(European Conservative) The Christian Albrechts University in Kiel is facing criticism following its recent “Islam Week,” held in early May and organised by the Islamic Student Group.
Participants reported gender-segregated seating, including separate entrances and distinct seating areas for men and women. Women had to sit at the back, men at the front.
In addition, visitors had spotted anti-Semitic stickers on laptops.
A speaker, Sertac [Odabas] of the IMAN organisation — classified by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency as Salafist — also triggered concern.
University Chancellor Claudia Ricarda Meyer stated that the institution “clearly distances itself from any content that is not compatible with the basic values of the university,” and confirmed that an investigation has been launched.
