Necla Kelek on immigration

Turkish-German sociologist Necla Kelek, who attracted widespread attention with her book "Die Fremde Braut" (the foreign bride) and her fight to have forced marriages banned, is one of the most controversial figures in the debate surrounding immigration and integration in Germany. Critics accuse her of exaggerating in her descriptions of the Turkish immigrant milieu and conveying a biased picture of Islam. "We forget that many Muslim immigrants here live in 'collectives' whose world views are dominated by Islam," Kelek explains in an interview led by Regina Mönch and Heinrich Wefing. "These groups, which we affectionately refer to as large families, live according to different rules. There are no individual freedoms, no 'yes' or 'no' to the headscarf, to imported brides or bridegrooms. Those who leave the group commit treason. Few dare to do this, and neither the schools nor job centres nor social security offices are sending a strong message against this that could bring about a change."
