Pluralism and tolerance are pillars of modern society. That has to be accepted. But pluralism doesn't just mean diversity. It means that we share the same rules and values, and are still nevertheless different. Islam doesn't have this idea. And Islam also has no tradition of tolerance.

A conflict of values is not a misunderstanding. Islamic orthodoxy and the German constitution are not compatible.

The Jihad is not just a way of testing yourself but also means using violence to spread Islam.

In Islam tolerance means that Christians and Jews are allowed to live under the protection of Muslims but never as citizens with the same rights. What Muslims call tolerance is nothing other than discrimination.

Almost 20 percent of the people living in Germany today have a foreign background. The problem is that Germany can't really offer foreigners an identity because the Germans hardly have a national identity themselves. That is certainly a result of Auschwitz.

America's strength is that it is capable of accepting people into its communities.

The weaker the partner is viewed by the Muslims, then the greater the anger which they express. And this anger is often carefully staged.
