‘Caliphate is the solution’: Islamists storm streets of Hamburg shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, demand caliphate in Germany led by ‘converted’ student and his ‘pop-Islamist’ followers

In an Islamist demonstration of power, around 1,100 protestors stormed the streets in the St. Georg district of Hamburg on Saturday (27th April) demanding the establishment of a Caliphate in Germany. According to the German authorities, the event was organised by a person named Raheem Boateng who is linked to an “established extremist group”, Muslim Interaktiv. The radical Islamist group has also shared videos of the rally on social media. 

In the photos and videos that have gone viral, the Islamist mob can be seen demonstrating on the busy Steindamm Street in the city center. Several demonstrators could be seen holding placards and posters that read: “Germany = dictatorship of values”, “Kalifat ist die Lösung“ (Translate – “Caliphate is the solution”), and “Palestine has won the information war”. The mob also chanted “Allahu Akbar” throughout the event, as per German media.

As per German media reports, the speakers called for an Islamic caliphate to be established in Germany. In one of the viral videos, one speaker can be heard describing the caliphate as a “system that… provides security” but is “hated” and “demonised” in Germany which is cheered by the mob with the chants of “Allahu Akbar.”

The Islamists, part of the rally, claimed that the motto of the rally was “Don’t obey the liars”. The organisers claimed that the rally was to protest against so-called Islamophobic policies (of the German government) and alleged media disinformation campaigns against Muslims in Germany while reporting on the Israel-Hamas war.

The demonstrators held posters against German media outlets “Bild”, WELT, “Spiegel”, “Focus” and the “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 the Instagram channel.

The rally demanding Caliphate in Germany was organised by ‘Established Extremist group’, an offshoot of the banned outfit along with a ‘converted’ college student and his pop-Islamists follower: German media

As per German media reports, the organiser of the rally was identified by the Hamburger Morgenpost as Joe Adade Boateng (25) who calls himself Raheem Boateng. Boateng is a German citizen who converted to Islam in 2015 and is now a self-styled imam. As per a report in “Hamburger Abendblatt”, the 25-year-old is studying to be a teacher at Hamburg University, but on Instagram and TikTok he is a kind of Islamist influencer.

He spreads what the paper described as “Islamist propaganda” on social media, including TikTok. According to media reports, the man is also a member of Muslim Interaktiv – an organisation officially designated by the Domestic Security Service (BfV) as an “established extremist group.” It is pertinent to note that this status does not lead to an automatic ban in Germany. However, it allows security officials to take measures against members of the outlet with all available intelligence tools, including covert surveillance, confidential informants, and phone tapping.

Additionally, according to the Hamburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Muslim Interaktiv is an ideologically offshoot of the Islamist Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) that wants to establish a caliphate – dictatorship based on Sharia law. The group has been banned from operating since 2003, the report added. 

According to German outlets, Boateng and Muslim Interaktiv specifically target and radicalises young Muslims in Germany by addressing their problems like perceived discrimination. They present the supposedly simple solution as choosing/prioritising between two issues – German or Muslim, Koran or Basic Law.

As per reports, DFB national player Antonio Rüdiger in particular courted controversy in recent weeks after he showed the Islamist salute – “Tauhid” finger aka ISIS finger, as per German outlets, on his Instagram account and shouted “Allahu Akbar” after a game. However, after his act, Muslim Interactive came out to extend solidarity with him. 


Meanwhile, some participants also waved flags depicting the Islamic creed, the Shahada. They also held up their index finger, the so-called tawheed finger. In Islam, this is considered a symbol of the unity and uniqueness of God but is also used as a symbol by Islamists, German outlet WELT reported.

Repeated occurrence of Islamist rallies in Hamburg, Germany

However, this is not the first time that the Muslim Interaktiv group has called for and carried out an Islamist rally in Germany. In March 2023, the outfit gathered in Hamburg shouting “Allahu Akbar” and raising the slogan: “The future belongs to the Koran”. 

Later in October 2023, shortly after Hamas terrorists attacked Israel in which 1,200 people were killed, the outfit demonstrated with Islamist flags that were modeled on the lines of Taliban and Al Qaeda flags. Back then, the rally had ended in clashes with Police in which they hurled bottles and stones at officers, injuring them. 

The Islamist rallies and call for the establishment of a Caliphate in Germany have sparked concerns among German politicians. 

Kazim Abaci is a migration policy spokesman for the Social Democratic faction in the Hamburg parliament. Abaci called it “unbearable” that Islamists were allowed to freely march through the streets. 

