Muslim-run accommodation in Munich?
 
My wife and I will be going to Munich in the spring, partly to meet up
with someone she knows ("friend" would be putting it a bit strongly).
This person is getting sucked into the German anti-Islamic thing. We
could stay with her but we'd rather have the option of getting away
from a conversational repertoire which is 50-50 sectarian feminism
and the Daily Mail. And it would be nice to make a certain point.

Anyone know of midrange B&Bs run by Muslims in Munich? Bonus points
for framed Koranic inscriptions in the lobby and the owners speaking
Turkish (which I know a lot better than German) or maybe Kurdish
(which I'd like to learn more of). Can't afford places aimed at Gulf
oilmen; can afford better than places aimed at workers straight off
the bus from Diyarbakir.

I wouldn't know, but maybe in the area near the central train station,
where there is a sizable number of shops run by ethnic Turks, there is
such a place.

No, but I can suggest a Mexican bar-restaurant in Duesseldorf run by a
Palestinian. (This is not a joke)

There used to be a "Murphy's Pakora Bar" in Glasgow, and a bit later
a "Three in One" takeaway that did Indian, Turkish and Chinese food
(or was it Indian, Chinese and pizza? it's gone now).

and an Iraq restaurant run by an Iraqi, an Iranian and a Syrian in Leiden.


Their kebabs rotate on the Axis of Evil? (I see there are now North
Korean restaurants too:

Maybe one of our Amsterdam regulars could try it? But they probably
don't offer dog, which is a pity).

I've tried searching in Turkish, but while I can find lots of tours
to Munich from Turkey, none of them say what accommodation they use.

You could stay in Istanbul and commute.

Plus, Lebanese restaurants are ten a penny.

Do Muslims eat dog? I thought dogs were considered "unclean". We had a
couple of Muslim care-givers in the senior retirement home where I live,
but they had to fire them because they refused to enter apartments where
the resident had a dog. (Apparently cats are okay - perhaps the urban
legend about the Prophet cutting off his sleeve, rather than disturb a
sleeping cat, may be true?)

Koreans _do_ eat dog. Nothing to do with Muslims.

It wasn't an attachment, it was a URL. My news provider wouldn't
let me post attachments to a non-binary group even if I wanted to
and could get my newsreader to do it.

The Daily Mail doesn't provide any serious evidence for their
suggestion that North Korea is interested in opening a restaurant
in Scotland.
