At Jewish studies school, Merkel appeals for tolerance
Jul 11, 2007, 18:31 GMT
Heidelberg, Germany - German Chancellor Angela Merkel called
Wednesday for greater religious and social tolerance in European
nations and a firm rejection of fundamentalism.
Addressing an audience at a school of Jewish studies in the
south-western city of Heidelberg, she said, 'Take the example of the
threat from Iran, whose president wants to eliminate the state of
Israel and denies the Holocaust.'
She said the international community had to respond to this threat
with resoluteness and solidarity. A wrong notion of tolerance was not
useful in practical politics.
She told 500 students and professors that the German state would
stand up to fundamentalists and other enemies of liberty.
Jewish, Christian and Muslim students attend the school in Heidelberg
to learn the basics about Jewish history and faith.
