Interview by BR Chanel

On 17th March, BR Chanel visited the Mosque and had my brief interview about the statement of Minister of Interior Germany in which he stated that Islam does not suit Germany. My views were recorded about this, in which I mentioned that we respect his views but do not agree with them. It was explained that Islam has been presented by this Mosque for more than 90 years and it has never created any problem for Germany. There is the possibility that some misguided Muslims may be a problem but Islam and the majority of Muslims will never be a problem for Germany; rather they are an asset.

Model of the Mosque

A very famous late Police officer in Berlin, Mr. Werner Textor, made a model of the Mosque with great love and accuracy. He was born on 2 Decenber 1920 and died on 15 June 2015. He wanted to become an architect but joined the Police. He kept his passion alive, making models of buildings and so he chose our Mosque. His wife and son Mr. Martin Textor graciously donated this model to us. We all members of AAIIL appreciate their noble gesture.
