Outcome of the Second German Conference on Islam: Tough Dialogue
In her essay on the second German Conference on Islam, migration researcher Ülger Polat says that until such time as there is a willingness in German society to truly and comprehensively recognise Islam, the German Conference on Islam will continue to exist in a vacuum.
Why is the dialogue with the Muslim community called "Conference on Islam" when the majority of participants are secular representatives or even critics of Islam, asks Polat.
Even though Schäuble made it clear that the recently founded Co-ordination Council of Muslims is an "interesting association", he went on to say that it "cannot claim to represent all Muslims" and act as a "religious community" in this capacity. He also said that Muslim associations have taken their first important step by coming together and founding a Co-ordination Council.
