“Our sensitivities and what we consider as sacred were ignored during the raid which was executed by the German police force at the time of Fajr prayer in Mevlana Mosque which is one of the central mosques of the region. Here I fiercely condemn such act which is full of hatred.

We have been witnessing that the discourse of hatred which is produced upon Islamophobia especially in Europe is being supported by the official institutions as well. No excuse can be accepted for such discriminative and disrespectful act which was executed against the Muslims!”
