The German ant-immigration party, ‘Alternative for Germany’, has adopted an anti-Islam manifesto on the second day of its two-day conference in Stuttgart.
Members voted to include a ban on minarets, the call to prayer and the full-face veil.
Co-leader Jörg Meuthen said after the vote Islam was not part of Germany:
“Sharia on German soil cannot be allowed. Also the treatment of women, as it is described in the Koran, in our point of view is not compatible with the German constitution. Still, this does not mean that we turn against Muslims who are integrated and live peacefully here.”

On Saturday up to 2,000 left-wing demonstrators chaled with police as they tried to break up the AfD’s conference. About 500 people were briefly detained and 10 officers were slightly injured.
