Kiel: Uni withdraws rights of the Islamic university group!

At the Christian Albrechts University (CAU) in Kiel, the signs are on storm. In the midst of allegations of anti -Semitism and misogyny, the University of the Islamic University Group (IHG) has withdrawn its rights. In the future, the group members will no longer be able to use the university's rooms and digital infrastructure. This is reported by the F.A.Z. href = "https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article25631488/Universitaet-kiel-antisemitism-und-frauenfeitlicht-steit-um-islamische-hochschulgruppe.html" Class = "Source_2"> Welt .

The decision of the CAU does not come out of nowhere. It is the result of serious incidents that took place during the IHG IHG week from May 5th to 9th. According to eyewitness reports, there was not only a gender -separated seating arrangement, but also questionable anti -Semitic stickers. In the middle of this controversial, a speaker appeared who is assigned to Salafism. The university leadership has now considered serious and found that trust in the IHG was "sustainably shaken".

a resignation and a bitter action

In the course of these developments, the board of the IHG announced its resignation. This happens after the university examines legal steps that could lead to the exmatriculation of individual students or even house bans. A criminal complaint is also conceivable. Vice President Catherine Cleophas emphasizes that the allegations do not correspond to the guiding principles of the university, which further fuels the situation. The Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein, Daniel Günther, calls for a rapid clarification of the incidents.

The IHG, on the other hand, defends itself against the allegations and denies that a compulsory measure to be separated was carried out. It states that the seating is voluntary and wants to take different needs into account. However, it does not well with the university management, which has decided a preliminary suspension of the recognition of the IHG in order to clarify the group's perspective to plan and implement the event.

political support for the ban

The political support for the measures of the university is not least due to the assessment of the protection of the constitution, which sees an proximity of the IHG to Salafism. Christopher Vogt, head of the FDP parliamentary group in the Schleswig-Holstein state parliament, confirmed his support for the ban on the IHG and the necessary steps to check.

The situation remains tense, while society and university are pushing for clarification of the incidents. This could mean the end of an era for the IHG, while the university makes it clear that there must be no space for anti -Semitism and discrimination in its rooms and academic work. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and what legal consequences could follow.
