I. Read the following news carefully and answer the

questions below.

No place to pray
(Why Munich’s muslims are turning to old pulbs,churches)
Munich, Germany — The sound of Muslim prayer drifts out from the old pub onto the
street, as men and women inside kneel on rugs laid down carefully minutes earlier.
A Jewish man stands in the doorway, listening intently, and a woman in the corner of the
room feeds her baby. Soon, the imam begins to preach, his sermon — in German —
washing over the faithful.
Line 8 This is no ordinary congregation, and no ordinary place of worship. Since May, this
community of liberal Muslims in Munich has been nomadic, seeking a new space to hold
their Friday prayers each week.
Line 11 Today a charitable foundation has lent them a meeting room in a former pub. But they
have no idea where they will pray next.
In the building next door, a mosque stands empty in the Munich Forum for Islam (MFI), an
organization set up in 2014 to promote a modern, European form of Islam. The mosque
here was forced to close down earlier this year because of overcrowding.
City council spokesman Stefan Hauf tells CNN that fire regulations were being breached
because of the large number of people trying to enter.
“People were praying outside on the street,” Imam Ahmad Popal, 27, says. “We locked the
door but they were climbing in through the windows.”
“For us Muslims, the mosque is a place where we come together, a place where we learn,
Line 21 a place where we find inner peace,” he says.“When we don’t have a mosque, we don’t
have that place.”
‘There were personal threats’
Line 24 There have been no open mosques in downtown Munich since May, when the MFI
mosque was shut down. Five other mosques in the city center were closed in the months
before that, some as a result of overcrowding, others because the tenants were forced to
leave after landlords declined to renew their rental agreements.
The absence of mosques is especially inconvenient on Fridays, when Muslims are
supposed to come together at lunchtime to pray. Muslims working or studying in central
Munich don’t have time to travel to mosques in the suburbs that have managed to stay
open.
Most of the remaining mosques in the city are small, and associated with particular
cultural or ethnic groups whose imams usually preach in their own language.
Over the past four months, Popal’s congregation has had no luck in its search for a
permanent home.
Several applications were rejected “as soon as they heard the word mosque,” says Popal,
adding: “People want to have nothing to do with that.”
The community has also faced active hostility, according to Erkan Inan, 42, a member of
the committee that runs the MFI. “We’ve had eggs thrown at this building and pork was
Line 40 put into our mailbox,” he says.

A week after the MFI mosque was closed, the congregation made plans to hold Friday
prayers in Marienplatz, Munich’s central square, outside the city hall, but cancelled them
after being threatened by right-wing groups.
“There were personal threats against my family, against me, against the community,”
Line 45 Popal says. “They threatened to throw pork at us, urine and blood, too.”
“I never wanted to provoke anyone,” he recalls. “I never wanted to protest. I just wanted
to make the people of Munich aware of the problem we were facing.”
When he learned of the congregation’s plight, Karl Kern, the priest of a Jesuit church
Line 48 nearby, offered them a room to pray in.
“When there are people who want to pray, God-fearing people must stand with them and
help them. That’s obvious to me,” says Kern.
By opening his doors, he also sent a message: Muslims are welcome in this city.
Churches, theaters and cultural institutions across Munich have since followed Kern’s lead.
While Popal and Inan are deeply thankful, there’s still no permanent solution in sight.
Line 54 ‘It was easier to build a nuclear power plant’
Between 2011 and 2015, 1.2 million Muslims arrived in Germany, many of them refugees
from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Muslims now make up around 5.5% of the population nationwide. This growth increases
the risk of overcrowding in mosques across the country.
And although many of Germany’s Muslims are well integrated — 96% say they feel closely
connected to the country, according to a recent report by an independent think tank —
they are not yet fully accepted.
The same report found that 19% of Germans say they don’t want a Muslim as their
Line 63 neighbor.
The lack of mosques is not unique to Munich, but it is most acute here, explains Aiman
Mazyek, chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, one of several national
umbrella organizations representing Muslim groups.
Munich is a politically conservative city with strong Christian traditions — there are 13
churches in the city center alone. Since the beginning of 2015, more than 160,000 asylum
seekers, many of them Muslims, have arrived here.
Across the country, mosques are being closed and communities are struggling to find
spaces to pray.
“Many people don’t want to sell or rent property to Muslims because they’re worried the
value will go down,” says Mazyek. “They might also think, ‘If I support this community,
maybe I’m supporting extremism as well.’”
Line 75 “Even 20 years ago, it was easier to build a nuclear power plant than a mosque,” says
Mazyek. Since 9/11, the growth of ISIS and the recent spate of terror attacks across
Europe, it’s become even harder, he says.

II. Find the subject, and predicate in each sentence. State whether ‘Subject’ is ‘simple
subject’ or ‘compound subject”. The Verb is present tense/past/future or perfect.

‘When will we wake up?’

(1) Popal believes there is a particular need for his take on Islam -- one where men and women pray
side by side, where the imam preaches in German, rather than Arabic, Turkish or Persian, and where
liberal European values hold sway.
(2) Sonia Haddad, 35, who attends the Friday prayers led by Popal, agrees. “I really like the dynamic of
this group,” she says. “The content and the fact that it’s spoken in German, that’s fantastic.(3)” She’s
also pleased to be part of a congregation where women are welcomed so fully.
(4) Like many Muslim communities across the country, Popal and Inan have sought help from the city
council in their search for a home, but they feel their requests have been largely ignored. “Of course we
support the idea of a European Islam, an Islam that shares European values,” says Hauf, the Munich city
council spokesman. “And we realize that this is an emergency situation.”
But he says state institutions are obliged to be neutral in religious matters: “We can’t simply build a
mosque.”
Inan insists this is not what his community wants. (5) “All we want is a gesture of sympathy. We don’t
want anything gifted to us. We just want to be able to rent some space.”
Inan believes the council has been avoiding the issue in the run-up to Germany’s federal elections this
weekend.
“People in the city are fearful about Muslims and politicians can’t win any votes by talking with us,” he
says.
(6) Marian Offman, a Jewish city councilor who attended the Friday prayers, believes anti-Muslim
sentiment in the community may be influencing the decisions of the council.
(7) “Of course there’s a lot of concern about Islam among the population because of recent terror
attacks,” he says. “That does make it difficult for the council.”
Since May, Offman has been helping the community to find temporary spaces to pray, and to find a
permanent home.
(8) His motivation is both personal and political. He says he has great respect for Popal’s religion and
also believes that a city-center mosque will help fight against radical forms of Islam.
(9) “When we help young Muslims to live their faith, there is less danger of them being radicalized,” he
says. “So it plays a part in preventing terrorism.”
Popal agrees. “If we forget about the young Muslims here, the terrorists stand ready,” he says. “They
will gather them up if we do not, because those young people are searching for some kind of
spirituality. When will we react to this? When will we wake up? When will we take this seriously?”
Mazyek is also concerned about the long-term consequences of mosques being closed. (10) “If you
want peace in your city, ensuring that religious communities have adequate space to practise their
religion is a vital building block,” he says.
(11) And the least a city council can do is “make clear to its citizens that we’re all in the same boat and
that we need to address the issue together.”
Popal and Inan are currently in discussions with a private landlord over a room near the city’s central
train station, but they’re only at the start of the process.
(12) Given how many Muslims based downtown lack places to pray, Popal is worried that overcrowding
could once again be a problem for their next venue, when they eventually find one.
Until that happens, pressure will continue to grow on existing mosques further afield.
“We’re out of sight, out of mind now,” Inan says. “But nothing is resolved.”