Likewise, Hamburger Morgenpost reported that Herbert Reul, the interior minister of the neighbouring German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, has called for a ban on Muslim Interaktiv “for a long time.”

Congress Shehzada insults Rajas and Maharajas, silent of atrocities of Nawabs, Nizams, Sultans, and Badhshahs: PM Modi rips into Rahul Gandhi

Congress Shehzada insults Rajas and Maharajas, silent of atrocities of Nawabs, Nizams, Sultans, and Badhshahs: PM Modi rips into Rahul Gandhi

Tearing into Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remark that “Rajas and Maharajas used to take away lands”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the Wayanad MP doesn’t speak a word on the atrocities committed by the “Nawabs, Nizams, Sultans, and Badhshahs”, adding that the statement was intended at appeasing a certain ‘vote bank’.

Addressing a mega public meeting at Belagavi in Congress-ruled Karnataka on Sunday, PM Modi said, “The Shehzada of the Congress said recently that our Rajas and Maharajas back in the day were ruthless. They snatched or took away the humble assets of the poor at their whim. The Shehzada insulted the revered Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Rani Chennamma, whose good governance and patriotism still fill us with national pride and honour. Does he not have any knowledge of the contribution of the royal family of Mysuru who we all regard very highly and are proud of?”

Claiming that the Congress leader was silent on the excesses and atrocities committed by Muslim emperors on their peasants, he added, “The Shehzada’s was carefully calibrated, on purpose, to appease a certain vote bank. He did not utter a single word on the atrocities committed by the Nawabs, Nizams, Sultans, and Badhshahs (on their peasants). The Congress seems to have forgotten the grave excesses perpetrated by (Mughal emperor) Aurangzeb, who destroyed thousands of our temples.”

Invoking the glorious legacies of the Hindu rulers and emperors, PM Modi said all that Rahul cares about is his ‘vote bank’.

“The Benaras Hindu Unversity (BHU) could not have been established without the help of the king, who ruled the city back in the day. Maharaja Gaekwad of Baroda had helped Baba Saheb Ambedkar pursue his higher studies abroad. The Congress’ Shehzada knows nothing about this and is making public statements that are aimed at advancing the party’s vote bank politics. The Congress is in an alliance with parties that glorify Aurangzeb. They don’t talk about kings who destroyed our pilgrimage sites, looted them, killed our people while also slaughtering livestock,” PM Modi said.

Earlier, addressing a public meeting in the state, Rahul said, “Many Rajas, Maharajas ruled us back in the day. They did whatever they wished and took away the land of their peasants at will. It was the Congress and its workers who, along with freedom fighters, brought us independence from our oppressors and restored democracy and the rule of law to the country.”

Also taking aim at the ruling Congress over the prevailing law and order situation in the state, PM Modi said, “Since the Congress came to power in Karnataka, the law and order situation in the state has been on a free-fall. The incident in Hubballi (the daylight murder of a sitting Congress corporator’s daughter) shook the country’s conscience. When the bereaved family sought action, the ruling Congress, yet again, preferred appeasement over justice. They do not value the lives of our daughters like Neha (Hiremath). All they care about is their vote bank.”

Neha (23), the daughter of Congress councillor of Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation, Niranjan Hiremath, was stabbed to death on the campus of BVB College on April 18.

The accused, Fayaz Khondunaik, who fled the scene after the stabbing attack, was subsequently arrested.

Neha was a first-year MCA student and the assailant, Fayaz, was her former classmate.

‘Trucks full of thousands of cows at Adani port in Gujarat will be taken to Arab countries for slaughter’: Know the reality behind the viral video

Attempts are underway to disseminate misinformation and false information in the country during the Lok Sabha election. Various claims are being made through posts displaying misleading details. Opposition parties and their supporters make such content viral without researching or looking deeper into the matter. Now, one such video has gained traction on social media which alleges that trucks carrying thousands of cows that will be supplied to Arab countries are stationed at Gujarat’s Adani Port. Furthermore, the Modi administration is being accused of solely receiving money from beef sellers.

One person taunted, “Thousands of cows are standing in trucks at Adani’s port in Gujarat which will be taken to the Arab countries and slaughtered there. Where are you Modi supporters? Let me remind you, donkeys, that the Bharatiya Janata Party has received funds from those who sell cow meat. It is all a game of money.”

Another account uploaded the same video with similar remarks. The clip, which is getting widespread attention on social media is being utilized to criticize the Adani Group and the Modi government. However, none of the detractors attempted to confirm the information, choosing instead to follow the herd and start circulating the distorted information.

