Hundreds of Muslims came to the traditional Friday prayer and followed the call of their Imam. The police tried to break up the illegal gathering. Because of the Corona pandemic, there is also a ban on assembly and contact in Germany.

Police and the public order office first tried to organize the meeting in the Berlin district of Neukölln on April 3 in such a way that the prescribed safety distances were observed. When this did not succeed, the event was dissolved in agreement with the Imam.

RBB-Online investigated that the mosque was the Dar-as-Salam mosque observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. As is known from numerous surveys in European countries, orthodox Muslims consider the law and constitution of their new homes to be subordinate to the laws of Islam. The mosque community is one of the largest in Berlin. Before the Corona crisis, around 1,500 people gathered there for prayer every Friday.

This was reported by the police via the short message service “Twitter”. It was still unclear on Saturday morning whether there would be penalties for the Muslims, hundreds of whom ignored the government’s ban on contacting other people. On “Twitter”, many users were annoyed about a suspected unequal treatment. “Were there penalties?! Why not? Or are there penalties only for being German and sitting on a bench?” – Another user suspected that the police should not intervene against the Muslims, as this “was not desired by the left-wing government”.
