Investigators swooped on the Hamburg Islamic Center
| …alternately in the Rantburg archives as Hamburg Islamic Centre, Islamic Center of Hamburg, and the Blue Mosque. The simple turquoise edifice is the oldest mosque in Germany, having been completed by the Iranian expat community in Hamburg in 1965. After being monitored by Hamburg police for four decades for Iranian tools, they finally closed it down… |

...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...'s Hezbollah.
Mohammad Mofatteh, 57, the former director of the center, has been ordered to leave Germany within 14 days and faces deportation if he does not comply, the spokeswoman said.
He will not be allowed to re-enter Germany and could face up to three years in prison if he does.
Andy Grote, interior minister for the state of Hamburg, said Mofatteh's deportation was "the next logical step" against the Hamburg Islamic Center.
"As a top religious representative of the inhumane regime in Tehran, his time in Germany has come to an end," he said.
On banning the center in July, Germany's interior ministry accused it of being a "direct representative of Iran's supreme leader" and spreading Tehran's ideology "in an aggressive and bully boy manner."
The ministry also accused the center of backing the "military and political dimension" of organizations like Hezbollah.
Germany considers Hezbollah a "Shiite terrorist organization" and in 2020 banned Hezbollah from carrying out activities on its soil.
Iran reacted angrily to the accusations and last week shut down a German language institute in Tehran in what appeared to be a tit-for-tat move.
The move against Mofatteh comes with deportations high on the political agenda in Germany after a deadly knife attack in the western city of Solingen.
Three people were killed and eight injured in the rampage, allegedly carried out by a Syrian asylum seeker and claimed by the Islamic State

group.
The attack has reignited a bitter debate about immigration in Germany, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz promising to "do everything we can to ensure that those who cannot and must not stay here in Germany are repatriated and deported."
