Germany's ambassador to the Vatican, Annette Schavan, still sees religion as a peacemaker, despite wars and terrorism. In an interview with DW, she calls for more interfaith dialogue and respect between all religions.
Deutsche Welle: After the New Year's Eve harassment incidents in Cologne, a highly charged atmosphere with regard to migrants has developed in Germany. How do people in Rome assess the events in Germany?
Annette Schavan: The Vatican knows about all the new attempts to exploit religion as a justification for violence. Germany is viewed as a country that does a lot for refugees. The pope has explicitly commended this in his New Year's speech.
Can religion today still serve as a peacemaker or has it already become a driving force behind wars?
There are warmongers who embrace religion. But that does not mean that religion promotes war. Religion has the great power to bring peace. People are upset by the numerous attacks and wonder, "Should we equate these images of violence with Islam?" One gets the impression that Islam is part of the problem. But that's not true. It must become clear that it is part of the solution.

I really wonder if these people are still our allies?
Cut them lose - I’m sick of NATO and protecting these clowns, so they can run their progressive-muslim welfare state.
Yea, the final solution to the Christian problem in Europe!
Wannsee Conference part 2,this time it’s the Christians.
Germans sure have a thing for “Final Solutions”.
Well, fallow weakness has always been in the Euro gene cloud...
The amount of bad Global decisions is staggering, over just- the last century.
Most certainly.
Should we destroy islam as a result?
Most certainly.
