Berlin: In an Islamist show of strength, approximately 1,100 protestors took to the streets in the St. Georg district of Hamburg on Saturday (April 27th), demanding the establishment of a Caliphate in Germany. German authorities revealed that the event was organized by Raheem Boateng, associated with the extremist group Muslim Interaktiv. The radical Islamist group shared videos of the rally on social media.

The viral photos and videos depict the Islamist mob demonstrating on the busy Steindamm Street in the city center. Demonstrators held placards and posters with slogans such as "Germany = dictatorship of values", "Kalifat ist die Lösung" (translated as "Caliphate is the solution"), and "Palestine has won the information war". The crowd also chanted "Allahu Akbar" throughout the event, as reported by German media.

According to German media reports, the speakers at the rally called for the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in Germany. In one viral video, a speaker described the caliphate as a "system that provides security" but is "hated" and "demonized" in Germany. The crowd cheered with chants of "Allahu Akbar."

The demonstrators claimed that the rally's motto was "Don't obey the liars". The organizers stated that the rally aimed to protest against the so-called Islamophobic policies of the German government and alleged media disinformation campaigns against Muslims in Germany during the Israel-Hamas war.

The protestors held posters against German media outlets "Bild", WELT, "Spiegel", "Focus", and "Tagesschau", accusing them of being deaf, dumb, and blind. A representative of Muslim Interaktiv previously called for a "demonstration against media incitement to Islam" on Instagram.

According to reports, the organizer of the rally was identified as Joe Adade Boateng (25), who goes by the name Raheem Boateng. Boateng is a German citizen who converted to Islam in 2015 and is now a self-styled imam. He spreads what media described as "Islamist propaganda" on social media, including TikTok.

Boateng is also a member of Muslim Interaktiv, an organization officially designated by the Domestic Security Service (BfV) as an "established extremist group." This status allows security officials to take measures against members of the group with all available intelligence tools.

Muslim Interaktiv is an ideologically offshoot of the Islamist Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT), aiming to establish a caliphate based on Sharia law. The group has been banned from operating since 2003.

Boateng and Muslim Interaktiv specifically target and radicalize young Muslims in Germany by addressing issues like perceived discrimination. They present the solution as choosing between German or Muslim identity, the Koran or Basic Law.

This is not the first time the Muslim Interaktiv group has organized an Islamist rally in Germany. In March 2023, the group gathered in Hamburg, shouting "Allahu Akbar" and raising the slogan: "The future belongs to the Koran".

In October 2023, shortly after Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, the group demonstrated with Islamist flags resembling those of the Taliban and Al Qaeda. The rally ended in clashes with the police, resulting in injuries to officers.

The Islamist rallies and calls for the establishment of a Caliphate in Germany have raised concerns among German politicians. Kazim Abaci, a migration policy spokesman for the Social Democratic faction in the Hamburg parliament, called it "unbearable" that Islamists were allowed to march freely through the streets. Herbert Reul, the interior minister of the neighboring German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, has called for a ban on Muslim Interaktiv "for a long time."
