“America’s strength is that it is capable of accepting people into its communities.”

Almost 20 percent of the people living in Germany today have a foreign background. The problem is that Germany can’t really offer foreigners an identity because the Germans hardly have a national identity themselves. That is certainly a result of Auschwitz.

Children born here are like blank sheets on which you can write European or Islamic texts. Muslim representatives want to raise their children as if they don’t even live in Europe.

Pluralism and tolerance are pillars of modern society. That has to be accepted. But pluralism doesn’t just mean diversity.

In Islam tolerance means that Christians and Jews are allowed to live under the protection of Muslims but never as citizens with the same rights. What Muslims call tolerance is nothing other than discrimination.

The weaker the partner is viewed by the Muslims, then the greater the anger which they express. And this anger is often carefully staged.

Muslims have to give up three things if they want to become Europeans: They have to bid farewell to the idea of converting others, and renounce the Jihad. The third thing they need to give up is the Shariah, which is the Islamic legal system.

A lot of people don’t know if Denmark is a country or a cheese.

A conflict of values is not a misunderstanding. Islamic orthodoxy and the German constitution are not compatible.

Muslims stand by their religion entirely. It is a sort of religious absolutism. While Europeans have stopped defending the values of their civilization. They confuse tolerance with relativism.

The Jihad is not just a way of testing yourself but also means using violence to spread Islam.

It means that we share the same rules and values, and are still nevertheless different. Islam doesn’t have this idea. And Islam also has no tradition of tolerance.

Accusing somebody of racism is a very effective weapon in Germany. Islamists know this: As soon as you accuse someone of demonizing Islam, then the European side backs down.

I myself am Muslim and I stand on the side of an open society.

Unlike multiculturalism, cultural pluralism doesn’t just mean diversity but also togetherness – primarily the understanding of the rules of the game – the European values structure.

In Germany representatives of the Islamic communities try to hijack children who are born here, along with the entire Islamic community, to prevent them from being influenced by the society which has taken them in.

The accusation of cultural insensitivity is a weapon.

The position of the Muslim community in the face of all provocations seems to be: Islam is a religion of peace, and if you say that it isn’t, we will kill you.

What an opportunity we have to be a community….A community where there are models.

People can take power over their communities and over their lives. Some people don’t realize they can do that. They think ‘It’s OK for other people, but I myself can’t do it.’ Hopefully, that will come out of the film.

Within our lifetime, we can remember a time when Islamism wasn’t the dominant form of discourse or the aim should be to minimise the absolutists within any religious community and contain them.

When we respect everybody around us, we are in peace with everybody around us.

I knew that our community needed a very clear voice. and I think we deserved representation that rejected lobbyist funds and put our voters and our community first.

Community means that people come together around the table, not just to feed their bodies, but to feed their minds and their relationships.

In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.
