Two senior German politicians have called for a more progressive form of Islam in order to align the religion with the European way of life.
Health Minister Jens Spahn and Schleswig-Holstein State Premier Daniel Günther published the appeal Thursday in a guest contribution for the Rheinische Post regional daily.
“Instead of tolerating symbols of a reactionary, misogynistic form of Islam, we must promote the development of a European Islam, which shares our values, in order to preserve our free European way of life,” penned the two Christian Democrats.
The topic of burkas is one of particular concern for both Spahn and Günther. “When women and girls appear fully-veiled at universities and schools, then we do not just have the option to resist; we must resist,” they wrote. …

They might call for a “European Islam,” but what they’re going to get is an Islamic Europe!
REFORM:
Two to the center of mass; then another to the head just to make sure.
To be fair, the Sufis incorporate a mystical group that probably is religious in the normal sense.
But, for a significant portion of the devout, Islam is a conquering war plan, a psychological Borg. We don’t have to worry about the spiritual seekers. But it’s clear that the crazies are cultivated by Islam as a conquering army, and we certainly have to keep them at arm’s length.
I understand Obama’s seeding the US with Muslims, because I believe he is one. But what was GWB thinking?
These people are so incredibly ignorant. Islam is a death cult compatible with nothing civilized or sociable. Islam is a rabid pit bull brought into a nursing home to calm the patients.
Good Luck with that, assholes
The Saracens are a bunch of tribes united by two commandments: violence is necessary and women are animals.
A capitalist economy depends on responsibility for contracts. Tribes do not understand capitalism.
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
If you reform Islam you get Isis the Taliban and Hamas !
That won’t happen until an Islamic Martin Luther arises (and survives the inevitable stoning or beheading attempts).
I work for Afghani and Palestinian Muslims
They is currently they’re nice people but now that I’ve gotten to know them better their anti-Semitism comes out of the woodwork
It’s funny to hear people spout their Jewish conspiracy theories it really is hilarious
Moderate Islam exists only in the minds of western liberals
This strategy is one reason the left promotes Muslim immigration despite its opposition to leftist values such as feminism and homosexuality: they believe they can secularize Islam the way they have secularized Christianity.
‘we must promote the development of a European Islam, which shares our values’
I guess they’re welcome to go into the mosques and present their proposals, although I doubt they make it out the first one alive.
According to Speer, Hitler wished that the Ottoman Empire had conquered Vienna in 1683: “The Mohammedan religion would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”[199] Similarly, Hitler was transcribed as saying: “Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers ... then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world.”[200]
Notwithstanding Hitler’s apparent admiration for Islam and Muhammad, and his willingness to work with Arab political leaders, he saw individual Muslims as racial and social inferiors. Nazi-era Minister of Armaments and War Production Albert Speer acknowledged that in private, Hitler regarded Arabs as an inferior race[199] and that the relationship he had with various Muslim figures was more political than personal.[199] During a meeting with a delegation of distinguished Arab figures, Hitler learned of how Islam motivated the Umayyad Caliphate during the Islamic conquest of Gaul and was now convinced that “the world would be Mohammedan today” if the Arab regime had successfully taken France during the Battle of Tours,[199] while also suggesting to Speer that “ultimately not Arabs, but Islamized Germans could have stood at the head of this Mohammedan Empire.”[199] Hitler said that the Germans would have become heirs to “a religion that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and in subjugating all nations to that faith. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the German temperament.”
