Mohammed Coefficient: Infinite

Mohammed is becoming increasingly popular as a name for newborn baby boys in Germany. Sweden and the U.K. are already well ahead in this regard, where Mohammed may even be #1. If not, it will be soon.

Anyone who looks askance at this trend is immediately demonized as a racist and a xenophobe. But really, why would anyone want to celebrate the ascendancy of Islamic names for babies in Bremen or Dresden? What sort of place will Germany be in twenty years, when the majority of youngsters are Muslims with an ethnic heritage in the Middle East or Africa? Why is this considered a good thing?

Most popular first names

2022 More and more babies in Germany are called Mohammed

No longer Max or Paul, but Mohammed is what babies are most often called in Berlin. In other federal states as well, the Muslim first name is increasingly in the forefront.

Berlin

The first name Mohammed has gained popularity in Germany in the past year. In Bremen, Hesse and Berlin, for example, it was one of the most frequently given names for newborns, as the Society for the German Language announced on Monday.

In Berlin, Mohammed was the most popular first name for boys in 2022. Last year he had ranked third. Previously first and now second is the fashionable name Noah. This is followed by Adam.

In Bremen, the first name Mohammed has moved up from third place to second place. First is Matheo, third Finn. Last year the ranking was Finn, Noah, Mohammed.

Mohammed moves up to third place in Bremen

In Hesse, too, the name of the Muslim prophet is on the rise. There he fought his way from eighth to third place. Matheo has slipped from first to second and Noah is on top.

This year, short names such as Ella, Emma, Mila and Sophie dominate among the girls in the three federal states.

Babies are called Emil or Karl in the East, Noah in the West

A gap can be seen in particular between the eastern federal states and the west of the Federal Republic. While in North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate or Baden-Württemberg, male newborns usually bear the names Noah and Matheo, which come from the Hebrew, German classics such as Emil or Karl are cultivated in Brandenburg or Saxony.

Nationwide, the name Noah ranks first among boys. This is followed by different spellings of Matheo and Leon. For girls, the three most common first names were Emilia, Sophia/Sofia and Emma.

Culture-Enriching Stabbing of Schoolgirls in Neukölln

Neukölln is a severely culturally enriched borough of Berlin. Last week a man went on a stabbing rampage in a primary school in Neukölln, seriously wounding two little girls. Gary Fouse has translated two articles about the incident.

The first article is from the Berliner Morgenpost. You’ll notice that there are no hints about ethnicity in this report, just the usual boilerplate about mental illness:

Motive unclear

Attack in Neukölln school: Man wounds schoolgirls

by Sebastian Kohler
May 3, 2023

In a Berlin school, a man attacked two schoolchildren. Both were taken injured to the hospital. What is known.

In a school in Berlin-Neukölln, two schoolgirls were seriously wounded in a physical attack. The girls, ages 7 and 8 years, were apparently attacked by a man, leaving one of the girls in a life-threatening condition. The Berlin police were able to announce the arrest of the presumed perpetrator. Who he is and for what reason he attacked the two children is as yet not clear.

Police arrest presumed perpetrator: Schoolgirl in life-threatening condition

The BZ (Berliner Zeitung) first reported the attack on the school on Mainzerstrasse. Several children were reportedly witnesses to the traumatic attacks. According to initial information, the weapon is allegedly a knife. Both victims of the attack were carried by a helicopter for treatment. As for the provisionally-arrested person, a Berlin police spokeswoman gave no information. “We are investigating all angles,” says the police press office.

According to information obtained by BZ, the perpetrator waited for the police after the attack and submitted to arrest without resistance. The rear door of the school was closed off by police at 3pm, two hours after the attack. Parents stood before the main entrance and waited for their children. They were allowed to leave the building after a few minutes and were turned over to their parents.

[Tweet above video:]

Berlin education senator Katharina Günther-Wünsch, on the knife attack at the Evangelical School in Neukölln: “Religious or political motive on the part of the perpetrator can probably be ruled out. No regular operation in the next two days.”