“What are these cows doing at Adani Port in Gujarat,” questioned another netizen adding to the mounting fallacy.

Many additional social media accounts have posted the video with bogus details, deceiving people.

However, the reality is completely different than the claim. When the viral video reached OpIndia, we investigated it with the help of social media platforms to find out the truth. We discovered a video (reel) on Facebook after more research. The term Adani Port is visible in Arabic underneath the video with “Beef Market” written on it in the same language.

On further investigation of the footage, we learned that the port witnessed in it is neither of Gujarat nor India, and it is actually located in Iraq. It is named Umm Qasr after the city in which it is situated and is one of the largest ports in the country. According to reports, eighty per cent of commodities are brought to Iraq from here. Additionally, a large number of cows and buffaloes were discovered to be exported from this place to Brazil.

It is the second largest port of the nation after Basra Port which likewise bears the same name as the city it is located in. We also came across many images of Umm Qasr Port when we searched it. The viral video is identical to the photo of the Umm Qasr port which can be easily accessible online.

Moreover, we also gathered information about Adani Group’s ports in Gujarat and pictures of Hazira and Mundra Ports were also examined. It is clearly evident from the photographs of the two ports that they are very different from the widely shared video. Therefore, the footage spread in the name of Adani Port has nothing to do with it or India and is from Iraq. Hence, the social media claim turned out to be a lie.

Notably, the charge that the Bharatiya Janata Party collected funds from companies that export beef is also untrue. Indian law does not allow the export of beef or cow meat, while the export of buffalo beef is allowed. Many media reports wrongly refer to buffalo meat as beef, which is incorrect. Buffalo meat is known by various names, like buffalo beef, red beef, buff, carabeef etc, but using the term beef is wrong.

Congress deceiving people with lies, BJP will never let anything happen to SC/ST/OBC reservations – Amit Shah hits back after Congress shared his edited video

On Sunday, 28th April, Home Minister Amit Shah called out Rahul Gandhi and Congress party for deceiving people by telling baseless lies. Reacting to Congress’s statement where they claimed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would abolish reservation if it came back to power, Home Minister Shah said that the BJP has been in power with the full majority for ten years, if the party had any plan to abolish reservation, it would have done it long back. Notably, Congress used a fake, edited video of HM Shah to make the false claims.

Amit Shah said, “Rahul Gandhi is deceiving people by telling baseless lies. The Bharatiya Janata Party has been in power in this country for 10 years, forming a government with full majority both times. If the BJP intended to abolish reservations, it would have done so already. Narendra Modi has assured all Dalits, backward classes, and tribal sisters and brothers across the nation that as long as the BJP is in power, no one will touch reservations.”

Assuring everyone that BJP would not let anything happen to the reservations, Home Minister Shah said, “Today, I want to tell the people of the country that the Congress party has always attacked the reservations for SC/ST/OBC. When their government came to Karnataka, they cut 4% for minority reservations. Whose reservation got cut? OBCs.”

“Even today, SC/ST/OBC reservations are not allowed at Jamia Millia and Aligarh Universities. The sole reason for this is Congress’s policy towards SC/ST/OBC. They have always opposed the backward society, ignored Baba Saheb Ambedkar, and never worked to deliver justice to the tribals. Narendra Modi is the one who worked to deliver justice to the tribals by appointing Droupadi Murmu as the President. I want to remind the people of the country once again of Modi’s guarantee that as long as the BJP is in politics, there will be no harm to SC/ST/OBC reservations. This is Modi’s guarantee,” said Amit Shah.

Congress shared a fake video of HM Shah

On 27th April, the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of the Telangana Congress party stirred the hornet’s nest after it shared an edited video and falsely claimed that BJP leader Amit Shah has promised to end reservations for the SC, ST and the OBCs.

In a tweet, Congress handle said, “Brothers and sisters who are in the BJP, belong to the SC, ST, OBC minority and are doing politics in the name of religion, please watch this video and take a decision whether to vote for the BJP.

“Let’s teach Amit Shah, Narendra Modi’s BJP party a proper lesson for saying that they will remove the reservations of SC, ST, OBC and minorities if they come back to power with pride and arrogance while enjoying the fruits of reservation given by the Constitution of India,” Telanagana Congress continued to peddle lies.

“Remove BJP from power…Save the country. Let us protect the rights given to us by the Constitution. The Constitution of India should flourish,” it concluded.

The tweet by the Telangana Congress was accompanied by a video of Amit Shah, which has been maliciously edited to give the impression that the Union Home Minister wants to end caste-based reservations.

