Critics of Islam must fear for their lives: death threats and attacks,” says Tichy magazine. “Anyone who criticizes Islamic extremism must expect to be violently attacked in this country and without anyone being offended,” said journalist Jan Aleksander Karon. “In Germany it is increasingly dangerous to criticize Islam.”
INN The newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung tells us that Professor Susanne Schröter, director of the Frankfurt Research Center and professor at the Institute of Ethnology denounced the “cancel culture” which seeks to ban politically or morally unpleasant positions from universities. She referred to graduate students whose dissertations were not accepted because they dealt with “wrong” topics. For example, “honor killings” in Islam. “If an anthropologist deals with Islam, his career is over,” said Schröter.
-Former central banker Thilo Sarrazin was expelled from the SPD for criticizing Islam in two best sellers.
-Necla Kelek, an important personality of Turkish origin residing in Germany, who has written articles on arranged marriages and honor killings, can only speak in public under the protection of the police.
-Roger Koppel, director of the German newspaper Die Welt in 2006, escaped an attack by a Pakistani student, armed with a knife, who tried to break into his office. Koppel’s “crime” was that he republished the Danish cartoons about Mohammed.
-Gabrielle Brinkman is a famous and acclaimed German novelist, but she too suddenly ran out of publishing. In her novel Wem ehre Geburt (To whom the honor is due) there were some passages that, according to the lawyers of the Droste publishing house, could have irritated the Islamic community and exposed the publisher to lawsuits and intimidation. So the writer was asked to censor and correct the most delicate passages. Brinkman refused and was left without a publisher.
The University of Mainz revoked the university status of the think tank for humanism and the Enlightenment because it invited Hamed-Abdel Samad to a lecture. And when the Egyptian sociologist received the Josef Neuberger medal, the Antifa attacked him at the University of Munich. One tried to punch him and called him a “fascist”, because Samad had written a book criticizing Mohammed.
Hamed Abdel-Samad, an ex-Muslim son of an imam of Egyptian origin, who believes “Islam is a danger to society,” says that Islamic extremism and terrorism stems from the “core of Islam” – from its texts, its history of conquests, its founder, and its ideology. He said that the Prophet Muhammad had lowered the Jews to a “subhuman level, viewing them as animals,” and he compared the treatment of the Jews in the years following Muhammad’s death to that of the Nazis.
Abdel-Samad calls for an “Islam light” in Europe without shari’a, jihad, gender apartheid, proselytism and “entitlement mentality.” He criticized the German political establishment for appeasing Islam, while ignoring fears about Islam. According to Abdel-Samad, this behavior created resentment in the German population.
In an interview aired on Al-Hafez on June 7, 2013, hardline Egyptian cleric and Al-Azhar professor Mahmoud Shaaban accused Abdel-Samad of committing “heresy” and stated that “he must be killed for being a heretic…if he refuses to recant.” In 2015, after Abdel-Samad’s lecture in Cairo, the Egyptian preacher, Assem Abdel-Maged, called for him to be killed because he had allegedly insulted the Prophet Mohammed. Since then, he has been under police protection.
He reported that the universities of Augsburg and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität of Munich did not allow him to hold an event on political Islam and to present the results of his research on the Koran. According to Abdel-Samad, “Universities, intellectuals, officials of Islam and politicians of the central parties refuse to face an honest and open debate on Islam.”
“The University of Augsburg, which once honored me with an award as a model Muslim, now refuses to allow me to critically discuss the Qur’an. The University of Munich, which once entrusted me with teaching Islamic history to German and foreign students, now refuses to let me discuss the results of my research on the Koran in an open dialogue with students and citizens.”
Der Spiegel According to Abdel-Samad, in Islamic society, “Everyone suppresses everyone else. The government suppresses the people, and the people suppress each other.” Every day, we [Muslims] think about who or what has offended us. People are frustrated throughout the Arab world. They don’t know what to do with their rage, and they look for scapegoats.”
Below is the controversial letter Abdel-Salad wrote to Chancellor Angela Merkel on July 15, 2015:
Honored Madame Chancellor:
You are the chancellor of everyone who lives in Germany, so also naturally the chancellor of the Muslims. That does not empower you to claim that Islam is a part of Germany.
It is not the job of a politician to rehabilitate or evaluate a religion. Politicians are there for the people, not for the ideologies of those people. Before you publicly make that claim, you are obliged to explain to the citizens of this country what “Islam” actually is.
Either you do not know that all that is a part of Islam, and you are therefore unqualified to make this decision about Islam…
Or you do know and are purposely deceiving the citizens of this country, to facilitate the sale of tanks to Saudi Arabia (which the public does not want) and so as not to anger our Turkish trading partner.
You are wrong. You are deceiving us. And you are doing the Muslims here no favor by claiming something that does not correspond to the truth and which the majority of Germans see differently. Not only them, but many German Muslims and ex-Muslims, who had to flee their homelands to come to this open, free society, which politicians like you are in the process of destroying with drivel about Political Correctness and Globalization.
Yes, you — the politicians — are destroying the peace in this land and siccing people on each other. You are further exploiting the deterioration of the situation to gradually decrease basic rights in Europe and accelerate the spiral of forced tolerance.
Anyone who lives here must show respect, and then only a very little tolerance is needed! With that alone, a society develops homogeneously and uniformly and on its own. And people will not be afraid and will gladly deal with the new. But taking down crosses from churches and re-naming celebrations on orders from above and because of complaints from Muslims definitely are not! READ MORE
In Germany, a Muslim can spread writings about the killing of apostates, but a non-Muslim German is not allowed to warn against Islam’s orders to kill non-believers.
RAIR FoundationMichael Stuerzenberger is one of the most courageous men in Europe today. But unfortunately, he also may be one of the most prosecuted political dissidents in 21st-century Germany. Stuerzenberger has been taken to court for “hate speech” on multiple occasions in Germany and Austria. However, his most recent conviction for criticizing political Islam at one of his weekly rallies might land him in prison for seven months if he loses his appeal.
Despite his presentations at his rallies being entirely fact-based, the young German Judge in his case wasn’t interested in the facts. She said that his words, even if factually accurate, were “partially criticizing all Muslims and causing them negative emotional stress” and therefore punishable under the law. Her decision, in effect, introduces Sharia as part of the German legal code. If the verdict is upheld, anyone who criticizes political Islam in the future will face severe punishment, which could mean an end to any criticism of the “religion of peace.”
For more than a decade, Michael Stürzenberger has been holding popular presentations on Islam in downtown Munich. He is a tireless, fearless and writer, political activist & a counter-jihad fighter who provokes both Muslims and leftists with his well-informed expositions on the history and scripture of Islam. His weekly rallies against Sharia in downtown Munich caused him to be attacked by Muslims and later by Antifa. Michael has been prosecuted numerous times in Germany and Austria for challenging Islam and exposing Islamic history and central dogma.
In August 2017, Mr. Stürzenberger was convicted and sentenced to six months in prison (non-custodial) for posting a photo of a high-ranking Nazi leader and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem on his Facebook page. This photo was not photo-shopped or digitally altered. It was a simple historical artifact from World War II. The prosecution accused Stürzenberger of “inciting hatred towards Islam” and “denigrating Islam” by publishing this factual photograph.
Interview in English with Michael Stürzenberger (Please note, ALL but a few of his videos have been banned by Youtube in America)
Stürzenberger reacts to the courts latest ruling:
One can briefly summarize the events on Tuesday in the district court of Augsburg: young Judge, young public prosecutor. Facts on Political Islam – ignored. Facts in terms of the impact on reality – are meaningless. The differentiation between Muslims – is unimportant. Criticism of political Islam and its consequences – hate speech. Why? Because this will stir up “hatred” against some Muslims.
It would trigger “negative emotions” if I reported on terrorist attacks, murders, acts of violence, stabbings, and rapes and blamed the ideology of political Islam as one of the causes of these crimes. In the young judge’s and prosecutor’s judgment, these “negative emotions” towards the Muslims, who adhere to political Islam and would thus be associated with these crimes, obviously outweigh the suffering of tens of thousands of people in our country who are severely affected by these crimes.
The emotions of the women affected by 700 gang rape each year, disproportionately inflicted with massive damage by Muslims from fundamentally Islamic countries, obviously seem to carry less weight.
The desperation of a young Ukrainian who fled from the horrors of war is raped by a Tunisian and a Nigerian in the supposedly safe Düsseldorf and then flees from Germany to Poland, which is far safer in this respect, seems relatively insignificant to the court.
Incidentally, Afghans are 20 times overrepresented in gang rape statistics in relation to their share of society. No wonder, in Afghanistan, a country with 99% support for Sharia, in which political Islam took over power at lightning speed via the Taliban, the German government was entirely by surprise.