What motivated the perpetrator to wound the two girls in a serious, life-threatening manner is yet completely unclear. Neither political or religious motives are believed to have led to the bloody act. As the Berliner Zeitung writes, the perpetrator is reportedly psychologically sick and knew neither of the children.

[Tweet: Kai Wegner (Berlin mayor)]

I am shocked at this unthinkable act. My thoughts in these difficult hours are with both the wounded girls, for whom I wish a speedy recovery. My sincere condolences to the parents, teachers, schoolmates, as well as friends.

For the next two days, school administrators have suspended classes. The children who were witnesses to the act were provided with spiritual counseling, as were the rescue personnel who first showed up at the crime scene. Berlin’s governing mayor, Kai Wegner (Christian Democrat party) expressed his horror on Twitter and expressed his sympathy to the relatives of the victims.

The second article is from Der Tagesspiegel. As is customary in Germany and other Western European countries, the report is coy about the alleged perpetrator’s surname: he is identified simply as “Berhan S.” However, the name Berhan is common in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Factor in the description of his “strictly religious family”, then draw your own conclusions:

Belligerence in the Buff

Those cute li’l North African culture-enrichers are always up to their amusing shenanigans in Italy. This particular example features a naked, drunk middle-aged Tunisian guy who attacked police and vehicles in the town of Villorba.

Slalom between cars and punches thrown at Carabinieri: The madness of the Tunisian (nude and drunk)

by Marco Leardi
May 2, 2023

The North African, nude and in a state of inebriation, threw himself at some cars on the provincial road to Villorba (Treviso). Upon the arrival of the Carabinieri, punches and kicks before being immobilized.

He was completely nude and drunk. Violent in his attitude and out of control. A 50-year-old man of Tunisian origin was surprised while walking along the provincial road in Villorba (Province of Treviso), performing slalom [dodging] between moving cars and trying to stop a few. The man, without fixed abode, was spotted by some motorists yesterday (May 1) and subsequently stopped by Carabinieri, who immobilized him with much effort. While the Carabinieri were trying to placate him, in fact, the individual continued to throw himself at them with kicks and punches. The indecent spectacle, just the latest sign of urban decay, took place in the location in Treviso province near the Benetton factory.

In a video shot by a passing driver that circulated online, the Tunisian appears with his butt to the wind as he was walking undisturbed on the transit road to Provincial Route 102. With a finger pointed at the sky, he pounced on the windshield of some passing cars, throwing punches and slaps. On seeing the subject, who turned out to be an old acquaintance of the police, some citizens alerted 112 [dialed 911] reporting the presence of that man, out of his mind, who was putting their safety in danger and especially passersby. Several drivers, in fact, were forced make quick turns and sudden stops to avoid the 50-year-old, in an obviously confused state.

Upon arrival, the Carabinieri approached the North African, ordering him to stop. But nothing doing: the foreigner continued his crazy slalom and his aggressive attitude, forcing the Carabinieri to immobilize him by force. Even this final operation — according to what we have learned — was not simple: Notwithstanding the pleas to calm down, the homeless man also struck the police with kicks and punches, as well as their vehicle. After he was immobilized it was necessary to take him to a hospital in Treviso.

The local press reports that, fortunately, only one of the Carabinieri suffered contusions which will heal after a few days. Meanwhile, the 50-year-old was charged by the police yesterday for resisting a public official, personal injuries, and aggravated property damage.

Shia vs. Sunni in Vienna

The following article describes what is essentially an intramural Islamic conflict in Austria.

As most readers know, there is a long-standing (and often violent) conflict between the Sunni and Shiite branches of Islam. Most of the current Muslim invaders in Europe are Sunni, but a small minority are Shiites, largely from Iran. The incident described below happened at a Shiite-affiliated Iranian mosque in Vienna.

