After a recent projection in anti-Muslim sentiment caused by the controversial remarks of Thilo Sarrazin, the German president has appealed to his people to accept and recognise that Islam and Muslims have a rightful place in Germany.

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - While addressing an audience in Bremin, President Christian Wulff said: “Christianity doubtless belongs in Germany. Judaism belongs doubtless in Germany. That os our Judeo-Christian history. But by now Islam also belongs in Germany.”

The President went on to stress that in Germany “belonging” should not be confined to the passport someone holds, where a persons family comes from or the religion they choose to follow.

President Wulffs speech was part of national celebrations marking the German reunification of East and West on October 3rd 1990.
