The central sentence to this idea, which has been discussed for years, is: “Everyone who wants to live here must recognize our guiding culture without any ifs and buts.” “This included respect for the dignity of every human being, basic and human rights, the rule of law, respect and tolerance, and recognition of Israel’s right to exist.” Only “those who commit to our dominant culture can integrate and become German citizens.” The new basic program also expressly declares war on those who strive for an Islamist order. “Shariah does not belong to Germany,” it says explicitly in the draft. “Muslims who share our values belong to Germany.” In this way, the CDU clearly differentiates itself from a sentence by the then Federal President Christian Wulff (CDU), who said in 2010: “Islam now also belongs to Germany.”
