The Non-German Imams

This came up today in the German public news.

The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung folks sat down and looked over the entire nation, and all the mosques in the sixteen German states.  Presently....90-percent of the Imams leading the mosques are non-Germans.  Probably not a shock, but some might have thought it was nearer to 75-percent. 

The bulk of representation?  Turkey, Albania, the northern coastal countries in Africa, Egypt, and Iran.  Just from the Turkish Islam Federation.....they carry almost half of the Imams in Germany.

The ability to influence, even in a political way or persuasion....their membership?  Well, this is one of the things that the German leadership has viewed and wants corrected.  The intention is that a program via the national public university system, would carry German Islamic members to a Imam status.  How many years for this to effectively work?  You could probably be talking about twenty to thirty years before they've produced enough people to reset the statistic to just German citizens.
