Germany: Muslims angry on mosque remark
By: Anjum Kermani
BERLIN, Germany: A German Muslim group criticized
Chancellor Angela Merkel for suggesting that mosque minarets should
not be higher than church steeples, saying it hoped this topic would
not be used as a campaign issue.
Merkel, a Lutheran pastor's daughter who grew up in communist East
Germany, told a congress of her conservative Christian Democrats that
"we must take care that mosque cupolas are not built demonstratively
higher than church steeples".
Mosque-building is a sensitive subject in Germany.
Merkel's fellow conservatives in Bavaria have been saying for months
that minarets should not dwarf steeples. Local residents are up in
arms about plans to build mosques in Berlin, Munich and Cologne.

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
