According to an article due to appear Monday in the Tageszeitung daily, a conservative Muslim from Bonn in western Germany has appeared in a video on an Islamic forum in which he encouraged "the killing of all activists from the Pro NRW party".
Members of the small extreme-right political party held a campaign event using anti-Islamic caricatures ahead of an election in Germany's most populous state North Rhine-Westphalia on May 13.
In his appeal, he urged the collection of personal information on Pro NRW members, including their home addresses and work schedules, with the goal of attacking them.
"We take this message seriously," an Interior Minister spokesman told the newspaper, which said the man had broadcast messages for the "Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan".
Several police were injured during recent clashes between Muslims and Pro NRW members.
The right-wing activists have for several years campaigned against the construction of mosques and have in some protests marched with cartoons of Mohammed (pbuh) that were initially published by a Danish newspaper in 2005, leading to a wave of violence and anger across the Muslim world.
Islam strictly prohibits the depiction of any prophet as blasphemous.

O c'mon Muslims not again, slogans of peaceful religion and preaching of violence and hatred, two things are poles apart. There's gotta be something more peaceful than instigating hatred, try to say something in your own countries then see the results.
So the idea is to kill them and hope that will solve the problem? Did these ultra-conservatives ever the chapter on Tolerance in Islam?
As for the far-right in Germany, our own far-right is so far out that there is no way to even talk to these people.
