(Deutsche Welle) The latest spate of terror attacks in France and Austria will not hamper the cooperation between the government and Germany’s Muslim community, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said on Tuesday.
“We won’t let terrorism and extremism derail us,” Seehofer said at the start of this year’s German Islam Conference.
Seehofer praised an Islamic theology program for German-speaking imams in the city of Osnabrück as a significant contribution towards preventing radicalization.
The interior ministry-funded project is “money well-spent for societal cohesion in our country,” Seehofer said.
What is on the agenda?
The focus of this year’s conference, which is taking place digitally due to the coronavirus pandemic, is on imam training in Germany.
