German Ministry Apologizes for Serving Pork Sausage at Conference on Islam

TEHRAN (IQNA) – German Ministry of Interior issued an apology over serving pork sausage to the people attending the German Islam Conference in Berlin.

According to BBC, the sausage in question was the so called “blood sausage” (blutwurst) which counts pig blood, bacon and pork among its ingredients.

This development prompted journalist Tuncay Ozdamar to inquire what kind of signal the ministry wanted to send.

The interior ministry however insisted that the buffet at the event offered a variety of choices, including halal, vegetarian, meat and fish dishes, and that all data-x-items “had been clearly marked.”

Speaking at the conference, German Minister of Interior Seehofer said that "Muslims belong to Germany."

This is while in March, he had said that "Islam doesn't belong to Germany," and that "Germany has been shaped by Christianity".
