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".

“...Muslims in Germany.”
I think we have found the root of the problem, right there.
Feats of strength!!!! lol!!
Doesn’t he put George in a headlock?
:)
Where’s rage boy?
Now you got me thinking of another Seinfeld.
When she asks them at the diner table, are they wasting their time there? Is sitting at the diner living one’s life to the utmost? :)
I’ve been on FR since noon.
I HAD things to do.
Did I just WASTE 7 hours??
I don’t know!!
I’ll leave it to the sages :)
We Americans of Germanic heritage and upbringing look at that picture and salivate. What Mooselips consider forbidden, we consider dinner.
Muzzies can’t take a joke can they? It’s Germany, if you don’t like thier culture, go home.
According to the late Norman Mailer it is. When he was asked what he thought about the internet he said it was the biggest waste of time yet invented. But he was a liberal loon so is not considered a sage by FR standards. So we’re good. :)
ROFL!!
He had a TINY point though!!
I would have thought someone was INSANE if they told me in 1995 that I would be spending 12 hours at a time just typing to people, then I would have knocked them out!! :)
Taking away their beer and sausage is probably the only thing that would make Germans rise up and oppose Islam.
Go back and get them...
Liberals equate tolerance with endorsement; you can’t agree to disagree - you have to go along with them or you’re an evil oppressor.
True tolerance is serving ham, chicken and vegan what-not so everyone has a choice.
Oppression in the name of tolerance is banning pork because Muslims don’t eat it. That you have to give up hot cross buns and bacon and cheerlead Islam or else you’re a bad bigot.

So, Albert Pike doesn’t know what he’s talking about?
LOL!
Apparently not. There are a lot of ‘experts’ that pronounce something as so just to get attention of those less well informed.
If you have never actually read and studied something, but rely on someone’s opinions to form your own, then you are apt to be mislead.
FU Ackbar!
.
You have not read or studied Pike?
Pike is “Southern Jurisdiction Freemasomry.” He is the sole author of the “Bible” of Freemasonry: “Morals and Dogma.”
He is the creator of the levels of achievement recognized by freemasonry.
Has he shown up on your radar yet?
.
End of discussion I have other more important things to attend to.
Lying BBC. That's a Turk name, not German.
.
No surprise!
You’re fake to the core.
ad hominems will get you kicked fella.