Man badly beaten twice at Vienna mosque

April 29, 2023

A man went into a Vienna mosque to ask about the situation in Iran. The response was repeatedly “quick on the trigger.”

Heute reader Mido* (name altered by editorial staff) went into an Islamic center in Vienna last October to ask questions about the worrisome situation in Iran. At that time, his concerns were brutally attacked — and he was as well. In the middle of April, the man tried again at the faith center — about 20 people chased after the activist.

Man in hospital after mosque visit

The death of the 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in her hometown of Saghes in northwestern Iran caused shock and indignation worldwide, Heute reported. Since then in Iran, it has been one stone on top of another. All over the country there have been regular demonstrations — some brutally broken up. For Mido, an unbearable situation, which is why he went to the “Imam Ali” Islamic Center in the 21st district of Vienna. There he sought answers to his critical questions.

The 43-year-old received a solid beating — and on two occasions. In October, several men beat the activist out of the premises. In mid-April it happened again: Mido was beaten a second time.

A colleague who was with him, however, was able to escape from the charging thugs at the last second. From an opposite building, the witness filmed the unsettling tumult in Floridsdorf.

“I would like to be the voice for all Iranians who are suffering under the Mullahs’ regime”

“For me, it is incomprehensible that faithful people support the situation in Iran. I would like to be the voice for all Iranians who are suffering under the Mullahs’ regime,” says the man to Heute. For his solidarity, the man has had to deal with a lot of setbacks. However, Mido doesn’t want to give up “until justice is restored in Iran”. He has filed several reports to the Vienna police for bodily injury. The investigations are ongoing.

Heute asked the Islamic Religious Community in Austria what the tumult was all about. To date, there has been no response.

“Dehomogenization of society”

Scandal Over Admission of Afghans

An organization whose boss wishes that Germany no longer existed decides whether Afghans will be admitted. No problem for Interior Minister Faeser.

Berlin

Although the chairman of Mission Lifeline wants Germany to no longer “EXIST” and wants to promote the “dehomogenization of society”, the organization can continue to decide on the admission of Afghans. [Dehomogenization? This sounds more like “DEHUMANIZATION” of the German people to me, and is just another fancy word for genocide.]

This emerges from the response of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, led by Nancy Faeser (SPD), to a request from the CDU MP Detlef Seif, about which Die Welt reports. The association may therefore continue to participate as an “appointed body” in the federal government’s Afghanistan admissions program. [I guess this government hasn’t enough native German blood on their hands; why else cry for more?]

The head of Mission Lifeline, Axel Steier, tweeted in January: “Everyone hopes for… an end to racism and isolationism. I’m afraid that won’t happen as long as Germany exists.” [Who is the racist here?] He also wrote: “The dehomogenization of society is progressing. I support that with my work.” [This guy calls for genocide, and technically should’ve been arrested for it. Where is the UN Office on Genocide Prevention now? A mental element: the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such”; and a physical element, which includes the following five acts, enumerated exhaustively:

  • Killing members of the group
  • Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
  • Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
  • Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
  • Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group]

Steier remains the contact for Afghans

Is the organization independent or does it bring every Afghan to Germany on behalf of the federal government, which contributes to the abolition of the country and its “dehomogenization”? The Ministry of the Interior does not comment on Steier’s statements, but writes succinctly: “Mission Lifeline currently meets the criteria as a reporting body for the federal admissions program for Afghanistan and, as Mission Lifeline itself has publicly announced, is active as a reporting body.”

The Federal Government determines the authorities authorized to register. The prerequisite, according to the website, “is that the agency has specific knowledge of the people who might be considered for admission or of the conditions in Afghanistan.”

Hijab is Mandatory!

In the following video, a fully-veiled woman speaking French gives advice to Muslim men about how to induce their wives to wear hijab. Because the speaker is all covered up except for her eyes, it’s hard to guess her ethnicity. My ear for French isn’t good enough to detect a foreign accent, so I can’t tell if she is a culture-enricher or a convert.

