Correspondence from the AZ directed towards DITIB
In the heart of Wuppertal, the Elberfeld DITIB mosque community has made it clear that they stand for peace, democracy, and the rights of all.
The community, which represents a majority of its members, has distanced itself from the policies of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as well as those of the AKP and MHP parties. They have also expressed their disdain for any formations of the so-called Muslim Brothers, whether they originate from Erdogan's AKP or other groups such as Hamas.
In a recent development, the community has shown support for the democratic principles of community living. They believe that a good neighbour does not encroach on another's property and that political escalation should be avoided. This stance was evident in their response to the construction plans for the Gezi-Gathe-Park, where they were happy with a shift in the planning by 15 meters to the left to save the AZ at the Gathe.
The community has also shown solidarity with the legitimate struggle of Kurdish women and men for self-determination and democracy. They are vocal in their opposition to the headscarf mandate in Turkey and are disgusted by the anti-Semitic and misogynistic rants of Diyanet chief Ali Erbaş.
The community has not shied away from voicing their concerns about political prisoners. They are actively fighting for the release of Ekrem İmamoğlu and other political prisoners.
In a move that has garnered attention, the new leadership of the Elberfeld DITIB community has announced at the next general assembly that they will sever all ties with Turkey and the Diyanet. However, the specific names of the new leadership have not been explicitly named in the available sources. The autonomously organized groups in Wuppertal have been critical of the existing DITIB board and are calling for a break from Erdogan-linked influences.
In a show of their commitment to women's rights, the community has made it clear that they stand up for women's rights and fight against any form of discrimination. They have also expressed their support for the legitimate struggles of people striving for democracy and self-determination.
The Elberfeld DITIB community's stance on these issues underscores their commitment to peace, democracy, and the rights of all, setting a positive example for communities around the world.
