Germany right-wing party AfD walks out of Muslim meeting
Party leader Frauke Petry spoke to reporters after the meeting
4 hours ago
The right-wing political party Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD) has walked out of a meeting in Germany with the country's central council for Muslims.
Its leader Frauke Petry said the Muslim council refused to retract a comparison between the party and the Nazis.
Earlier this month, the AfD adopted an anti-Islam policy.
Attacks with a far-right motivation reached a 15-year high in 2015, the German government said on Monday.
