| DirtyP2002 said: without reading the whole thread: This is not about becoming Christians. It is about Christian / western values.You have to see women as equals and accept they have the same rights like you do. That is something muslims have their problems with. Of course this also counts for gay people or any other minority. So what Merkel actually says is against discrmination and for an equal society. Now think again if this might be the standard the Nazis tried to achieve. Reading comprehension FTW! |
At best, Merkel's wording was naive and rather poorly thought out. At worst, her wording was pejorative and demeaning to Islam.
She's not going to win any votes within the Muslim population by telling them they should become more Christian. If she wants to change the culture, explain the necessary changes in an entirely secular fashion. Don't start comparing the religions head to head. That's just stupid and I'd expect better from the leader of a western power.
