A recent survey conducted in Germany reportedly revealed that some of the country’s states affirmed that local mosque communities should be able to finance themselves.
The German federal government may consider implementing a so-called “mosque tax” in order to deal with the country’s Muslim institutions’ dependency on funding from abroad, the local Welt am Sonntag newspaper reports.
According to the newspaper, Berlin regards this measure as “a possible path”, with several of Germany’s states already expressing their support in principle to implement the new tax which would mirror the already-existing “church tax”.
