.... Speaking with Funke media group, Dobrindt said:
"Muslims who want to integrate into our society are part of our country, but Islam is not part of Germany."
Islam "has no cultural roots in Germany and with Sharia as a legal system, it has nothing in common with our Judeo-Christian heritage."
Islam "doesn't culturally shape our country" and "it should not" be culturally influential in Germany.
"No Islamic country on earth has developed a comparable democratic culture like the ones we know in Christian countries."