It just takes one thing to be taboo to criticize. That is Islam. Germany is done for.
Hartmut says
The final nail to the coffin of public discussion in Germany about any negative aspects of Islam came in 2017 under the last Merkel administration with the introduction of 2 new laws:
1. severely tightened hate speech law
2. network enforcement law
While No. 1 is never applied to Muslims openly propagating slaughter of Jews and Christians in the streets during demonstrations, confrontation of host citizens or online, it is most stringently enforced against any non-Muslim citizens uttering slightest hints of criticism against the religion of peace, leave alone it’s followers.
No. 2 requires internet providers to consistently monitor their content and their users for anything which remotely could fall under such law and delete such posts within 24 hours. Failing to do so results in multi million dollar fines. Hundreds of law enforcers had been assigned to solely search and investigate potential online hate crimes. Hate speech by Muslims again is not targeted here.
Countless professional careers throughout the entire society have been wrecked for ever that way, often tagged with a criminal record. All those who criticize such cancel culture become a target themselves on the spot. The Merkel administration, by empowering Antifa as well as unconstitutional law enforcemen, created an environment of denouncement and betrayal in which they are entirely unassailable when harshly cracking down on non-Muslim citizens.
It is typical for today’s German political system to show leniency for left and Muslim criminals but prosecute political opposition almost Soviet or Putin style.

