Activities of Muslim associations in Germany (inquiry)
...
11. How does the Federal Government rate that the Central Council of Muslims in Germany e. V. (ZMD) is supported by organizations that are classified by the constitutional protection offices as an extremist aspiration, such as the founding member German Muslim Community (DMG) e. V., which is also accepted by the Federal Government as a point of contact and dialogue, for example within the framework of the German Islam Conference?
12. Why is the Federal Government holding on to this background that the ZMD e. V. is accepted as a contact and dialogue partner? Questions 11 and 12 are answered together on the basis of the factual context.
The Federal Government has long been aware that member organizations of the Central Council of Muslims (ZMD) also include, to a considerable extent, organizations monitored by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution/domestic intelligence agency (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz). Due to its heterogeneous composition, the ZMD is still part of the dialog formats of the Federal Government.

Policemen sound the alarm: Clans in NRW claim entire streets for themselves
Police are sounding the alarm: Clans should act more violently and reclaim entire streets for themselves. This was especially the case in the clan strongholds in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia. The Confederation of German Criminal Investigators (BDK) is therefore calling for a stricter course.
As the world reports, 50 Arab-Lebanese clans occupied the public space in NRW alone. Parallel judiciary and companies have formed. "The behavior of especially the criminal members of large families is a prime example of failed integration." The BDK assesses the situation in the position paper "Combating clannelecurity: strategic direction - sustainable success", which has now been published.

... The credibility of claiming a shortage of skilled employers is inversely proportional to unemployment and the rise in wage levels. In certain fields it can happen that the demand for employees can not cover the supply of jobs. In such a case in a functioning market either the equilibrium price in the form of the wage level would increase. However wages are currently stagnating in much of Europe and the industrialized world. If one is unwilling to pay a reasonable price for a good or service then one can not complain about a shortage at this price. Or employers would resort to training young workers or retraining other workers with a different education. ...

Number of asylum applications from Nigerians has risen
The number of asylum applications from Nigerians has apparently risen sharply since the beginning of the year. As the newspapers of the Funke-Mediengruppe report, in the first three months 3,923 people from Nigeria applied for asylum in Germany.
...
The CDU domestic politician Armin Schuster pointed out that many Nigerians from Italy came illegally to Germany. "It also involves the import of criminal Mafia structures that have formed there," he said. According to Schuster, few Nigerian asylum seekers submit valid identification documents, which makes their deportation in the event of a negative asylum decision considerably more difficult. According to the report of the Funke Media Group, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) is aware of activities by three groups of Nigerian offenders, above all in smuggling and forced prostitution.
