Reuters reports that when the flood of Syrian refugees finally settles, Germany could find itself housing Europe’s largest Muslim minority.
“We could suddenly have five million Muslims,” says Thomas Volk, an Islam expert at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
Experts say that many of the Syrian refugees resettling into Germany are middle to upper class, and are known to be hard workers. Lamya Kaddor, a German-born academic of Syrian descent, says the most important duty right now is to provide the immigrants with language lessons and work so they can get out of the refugee shelters, and begin their new life in Germany.
