“I'm not a Salafist, I'm a Muslim. Of conviction. I respect everyone, regardless of skin color or religion. I have friends, one is a Christian, the other is an atheist. I live here in Germany and grew up in multicultural Frankfurt am Main. Nobody cares where you come from, what you believe in. I noticed this tolerance from an early age. This report shocked me. [...] I don't think the [Salafists] dare to speak to me either. I have a completely different mindset. For me they are not Muslims, they are criminals. "
