PREMIER OF E.GERMAN STATE SAYS ISLAM NOT PART OF SAXONY /GERMANY…….

He plays lip service to more immigration, but this is the closest thing of an anti-Islamization statement you can get from a politician in Germany these days.

Saxony’s premier Tillich says Islam is not part of Germany

The premier of the eastern German state of Saxony, Stanislaw Tillich, has said he disagrees with Chancellor Angela Merkel on the status of Islam in Germany. But he says he wants more immigrants in his state.

In an interview published on Sunday, Tillich told the newspaper Welt am Sonntag that he did not hold Chancellor Merkel’s recently expressed view that Islam was a part of Germany.

“I do not share this opinion,” Tillich said. “Muslims are welcome in Germany and can practice their religion. But this does not mean that Islam is part of Saxony.”

Tillich’s remarks come amid a series of weekly marches by the “anti-Islamization” group PEGIDA (“Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West”) in the Saxon capital, Dresden.

‘More information necessary’

While condemning the xenophobic views expressed by some PEGIDA members, Tillich, who belongs to Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, called for continued dialogue with the organization. He said many of its fears were born of a dissatisfaction with the “political decision-making process and decisions.”

“To counter misleading rumors, you need objective arguments and information. To counter fears, education and information are necessary,” Tillich said.

  1. “Muslims are welcome in Germany and can practice their religion. But this does not mean that Islam is part of Saxony.”

    This guy is a kook. “Practising their religion” means anything from raping infidel women to FGM, the stone adulterous women and marry child brides, four of them. And then he lectures that what’s needed are “objective arguments and information. To counter fears, education and information are necessary,” f*kcing hopeless.

    1. Like I said Sheik (pbuy) this is the closest thing you can get to a politician speaking about anti-Islamization. At this point I’ll take any measure of pushback, no matter how tepid it appears.
