German Greens Propose Nationwide Islamic Education and Military Chaplaincy
3rd March 2026
Germany’s Green Party has 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.
Lamya Kaddor, the Greens’ domestic policy spokeswoman, called for stronger state support and civil society initiatives to ensure “real participation” and counter stigmatization.
I wonder whether they would support such a program for Jews. I suspect not.
