well already we've heard actually from the central council of muslims in germany as well asking for more protection and of course it does so saying here in hand all comes only just a couple of days after there were raids across germany in which a far right extremist terrorist cell and many arrests were made of that terrorist cell some 12 people were arrested and they were supposedly plotting attacks against politicians against migrants and against muslims so again the central council for muslims in germany would reiterate in those calls today to make sure that places are protected and that migrants and asylum seekers and muslims and people of any different kind of religion that everyone is protected but at the core of that really is an identity crisis in germany asking should these measures really even be necessary when everyone is supposed to be be treated the same and be on the same level playing field and clearly for some groups in german society that is simply just not the case right now let's conceptualize this attack in fact because there have been other right wing extremist terror

i think populism is actually too soft the word we heard from the head of the biggest muslim organization here in germany the council of muslims saying that this was an attack on democracy and it really goes at the haas of what an open society is made of a free society it's how we you stand up for your minorities that is actually seen as an indication crossed the globe as to what the state of a democracy is and now the onus is on politicians tonight and we dems interior minister. actually recognize this to take on responsibility and to assess what they can do not just in the immediate aftermath of this but also to address the political climate here already seen a very very tough exchange between big 10 parties like the social democrats actually directly accusing the far right if the party of spreading this venom of hate in society the far right if you rejecting this saying that this was a lone attack that this was a way of the other party is trying to instill mental eyes these events so we'll see a lot of tough exchanges ahead but this evening is all about solidarity for the victims and it will be very interesting t

racism against muslims and islam have on the 2 previous make proposals because it's managed recommendations this is a demand we support as spokesman of the modern national council of muslims and also organs the behalf of the nation chief of wide mosque associations all denies that they. would like to present my and our catalogue of demands container 7 demands 1st thing before them for more money and also the demand of mrs pitman mounds and demand an expert commission must come here and things leaders who got suspicious and it's not the board that proposes measures against the advice to make races and as some of your good also monitors the implementation of these however and we want to war on that front to focus on india to dilute the results of such a commission and by applying a dilution of those who are in terms of the topics and the representatives the muslim associations and. and to do this must be an essential core of such a commission because it's about race and fear as we're talking here the 2nd point we demand is a general rethinking in this society of debate in particular it's the acceptance. not the acceptance but the recognition off the problems and

but these people need to be heard so what comment the central council of muslims in germany has already suggested deploying its own security staff to protect mosques and other meeting places but not everyone in hannele thinks that's a good idea you have here we have laws in this country you imagine if everyone started carrying their own guns around. we would all end up fighting each other if you know what i mean. german lawmakers and high ranking state representatives came to hand after the killings to express their sympathy. the government has now acknowledged that far right extremist terrorism poses a great threat to our democracy and must be countered german interior minister forces e who 1st has promised that police will be extra vigilant in protecting mosques. but despite these reassurances the handle killings have left many people of foreign descent like hannah and his sisters question their relationship to the german state . and how often people in had now are wondering will there be another attack and who will be targeted this time where and how much we want the government to as

it's important to have an open door policy to welcome people of all faiths and that's a bit the muslim council. we host a visit my mosque day every year with over 250 mosques inviting their neighbours and so it's important they have and are open to visitors but it's difficult to balance with the security issues. visitors but it's difficult to balance with the security i55ue5.m it balance with the security issuesm it your sense that there's been a rise in attacks on muslims in this country? we know that has been a rise in hate crime rate in general but also in religious hate crime and over those attacks having to be muslims and identifiably muslim is also arson at mosques that we have seen and the attacks inc. research last year were very disturbing and i know that's really worrying for the muslim community. thank you very much indeed. from the muslim council of britain and just to reiterate that we are hearing from june kelly are home affairs correspondent that police are not treating this stabbing as terror related. bringing more and that as it comes to us. the german chancellor angela merkel
