Sending daughters to school is mandatory in Germany. It tells you nothing.

Saudi Arabia has been complaining to the EU about extremist views being taught in European mosques.




It tells me that female Muslims are about as well educated as male Muslims in Germany. From what I hear from teachers, they do better in school than their male peers.

I don't disagree that there are some extremist Muslims in Germany, but I don't think that there are enough extremists to explain the large disparity in fertility between Muslims and non-Muslims.


When you say SA has been complaining about Euro Mosques teaching Extreamism, which definition of Extreamism are you referring to?

The formal one or what Saudis find Extreme? If it is the latter, then Saudis’ complaints would be laughable and ironic since their Human Rights’ record isn’t what anyone would laud them for.


No different than this:

If somebody from Finland thinks your country is too cold in the winter, your country is absurdly cold.
