The Germany’s Green Party say Muslim life is central to German society and has long faced structural discrimination and lack of recognition. Therefore, Greens have presented a 24-point plan in the Bundestag aimed at promoting a “diverse Muslim life” across the country, including in schools, prisons, hospitals, and the Bundeswehr.
The motion calls for expanded Islamic religious education, nationwide Islamic pastoral care, and the removal of headscarf bans in public institutions. The Greens argue that Muslim life is an integral part of German society and that structural discrimination and lack of recognition have historically marginalized Muslim communities.
Specifically, the party seeks to establish Muslim military chaplaincy on par with Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish chaplaincies, with an annual cost of several million euros. They also propose a nationwide Islamic religious education program, enhanced support for Muslim welfare organizations, and protection measures at mosques.
