Munster: (AT) - The Constitutional Protection of North Rhine-Westphalia, Pro NRW, a right-wing extremist group wants permission to hold a rally on 7th May in front of the Hiltruper Ahmadiyya mosque, Ahmadiyya Times has learned from several news reports..
A spokesman for Munster Police Department has confirmed the receipt of an application to this effect on Friday, the newspaper, Westfälische Nachrichten, has reported.
Whether the rally will actually take place in front of the mosque was still unclear.
Pro NRW group is referred to as "dangerous for democracy in North Rhine-Westphalia" in the current domestic intelligence report of the NRW Interior Minister, Ralf Jäger.
Disguised as a civil group and behind an innocuous name like "citizens' movement", Jäger says, Pro NRW intentionally trys stirring up fear of foreigners and also convey their anti-democratic and xenophobic ideology.
The Ahmadiyya community in Munster
The mosque targeted for demonstration by the extremist group is Al-Mo'min Mosque (named after God's attribute, 'Bestower of Security'), located at the Hiltruper Hansestraße. The mosque belongs to the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, originally founded in 1889 by Mirzā Ghulām Ahmad of Qādiān, India.
Its adherents are friendly and work to reform Islām, the newspaper observed.
Many constitutional protection experts have attested that the Ahmadiyya community consistently distances itself from extremism and any kind of violence, the German newspaper further noted.
