Ahmed Sami spoke only Arabic when he moved from Morocco to Germany eight years ago to work as an imam. During his Friday prayer services at a mosque in western Germany, he soon noticed that many of the listeners could not understand him.
"The children and teenagers don't speak a lot of Arabic anymore," the 31-year-old imam said. "German is their native language."
