[H1]German Chancellor Scholz says Islamist rally will be met with 'consequences'[/H1]
More than 1,000 people participated in the demonstration in Hamburg on Saturday, with some calling for the establishment of a caliphate.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that there will be "consequences" after a large Islamist rally in Hamburg raised alarm over the weekend.
More than 1,000 people demonstrated in the northern German city, with some holding posters calling for the imposition of Sharia law and the establishment of a caliphate.
The demonstration was linked to the "Muslim Interactive" group, which Germany's domestic intelligence services classify as an extremist organisation.
At a press conference alongside the prime minister of Montenegro, Scholz said, "It is quite clear that all Islamist activities must be tackled using the possibilities and options of our constitutional state."
He added that any criminal acts would be prosecuted.
Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser posted on X, formerly Twitter, that "anyone who wants a caliphate has come to the wrong place in Germany".
