A veteran ally of Angela Merkel urged Muslims in Germany on Sunday to develop a "German Islam" based on liberalism and tolerance, saying the influx of people seeking refuge, many of them Muslims, is a challenge for mainstream society.
Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, stepping out of his usual finance remit, urged tolerance, saying the arrival of hundreds of thousands of migrants required a better understanding among Germans of what is important to them and how they want to live.
Almost 1 million migrants from the Middle East and Africa, came to Germany last year, stoking social tensions and boosting support for the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which has said Islam is not compatible with the constitution.
The arrival of large numbers of refugees has strained communities and led to a rise in far-right violence and attacks on migrant shelters, particularly in eastern Germany.
Schaeuble, a stalwart of Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU), said: "Without a doubt, the growing number of Muslims in our country today is a challenge for the open-mindedness of mainstream society."

This government clown is too stupid to breathe. He understands nothing about Mohammedanism and Mooselimbs.
This idiot needs to Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo Islam because he’s really confused
There is no “German Islam”. There is only Islam. The Germans are infidels.
german islam. wtf does that mean?
i didn’t know religions were supposed to change based on the country they were in.
And their religion is hate.
You had one in the NAZIs, Merkel. They went whole hog on it.
It’s no problem. Just remove Islam’s founding, Mohammed and 1400 years of slaughter of a billion people. Call it Deuthlam.
There’s no pushback in Germany because of the Nazi stigma. That’s why the Islamo jihadists get free rein.
The Moslems will murder him just as soon as they want to - just like the rest of the Germans ( and us, too). This finance minister is either dumber than sh@t or else he’s sold out just like his boss lady appears to be
Too funny, they will never get it. Ever.
He may be an idiot, but he has been bough and paid for with Arab petrodollars to support the invasion of his country and to facilitate the establishment of a wabbist Islamic Germany under Sharia
As such he as a Traitor and Quisling in the most literal sense of the words
To not understand the evil and danger of islam is to be ignorant, retarded or worse.
Good luck, Wolfgang.
You know the muslims will probably kill you for even suggesting changing Islam, right?
he is admitting that islam is a problem. kick them out.
Germany imports millions of new immigrants that hate Jews.
What a bunch of morons. They never learn.
Excuse me? It was only their "arrival" that caused all the trouble? Not the crime, the drugs, the violence, the terrorism, the systematic sexual assault? Those had nothing to do with it?
You can't have an honest dialogue with an ideologue who has no intention of being honest. It's a complete waste of time.
What kind of an oxymoron is that?