I must note that the young lady fails to mention that Islamic law gives a husband permission to beat his wife for not wearing hijab, if more gentle methods fail to persuade her.

Shanked on the Bus in Eupen

Actually, nobody got shanked — one of the culture-enrichers threatened his victims with a shank, and was thereby able to bend them to his will.

The following video is an appeal from the Belgian police for information on the two illustrious gentlemen who beat, threatened, and robbed people at a bus stop and on a bus. Watch the video and see if you can identify the ethnicity of the alleged perpetrators. I think it’s safe to say that at least one of them is a culture-enricher.

Life in Prison for the Botkyrka Murderers

A 12-year-old Swedish girl named Adriana was shot to death in the Stockholm suburb of Botkyrka when she was caught in the crossfire during a confrontation between culture-enriching gang-bangers. The news reports don’t discuss ethnicity, but it seems reasonable to assume that there was a turf war going on between rival gangs of different ethnicities — Albanians and Somalis, perhaps, or something similar.

I was surprised to hear that the murderers received life sentences. In Sweden the perpetrators of horrible crimes are usually sentenced to a two or three years, with early release for good behavior. Mind you, I don’t know what a “life” term means in Sweden, in practical terms — maybe they can expect to be released after five years or so.

The following news report discusses the verdict and sentencing. Many thanks to Gary Fouse for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

Below is the accompanying article from SVT (Swedish state television), also translated by Gary Fouse:

Three men were sentenced to life in prison for murder of 12-year-old Adriana

Three men have been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 12-year-old Adriana, who was shot to death at a gas station in Botkyrka in the summer of 2020. Södertörn district court announced the sentence.

One of the convicted men is the 31-year-old gang leader Maykill Yokhanna, who also has links to Västerås.

The three convicted men had planned to shoot several persons from a rival criminal gang, but instead, Adriana was hit with two shots and died. Three weapons, including one automatic weapon, were used in the shooting.

The evidence in the case consisted of a large number of different circumstances, each of which pointed to there being three men who shot Adriana. There were connections to the weapons and the car used, as well as motive and chats. In addition, the men’s so-called sky telephones (encrypted phones) were connected to the crime. The men’s subsequent actions are also important for the verdict, since they made sure the weapons and car were gotten rid of.

“This was a matter of an indiscriminate firing of automatic weapons in a location where several people were present, and one of them died. The punishment, therefore, cannot be anything other than life in prison,” says the president of the court, Chief Counselor Tore Gissen, in a press release.

Maykill Yokhanna is identified as the leader of a criminal network in south Stockholm. He was earlier convicted of an aggravated weapons offense, among others.

In January 2020, he was shot at as he sat in a car together with his wife and a friend in Kungens Kurva [King’s Curve]. The friend died and Maykill Yokhanna’s wife was wounded. The gang leader was the one the shooter was actually after.

The other two men who are now sentenced to life did not have the same power position and criminal records as the gang leader.

The three men have been convicted of murder and seven counts of attempted murder, among other things.

Defense: Will appeal

The verdict will be appealed to the appeals court, says Maykill Yokhanna’s defense council, Hampus Wikerstål. The prosecutor did not prove that Yokhanna was at the scene of the crime, and the verdict is based on a weak chain of circumstances, the lawyer says.

“I am greatly surprised there was a conviction, and we are going to appeal.”

Culture-Enriching Machetes on a School Bus

The following French-language video shows events that took place on a school bus on the island of Mayotte. Michael Copeland sends this introductory note about Mayotte:

Mayotte, off Madagascar, is part of the EU. It is a Departement of France. Predictably, it is a target destination for culture-enrichers, principally from the neighbouring Comoros Islands, who are unwilling to take back their citizens. A large shantytown of illegal migrants was about to be demolished in “Operation Wuambushu”, but this was suspended at the last minute by a Court Order.

There are videos on fdesouche.com (in French).

It was the EU that announced “Europe needs 50 million Africans”, to further their unstated goal of destroying European culture. Mayotte is the example.

