This reaction comes rather late, says Michael Schmidt-Salomon, chair of the Giordano Bruno Foundation: "For many years now, not only ex-Muslims and critics of Islam have faced severe threats, but also advocates of an open-minded Islam like Seyran Ateş, whose liberal mosque became a target of ISIS."
