New German minister: Islam does not belong in Germany

your intolerance is everywhere on your posts

I would suggest you exercise the prophet business from scrap, starting with easy ones, like "tomorrow, the sun will go down in the west".

will depend on where the terrorists acts are commited. there are figures for domestic terrorism so unless the terrorist acts are commited in a muslim country, most terrorists are not muslims. in a country like france or the US, you will find out that what is say is true. in my coutnry, you are right but 99% of us are muslims so any domestic terrorist act is likely to be from a local;hence "muslim"...you think this as those crimes are more visible than others as they are given more media coverage. do not confuse reality and what media choose to report:-)

But the rooms should not be highjacked by bad islamists who are the culprits in the equation. The liberakl decent Muslims live in fear if they step out of line are chastized not only that THEY LIVE IN FEAR of their life..The first who suffered was Salman Rushdi for years had to live in HIDING.There are more like him,some openly criticise Islam, while others are fearful to openly doing so.. What sort od faith is tghis supposed to be.Women treated as chatels, hands and feet severed from thir bodies from just being caught holdind hands with a friend ..As it happens constantly in Iran,and the rest of Muslim countries..S.Arabia comes to mind among many..........

Nobody said Islam is a core component. You are preaching to the choir. But undoubtedly a religion exercised by 4 million is part of German life.

you should have told them that in the 30s....not so keen on judaism at the time, innit? unless discriminating, apartheid, deporting, killing is a sign of tolerance and acceptance of that heritage. cheers Petra for your valuable input. jews had been arounf for a vreyt long time and were germans, they had fought for their coutnry in ww1 and this is still what happened so tell me what sort of riubbish are you trying to sell me...what have no doubt about is that what happened back then could happen today wity muslims or otehrs. this hatred seems engrained in part of your culture and when there is a political voice given to it and the right economical conditions, people like you unleash on others like mad dogs. and this Petra, is unfortunately the reality.

"..this hatred seems engrained in part of your culture.." ... this is unfortunately the reality...". Are you mad???? Have u ever been to Germany? Did u ever talk to a German person in your life?? Doesn't look like it to me! You should be really careful spreading prejudices about things u seem to have no clue about! It could be misunderstood as hatred engrained in your culture..

Nor will it ............EVER

Thought the UK was bad enough with its 2+million ... Gee what of the rest of Eurabia.. At this rate the Christians will disappear sooner than later.Unless & until YOU GET YOUR HEAD SCREWED the RIGHT WAY..they will take all those countries over...Happening as we speak too Axel

My Friend served 6 yrs in German Army he served during the Kosovo problem.In any event his family lives in Germany since ancient times in N. Saxony.He opened business he now tells me he's being taxed heavily because of Social Welfare

But ultimately they DO NOT RUN THE COUNTRY. This shows how balanced Israel is: INSPITE OF THEM .Israel IS NOT rulled by them..Pay not too much attention what you base your facts here at Haaretz................

the rest is just respecting each other beliefs...love spinoza by the way

There's no such thing as Islamo fascist. Islam teaches peace. Durson is right that not all who claim themselves as Muslims follow the real teachings of Islam as is also true to other religions. Multiculturalism is the call of the day. We can not impress our G-d through killing, humiliating and doing injustice to others who are members of other religions.

realpolitiks (multinational interest etc...) and tribal...and tribal wars when on a soil that has resources are generally manipulated by teh west.:-) africa is my best example that noone can disagree with as it is a reality. welcome to my continent.

Yes there are extremists in all religions but ratio is peaking for itself. The number of extremists in other religions are minimul wheare in muslims it is reaching sky....

From your comment i would assume that you are an extremist zionist like most settlers. The ratio is most likely higher to find an extremist zionist than an extremist muslim considering that there is 1.5 billion muslims and only 10-20 millions jews.

Who were the murderers during World War 1 and 2? Who were the murderers during the Inquisition period? Who committed genocide in the Balkans? Who killed those praying Muslims in Hebron? Who killed those children in Gaza? Who nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

... Germany buys Russian oil, while Arab countries starve out.

Last time I checked Libya was not a part of Russia

sonatrach and gazprom work together and the cartel is a reality. arab or russian oil is in certain cases the same thing. get over yourself....get your facts right and don't cry. business knows no racism

Look at things in their context: Baron Guttenberg (CSU) had to resign over a ghost writer thesis. Then Merkel in a chess maneuver moved de Maiziere to the Defence dept. Now she had to find a CSU guy for the Interior, choose Friedrich, and he started talking.

The Europeans believed in many gods - Zeus, Jupiter, Thor etc. The word "Palestine" did not exist in Jesus' time. He was a Jew and lived in Judea, a Roman province. The word "Palestine" was a later invention of the Romans, designed to wipe out all memory of a Jewish presence. Learn some history

The Europeans were pagans, not pantheistic when chistianity was being spread in rome, pantheism belongs in ancient history, with the ancient greeks and the scandinavians. Paganism is the worship of nature and the spirits that guide it.

