Building a mosque in East Germany | DW Documentary
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Erfurt, Thuringia has around 100 members, so their planned mosque is not particularly large. Nevertheless, the construction project has been met with fierce opposition from some residents.
Suleman Malik is the spokesperson of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Erfurt, which is building a new mosque in an industrial area on the outskirts of the Thuringian city. It’s the first new Muslim place of worship to be built in the former GDR. Opponents have been staging regular protests in front of the site for years. The mosque’s construction has been delayed again and again, with building companies facing intimidation online. Christian churches in Thuringia are standing by the Muslim community, as is State Premier Bodo Ramelow, who was first elected to the position in 2014. But the mood in the state has become increasingly hostile, with political rhetoric getting more and more harsh. In recent state elections, the right-wing AfD emerged as the strongest party. Can Suleman Malik stand up to the anti-Muslim sentiment?

The rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then the poor stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich
I don't hate people of any religion or community! But the sound pollution is bad for your mental health. I am suffering from it in Bangladesh 😅
How about we figure out what country all these donations come from?
THE TRUE FACES OF WHITE SUPREMACY
So much hatred for someone they dont know. The media tells to hate them so they follow like sheep.
Remind me how many churches are in Saudi Arabia?
Can Muslim women marry non-muslim men?
As an ahmadi living in Pakistan and facing the persecution it's very disturbing to see that Ahmadi also now faces the persecution in German.
Getmans should build pagan temples in Pakistan… I want to see something 🤔
Next step: demanding sharia laws.
Ah yes…the " far right "……🙄🙄🙄🙄
Time to finally unsubscribe from this demented propaganda channel.
When secularism grows in a society it fails. Stop destroying the west.
Liberals support Muslims when Islam is against the human rights and values Europe stands for.
Why u called ahmadia Muslim?? They are also like u… In fact ur puppet
If you have courage then learn about ISLAM
How about for every mosque built in Germany, a church or temple is built in Saudi Arabia to promote multi-religious tolerance and harmony.
Imagine if these people protested the construction of a synagogue.
Balochistan issue plz
ahmadiyya community has the goal of building 100 mosques, wow WTF
"Noooo the peaceful Muslims don't feel welcome!!!!"
In Pakistan, Muslims persecute and pogromize Ahmadiyyas, which is why they flee to the West.
Jokers
The belief of Mirza Gulam was considered un-Islamic in his own country, Pakistan. I do not know the number of people who believe in him. Research your faith a lot and learn from the right sources.
Why are people comparing a state like Germany with an theocratic state like Saudi-Arabia? In Germany freedom of religion is a fundamantal right but there is not such a thing in other countrys.
The other question ist why should there be, for instance in Türkiye, a church on every corner? How many christians living there? There are churches in states like İrak, Syria, Türkiye but since christians there are a minority is there a need to built churches? In Germany there are a lot of Muslims who living there since they are born so there is a need to build mosques. Shoul one day the number of christians increase in the islamic state, there also would be a need of more churches. The situation in these countries is totally different..
That should be logical to everyone…
Organized religion is a blight on humanity… all of them.
Ahmadiyya ≠ Muslim.
GERMANY is digging it's own grave kudos
Mosque is place of worship for Muslims . It can be any place like a room, designated as Mosque.
Building minarets is traditional historical design. It has nothing to do with Islam.
The gentleman has done wrong. Just specify a room as Mosque, so that Muslims can offer their regular prayers together. The emphasis is on Muslims getting together for offering prayers which are mandatory in Islam .
So the whole idea of building a traditional Mosque is wrong and a misrepresentation of our Faith Islam.
Can Christians freely build churches in the Arab and Muslim countries?
Remigration
Europe a liberal country says Europe has freedom of speech and freedom of religion 😂😂😂😂 it's seen in the video
Germany Wiil Become G E R M Y S T A N
After mosque completion peace gone

Suleman malik go to jannat and enjoy in company of Allah.
🇩🇪 🇩🇪 🇩🇪
Whatever Go to your room and close the door and pray no one will bother you🤠🕊🫶💯🕊👈💯 peaceful
Allah is almighty.
Ahmadia Muslims are not recognised in other Muslim countries then how do you expect Germany will welcome it😂
Once they grow larger they'll start dictating the community on what they should or should not do. Learn from Lebanon.
Egypt has been slowly driven out Christians and destroying their churches, yet nobody talks about it.
The same people who own Hollywood, the media, the banking system are the ones who own DW Documentary. Stop watching there Documentaries.
Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was shaking hands with Hitler and Muslims generally support Hitler's ideology of er4dicating J3ws. So.. Germany, don't repeat the same mistake again. Fascists exist in many forms.
The gist of this documentry:
Afd = facists
Islam = not facist
You couldn't make this up if you tried.
They could have used the same energy and drive to preach Christianity to their youth who are atheists now 😅
I'm not religious but can I build a big catholic church in yemen? pakistan? or libya?
