Christian Wulff confirms his statement on Islam
Ten years after his ruling “Islam now also belongs to Germany”, former federal president Christian Wulff considers the declaration to be “more necessary than ever”. There were more opponents to a colorful republic.
“Islam now also belongs to Germany”: Ten years have passed since Christian Wulff sparked heated debates with this phrase. Now the former president confirms his correction and praises the 1. FC Köln away shirt.
WITHAnd years after the heated discussion about his ruling “Islam now also belongs to Germany”, former federal president Christian Wulff continues to adhere to the statement. “I think sentencing is more necessary than ever,” Wulff told the Evangelical Press Service. “Opponents of diversity, of a colorful German republic, of living with minorities on an equal footing have increased.”
It would be good for debate if more politicians said the phrase naturally, Wulff said. Human dignity and religious freedom are guaranteed in the Basic Law. “So it is undeniable that mosques are now part of our everyday image and that Muslims must take religious concerns into account.”
It therefore welcomes the fact that 1. FC Köln printed their away jerseys with the city skyline with the cathedral and the central mosque. “That is a sure way to deal with diversity. Integrative, ”Wulff said.
As federal president, Wulff said in his speech on German Unity Day on October 3, 2010 that in addition to Christianity and Judaism, Islam now also belongs to Germany. After that, a heated debate broke out about integration and identity.
The former CDU politician said the phrase made sense at the time because it was uttered by Thilo Sarrazin at the height of the debate on the book “Germany abolished itself.” “The mood in the country had changed significantly, and it was my attempt to pick up this debate and bring it to the core of the Basic Law,” Wulff said.
After his intervention, the “incomprehensible” came to light. After the killings by the NSU terrorist cell, the list of murders of right-wing extremists continued in Kassel, Halle, Hanau and many other places.
“So much hatred, radicalization and malice”
Wulff called for more moral courage and dialogue between immigrants and locals. After the far-right attacks, the image was repeatedly transmitted that the perpetrators were “discreet, actually friendly and approachable, good neighbors or rifle brothers.” “I doubt that these perpetrators have not expressed content here and there that the environment should have clearly and unequivocally contradicted,” said the 61-year-old.
Wulff went on to say that he was concerned “that we are experiencing so much hatred, radicalization and malice at a time when our country is doing better economically than ever.” This is followed by the question of “how will society discuss and vote in the years to come when the air gets thinner due to Corona and global competition in the job market.”
Far-right forums are rife with conspiracy theories and malice against “those on top,” Wulff said. “I see the risk of more people getting caught.”
