Did DITIB members rise up and denounce Mustafa Keskin for his denial of the Armenian Genocide and his Jew-hatred? There is no evidence that any did. The largest Islamic umbrella organization in Germany doesn’t seem to have had a problem with his statements. But remember: it’s just a tiny minority of extremists!
The former head of an influential Turkish Muslim association in Germany was convicted of inciting hatred and condoning crimes in antisemitic social media postings he made.
Mustafa Keskin, was given a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, according to the verdict by the district court of the university city of Gottingen. Keskin — who resigned last March as chairman of the Gottingen branch of DITIB, a Turkish religious group, after his posts on various social media platforms were exposed — was also ordered to pay a fine of 1,200 euros in installments of 75 euros to a charitable organization….
One post depicted Pope Francis and the Turkish right-wing extremist Mehmet Ali Ağca, who seriously injured Pope John Paul II in an assassination attempt in 1981. Since Pope Francis recognizes the Armenian genocide as a historical reality, the text of Keskin’s post read, he should not be surprised if he is shot in the head….
Keskin’s Facebook page, meanwhile, had featured “antisemitic and anti-Israel posts and images since 2013,” the youth group reported. “In one personal post, for example, Israeli soldiers are referred to as ‘Jewish dogs,’ while other images and posts suggest that Jews and Israelis would specifically kill children.”
An abbreviation for “Diyanet İşleri Türk İslam Birliği” (Turkish-Islamic Union of the Institute for Religion), the Cologne-based DITIB is the largest Islamic umbrella organization in Germany, comprising over 900 mosques.

Turks in Germany were instructed by Erdogan:
“Assimilation is a crime against humanity!”
In Islam muslims are “the best of peoples raised up for mankind” (Koran 3:85), while the kuffar are “the vilest of beasts” (8:22). This is presumably what Erdogan had in mind for defining “humanity”.

Turks have been mass slaughtering Greeks, Kurds and Armenians for a long time but as usual it isn’t the Turks who are the vilest of creatures it’s the ones they slaughter, it seems they suffer from severe comprehension problems.

Pathetic that he only got 10 months, suspended for 2 years.
Translation, here’s a slap on the wrist you naughty boy, don’t do it again.
Whilst in his demented mind, he would be thinking that his “harsh punishment” is proof that Jews are evil and that the whole world bows down to them. Which will, of course, encourage his fanaticism even more.
Should have deported him to hell.