The Muslim Brotherhood in France, Part 8

A French researcher is under death threats for publishing a paper on the Muslim Brotherhood in France. Below are excerpts from a relevant article in Charlie Hebdo. Many thanks to Gary Fouse for the translation:

Florence Bergeaud-Blackler, a researcher targeted by bearded men

by Jean-Loup Adenor
April 20, 2023

Since the appearance of her work “The Brotherhood and its Networks” on January 25, the CNRS researcher Florence Bergeaud-Blackler has been the target of a wave of death threats, putting her under police protection, a first in at least the last ten years, the research institutes informs us.

Police protection at Charlie, that we know. But at the National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS)? We will have to face that. One of their researchers, the anthropologist Florence Bergeaud-Blackler, has just been placed under protection per the request of the Protection Service (SDLP), the organization of the Interior Ministry charged with the protection of persons threatened with death.

No, Bergeaud-Blackler has not discovered a late vocation as a caricaturist. Her offense? Publishing a work, “The Brotherhood and its Networks, the Investigation”, in which she analyzes, dissects, and exposes the history of the Muslim Brotherhood — the Islamic organization that became international, founded by Hasan al-Banna in Egypt in 1928 — and its implantation in Europe.

“A scientific racism”

“I am developing a new definition of the Brotherhood,” she summarizes for Charlie Hebdo. An Islamism adapted to European societies, born in the 1960s on their soil, which bypasses the political to pass to the cultural and the economic in order to construct an Islamic society.” Since the appearance of her book, and more particularly, since a seminar in which she participated on March 10, along with Gilles Kepel, director of the Mediterranean Middle East Chair at the Superior Normal School, and who wrote the preface to her work, the researcher says she has been the target of numerous death threats. Threats that have justified her placement under police protection— a first in at least ten years at CNRS.

Since its release, “The Brotherhood and its Networks, the Investigation” has sparked a violent outcry. At the head of the pack is the Islamologist Francois Burgat, who does not hide his connections with Qatar, nor his admiration for Tariq Ramadan. This director of research emeritus at CNRS, president of the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, Paris (Carep), a Francophone lobby for the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies of Doha, immediately condemned the work with several big salvos from blog postings and vengeful tweets. According to Burgat, Bergeaud-Blackler’s thesis would fall under “scientific racism” and a “witchcraft trial”, and her work would be nothing more than a “rant in the delusional paradigm of the great replacement.” In short, “her thesis borrows from the most uninhibited anti-Semitism.”

FBB accused of being the new Drumont

Here we are: The work of Florence Bergeaud-Blackler on the Muslim Brotherhood is nothing more than racism, Islamophobia, and a new anti-Semitism. It is, in addition, exactly what the lawyer and militant Rafik Chekkat claims in a posting in the form of a review, published in the online journal Orient XXI (on whose editorial board sits Francois Burgat). “In reading ‘The Brotherhood and its Networks’, the reference to the anti-Semitic pamphlet by Edouard Drumont, Jewish France (1885) becomes disturbingly clear.” Jewish France, considered as the work of reference for anti-Semitic thought at the end of the 19th century and start of the 20th century, develops a very vehement racial anti-Semitism, feeding its obsessions of the Jewish deicide thesis, thus very much the enemy of French Christians.

An “Allahu Akhbar” Moment in Vicenza

Yesterday in the province of Vicenza in northern Italy a mentally ill culture-enricher from Morocco, presumably traumatized by having to live among infidels, went on a rampage and shot a police officer while shouting “Allahu Akhbar”. I know readers will be saddened to learn that the youngster did not survive the incident. He was shot dead by an officer of the Carabinieri, who is probably a WAYCIST.

Vicenza, Moroccan shoots and wounds an officer. Killed. “He was shouting ‘Allahu Akhbar’”

Weapon taken from a Carabiniero. Wounded officer has lung surgery.

