Supporters of the "Caliphate State" continue their aggressive agitation against Israel and the laicist Turkish Republic Party - Development Organization" (KP-IÖ). On 30 June, the Duisburg Regional Court ("Landgericht") sentenced an MLKP member to imprisonment for life. As established by the Court, the convicted person had been involved in the murder of a KP-IÖ functionary in Duisburg in August 1996. His accomplice also had - already in March 1997 - been sentenced to life imprisonment for this crime. 1.3 Turkish Islamists 1.3.1 "The Caliphate State", formerly also: "Union of Islamic Clubs and Communities (reg’d), Cologne" (ICCB) - Basic data for Germany - Founded: 1984 in Cologne Headquarters: Cologne Leadership: Metin KAPLAN Members: about 1,100 (1998: approx. 1,200) Publications: "Ümmet-i-Muhammed" ("Muhammad’s Community"), weekly The organization "The Caliphate State" (Hilafet Devleti), which is led by the self-proclaimed "Emir of the Faithful and Caliph of the Muslims" Metin KAPLAN, strives for the abolition of the laicized Turkish state structure and social system and for the establishment of an Islamistic State on the basis of the Koran and the shari'a, with world supremacy of Islam as the ultimate goal. For dissemination of its Islamistic tenets, "The Caliphate State" primarily relies on its organ "Ümmet-i Muhammed" ("Muhammad’s Community"). This publication bluntly rejects democracy and democratic institutions as irreconcilable with Islam: "The notion of political parties is alien to Islam ... Nobody can be a Muslim and a democrat at the same time ... Islam rejects democracy." ("Ümmet-i Muhammed", no. 269 of 8 April 1999, p. 3) Moreover, that paper - as in previous years - disseminates anti- Semitic and anti-Zionist slogans. For dissemination of such statements, the organization again made use of a TV programme entitled "HAKK-TV" ("True Islamic Television") which is broadcast from abroad via satellite as far as into Turkey. Thus, a programme broadcast on 11 April stated, inter alia: "For we - and our Caliph at the forefront - cannot and will not �Ã��Ã�
Federal Public Prosecutor General accuses KAPLAN on the charge of ringleadership in a criminal association accept that Zionist Israel, Israel the murderer, Israel the occupying power, will abusively exploit the entire planet, and the Near East in particular ...".. Time and again, the "Caliphate State" called for the overthrow of the Turkish Government. In connection with the legislative elections in Turkey on 18 April, the organization called for boycotting the elections: "Will you go to the ballot box so that these injustices may continue? So you intend, by voting, to support these devils, thieves, robbers, brutes, murderers and traitors to their country?" ("Ümmet-i Muhammed", no. 264 of 4 March 1999, p. 7) In his statements, KAPLAN repeatedly mentioned the "general mobilization" of his supporters, which he had already demanded in May 1998, and called upon these supporters to join the "Jihad": "The Jihad is a means for teaching the enemy a lesson which he deserves. At the end of the Jihad, every Muslim will have two choices - both of which, however, are gratifying: Victory or a martyr’s death!" ("Ümmet-i Muhammed", no. 257 of 14 January 1999, p. 2) On 25 March, KAPLAN was arrested in Cologne under an arrest warrant issued by the investigating judge of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH). During protest actions against this arrest and the search of the Cologne headquarters of "The Caliphate State", KAPLAN’s supporters physically assaulted police officers; 14 policemen were injured, and some 40 demonstrators were arrested. Subsequently, supporters of this Association organized a number of rallies at the seat of the Public Prosecutor General (GBA) at the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe and called for KAPLAN’s release; it managed to mobilize up to 3,000 persons from neighbouring European countries to attend this event. On 13 November, some 2,300 supporters demonstrated in Berlin against his detention. Turkey accuses KAPLAN of having planned a suicide attack by his supporters on the Atatürk Mausoleum in Ankara in late October 1998 and the occupation of a mosque in Istanbul. An extradition request by Turkey was declined by the Federal Government in the summer of 1999 in view of the death penalty likely to be imposed in Turkey. By indictment of 20 August, the Federal Public Prosecutor General (GBA) accused Metin KAPLAN in the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court of Appeal (OLG) of having been a ringleader of a criminal association and of having engaged in public incitement to criminal acts. Another two functionaries of the Association were accused of having formed a criminal association. The trial was opened on 8 February 2000. As stated by the Prosecution, KAPLAN, together with other functionaries within "The Caliphate State", has since 1995 - �Ã��Ã�
