Withdrawal of the IZH from the Schura brings relief

The background to this is the city's state agreements with the Muslim associations in which the IZH was involved via the Shura and which are now being evaluated after ten years. On Sunday evening, Shura chairman Fatih Yildiz announced that the IZH had announced its resignation from the council at the Shura general meeting.

"With the withdrawal of the IZH from the Schura, a lengthy process is easing: We can concentrate on the content again and thus push the evaluation and further development of the contracts," said the religious-political spokesman for the SPD parliamentary group, Ekkehard Wysocki. Criticism of the IZH is by no means aimed at the Shiites. "Rather, the proximity of the IZH to the Iranian regime is problematic, worthy of criticism and unacceptable.

"Of course you can close your eyes to this localization."

In her statement, the Schura had wished the IZH "all the best for the future and orientation" and assured that she would be "available as a brother and sister with her expertise even after leaving".

According to the Hamburg State Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the IZH, which is controlled by Iran and therefore classified as extremist, and which operates the Blue Mosque on the Alster, has been observed by the secret service for years.
