Former German President Christian Wulff has reaffirmed that Islam is part of Germany, saying he would repeat the same phrase today just as he said it for the first time in 2010.
Wulff noted that more than six million Muslims currently live in Germany, arguing that this demographic reality should be approached through coexistence rather than confrontation.
The published statements did not include further details about the occasion or context in which Wulff made these remarks.
Background
The phrase "Islam is part of Germany" dates back to a landmark speech Wulff delivered in 2010 during his tenure as German president, which at the time sparked wide debate among supporters and opponents alike within the country. The debate over integration and religious identity in Germany continues to this day.