In reality, the Union Home Minister had vowed to end unconstitutional reservation for the Muslim community and give it to the SC, ST and OBCs.

“They will be punished very soon”, CRPF Inspector General after personnel attacked by militants in Manipur

A day after two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed at their outpost in Bishnupur area of Manipur in an attack by militants, Akhilesh Prasad Singh, Inspector General, CRPF, on Sunday said that the assailants will be identified and punished for their actions very soon.

“It was very sad for all of us, a large number of CRPF personnel have been deployed here and we have been performing various duties during the last year. This was the first time that our remote camp was attacked. The location of the camp was such that it helped them to enter and cause harm to us. We will find out who they were and very soon they will be punished for their actions,” the CRPF IG said.

The personnel who lost their lives were from the CRPF 128 Battalion deployed at the Naransena area in Bishnupur district in the state.
Birendra Kumar Sharma, IG, CRPF West Bengal said that deceased CRPF personnel have been identified as sub inspector N Sarkar and head constable Arup Saini. The injured personnel were identified as inspector Jadab Das (Post Commander) and constable Aftab Ul Hussain.

CRPF IG Akhilesh Prasad Singh said that the deployment of the CRPF in Manipur dates back to the 1980s.

“We have also been doing anti-insurgent operations, law and order duties and security of vital installations. This was before May 3, 2023. Since then, when ethnic clashes took place, many companies of CRPF were inducted and our first responsibility was to control these clashes. We controlled it and tried to restore law and order that includes flag march, patrolling, barricading, crowd control, and instilling confidence in the minds of people,” Singh said.

He pointed out that CRPF personnel had gone for duty as part of the ongoing general elections and the attackers took advantage of it.

“There was a huge deployment of CRPF in the elections and at that time, our force had gone from a few areas for election duty. These anti-social elements got the opportunity. They felt that our strength was less in numbers and took advantage of it,” the CRPF IG said.

“There are very few people who have anti-national thinking. There are many good people but there are a few people, it is a small group that is successful. By small group I mean they have less percentage, they are armed, and they have some locally made weapons. They do not understand what will be the result of this,” he said.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh condemned the “act of cowardice” against the committed security forces who are working relentlessly to maintain peace and stability in the state. He also assured that their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

“Strongly condemn the assault carried out against the Indian security forces, resulting in the tragic loss of two CRPF personnel in the Naransena area of Bishnupur district. Such actions demonstrate cowardice against dedicated security personnel who work tirelessly day and night to uphold peace and stability in the state. Their sacrifice will not go in vain,” wrote Biren Singh on his X handle.

Mahadev Betting App Scam: Actor and ‘fitness influencer’ Sahil Khan arrested By Mumbai Police SIT from Chhattisgarh after hours-long operation

Mahadev Betting App Scam: Actor and ‘fitness influencer’ Sahil Khan arrested By Mumbai Police SIT from Chhattisgarh after hours-long operation

On 27th April, Mumbai Police nabbed actor and YouTuber Sahil Khan, a resident of Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, in the Mahadev Online betting app scam. The development transpired a few days after his questioning by the Special Investigating Team (SIT) for over three hours into the matter. Sahil Khan petitioned for anticipatory bail from the Bombay High Court, but his request was denied, and the court pronounced that he “was directly connected with the online betting application.”

Sahil Khan was involved with the Lotus Book 24/7 betting app website, which is a part of the Mahadev betting app network. The Chhattisgarh Police assisted in Khan’s arrest during an operation that lasted for more than 40 hours. Khan is being taken to Mumbai, according to the officials where he will be produced in a court. Sahil Khan, who has acted in movies such as “Excuse Me” and “Style” is also well-known as a social media and fitness influencer.

Sahil Khan is one of several accused named in the official complaint which was handed over to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) for inquiry. The actor claimed in his petition that, as a celebrity, he “merely acted as a brand promoter,” citing an Influencer Engagement Agreement dated 21st February 2022, with M/s. Isports247, a sports management company for the promotion of the brand “The Lion Book.”

Justice SV Kotwal’s one-judge bench, however, disagreed with the assertion. He mentioned, “The entire operation is illegal. A huge amount is involved. Fictitious bank accounts are created. Different fake SIM cards are used in big numbers. The applicant is directly connected with the app ‘The Lion Book247’.” The bench further stated that up to 67 betting websites were identified by EOW’s inquiry, all of which were under the control of “foreign destinations.”

The court noted, “The probe found that more than 2,000 bogus SIM cards, obtained on bogus documents, were used to lure gullible people to place bets on various games. Over 1,700 bank accounts opened using fake documents were used to collect and withdraw money, which was subsequently routed through Hawala channels and cryptocurrency.”

