A German Muslim group unexpectedly pulled out Wednesday from planned talks with the government about the integration of Islamic values, days before discussions were to restart.
The Central Council of Muslims said the government-sponsored Islam Conference had no concrete goals and did too little to tackle Islamophobia.
"The German Islam Conference is nothing but a government-decreed forum," said Ayyub Axel Koehler, who heads the nationwide alliance of Sunni mosques.
