Mosque in Germany receives letter with neo-Nazi threats
BERLIN, Germany – A mosque in a central German city has received a racist threatening letter.
Quoting a religious representative, Turkish Anadolu news agency reported that a mosque in Duisburg received a letter that included a swastika with Nazi symbols and the word NSU 2.0, referring to a neo-Nazi group.
The group is responsible for several racially motivated murders.
The Duisburg Central Mosque is affiliated with the Turkish Muslim umbrella organization DITIB.
The chairman of the DITIB central mosque association, Yusuf Aydin, said on Saturday that they had passed on the racist letter to the police and filed a criminal complaint.
The mosque has already received more than a dozen such threatening and insulting letters.
Separately, the DITIB press office said a supporter of the Kurdish terrorist organization PKK had damaged a Turkish flag on the wall of the Selimiye mosque in Bremen in northwestern Germany.
Hidayet Tekin, head of the Bremen Selimiye Mosque Association, said they hung Turkish, German, and DITIB flags on the wall of the mosque for a weekend bazaar.
“We saw from the camera that the attacker, who was a supporter of the terrorist organization, targeted only the Turkish flag,” said Tekin.
Police have opened an investigation. Footage of the attack was shared by the suspect on social media.
