[edit] NPOV
I have added the NPOV tag, because I think the part contriversies lack neutrality. The single events, which are discribed are ok, but they do not show the real problem because main elements of the problems of migration are missing. The sentence: "Since Islam is not a traditional religion in Germany and since most problems with migration into Germany focus on this religious point is wrong. There are enormous problems with migration, but the core of these problems is not islam but the origin of the Turkish migrants. These people come from the most rural and most underdeveloped regions of Turkey. Many of them are not willing to be part of the German society. They would face the same problems if they would live in one of Turkey´s modern towns like Istambul or Ankara. I think it is extremely unfair name a religion, which preserved the writings of the greek philosophers, as the main reason of the inability of these migrants to be part of a modern society. The lack of interrest to send their children to school is not the fault of their religion but their tradition. The constant efforts of the Turkish and Saudi Arabian governments to gain political influence on these migrants is no problem of Islam as a religion too. On the other side, the German society is not discribed right. The secular society fights any religion, which could endanger the total freedom. In bavaria someone sued the state, because his son was forced to see a symbol of a bloodthirsty cult about the death of a fanatic (a cross). Even more this society fears a group, which is not willing to be part of the society. To reduce these complex problems to the single question of Germany and Islam lacks an objective neutral point of view. The point of view is to much focused on religion to be neutral. --Thw1309 22:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Religion in schools
While Religion can be a subject in German public schools it is not a regular one. It can be taken voluntarily but no students will suffer disadvantages if he or she decides not to. Thus, I added electiv to clearify this point. However, in most schools only protestant or catholic beliefs are beeing taught (I think the state of Berlin is an example to this but I am not sure). Therefore it can be argued that the German government does privelege these believes.

[edit] Muslim residence in Nazi Germany
I think the comment that Hitler maintained hostility towards Islam is slightly inaccurate. He more so opposed those groups unwilling to become subordinate. I remember that there were a few hundred Bosnian Muslim troops in Berlin fighting at the end of the European war.
