Germany: Increasing influence of Islam is concerning
The concern that many have regarding the increasing influence of Islam in Europe is more than right, claims German Islam expert Eberhard Troeger.
The pastor comments in the Protestant magazine Idea which appeared Wednesday on the way in which Germany, but also the Islamic world, responded to the murder of an Egyptian Muslim woman last month in Dresden. A Russian-German immigrant killed her in a court hall in front of her husband and three year old son.
In his commentary Troeger criticizes the way in which the Central Council of Muslims in Germany responded to the murder. According to its secretary general this was a new peak in the "Islamophobia" which has been affecting Germany for years.
Troeger: "Excuse me?" In his opinion Muslim organization have but one goal with such statements: Silence all doubts regarding the (in)compatibility of Islam and democracy. "And: where was the response of Muslims to the murder of two German Christian in Yemen on June 12th - probably by radical Muslims?"
