During the centuries-long process of Reformation and Enlightenment, Christian churches had to accept some things they didn't like. Islam will have to do the same otherwise it isn't part of Europe.

More quotes by Wolfgang Schauble
You cannot form a community of countries of different strength without a certain amount of equilibrium. That is reflected in, for example, the EU budget and the bailout programs. That is why there are net payers and net recipients in Europe. A community cannot exist if the stronger do not take responsibility for the weaker.
Wolfgang Schauble
Greece's debts are all denominated in euros, but it isn't clear who holds how much of those debts. For that reason, the consequences of a national bankruptcy would be incalculable. Greece is just as systemically important as a major bank.
Wolfgang Schauble
I suggested that countries with tighter finances think about such a [fuel] tax. We don't have the time at the moment for months of discussion.
Wolfgang Schauble
It has been clear for some time now that we have to do more for domestic and external security. I am prepared for that.
Wolfgang Schauble
In the EU, we agree that the pressures causing migration must be reduced.
Wolfgang Schauble
If the conflict in Lebanon continues, the risk of attacks will grow. This is why we must contribute to a joint (international) responsibility and help secure peace in Lebanon.
Wolfgang Schauble
If we want to make Europe stronger, then each country first has to ensure that it becomes stronger itself. This applies to Italy and France, and it applies to Germany as well. Subsequently, we in Europe need to discuss how we can improve the community. That is the correct order.
Wolfgang Schauble
A number of politicians, including those within your own party, believe Germans would be safer if the German military didn't insert itself into so many of the world's hot spots.
Wolfgang Schauble
We were always faced with questions like: What about a religious community like Milli Görüs, which is represented by the Islamic Council? And what about the Central Council of Muslims? But we don't wish to exclude people from the start.
Wolfgang Schauble
Most of the mosques were built in our cities in recent years because Turkish citizens in those neighborhoods feel a growing need for places to pray.
Wolfgang Schauble
Germany has always stood for an E.U. of the 27 countries. But in light of Britain's continued resistance to further integration steps, as we saw with the fiscal pact, there are limits to my optimism in this regard. It's quite possible that we will have to create the new institutions for the euro zone first.
Wolfgang Schauble
If you make the state responsible for everything, you shouldn't be surprised when you end up with a state that bears some resemblance to a dictatorship.
Wolfgang Schauble
You can lead a happy life if you recognize that it's limited and completely unpredictable from one moment to the next.
Wolfgang Schauble
Europe has grown through crises. Each crisis also presents opportunities, and Europe has emerged stronger from each one. That is the way history unfolds. Europe is sometimes slow, and it reacts sluggishly, but it is capable of finding solutions.
Wolfgang Schauble
I think we will have to spend more on defense, for infrastructure, for extension of the broadband network and also for domestic security.
Wolfgang Schauble
It is true that no member state can be required to make payments to others. But if countries want to offer voluntary assistance, as in the Greek case, this isn't only allowed, but it's also in Germany's interest. We all benefit by ensuring the stability of the euro zone.
Wolfgang Schauble
We will not be able to meet the challenges of integration and the threats posed by international terrorism. If we want to prevent attacks, we'll need more information and better integration.
Wolfgang Schauble
We in Europe need to discuss how we can improve the community. That is the correct order.
Wolfgang Schauble
If you live beyond your means and have to restructure as a result, you pay a price.
Wolfgang Schauble
Many things can happen very quickly in times of crisis.