April 24, 2023

Fear in Fara Vicentino, in the province of Vicenza. A Moroccan citizen was killed in a firefight with the Carabinieri after shooting at a local police officer, wounding him with the pistol taken from one of the two Carabinieri who arrived at the scene. It happened this morning. According to an initial reconstruction, the man, out of his mind, reportedly went into a rage in the street and managed to take the weapon from one of the two Carabinieri who intervened, firing at a police officer who arrived to help his colleagues: Reportedly, the other Carabiniero shot him dead at this point.

The non-EU citizen was walking barefoot in a confused state then allegedly went into a rage, shouting in the street. A Moroccan immigrant who was passing by reportedly heard him shouting insults in Arabic. According to what Corriere della Sera is reporting, the man allegedly also uttered the phrase “Allahu Akhbar”, God is greater. When the police intervened, the man reportedly took the service pistol from a Carabiniero, firing several rounds, two of which hit one of the local police. The Carabiniero who still possessed his weapon then shot and killed the suspect.

The 40-year-old local police officer involved in the shootout this morning was hit by two projectiles, one in the right foot and one in the left side which caused a lung to collapse. He was operated on at the Alto Vicentino Hospital of Santorso, a lung drainage was applied, and at this time a second lung CT scan is in progress. The prognosis is guarded, but should not be life-threatening.

Ilhan Omar’s Islamophobia Resolution: Bad Idea

The following report by Clare Lopez was published earlier this month by Sharia TipSheet.

Ilhan Omar’s Islamophobia Resolution: Bad Idea

by Clare M. Lopez

At a press conference held outside the U.S. Capitol on 23 March 2023, the first day of Ramadan, Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib, (D-MI) jointly introduced a bill they claim is intended to combat “Islamophobia”. The bill was co-sponsored by 20 Democrat Party members of the U.S. House of Representatives. In December 2021, Omar led an initiative in the House to pass a bill that would establish a special U.S. government envoy on “Islamophobia”, although the term is nowhere officially defined. To date, no “Islamophobia” envoy has yet been designated by the Biden administration, although Secretary of State Antony Blinken did issue a formal statement on 15 March 2023 in support of “International Day to Combat Islamophobia”.

H.Res.250 — 118th Congress (2023-2024) (track it here — no action as of this writing after it was introduced in the House)

Editor’s Note

As the Sharia TipSheet noted on 11/7/22, Islamophobia legislation is a bad idea, starting with the free speech problems it would create. Defining ‘Islamophobia’ was under consideration in Britain in 2022, but the government abandoned the attempt. B’nai Brith points out the problems with trying to define the term: B’nai Brith: “The group says the broad definition could lead to students or staff being punished for expressing dislike for the Republic of Iran’s persecution of LGBTQ people or restrictions placed on women in Saudi Arabia.” British government officials said defining the term would also hamper counterterrorism operations and stoke community tensions. Moreover, Islamophobia legislation criminalizes scholarship and public debate reaching to, among other things, university cultural studies, and political science, as well as criminal justice studies textbooks, discussions, research papers, theses, and dissertations. For example, see page 11, 38, and 93 of the text, The Criminal Investigator-Intelligence Analyst’s Handbook of Islam, for World View discussions that would run afoul of Islamophobia legislation.

Jew-Hatred Among Muslims in Germany

Last week I reported on a recent demonstration in Berlin by culture-enrichers who support “Palestine”. Among the features of the protest were shouts of “Death to the Jews” and similar tropes.

The following report from Deutsche Welle — a stalwart bastion of the German MSM — tiptoes gingerly around the shocking Jew-hating sentiments of “New Germans”. It acknowledges that such opinions exist, but hedges its coverage with exceptions, and attempts to minimize the overwhelming Jew-hatred that is characteristic of Islam. In addition, it takes a gratuitous swipe at the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany), saying that the Jew-hating attitudes of Muslim immigrants are basically the same as those of AfD members.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article:

Investigation: Anti-Semitism among Muslims in Germany

Are prejudices or hate against Jews among Muslims or people with a migration background more widespread? The research is often contradictory.

