Hanau (dpa / lhe) - A good ten months after the racially motivated attack with nine dead in Hanau, the Hanau imam Macit Bozkurt called for further efforts against racism and right-wing extremism.
The breeding ground for such attitudes must be withdrawn - whether it is about growing Islamophobia in Germany or racist abuse of people of other origins in everyday life.
"We have to do something in schools and approach each other," says Bozkurt of the German Press Agency.
It is important to understand differences as an enrichment of society and to live diversity and democracy.
A 43-year-old German shot nine people with foreign roots in Hanau on February 19, 2020, before presumably killing his mother and finally himself.
Most recently it became known that, according to a posthumous expert opinion, the man was mentally ill and suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, coupled with a right-wing extremist ideology.
Hesse's Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU) said that the terrorist act of February 19, 2020 in Hanau had deeply shaken the entire state.
The country remains committed to the memory of the deceased.
"The terrible act remains a warning and motivation for all of Hessen in the fight against hatred."
In order to counter right-wing extremism and hate in a concentrated manner, the pressure on the scene had been increased with the police "Special Organizational Organization Hessen R".
In addition, there is the reporting office hessengegenhetze.de as a low-threshold reporting platform with close links to the law enforcement authorities.
