A Month of Islam and Multiculturalism in Germany: October 2016<\/h3>\n

A chronological review of some of the main stories about the rise of Islam in Germany during October 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n

Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute<\/a> | November 27, 2016<\/p>\n

October 1. Two migrants raped<\/a> a 23-year-old woman in L\u00fcneburg as she was walking in a park with her young child. The men, who remain at large, forced the child to watch while they took turns assaulting the woman.<\/p>\n

October 2. A 19-year-old migrant raped<\/a> a 90-year-old woman as she was leaving a church in downtown D\u00fcsseldorf. Police initially described<\/a> the suspect as \u201ca Southern European with North African roots.\u201d It later emerged that the man is a Moroccan with a Spanish passport.<\/p>\n

October 2. Finance Minister Wolfgang Sch\u00e4uble called<\/a> for the development of a \u201cGerman Islam\u201d to help integrate Muslims in the country. In an opinion article published by Welt am Sonntag<\/em>, he wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cConsidering the diverse origins of Muslims in Germany, we want to promote the development of a German Islam, the development of self-assurance of Muslims living as Muslims in Germany, in a free, open, pluralistic and tolerant order, according to our laws and the religious neutrality of the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doubt that the growing number of Muslims in our country today is testing the tolerance of mainstream society. The origin of the vast majority of refugees means that we are increasingly dealing with people from very different cultures\u2026. In this tense situation, we should not allow for the emergence of an atmosphere in which well-integrated people in Germany feel alien.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

October 4. M\u00fcnchner Merkur<\/em> reported<\/a> that the 2016 Munich Oktoberfest recorded its lowest turnout since 2001. Visitors reportedly stayed away due to concerns about terrorism and migrant-related sexual assaults.<\/p>\n

October 6. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung<\/em> reported<\/a> on a German intelligence study which found that almost half the German Salafists who left for Syria or Iraq were active in mosques. \u201cThe mosques continue to play a central role in the radicalization of Islamists in Germany,\u201d a spokeswoman for the German domestic intelligence agency, the Bundesamt f\u00fcr Verfassungsschutz (BfV), said. The ongoing study analyzes the background and course of the radicalization of persons who left for Syria or Iraq. The study has collected data from 784 Islamists who left Germany or were actively trying to leave the country. The BfV estimates that there are 9,200 known Salafists in Germany.<\/p>\n
