Germany: Broadcaster Claims Ramadan an ‘Old German Custom’ Celebrated Longer than Oktoberfest

This is obviously false and ridiculous, but it’s also revealing. It shows how Muslims are going about colonizing Germany: as massive numbers of Muslim migrants continue to stream in, Muslim spokesmen, aided and abetted by the Leftist enemedia, are rewriting German history, claiming that Islam has always been there — much as Barack Obama used to claim, just as preposterously, that Islam had been part of America from the beginning.

The oldest mosque in Germany, by contrast, was built in Berlin in 1915 and was discovered by an archaeological team in 2015. The mosque, which was made of wood, was thought to have been intended for Muslim prisoners of war as it was built inside a World War One-era prison camp.

“Fasting in the month of Ramadan has long been part of the German religious landscape. It is a German reality. To break the fast in the evening, many people gather in Germany to eat together and to meet each other,” Güvercin said.

“Islamic religious practice has long since found its home in Germany. And we German Muslims are looking forward to Ramadan in our Germany. Nobody can deny that to us,” he added….
