Wolfgang Schauble quotes about
europe difficult-situations difficult
It's understandable that Europe's Muslims are in a difficult situation, which is partly their own doing and partly not.
ideas leader criticism
The Pope was more critical of Christianity than Islam during his visit (to Bavaria). He said on several occasions that the secular world influenced by Christianity must face the idea that it may not be as attractive as it once was. The leaders of other faiths might also be well-advised to admonish their own now and then and not always direct their criticism at others.
times-of-crisis crisis happens
Many things can happen very quickly in times of crisis.
senior mean competition
Politics means competition, especially in senior positions. If you don't know that, you're not especially suited to politics.
country growth would-be
In China, it was always said that a double-digit rate of growth would be dangerous. Now, the country has a growth rate of 6.9 percent and suddenly that is supposed to be a catastrophe for the global economy.
teacher school goal
When it comes to training imams, one needs a partner. But if we want the mosques to preach peaceful coexistence, we will have to do something about it. One goal of the conference is to find a partner for the training of imams and teachers of Islam in schools.
pressure migration agree
In the EU, we agree that the pressures causing migration must be reduced.
europe oil worry
At the moment we are facing a whole collection of difficult to forecast developments from the situation in China and the oil-price crash to the worrying news from some banks in Europe and the US. All of that is linked: Worldwide company debt is high and there is a lot of money in circulation. That is why necessary structural reforms are not being made.
growth imf reform
I don't know how many resolutions from the IMF or G-20 we have already written saying that such [financial] reforms are necessary for new growth.
development watches crisis
We are facing a whole collection of crisis-like developments that we have to watch closely. But we also have to be careful what we point to as crisis indicators.
islam want ifs
I don't want to change Islam, but if there is to be a European Islam, it must incorporate European values.
tolerance opinion incapable
Those who constantly qualify everything and have no opinions of their own are ultimately just as incapable of tolerance.
unions believer firm
I'm a firm believer in the monetary union.
country stronger three
About three million Muslims live in the country, but we have no relationship to our diverse Muslim society, despite the fact that it's an established part of our larger society. We need to build a stronger foundation for the relationship between Muslims and the state.