Forget the schools and unis. The woke and we are more clubs have turned our schools into a transgender clima and migration is good club and not a place were you learn your abc or math. Germany forbitts any critic on islam and any german that does so will be punished by losing his job or getting fined and the social shitstorm is free. As i write germany will soon be called germanistan or deutschlanistan because we germans are soon in the minority. Germany is at the moment busy with finding money and hauses for the next million but we have no more..now what. Germany is falling and soon for all to see but germany pays about the half of the world and what happens when germany cant finanze these countries..yep war and that way more than the ukrain war going on mow. That is what our oliticians want because that is the only way they can instal the new world order and that order is something we cant want.

I have (ex) friends that live in Munich that I have known since the 1970s when I lived in Bavaria and they now call me a racist because I asked what is happening with all these backward muslims in Germany causing so much problems.
They are German, living in Germany, surrounded by Germans, most, if not all, of their friends are German, Im a Brit living in SE Asia surrounded by Asians, but Im the racist… Go figure huh?.
I mentioned to them the strong connection with Nazism and islamism… they went crazy, sending me hate filled rants about MY racism…Go figure…
They still seem to welcome these young muslim men into Germany and still feel guilt about a madman that lead their country over 70 years ago and so I asked them if they think the Japanese feel such a guilt trip, or the Cambodians, Chinese, British, Americans, Rwandans, or any other country that has a ”bad” past as all countries have a bad past as all countries came out of War, directly or indirectly and we need to learn from the past and not dwell on it.
One of the people in Munich informed me about the Vatican and the Pope etc regarding the sexual exploitation of children and that white men rape also… not just muslim men…
I guess they think equal treatment is a one way street.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
The quilt trip is being held high from all and that so that germany allways pays after the bull. The world has made it so far as to hold germany for all that happens in the world or why must germany make war with all like afgahnistan or mali and more. Everytime something happens they or their president runs to germany and tells us what we must do and give but what gives another country the right to drag another country into war. Germany is the wallet of the world and the german is in the world only to fill that wallet. How long will the german let this happen..well i see alot of people waking up around here and soon things will change for the better or worse we will see.

Quran (9:5) – “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush…..
God haters — the EU, British, European, Canadian, American, Australian and New Zealand satanist governments heavily colonized our formerly safe, free, happy nations with the devout followers of barbarian savage, warlord Mohammad.
Wicked governments have made our nations safe, secure and free for ALL Muslims, Muslim criminals, rapists, gang rapists, sex slaver gangs, violent attackers, drug cartels, savage killers, terrorists, terrorist organizations and genocidal monsters.
Our evil governments have transformed our beautiful nations into countries of horror, terror, fear, extreme suffering and HELL ON EARTH.
Bible, Romans 12:19
“VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.
They’ll spend all of Eternity in FIERY HELL.
The Observer says
It’s time for Germany to wake up. Ignoring criticism of the Muslims will not make the savage hurtfulness and murder from the Muslims go away. Sooner or later, there will be a People’s war against the Muslims; with or without the government’s help; the People can only take just so much before becoming their own soldiers. The government needs to understand that the religion of the Muslims, called Islam, is a criminal religion. A criminal religion is a religion that preaches its adherents to commit crimes, even murder, against the people Not of that religion. If the Germans want cheap labor; import the millions and millions of Christians being persecuted by Muslims and those Christians that are able to flee their countries. The German government is very stupid if it thinks the only source of cheap labor are Muslims. And most Muslims do not work anyway and just multiply while living under very generous free social benefits while burdening the German taxpayers. Muslims turn to crime as their religion commands them to do so to Non Muslims. Muslims bring War to Non Muslims. Muslims are already warring on Germany by committing horrible monstrous crimes against the Germans. And Muslims form more and more gangs and weaponize more and more. Germany is heading toward Civil War. Take away the Muslims and there will be no Civil War.

“Islam offers no answers to the questions of modern life.”
“Islam is past its zenith and is in a process of decay, of downfall….”
“Introducing rational ideas is indeed radical.” Truth told by an academic one that has my respect
Hartmut says
1. so true
2. unfortunately that seems wishful thinking, left western administrations often embrace Islam
3. again so true these days

We understand this is what the throwbacks want , to stop any critical thinking or criticism of the perverted prophet and his followers. Luckily we can say fuck the prophet here in the USA without any consequence. I know the democrats want to change this but for now we have free speech . So fuck the prophet .
