Berlin, (IINA) - In a change of policy, the Head of Germany’s Central Council of Muslims (ZMD) Aiman Mazyek has called for a limit on the number of migrants the country takes in, saying capacity will soon be exhausted, Breitbart online news reported.
The Chairman of Germany’s largest Muslim organization ZMD has warned against the uncontrolled reception of migrants to the country. In an interview with German newspaper Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung, Mazyek said: “Morally, there may be no upper limit because of the values of our constitution and our historic responsibility. Practically, however, it seems this limit will obviously be reached soon in Germany.”
Mazyek said that his fellow Muslims have a particular responsibility for helping in the migrant crisis, pointing out that Muslims have indeed already provided a lot of assistance. In his opinion, more could still be achieved, he explained. “But you could achieve even more if the state and society would support us and have more confidence in our integration schemes. “Distrust of religion in general and fear of Islam after Paris attacks, even though Muslims themselves are the main targets and victims of terrorists in the world, significantly affects integration work with refugees.”
Mazyek said the influx of thousands of migrants means the number of Muslims in Germany has increased by around 25 percent in recent months, which for Muslims already living in the country has meant a change in how they live.
