Germany's Interior Ministry has said it regrets serving pork sausage at a conference on Islam in Berlin earlier this week.
The ministry said the food selection had been designed for the "diverse religious attendance" at the German Islam Conference in Berlin.
But it apologised "if individuals felt offended in their religious feelings".
The event was led by Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, who in March said Islam "does not belong in Germany".
Most of the attendees at the Islam conference were Muslims, local media reported. Under Islamic law, Muslims are forbidden to eat pork.
The type of sausage on offer was blutwurst - or "blood sausage" - which is made of ingredients including pig's blood, pork and bacon.
German journalist Tuncay Özdamar wrote on Twitter: "What signal does Seehofer's interior ministry want to send? A little respect for Muslims, who don't eat pork, is needed."
At the start of the conference, Mr Seehofer reportedly said that he wanted to see a "German Islam".
But Özdamar added that Mr Seehofer's "elephant in a china shop" behaviour "would never gain the support of a majority of Muslims in Germany".
In its response the Interior Ministry added that it had served 13 dishes, including halal, vegetarian, meat and fish dishes and said that all food in the buffet had been clearly marked.
Some German media reported that pork in the form of ham had been served at the first German Islam Conference in 2006.
In his March comments, which were seen as an attempt to win back voters from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Mr Seehofer said Islam did not belong to Germany because "Germany is shaped by Christianity".

Ah, I’m not very good at following it anyway :)
Looked up Tammuz. Interesting.
I don’t think there’s anything intrinsically evil about having a Christmas Tree, I guess because it’s not used with paganism in mind.
but maybe I’m wrong.
What do i know? :)
.
Freemasonry, which is common in all of Europe, is Islam.
It is what the “Jesuit” order is organized around.
Childish ‘news’, silly beyond belief.
(Why the Germans call the best food the wurst I’ll never know...)
.
Christmas is pagan.
It is the pagan replacement for “Tabernacles,” or “Succot” if you prefer the Hebrew. That is the day Yeshua was born. Christmas is the day Tammuz was supposedly born.
The tree with balls hanging on it is one of the pagans’ most cherished symbols.
Careful! Talking about it causes family wars.
.
To cause a stink as part of the plan to turn Europe into part of the IzLame Caliphate, that's why.
lol!!
You give my family and friends WAY too much credit for having a clue!! :)
And many are VERY educated.
I wonder why no one ever questions it.
Plus you ruined my Christmas.
Thanks! :)
I’ll be staring at the Christmas tree in horror every day until it’s down!!
Just like the lying pagans they prefer to Christianity.
...right now i’m burning the fake Christmas tree on the front lawn while my wife curses...
And smashing the ornaments with a bat...
She wants a divorce now
See what you’ve done!!!
:)
Seriously though, what the hell are we doing putting up pagan designations
Vulgar swine...
I can’t stand people who hate bacon...
Sounds about time for the annual FR anti Christmas rants from the usual suspects. Very similar to the Festivus airing of grievances.
Pagans adhere to pagan designations, it's that simple.
Doesn't matter what lies to hide their paganism. Christians accept Christian traditions and know that all pagan definitions and designations are simply ploys of Satan to turn Christians away from their own traditions and lead them into doubt.
Pagans pump Satan's message of doubt because that's who they serve.
LOL
He’s a good guy and he’s not lying.
They are pagan traditions.
I think the reason why I think the tree is harmless is because we are not equating it with paganism. It’s just pretty :)
If using a Ouija board during Christmas was passed down, THEN we’d have a problem :)
Silly you!
D. Call the local police station and newspaper to complain that they were serving meat.
Frank Castanza who found tinsel distracting came up with the simple and elegant Festivus aluminum pole to solve the tree problem. Now on to feats of strength!
Pork chops for two. That works. Not everyone is crazy in Canada
Best place for bacon is that name of the burger I forgot at Carl’s Jr. or Burger King.
Freemasonry is NOT ISLAM period. As for the Jesuits, that is a different case and is not organized around anything but their idea of Christianity. And certainly not Islam - in all of that you are mistaken - read the 5 books of Islam and you will see that you are mistaken. (To understand what is being said you must read the Hadiths and Sunnahs which chronicle the life and sayings of Muhammad, these are Talibari, Muslim, Isaq and Bukhari; Hadiths are Muhammad’s word to his followers, The Sunnahs are the history of Muhammad and his motto (sic) was “Kill, kill, kill”..)
“...all food in the buffet had been clearly marked.”
They don’t want to make an “informed decision,” they don’t want to have to assume personal responsibility for their actions.
