‘Islam Week’ at German University Draws Fire Over Segregation, Extremism
26th June 2025
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 Obadas of the IMAN organisation—classified by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency as Salafist—also triggered concern.
