In this Thursday, Oct. 7, 2010 photo Ahmet Yazici, the deputy head of the Alliance of Islamic Communities in Northern Germany poses inside a mosque in Hamburg, northern Germany. Hamburg security officials shuttered the al-Quds mosque, later dubbed Taiba mosque, in August, forcing its members to scatter.
