Nassauer said a religious legal system must not influence the state legal code.
"According to our conception of most fundamental human rights, the liberty of... faith is one of the most important ones. It includes the right to live without faith and consequently you do not have to obey a faith which is not yours," he said.
Nassauer said restrictions on women introduced under Sharia were "not acceptable".
"From our point of view it's not acceptable to forbid women to leave the house alone after eight o'clock in the evening," he said, citing one example delegates heard about.
Why aren't we hearing this louder and more often?
