The Austrian preacher Mohamed Mahmoud must leave Germany. The Interior Ministry of the State of Hessen announced this on Thursay. The 26 year old Islamist is now obliged to depart within a month, otherwise he faces deportation. No re-entry is possible, according to a press statement by the Interior Ministry in Wiesbaden.

Mohamed Mahmoud, Vienna-born son of Egyptian immigrants has in the past called for a militant jihad and made it clear that he was willing to fight for his beliefs and to die, according to Hessen's Interior Minister Boris Rhein (CDU).

"Anyone who has shown no willingness to accept the existing law here and order of society that rejects all applicable laws and even calls for the abolition of democracy must be excluded from Germany, possibly also with the use of physical force", said Rhein on Thursday.

The preacher Mohamed Mahmoud, who calls himself "Abu Usama al-Gharib", was released in September 2011 in Vienna after a four-year prison sentence for establishing and promoting a terrorist organization. He first moved to Berlin and a few weeks later to the Nordrhein-Westphalishen town of Solingen. Since February, Mahmoud has lived in Hessen Erbach im Odenwald, along with a German convert to Islam Miranda K..

Mahmoud is according to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution one of the most radical elements of the German Salafist scene. In several video messages from the fundamentalist, he had openly glorified the fight against "infidels" and disseminates an extremist ideology. He was also one of the major supporters of the controversial Koran distribution activities of fundamentalist Muslims.
