MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Germany's local authorities should monitor the content of sermons in mosques throughout the country, as some of them promote ideas contradicting the secular character of the state, the leader of the ruling German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, Volker Kauder, said Friday.
"We need to talk about the fact that in some mosques sermons do not correspond to our understanding of the role of the state… The state must control them [mosques]," leader of the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Volker Kauder, told the Berliner Zeitung.
According to the Pew Research Center 2010 estimation, over 4.1 million of Muslims were living in Germany in 2010, while majority of migrants who have recently arrived to the country also adhere to Islam.