There was also no such thing as a White middle easterner, that's also a recent invention....

The Romans named it Palestine officially - but they didn't invent the word. The word was in common use to refer to the area for long before then. So, although Jesus was Jewish, he was also a Palestinian. Learn some history, not just Zionist propaganda.

actually i am quite sure, we have been more a bunch of pagans, whatever that means. superficial logic, sry

Is that all Jews are palestinians .

You seem to be extremely ignorant on several issues. First, the name on Palistine and then the fact that Jesus was CHRISTIAN for gods sake, not jewish. His parents religion is complete irrelevant.

The Palestinians of 3000 years ago were not native to the area, they came from southern europe and set up 5 cities on Israels coast and were continually fighting with the Israelis who were trying to drive them out. Eventually they left Israel for home. The word Palestinian means foregner in ancient Greek. Also Jesus was not a Christian he was a Jew and his followers were Jews and considered a sect of Judaism. Christianity came into being 300 years after Jesus's death adopted by the Roman emporer Constantine who needed a gimic to unite the Empire against barbaric invaders. Upon adopting Christianity Constantine stated " Jesus is a son of god almost as powerfull as I" Constantine was also considered a god. Learn history not fairy tales

His followers believed him to be the Messiah his early followers were Jews the movement grew they followed the teachings of the New Testament the religion spead through the west via the Romans world Christ is Greek for Messiah hence Chrisianity.

The word come from the Heb. Polshim the Aegean people who were not Semitic were given that name because they were not native to area which is now around Gaza

of course! it will ... and with it's holy tools terrorizing the world ... of course you will say it's lie, be true to your selves observe peace not with your illusion to conquer the world and to be with 70 virgins...

The Islamists got it wrong, they don't get 70 virgins, they get 1 virgin 70 years old

Or maybe it will just retreat to the Peninsula it came from, like your own prophecies claim.

you've got it right !

Saying "... the Muslim immigrants did not make any effort to change to the 21st century, as did the Chinese, Indian, South American or African immigrants." shows your lack of knowledge about Islam because there are Muslim Chinese, Muslim Indians, Muslim South Americans, and Muslim African Immigrants throughout the Globe. By the way, you'll also find China towns & Jewish neighborhoods throughout the Western World which indicates that many minorities did not assimilate as you wish to insinuate. Just look at New York's Jewish communities to realize that your statement does not make any sense. Islam is the fastest growing religion among Europeans! That must be hard to swallow when you see other religions loosing followers left & right. I can understand the West's frustrations with this trend, but numbers speak louder than any lies that some people are spreading about Islam. Google "western women who converted to Islam" or "scientistss who converted to Islam" and that will make your day, I'm sure!

americans killed thousands of iraqis to take their oil..... israeli killed thousands of palestinians..... if we compare the terrorist attacks commited by stupid extremists it is nothing compared to the wars and conscious policies carried out by americans and israelis...

That's right. We took their oil and didn't give them any money for it. Plus, we tax them in order to subsidize our presence their. And we don't let them vote for anything. What a fantasy world you live in.

How many are converting? When will friedrich not belong to germany? prophecys at its worst.

Doesn't look like it at all. Yet. That is. I'm still an optimist and hope that democracy and tolerance might indeed break out in the Arab world. But sorry, Ali, you appear to be more enlightened than most.

Jews were by far the most active defendents of Muslims in Europe, till we saw Muslim demonstrations with slogans - Jews in gas chambers . Till we saw Muslims more rabbidly antisemitic and toxic than our former torchurers. Now each is for himself buddy!!! Do some retrospecion.

But your post is simply idiotic. The incident happened outside of the airport premises. Airport security has nothing to do with it nor could have prevented it. You are simply abusing two dead soldiers for your political agenda, that's what it is.

One can make the same claim about Moses and Judaism, Jesus and Chrfistianity. That is not a valid reason for claiming that Islam belongs nowhere. Insgtead, you should attack its racism, its intoleraqnce, its xenophobia, its supremacism, its violence, its opposition to democracy and human's rights, its attitude towardsw women - all theswe are vaqlid criticisms.

where is its racism, its intoleraqnce, its xenophobia, its supremacism, its violence, its opposition to democracy and human's rights in Turkey, Singapore, Malaysia.....or in muslim andalucia where jews and arabs lived peacefully together....it's misleading to attribute these problems to religion....because otherwise i would say christianity is a violent religion because christians created facism and nazism....look at the core problems in arab countries and try to understand instead of just simplifying with religion...

Are YOU the one who can tell false religion from true religion? Aka the Messiah?

Followed by the blockade of city or town that housed the suspect with daily aerial bombardment. All these actions will help us find partners in spreading terror, after all we have been sticking out like a sore thumb from past 60 odd years.

muslim bloc is larger than the jewish bloc, they just have less power.

