BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday Islam "belongs to Germany", in a clear repudiation of anti-immigration protesters gathering in Dresden and other cities.
A day after walking arm-in-arm with French President Francois Hollande at the front of a massive march in Paris to honor the victims of killings by Islamic militants, Merkel received the Turkish prime minister and urged dialogue among religions.
The conservative chancellor pointed to comments made by former German president Christian Wulff, who said in 2010 that Islam was part of Germany, triggering a fierce debate.
"Former president Wulff said Islam belongs to Germany. That is true. I also hold this opinion," Merkel said at a news conference with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who also took part with other world leaders in the Paris march on Sunday.
She was speaking hours before marches by a movement dubbed PEGIDA, or Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West, were due to begin in several German cities.
Such demonstrations, launched in Dresden, have been dwarfed by counter-protests. Merkel has said PEGIDA's rallies are organized by people with "hatred in their hearts".

Of course it was pointless. It only gave cover for the politicians. France stopped watching the muzzie brothers and Hollande will not suffer from it.
Well stated.
Yes, I know : )
Another story for the “this time the world will take the threat of Islam seriously,” crowd.
The mohammedan ideology belongs to the devil, its author.
I’m curious what side the common everyday muslin will take should the warrior jihadist Islamist’s get the upper hand against the west. I suspect that their allegiance to the nations in which they reside is sketchy at best. Unlike the unjust ‘now we know’ internment of American Japanese during WWII, will we rue not doing it during a possible future conflict i.e. WWIII coming to an American bombed out city near you. I suspect should something a serious as that happening we will see armed Islamic no go areas in America much as they are in Europe.
ignorant B*TCH ...those godless vile thugs will pick their teeth with your bones when they get the chance ....
Allegiance to nations?
This is the part that even most conservatives do net get yet.
Not a single muslim has integrated into American society. Not one.
Because to be a muslim, violent or peaceful, you believe that all countries must come under sharia law. All. This is the whole point of everything they do. They do not demand conversion - but they do demand sharia law.
This makes every muslim ipso facto a traitor to the constitution and anathema to all Western culture. Every single one.
Muslims cannot be allowed to live here. None of them.
Are they really out of touch or are they just reflecting the views of their constituents?
Anti-immigration parties just got slaughtered in Sweden while the pro immigration parties won huge.
Great!
Worldwide Demonic Inspired Conflagrations and Protests That Result!
Civil Unrest Like Never Before..
Well.. Except for the 1930s..
Who did the Germans have as allies?
Muftis and Madmen.
Just gave over Germany to islam ... ahead of the UK ...
Can the b.
“Merkel is Sheila Jackson Lee STUPID”” That’s some world class stupid. That’s being too stupid to be an idiot.
Ach, so, Frau Merkel? Das is erst das!’’ Germany’s next. I wonder how Frau Merkel will respond when the muzzies start shooting a few dozen Krauts.
Such demonstrations, launched in Dresden, have been dwarfed by counter-protests.
Funny, that’s not what I have seen...
The nation that built the Tiger Tank has turned into a nation of pussies.
Between the Russians and the Allies we killed most of the people that built and operated the Tiger Tanks.....
The “leaders” are all for one world government. I can only assume they don’t think they can do anything about it so they get on the train. Next stop: the U.N. and one world currency. The Bushes will hold honorary positions for their help in instituting it.
I wonder what Merkel was smoking?
