The German muslims react

All the German muslim organisations had a press conference today in which they disapproved the violence in the protest against the so-called "anti-muslim caricatures". Needless to say they disapproved the caricatures as well... This doesn't sound like that big news, but in fact it is: It's a commitment to the freedom of speech and a democratical handling of things you like or don't like, it's playing the game of peacefully stepping in for your pressure group and bring their needs to the press - and it's the first time ever the muslim groups in Germany spoke with one tongue. After 45 years of huge mislim minorities in Germany they finally arranged a press conference together. Sounds like a "Never Say Never" episode :-)

Even the Jewish Council of Germany joins in and supports the German muslims after it's press conference.

(Maybe the latter is even more noteworthy!)