From the German police: number of terrorist attacks that succeeded, were thwarted, or planned and dropped, 2007-2010 = 40. Number that were 'Islamist' = 1. Percent of Germans who think the removal of headscarfs is needed for German Muslims to be integrated = 36. Percent of Germans who think the removal of yarmulkes is needed for German Jews to be integrated = 27.

the question is whether that future should be in Europe. That is what Europeans are wondering. The answer is clear. Muslim countries will probably endorse democracy and development and people that want to follow an islamic way of life, and they have the full right to do it, should dwell there in Muslim lannds. Fair enough.

Since when does the prize of "owning the future" go to whomever can make babies the fastest? And I would LOVE to hear some day your explanation as to how exactly Islam spread to so many people in it's beginnings? Let me guess, it's founder went door to door with chocolates and roses asking kindly for people to convert with a smile on his face. Right? If your prediction of "whomever makes the largest population is the one who dominates" actually were correct, I wouldn't see so many Islamic countries taking to the streets protesting because their populations cannot sustain normal standards of modern day life. When "1,650,000,000" start becoming contributors to the world and everyone in it, then you might have a point. Thus far, all I see is implosion.

most of the articles in VERY serios scientific magazines are written by researches from muslim countries,LIVING in their countries.Iran succesfully sirvive despite all the sanctions.And why european muslims has to live in another countries if they are ethnically belongs to Europe.YES!Every year more and more europeans choses Islam as their way.You have nothing to do with it.When all the world (absolutely free)choose Islam,you could happily fly away to South Pole.Or to the North.

If they could, ALL muslims would seek democracy over barbaric practices of honor killings, tribal warfare and being held captive by a 'religion' that promotes a form of mental slavery to evil.

what universe are you living in where "most of the articles in VERY serios scientific magazines are written by researches from muslim countries"? seriously, please name ONE of these VERY "serios" magazines. because there aren't any. i have nothing against muslims but gurl, please.

Jews don't go blowing up American soldiers in germany. Whats your point?

when german jews begin shooting soldiers and preaching against integrating into german society, perhaps it would be reasonable to suggest that judaism also does not belong in germany (which is a very secular state nowadays). but as it happens, the jews of germany do not have a habit of running around killing people in the name of yahweh, and indeed most do not even believe in judaism itself, so its a bit of a moot point.

This is the paradox. Nobody in Israel would dare to enact a law against burqas. Nobody in Israel cares abaout mosq

Islam will not be accepted in Europe. Multicultturalism has set a breeding ground for Islamic pride in Europe but at the same time it has set the ground for the increasing role of radical right parties. Radical right wing parties are becoming more promionent because normal people vote for them. Either European liberals will be succesfull to integrate Muslims according to European culture and law, getting rid of sharia, minarettes and burqas, or the radical right will get in power, and democratically will inform Muslims that they have to leave. Paradoxically, Israel have no problem with minarets, burqas and Muslims in general. They can practice freely thei religion in Israel and a fairly multicultural system flourish in Israel.

There is no such thing. I have been monitoring your comments for some time. You continually bring in Israel and Jews for the killing and maltreatment of Arabs etc. This article has nothing to do with Israel. It is about Germany and Europe. For someone who thinks they are intellectual and fair minded, God help us all. I have made many case studies on hatred and bigotry. It amounts to not being able to contain and internalise the dislike and hatred that one has for themselves. I respectfully suggest you visit a top class pyshco analyst for treatment, and learn why you hold so much hatred and anger towards Israel and Jews. By the way I am happy to say, I am an Israeli Arab Moslem, and I am treated very respectfully here.

Half of whom are women. How many million of these oppressed women and girls wake up each morning and say to themselves "I don't believe in this religion, which exists only to oppress me". And yet they are counted as Muslim by people like you, Natalie. I believe that, if the threat of death was removed from them, they would renounce Islam in their tens of millions.

I feel good

What oppression are you talking about, the fact they cover their heads, women do that in Judaism or the fact that mosques are segregated so are synagogues.

I'm so sorry, you're quite correct. Female Saudi citizens are of course free at any time to just say "You know, I'm not a Muslim anymore. In fact I never was one! I think I will take a stroll down to the mall in my new skirt and tank-top. It's no big deal, after all it is a free country, Saudi Arabia" "What oppression are you talking about" Are you kidding?

of all converts are woman,i ask you why would woman all over the world especially european and american woman who live in total'freedom' convert to a religen that opres them according to islam haters?i tell you why,because they find dignety,humanety,self respect and love in islam.people like you can not understand,even if i would explane it to you, how come people all over the world is converting to a religen that haves a bad name . me and my wife are also converts, you can't brainwash us with your fake election slogans like freedom,human rights and all the other fake self invented words with no meaning what so ever.have a nice day in your man made fake lifestily

I suspect you always carry that picture with you anyway...

What is that, cannot find it even after goggling.

Jews who are Jews, Jews who are Jewish, orthodox Jews, or ultra-orthodox Jews?

Not mention many other secret killings

muslims? idon't think so, do you?

.... and if you can't figure it out, ask your next taxi driver.
