Edits made to the "Islam in Germany" Page


 * 1) I added a sentence under "Post-war Germany" about how the Germans had previously granted a wide range of religious concessions to Muslims due them being part of the German army in WWII. https://www.jstor.org/stable/40600977?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents "German utilized muslim soldiers during WWII, which forced them to grant a wide range of religious concessions"
 * 2) I added a sentence to the introductory paragraph stating that "Germany has the highest immigration percentage of all the EU countries". Also based off of the World Population Review https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369183X.2015.1082288
 * 3) I added a sentence about the death threats that mosques have been receiving in Germany under the "controversies" section. "In recent years Mosques in Germany have been receiving more and more death threats" https://academic.oup.com/jaar/article/85/4/1050/3867001
 * 4) I wrote a sentence about the presence of muslims in Germany in the 1600s. "Muslims were initially documented as having been exposed to the Germanic tribes in the early 1600s, specifically during the Siege of Vienna" (Sentence was edited out by wikipedia editors). https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=iBerBgAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PR5&dq=history+of+muslims+in+europe&ots=Pv4eCyShko&sig=wCwlQ9PzCiNHMzTGiAn9xwMBbMY#v=onepage&q=history%20of%20muslims%20in%20europe&f=false
 * 5) Under the Salafism section, I wrote a brief definition of Salafism so readers could understand it roots form the Sunnis and is a revival of past Islamic ideals. "Salafism is a branch of Sunni Islam that is a revival of original islamic ideas" https://oxfordre.com/religion/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780199340378.001.0001/acrefore-9780199340378-e-255

"In 2017, certain staff members and teachers at the University of Hamburg complained about Islamic students praying loudly in public areas."

 * 10) I added a sentence about the lowered male population of Germany post-WWII which was a reason for the massive immigration that occurred. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13537113.2015.1095528 (this also got taken out) "Immigration was necessary in spot-war Germany due to a shortage of mean and labor"
