Berlin, 24. 10. 2010 (ESI) - On 3 October, on the 20th anniversary of the reunification of East and West Germany, President Christian Wulff spoke in Bremen about the need for a second process of German unity. As he told his audience, in addition to Christianity and Judaism, "Islam also belongs to Germany": "When German Muslims write to me, 'You are our president,' then I answer, wholeheartedly, 'Yes, of course, I am your president!'"
