This mosque is the nest of spying and destruction of the terrorist regime of Iran in Hamburg, Germany

The Hamburg Blue Mosque is an important center of the Iranian government's activity in Europe."

The Hamburg Office of Internal Security says it has obtained new documents showing that the Islamic Center of Hamburg is not only affiliated with the Iranian government but "one of the most important institutions of the Iranian regime in Europe." The activity of this center is highly controversial.

According to the newspaper "Die Welt" and the website of the German television channel NDR, the Hamburg Internal Security Office (Institution for the Protection of the Basic Law) has made serious and new accusations against the Blue Mosque (Imam Ali Mosque) or the Islamic Center of Hamburg. The activities of this center have been controversial for many years. The Hamburg Department of Homeland Security now says it has obtained documents showing that the mosque is "a direct center of the Islamic regime's activities" in Germany.

According to Marco Haas, a spokesman for the organization, the Blue Mosque ostensibly identifies itself as a place of cultural activity to be recognized in German society as an institution with which to engage in dialogue, but documents and evidence show that " "This center is directly connected to the Iranian government and is controlled from there, and its goal is to export the Islamic Revolution to the whole world."


The new findings also indicate "links between the mosque and the terrorist organization Hezbollah in Lebanon," De Welt was quoted as saying by the Hamburg Department of Internal Security.


The Hamburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution reports "personal and ideological relations" between the Islamic Center of Hamburg and Hezbollah. In May of this year, the German Interior Ministry banned three associations that were said to be raising funds for Hezbollah in the country.


According to the Hamburg Department of Homeland Security, the Blue Mosque supports Hezbollah's "local terrorist party structures" whose activities are banned.


Government letters to the President of the Islamic Center of Hamburg


The Islamic Center of Hamburg has always claimed to be independent of the Iranian government. But the German Internal Security Administration says its new findings include documents and letters from the Iranian government to the head of the mosque.


Mohammad Hadi Mofteh, head of the Islamic Center of Hamburg, said in an interview with Die Welt months ago that "neither before nor after the revolution did the Islamic Center of Hamburg have any ties to the Iranian government." Of course, he also said that he was in personal contact with Ayatollah Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic.


According to Die Welt, the new documents now show that Mofteh is even required to follow the instructions of the Iranian regime, and in several letters to Mohammad Hadi Mofteh he has been referred to as "the esteemed representative of the Supreme Leader, the head of the Islamic Center of Hamburg."


According to the documents, "this suspicion is officially confirmed that Mofteh is the official representative of Ayatollah Khamenei." Mufti also received a letter from a celebrity denying the Holocaust. The Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Hamburg) emphasizes that the activities of this center are not in line with the values ​​of the German Constitution.


In an interview with Die Welt, Marco Haas, a spokesman for the organization, said that the new data confirmed that the Islamic Center of Hamburg was "one of the most important institutions of the Iranian regime in Europe."


The Blue Mosque of Hamburg regularly holds religious ceremonies and celebrations, as well as a magazine for Muslim children.


Anti-Semitic propaganda and propaganda of Islamic "punishment"

Among the charges against the center are its anti-Semitic activities and propaganda. According to the Hamburg Department of Homeland Security, the Islamic Center of Hamburg publishes books that use anti-Semitic stereotypes."


Other books from the center suggest that governments should act in accordance with Islamic law, such as violent "hadd" punishments such as stoning and flogging.

At the end of last year, the newspaper Die Welt covered the role of the Islamic Center of Hamburg and its relations with the Iranian regime in a television documentary. Christoph de Veris, a member of the Christian Democrats in Hamburg's local parliament, said the center should have been banned long ago. But despite warnings from the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the Hamburg Senate apparently saw no reason to question the state's agreement with the Council of Islamic Communities in Hamburg, as the Blue Mosque is also part of the council.


The website of the German television channel NDR also wrote that it is not yet clear what the consequences of this accusation will be for the Islamic Center. History shows that the last time the Al-Quds Mosque in Hamburg was closed was in 2010, where it had been a meeting place for Islamists for years. In addition, the Hamburg parliament, where the Green Party and the Social Democrats have a majority, has so far supported the mosque.


In this regard:

"Complaint against the Islamic Center of Hamburg for holding a memorial service for Qassem Soleimani"

The Islamic Center of Hamburg recently held a ceremony in honor of Qassem Soleimani. Representatives of various parties in Hamburg protested the event, calling for the cancellation of the city's contract with Islamic associations, including the Islamic Center.


Attempt to end the activities of the Islamic Center of Hamburg

The Hamburg branch of the German Christian Democrats has called for a ban on the Islamic Center of Hamburg. The reason for this is the support of this Islamic institution for Hezbollah and its enmity with Israel. This Islamic center belongs to the Islamic Republic of Iran.


German Jews demanded a permanent ban on the Al-Quds Day march

The Israeli-German Association has called for a permanent ban on the Al-Quds Day march in Berlin. This march is held every year. On the other hand, the head of the American Jewish Committee in Berlin has called for the closure of the Islamic Center in Hamburg.
