For a statement that is second to none, Tarek Mohamad not only receives a lot of support on the Internet, but also death threats.
"I have something big on my heart, I've kept my mouth shut long enough."
With these words Tarek introduces his statement, which he published last Friday after the shooting in Munich. He further writes:
“Whenever I look at my Facebook, I see my compatriots showing off money, agitating against Turks or Kurds, agitating against Germans, agitating against gays and lesbians. Give encouragement to Salafists or IS bastards and think that we Muslims will take over Europe at some point.
I don't want to take Europe!!
I want to live in PEACE with my Turkish, German, Kurdish and Jewish brothers and sisters!
Our countries are contaminated by bombs, violence and war!
We come here thinking we have to act like gangsters! (…)”
I am grateful that I can live here
“Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion! He tolerates every living being on this earth! I love the people here in this country (…) and I am grateful to God that I have been given a life of prosperity and security here! (…)
If you're really serious about it, go there and fight! But stop fighting here in a country where people have won peace with blood! That’s exactly why we came here!”
We have to integrate ourselves here
“We have to respect the women, the men and the people here and integrate ourselves into society. (…)
Stop trying to force belief on people! Live Islam peacefully and otherwise go about your regular work peacefully. There are 1.3 billion Chinese people in this world! I've never heard anything negative about them! But only a minority of my compatriots!
And in every city they now have clans, mafia-like structures and the brothels in their hands! Is this the true Islam I ask you?”
We owe it to the Germans
“Even if some people think I'm crazy, I will register a large demonstration on Monday! (..)
I want the Muslims, the Germans and all other nations to stand up hand in hand in Germany against the bastards of Salafists, IS fighters, amok runners and Nazis and show those who want to make life hell for us and our children that they are here are at the wrong address! We owe it to the Germans, we owe it to peaceful Islam and we owe it to our children!”
We've been silent for too long
“We have to wake up and there has to be a jolt in the new generation of migrants in Germany!
We've kept our mouths shut long enough and just remained silent! Würzburg and today Munich show what happens when you remain silent. Tomorrow the dead can be your friends and family.”

The response has been overwhelming, but Tarek has not only received positive feedback, even though many have said “Respect! and write “Thank you!” and comment with “True words from a fellow citizen!” Tarek also receives a lot of hate mail, including death threats.
“I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for their active participation,”
Tarek later writes on Facebook .
“I received an overwhelming amount of support and also a lot of hate messages and death threats. I don't know how you can be against the fact that we treat each other peacefully (…)
Be peaceful with each other, try to have fun with tolerance and show that your religion is really peaceful. We owe this to true Islam. Peace!”
We can only thank you for these brave words.
