKH on August 23 2005, contains, for instance, the following: “To triumph does not only mean killing the unbelievers, but also killing oneself in order to strike back at the unbelievers! . . . Whoever fights against the Christians, the Jews, and their allies is a martyr . . .”
