Islamists Rally Against "Islamophobia" in Hamburg
Over 1,000 protest alleged anti-Muslim bias, demand establishment of caliphate
Hamburg, Germany - More than 1,000 Islamists marched through the streets of Hamburg on Saturday, demanding the establishment of a caliphate and protesting against alleged anti-Muslim discrimination in Germany.
Chanting "Allahu Akbar" and carrying banners with slogans like "Stop Islamophobia" and "Support the Caliphate," the demonstrators called for a government that follows Islamic law instead of the German constitution.
The rally was organized by the group "Hamburg gegen Islamfeindlichkeit" (Hamburg Against Islamophobia), which claims that Muslims in Germany are facing increasing hostility and discrimination. The group's supporters argue that the establishment of a caliphate would protect Muslim rights and freedoms.
However, German authorities have denounced the group's demands as "anti-constitutional" and called on the protesters to respect the rule of law. Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said that "anyone who prefers a caliphate to the German constitution is free to leave our country."