The size of the scam is about Rs 15,000 crore, as per the first information report (FIR) registered by the police in the case. The complaint was originally filed by the Matunga Police under the Indian Penal Code, Gambling Act, and IT Act and an inquiry into the case is underway. A formal complaint has been lodged by the police against Sahil Khan, Gaurav Barman, Mohit Barman, and other individuals under sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, and 120 (B) of the IPC.

The SIT has been looking into criminal dealings involving the promoters of the notorious Mahadev betting app and some real estate and banking companies in Chhattisgarh. The Mahadev Online betting software was run by Dubai-based Saurabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal. They are both from Bhilai in Chhattisgarh. The pair, based on Enforcement Directorate authorities, had ties to politicians, bureaucrats, as well as the police, and they ensured to avoid the investigative agencies.

The founders of the Mahadev online betting app have allegedly agreements with the D-company, a criminal organisation founded and operated by one of India’s most wanted terrorists, Dawood Ibrahim, who is responsible for the 1993 Mumbai bomb bombings, the ED revealed in December of last year. The Mahadev betting app case made headlines after actors Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, who have appeared in ads for the app, were summoned by the agency for questioning.

The actor Tamannaah Bhatia was also questioned in the case earlier this week about her role in advertising a subsidiary app for the Mahadev betting app. The actor was called in by the Maharashtra cyber cell for using the Fairplay betting application to promote Indian Premier League (IPL) matches.

Congress suffers major blow, party’s Delhi President Arvinder Singh Lovely resigns citing interference and alliance with ‘liar’ AAP

On Saturday (27th April), the President of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) Arvinder Singh Lovely tendered his resignation from the grand-old-party.

“Since my appointment as DPCC President, the AICC General Secretary (Delhi In-charge) has not allowed me to make any senior appointments in the DPCC. My request for the appointment of a veteran leader as Media head of DPCC was blatantly rejected. To date, the AICC General Secretary (Delhi In-charge) has not allowed the DPCC to appoint all Block presidents in the city. Resultantly more than 150 blocks in Delhi do not presently have a Block President,” he said.

“The Delhi Congress Unit was against an alliance with a party which was formed on the sole basis of leveling false, fabricated and malafide corruption charges against the Congress Party. Despite that, the Party made a decision to ally with the AAP in Delhi,” Arvinder Singh Lovely emphasised.

“We respected the Party’s final decision. Not only did I publicly back the decision, I also ensured that the full State Unit fell in line with the High Command’s final order. On instructions from AICC General Secretary (Organisation), I even went to the extent of visiting Kejriwal’s residence on the night of his Arrest along with Subash Chopra and Sandeep Dikshit, despite the same being against my position on the matter,” the ex-President of DPCC noted.

The development comes amid the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. In the meantime, an old tweet by Congress from 2018, welcoming Lovely into the party, has now surfaced on social media.

Congress manifesto promises public work contracts for ‘minorties’, BJP slams party for Muslim appeasement

On Saturday (27th April), the BJP hit out at the Congress party over its pre-poll promise of awarding public work contracts to people belonging to the ‘minority community’.

In a tweet, BJP national spokesperson Amit Malviya said, “Another gem from Congress manifesto: We will ensure that the minorities receive their fair share of opportunities in education, healthcare, public employment, public works contracts, skill development, sports and cultural activities without discrimination.”

“Just how will Congress ensure that minorities (read Muslims) get fair share in ‘public works contract’? Will there be religious quota along with technical and financial bid?” he pointed out.

The BJP spokesperson added, “Will qualified bidders be overlooked in favour of Muslims? Will Hindus have to become subservient to the minorities, to win a public contract, even if they are competent enough to do so on their own? Isn’t this laying the foundation for ‘Tender Ghotala’?”

“The Congress not only wants to capture the wealth of SCs/STs/OBCs, take over small savings of Hindu women, including gold and their mangalsutra, and distribute it among the minorities but also deny them opportunities to earn a livelihood with dignity. What kind of India does the Congress want to build?” Amit Malviya concluded.

Congress and its problematic manifesto

On Page 8 of its ‘Nyay Patra’, the Congress party had declared [pdf] to give a ‘fair share’ of opportunities to minority communities in public work contracts.

“We will ensure that the minorities receive their fair share of opportunities in education, healthcare, public employment, public works contracts, skill development, sports and cultural activities without discrimination,” it had said.

OpIndia had previously reported that the grand-old party is trying to divide the country along caste lines in its manifesto for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
