Quote

According to the Catholic news agency KNA, Totakhyl's original goal was to establish a representation for Muslims based on German society and the legal system, with democratic and transparent structures, largely independent of foreign influence. "He no longer sees a chance for that." Hence the resignation. "(P. 64)"
