Iran summons German ambassador

TEHRAN, Jul. 24 (MNA) – Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned German Ambassador to Tehran Hans-Udo Muzel on Wednesday.

The summoning came after Germany, in line with the Islamophobic policies of Western and European countries, shut down the Islamic Center Hamburg (IZH) on Wednesday.

While warning the German government about the consequences of such destructive actions, the West European Affairs Director General of Foreign Ministry stated in this meeting, "Such actions are a clear example of confronting the freedom of thought and expression and actually promoting violence and extremism."

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser claimed on Wednesday that the Islamic Center Hamburg (IZH) would be banned for propagating extremism, Dnyuz reported.

Also. dozens of German police forces raided the Blue Mosque in Hamburg early on Wednesday morning.

The mosque, located in a central upmarket area on the shore of the northern German city's Outer Alster Lake, is run by the Islamic Centre Hamburg, according to Yahoo News.

The Imam Ali Mosque, known locally as the Blue Mosque, is one of Germany’s oldest mosques.
