Ooh, what you said! You must be an Islamophobe!
The new German Minister of the Interior, Hans-Peter Friedrich, quoted in the headline statement above, obviously agreeing with Angela Merkel's view that multiculturism has been a dismal failure has, with his words opened up the dialogue to a wider vein. You know who will be unhappy about this, don't you?
Islam really does not belong anywhere, mainly because it's doctrine demands Muslims conquer and occupy all the lands of the earth. So to say it does not belong in Germany is a statement of defense, not a condemnation of all Muslims.

German interior minister reopens bitter row over Muslim integration
In his first press conference as minister, Friedrich said on Friday that Muslims should be allowed live in modern Germany, but he added: "To say that Islam belongs in Germany is not a fact supported by history."
He was immediately criticised by another government minister. "Of course Islam belongs in Germany," said the justice minister, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, of the FDP party, which rules in a coalition with Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU). "I assume that the new minister will follow the lead of his predecessor [Thomas de Maizière] and will take his responsibility for integration policy seriously, and campaign for cohesion rather than exclusion," she added.
Just like Islam stands for cohesion instead of exclusion, eh Ms. Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger?

German interior minister reopens bitter row over Muslim integration
Germany's new interior minister has said Islam does not "belong" in the country, reopening a bitter debate over the integration of Germany's 4 million Muslims.
Hans-Peter Friedrich, who took office on Wednesday, was being asked by reporters about a gun attack at Frankfurt airport in which two US servicemen were killed and another two injured. Investigators suspect the attack, carried out by a 21-year-old Muslim immigrant from Kosovo, was an act of Islamist terrorism. A federal judge in Karlsruhe on Thursday ordered the suspect be remanded to jail on two counts of murder and three of attempted murder, pending further investigation.
