Today in Hamburg, over a thousand Muslims gathered, led by Joe Adade Boateng, also known as “Raheem Boateng,” from the radical group Muslim Interaktiv. This group has ties to the banned Islamic organization Hizb ut-Tahrir and advocates for an Islamic caliphate, demanding a media that adheres to sharia law, thus challenging the fundamental right of freedom of the press.
Hordes of Muslims gathered in Hamburg on Saturday, demonstrating against the fundamental right of freedom of the press and what they deem as “Islamophobic reporting.” In a show of strength, the Sharia-adherent Muslims from the terror-tied group Muslim Interaktiv gathered to demand an Islamic caliphate where Islamic law would rule. Mobilizing the Umma (the global Muslim community) to establish their Islamic Civilization is their admitted goal. The police arrived with a large contingent.
Around 4 p.m., over 1,100 radical Islamic demonstrators gathered on Steindamm in the St. Georg district of Hamburg. Among them was Joe Adade Boateng (25), the leader of “Muslim Interaktiv,” a successor organization to the Islamic terror group “Hizb ut-Tahrir” (HuT), which has been banned since 2003. Hizb ut-Tahrir was banned in Germany on account of its practice and intention to use force for political ends, as well as its antisemitism. Muslim Interaktiv was founded in Hamburg in 2020 and, like HuT, believes in the establishment of an Islamic caliphate.
In a poster released by Muslim Interaktiv on the social media platform X ahead of the demonstration, they stated:
This Saturday is the day!
We will raise our voices together, in sha Allah
Together, we stand against Islamophobic reporting, both in recent weeks and in recent months.”‘
Their aim is to demonize all Islamic life in Germany.
Come in large numbers and invite all your friends, relatives and acquaintances!
Thousands of people now follow Joe Adade Boateng, who also calls himself “Raheem Boateng,” on Instagram and TikTok. The 25-year-old radicalizes young Muslims on social media and regularly publishes dangerously radical sermons against Israel and the entire Western world.
In past secret meetings with his followers, he is said to have called for the establishment of an Islamic state, or Caliphate, ruled by Islamic law and with a head of state (caliph) elected by Muslims.
The Hamburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution repeatedly warns against “Muslim Interaktiv” and closely monitors the successor organization of HuT, which is financed by shadowy donations.
At the beginning of the demonstration, according to police estimates, around 1,100, mainly young men, had gathered at Steindamm. Almost 80 Sharia-adherent female jihadis, dressed in burqas, stood ten meters apart from the men at the back of the demonstration block.
Many demonstrators wore hoodies that read “Caliphate” and held banners with newspaper pages crossed out and daubed with red paint. Speakers repeatedly attacked the media, accusing them of spreading lies about Muslim Interactive’s goals. Shouts such as “Stop the media agitation!” echoed through the streets repeatedly.
The demonstrators paused at the long line for a rally, where Boateng also stepped up to the microphone.
The organizers were busy filming to create videos for TikTok because Islamic radicals on TikTok are known to host such radical events primarily to feed their social media and recruit more jihadis to their groups.

Despite the ban, the group had previously organized a demonstration in St. Georg at the end of October. In February 2023, the group mobilized 3,500 people for a rally against a Quran burning in Sweden.
Around 5:30 p.m., the gathering in Hamburg dispersed, with no incidents reported.
Understanding the Crucial Role of the Caliphate in Islamic Law
Understanding the impact of a Caliphate on Islamic law is crucial. A Caliphate, essentially an Islamic Kingdom led by a figure representing Mohammad as the leader, greatly influences what actions Muslims may take under Sharia or Islamic law.
When there is no Caliphate, offensive jihad, or war against unbelievers for conquest, lacks a legal basis. All jihad waged without a Caliphate must either defend the religion or be defensive in nature.
However, once a Caliphate is established, Sharia provides a legal basis for offensive jihad, promoting Islamic manifest destiny through the conquest of non-Muslim territory.
The legality of taking sex slaves and other aspects of Quranic life and laws require a Caliphate with a Caliph, the political and military leader of the Caliphate. A portion of all war spoils, including sex slaves, must be paid to the Caliph, resembling the hierarchical structure seen in mafia organizations.
Historical evidence supports these Quranic rules, notably seen in 2014 when various Islamic jihad groups merged to form an emerging Caliphate in Syria and the Levant, later named ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) by the Obama administration. This entity quickly expanded into Afghanistan, parts of Africa, and other Middle Eastern regions, exhibiting aggressive jihad behavior, including acquiring booty and sex slaves, alongside the implementation of harsh Sharia punishments like amputations and stoning.
