In Bremen, an awareness campaign about the threat of Islam was stopped after criticism from Muslims.
On November 4, the Ministry of Lands for the Protection of the Constitution launched a campaign on the threat posed by followers of Islamic ideology. According to the intelligence service, they are trying to infiltrate state and public buildings in order to use legal means to establish a "religiously based order" that overrides the German Basic Law.
"Warning: friendly on the outside, anti-democratic on the inside. Islamist infiltration is a threat. Look through the front," reads the poster, which depicts a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Following criticism from the local Muslim community, Bremen's inner-city senator, Eva Hogel, announced the end of the campaign. She admitted that the photo could create a false impression that suspicion of Islamist beliefs extends to all Muslims without exception. "The lives of Muslims are an integral part" of the federal state, she added.
