"The slow dissolution of the separation of religion and state taking place in Turkey is poison for democracy," they said. They added: "Our country must protect the people who oppose Erdogan's cultural battle and propaganda." The two ministers warned in their Spiegel Online commentary that Erdogan's "dangerous ideologies must not be imported to Germany via certain mosques."
