Critics of Islam, and critics of these critics, argue with powerful eloquence about the role of Islam in modern societies. What does this discussion tell us about German society? Why is a minority such a source of concern for the majority? Is Salomon Korn right when he asserts that Germans are too weak to accept «the foreign»? What do the basic principles of the Enlightenment – such as freedom of religion and tolerance – really mean, and what do these values imply regarding our relationship with Muslims?
