Excerpt:
Mazyek said the government needed to work harder on making Muslims feel at home in Germany and to campaign against Islamophobia. He said lack of integration into society was the main cause for radicalization of Muslim youths.
Mazyek added that Muslim groups had already been cooperative in the government's bid to prevent terrorism. He said that the effort should not be a "one-way street."
Further criticism of the summit came from Kenan Kolat, head of the organization Turkish Community in Germany, who said the meeting provided "no new insight." Kolat questioned the purpose of the summit. He said the German Islam Conference, also called by the government, already focused on the topic of radicalization and that security should be the responsibility of security authorities.
The best prevention against radicalization, Kolat said, was good education.
