(National-UAE) An imam who responded to Hamas’s attack on Israel by joking that “everyone has their own way of celebrating October” has been suspended in Germany.
The Islamic Centre Munich distanced itself from the post by Mohamed Ibrahim, saying it had felt “shock and grief” at the events of October 7.
Mr Ibrahim said his post had been misunderstood and was made when he was not yet fully aware of events in Israel.
A backlash over the post was blamed in part for torpedoing an interfaith prayer for peace in Israel and Gaza that had been planned in Munich on Monday night.