Holy Saturday in the middle of Berlin, a Palestinian demonstration with several hundred people. Members of the association Democ, which monitors anti-democratic movements, observed the demonstration march and later posted a video. According to Democ, “Death, death, death to Israel!” was chanted several times by participants. In addition, one man shouted, “Death to Jews!” from a loudspeaker van.

Twitter insert:

“Death to Jews! Death to Israel!” About 300 people demonstrated on April 8, 2023 in Berlin from Neukölln to Kreuzberg. The participants shouted anti-Semitic words and glorified terrorist violence.

Investigated by State Security, two planned pro-Palestinian demonstrations were banned shortly thereafter, and the Israeli ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, saw in the demonstrations, “every possible red line” being crossed. On Twitter, he wrote that the participants had abused freedoms in Germany and had called for the “destruction of Israel and Jews”. For Justice Minister Marco Buschmann, there is the initial suspicion of incitement to hate.

Twitter insert (Buschmann):

When groups chant, “Death to Jews” on German streets, then there is an initial suspicion of incitement to hate under section 130, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code. I am assuming that the responsible security authorities are accordingly taking action against this.

Research relatively thin

Such demonstrations are grist for the mill for those who believe that anti-Semitism is much more pronounced among Muslims than among people without a migration background and non-Muslims. But Sina Arnold of the Center for Anti-Semitism Research at the Technical University (TU) of Berlin says, “Depending on what kind of anti-Semitism you are looking at, people with a migration background and Muslims show a higher or lower anti-Semitic attitude than people without a migration background or non-Muslims.” Sweeping statements about anti-Semitism in the investigated groups cannot be made. She looked at and summarized the most important investigations on the topic for TU Berlin on behalf of the Media Integration Services.

Arnold is also project manager of the Research Institute of Social Cohesion and for years, has been investigating attitudes toward Judaism, the Holocaust, and the Middle East conflict. In that endeavor, she investigates the causes of the anti-Semitic attitudes of refugees and other newcomers. An almost new field, because the research on this highly explosive topic is up to now still relatively thin. On the other hand, there are countless scientific studies that show that anti-Semitism is a widespread phenomenon in German society in general.

Is Catholic Bavaria Surrendering to Islam?

The Greens in Bavaria are ready to make the imposition of sharia official: they want to include Islamic religious instruction in the state school curriculum.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the German-language service of the Epoch Times. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

Bavaria’s Greens also want “Islamic instruction” in the upper grades

Elective subject should also be part of the Abitur (Matric). Parliament must now deal with the application.

In future, “Islamic teaching” is to be included as a compulsory elective in the upper school timetable at schools in Bavaria. At least that is the wish of the Greens, who have submitted a corresponding application to the Bavarian state parliament.

It stipulates that the state government should also create the necessary framework conditions for teaching in high school and vocational upper levels. It should also be possible for students to take the Abitur in this subject. [Are they turning German schools into madrassas now?]

Part of regular classes since 2021

The Greens justify their initiative with the fact that the subject has finally been transferred to regular teaching in 2021 after “many years of pilot testing”. So far not in high school.

Even if no “equivalent, denomination-oriented religious instruction” has yet been established — analogous to Catholic or Protestant religious instruction — this subject contributes to Muslim pupils being able to develop “a reflected religious identity”.

The number of registrations made it clear that the subject was “very well received” in Bavaria’s schools. A request from the Greens shows that the number of registrations is increasing. [I wonder in which particular ghettos/neighbourhoods this is happening?]

Greens see disadvantage

It is therefore incomprehensible that the subject has not yet been taught in grades 11 to 13 of colleges and vocational high schools.

According to the Greens, students who “want to take Islamic classes in high school are disadvantaged compared to others who either take confession-oriented religious classes or regular ethics classes.” [I guess they don’t learn in those how to detonate an explosive vest.]
