Merkel Ally Says Islam Not Part of Germany
REUTERS.COM: A leading member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives said on Thursday that Islam did not belong to Germany, remarks sure to stir controversy as the government hosts a conference to improve the integration of Muslims.

A row over whether an ultra-conservative Salafist Muslim group should be allowed to hand out millions of free German translations of the Koran to non-Muslims had already raised tensions and threatened to overshadow the conference.

"Islam is not part of our tradition and identity in Germany and so does not belong to Germany," Volker Kauder, head of Merkel's conservative bloc in parliament, told the Passauer Neue Presse.
"But Muslims belong to Germany. As state citizens, of course, they enjoy their full rights." » | Reuters | BERLIN | Thursday, April 19, 2012

"Caliphate Conference" Seeks to Islamize Europe, U.S.
RIGHT SIDE NEWS: The explicit aim of the Istanbul Process -- currently backed by the Obama administration -- is to make it an international crime to criticize Islam.

A Muslim fundamentalist group is organizing a conference focused on turning Austria and other European countries into Islamic states.

The "Caliphate Conference 2012" will be held on March 10 in the Austrian town of Vösendorf, situated just south of Vienna.

The main theme of the event will be "The Caliphate: The State Model of the Future." The conference is being organized by Hizb ut-Tahrir [Party of Liberation], a pan-Islamic extremist group that seeks to establish a global Islamic state, or caliphate, ruled by Islamic Sharia law.

Hizb ut-Tahrir -- which is banned in many countries, including Germany, but is free to operate in Austria -- is virulently opposed to Western capitalism and democracy and seeks to extend the future caliphate to Europe and the United States.

According to a promotional video (in German) for the conference, "the Islamic Caliphate is the only social and political system that has the right solutions to the political, social and economic problems of humanity." » | Soeren Kern | Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Geert Wilders to Address Islam Conference in Jerusalem
INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE: JERUSALEM: An Israeli lawmaker says a controversial Dutch legislator and filmmaker will speak at an upcoming Jerusalem conference on combatting radical Islam.

Geert Wilders' film "Fitna" linked attacks by Islamic militants to texts from the Quran, Islam's holy book. It sparked angry street protests in Muslim countries earlier this year and Jordan has informed Interpol he is wanted to face charges there.

The conference in December will be tailored to European legislators seeking to unite in opposition to militant Islam.
