German Foreign Ministry hires Islamist who defends Israel’s destruction
[Jpost] "So she can promote more antisemitic al-Quds marches and justify hatred of the Jewish state."

German Chancellor Angela Merkel

’s Foreign Ministry has been plunged into a devastating new antisemitism scandal for the hiring of a radical Islamist who defends the annual Iranian regime-sponsored rally al-Quds Day calling for the obliteration of Israel.

Andreas Görgen,the director of the Foreign Ministry’s department for culture and communication, welcomed the Islamist Nurhan Soykan on Monday on his Twitter feed, writing that Soykan will be on "our team Religion and Foreign Policy" at the Foreign Ministry.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told The Jerusalem Post that the "German government bemoans antisemitism then appoints secretary-general of the Central Council of Moslems in Germany, Nurhan Soykan, as a consultant for the Foreign Ministry’s Religion and Foreign Policy team. So she can promote more antisemitic al-Quds marches and justify hatred of Jewish state."

In her defense of the antisemitic al-Quds rally, Soykan told German radio station Deutschlandfunk in 2014 that opponents of Israeli politics "who want to show their anger sometimes" must be given the opportunity "to clear the air in the way of a demonstration."

German politicians and Jewish organizations have called for the al-Quds rally to be banned.

The Post first revealed in April that Görgen sent out at least seven tweets in support of an alleged antisemitic academic, Achille Mbembe, who has trivialized the Holocaust and supported Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) activity against Israel.

When asked about the criticism of Soykan, the Germany Foreign Ministry told the Post that "The Federal Foreign Office has been supplementing its classic foreign policy between states for many years with a foreign policy of societies, since 2016 specifically also in the field of religion and foreign policy. Over 80% of the world's population profess a religion."

The ministry added that it "wants to address the responsibility of religions for peace with religious communities worldwide" and "better understand their possible influence on society and politics, and strengthen their constructive potential. Ms. Soykan, like her Christian and Jewish colleague, will advise the Federal Foreign Office on questions of the responsibility of religious communities for peace. Ms. Soykan has represented associations and committees for many years that are dedicated to the topics of religion, understanding and integration."

Soykan represents the German Council of Moslems that serves as an umbrella organization for a spectrum of Sunni and Shi’ite associations and mosques, including radical antisemitic entities. Soykan is a zealous supporter of head coverings for women. She was born in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
and moved to Germany as a young child.

Neo-Nazis, Iranian regime supporters, BDS activists, Hezbollah members, radical leftists and members of the Paleostinian terrorist entity Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine (PFLP) participated in the al-Quds rally in Berlin that Soykan defended.

A spokesperson for Merkel's office defended German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas's decision to hire Soykan. "We have nothing to add to the answer that you received from the Federal Foreign Office on this subject," a spokesperson told the Post.

Outrage in Germany over adviser linked to Turkish nationalists

[TheNational.ae] Politicians in Germany have expressed their misgivings over the appointment of a Foreign Ministry adviser whose role with the country’s Central Council of Moslems links her to a far-right Ottoman Turkish group.

Figures from the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of Germany and the left-wing grouping in the Bundestag have raised concerns over the appointment of Nurhan Soykan, a deputy chairwoman of the central council.

Their warnings relate to the council’s failure to dissociate itself from the Ottoman Turkish nationalist group, the Grey Wolves.

The far-right Death Eater organization has been identified by Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution as having members within the Ottoman Turkish-Islamic Cultural Associations in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
(Atib), the largest member association in Ms Soykan’s Moslem council.

"An organization that tolerates anti-constitutional forces in its ranks cannot be a partner of our state, and its brass hats cannot be in the service of our state," Christoph de Vries, the CDU rapporteur for religious communities, said according to Die Welt.

"This carelessness in dealing with Islamism and nationalism worries me," he added.

Mathias Middelberg, a CDU front man, called on the council to clarify its relationship with Atib and also criticised the appointment.

Ulla Jelpke, a spokeswoman for the left-wing parliamentary grouping in the Bundestag, called the appointment "highly outrageous".

Ms Soykan has also been called out for her position during discussions in 2016 when Germany debated a parliamentary resolution that decried the 1915 massacre against Armenians and other minority groups in the Ottoman Empire as a genocide.

According to reports in the press at the time, she opposed the resolution on the grounds that it eroded the confidence of Germany’s Ottoman Turkish community in national politics.

Ms Soykan later went on to publicly discredit members of the Bundestag of Ottoman Turkish origin who supported the resolution. Many of the deputies had to be put under special protection because of threats from Ottoman Turkish nationalist groups.

After the federal constitution office identified Grey Wolf activists within the membership of Atib, the central council said the association would launch an investigation.

A front man for the Central Moslem Council has said Ms Soykan is not a member of any specific group within the umbrella organization. Turkish-Islamic Cultural Associations in Europe
