“The head of the Protestant Church in Germany has called for Islam to be taught in state schools across the country as a way to make young Muslims impervious to the ‘temptation of fundamentalists.’” He suggests this because he assumes that Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists. In reality, however, if Islam is taught in state schools, Germany will find itself confronted with more jihad, not less.

Bedford-Strohm said all faiths in Germany must be compatible with the country’s democratic constitution. “Tolerance, religious freedom and freedom of conscience must apply to all religions,” he said in the interview published on Friday.
