At the beginning of the cabinet career of Interior Minister Friedrich (CSU) is one - unfortunately apodictic and distinct from mundane political interest-headed interpretation of history. The text: "The fact that Germany is one of Islam is a fact that this has been confirmed also from the history of anywhere."
reopened with its Constitution Minister Friedrich entering one of the most inane debates of the last year. He did this largely without being asked and without any need - to leave well a political fragrance brand. However, there is much to be said that Friedrich has not made this statement without thinking.
that Islam today Germany is one, can anyone actually more of be seriously disputed. Even in the CSU must assume it to be known, that live in this country about four million Muslims. This represents 5% of the population. In many schools and universities, in Heidi Klum's debutantes in 'Germany sucht den Superstar ", the share shall sometimes much higher. Even in the German national football team, the rate of Muslims is between 10-30% depending on the arrangement (for which we should be thankful as it stands next to the triune God and Allah and the God of Football on knees).
All know the rather clever CSU politician Friedrich, but it just does not like him particularly. That something so irrational and uncivilized Reflex bring directly to the expression, as would be Mr Dobrindt, Frederick is not style and it would also damage the host for the long term by the Secretary attributable to Islam Conference.
CSU politician Friedrich thus resorted to a trick. He dazzled the (for many conservatives in any case as deplorable perceived) presence of a moment of complete and ventured a supposedly meaningful digression on the history of our country. The underlying message is something like: "Of course I know that today many Muslims actually live in Germany, but this represents for me a kind of disturbance of the equilibrium historical, moral and cultural identity our country, dar. "Friedrich conjures So a supposedly traditional mono-cultural order against the supposedly destructive forces of modernity and multiculturalism.
Communicative is Friedrich in providing this (not just an integration policy rather counterproductive) Embassy succeeded without any doubt. evidence of its very extensive exegesis of German history he provided does not. Friedrich presented demonstrate that even very smart politician and very clever lawyers can make lousy historians. His claim is demonstrably false.
It gets worse. Not only Frederick's historical submissions can even by historical lay frighteningly be clearly demonstrated and easily. This may rely in their criticism even Frederick himself. Not in the CSU politicians, but to Frederick the Great of Prussia and the German icon of all conservatives.
This was shortly after he took office in 1740, was clearly expressed in a letter opinion on the question of religion: "All religions seindt same and guht wan, nuke the people they profesieren [(publicly) admit], variable people seindt, and whom Turks and pagans and Wolter Kähmer the land [populated] pöbplieren, so they want to build wier Mosquee and churches. " On 22
June 1740, he generalized this finding with the famous dictum: "Everybody should be happy in their own fashion" (cf. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_II._ (Prussia)).
Frederick II of Prussia operation even very active the settlement of Muslims in Prussia and adopted for this purpose on 22 July 1775 an edict on the settlement of Muslim Tatars in West Prussia, "You will therefore give you every imaginable effort to jointly bewürcken (...), how to win these people and can be pulled into the country. I will gladly allow them to build mosques and they should all enjoy protection. "

The legal-historical tradition of the Islamic Religious Community in Germany goes back even into 1739. Based on a royal decree of Frederick's father, King Friedrich Wilhelm I, this year established the first Islamic community in Germany. "The Muslims were promised that they can exercise their religion freely and that they are protected by the state, and during the long reign of Frederick the Great, in fact, they enjoyed a stable protection." (Http://akademie.coart.de / history / news / were-what-the-real-targets-from Prussian King /)
founding members 22 "Turkish" were the Duke of Courland the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I (1713-1740) had made available. A source said: "The Prussian king had sent for them in 1739 in Potsdam, a hall near the new soldiers Church (Garrison Church) on the Long house dressing as a mosque. He attached great importance to the fact that going about "its Muslims" their religious duties. The history of this community, founded by royal decree making it part of the Prussian-German history. Founded in 1739 as a way to Potsdam "adopted child" of the Royal Prussian army, they went through a lot of stations up to the death of Reich President Paul von Hindenburg in 1934. "(Http://www.enfal.de/grund12.htm). The
under Frederick William I and Frederick II in the Prussian forces captured Muslims justified a proud military tradition, which continued until the end of World War II. Muslim Tatars and Bosnians were among others used in the cavalry unit of the Lancers (from the Turkish word for boy / soldier) (see Oleh Faruk Şen, Hayrettin Aydın, "Islam in Germany" 2002). The fact that the Turkish officer Kemal Ataturk carrier was the Iron Cross should, in this context be mentioned.
Although the remarkable tolerance the Prussians against Muslims as a religious group in other German states was less sophisticated, integrated themselves elsewhere Muslims into German society. After Munich, the first Muslim Turks came in 1686. Although this as prisoners of war and not as guest workers, but still are they. "Brought the elector 1686 296 and 1688 more than 400 Turkish prisoners of war to Munich, this was for the channel work to the palaces in Nymphenburg, Schleißheim and Dachau, and in the manufacture of used cloth production. in 1688 there was even a guild of their own armchair Turkish support (http://www.stadt-muenchen.net/).
Many oral and written historical records and testimonies, as well as legends take to refer to the immigration of Muslims to Germany. In this sense, I was indulged myself in a small historical digression: Not only the country-and family-historical tradition, but also a unique monument to point out that Zuleika (or Fatima), the wife of 1545 who returned from military service, Hans von Brandenstein, probably the the first Muslim and Turkish origin was Thuringian.
"The Baron Hans von Brandenstein had gone to France to train in warfare. 1525 he became King Francis I as a page in the battle of Pavia captured with this. Since he joined Imperial military service over and fell at the siege of Buda in Turkish captivity. After three years of hard work forced him to the Turkish military leader Ibrahim because of his war experiences have taken as an adviser on his campaigns in Syria and Persia. He was said to have offered a high government position, but for the condition of the crossing Islam. The legend says that he a noble Turk Zuleika (or Fatima) after 16 years helped to freedom. On a ship, he escaped and returned in 1545 with her back home. Here he led then with the consent of his wife Helene von Stein, and with papal approval, a double marriage.

Today's popularly known as "Türkenhof" designated home of Jack and Fatima fire stone can still be admired today. We would love a native of Naila Mr Interior Minister invite to just 70 kilometers away Oppurg to there with a cup of (Turkish) coffee, the rich and diverse historical evidence of the (in our case very identity) influence of Muslims and Islam in Germany . discuss
