Germany belongs to Islam: CDU buckles
The CDU has once again managed to follow the example of its chairman Friedrich Merz and immediately cave in to any criticism from the Left. The new basic program from December initially said: “Muslims who share our values belong to Germany,” said the CDU’s draft program. This was actually a clear sentence, with a clear offer to Muslims that they are welcome if they follow the values of the country to which they came voluntarily. But of course it didn’t take long before the usual outrage from left-wing politicians, media and Islam lobbyists began. SPD leader Lars Klingbeil rambled on about the rhetorical exclusion of an entire population group, while Aiman Mazyek, the chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, accused the CDU of using the formulation to fish for the right-wing fringe of voters.
Over the weekend, the CDU weakened the sentence and reworded it in a complicated manner. “Muslims are part of the religious diversity of Germany and our society,” it now says. It was also added: “An Islam that does not share our values and rejects our free society does not belong to Germany.” But of course that wasn’t enough for Mazyek and Co., either. The new version is also “another attempt by the Christian Democratic Union to fish in murky waters in order to stigmatize Muslims.” [Nobody needs to stigmatize Muslims; they are perfectly capable of doing that themselves and show it DAILY, especially contempt for anyone outside Islam.] For him, “if at all,” only a formulation that addresses all worldviews and religious communities, rather than just to single out a specific one and mark it negatively”. SPD parliamentary group deputy Dirk Wiese explained that the program was “not a program for the future, but a journey into dusty yesterday.” In these “challenging times” “cohesion and mutual respect are needed more than ever”. But the Union is doing the opposite and “consciously pushing for a policy of prejudice”.
No prejudices, just unbiased bloody experiences
The fact that reservations about Islam are by no means prejudices, but rather the results of decades and even centuries of experience with Islam’s claim to total dominance and its ongoing intolerance, willingness to use violence and refusal to integrate, is naturally not communicable to the historically and culturally illiterate leftists. They would rather continue to wallow in their multi-cultural dream dance and hope for Muslim votes that they have long since lost forever among the local population. Even left-wing media, which are forcibly financed by the general public, such as Radio Bremen, which is part of the ARD, make fun of letting young Muslim women loose on passers-by to ask them whether Germans in Germany speak German, whether they are Christians, because they look German or whether they distance themselves from the — allegedly — right-wing attack in Hanau. A young woman actually declared: “As a German, I distance myself from German violence.” This shows how far left-wing indoctrination has already progressed, especially among young people. The Union simply cannot manage to finally take a clear stance and express people’s concerns.
According to a current INSA survey, 55% of Germans and even 21% of Muslims (!) fear the Islamization of Europe. However, the Union allows itself to be driven by leftists and figures like Mazyek and can only bring itself to use waxy, completely meaningless formulations regarding Islam. Thorsten Frei, the parliamentary secretary, claimed that the changes were “certainly not a stigma, but a clarification”. One is “not prepared to accept every form of Islam”. That’s why “a clear announcement is necessary here”. However, it remains to be seen exactly. The Union has nothing to offer apart from airy talk of a “leading culture” that “everyone who wants to live here must recognize without any ifs and buts”. They do not explain what exactly is meant by this dominant culture and what its cultural foundations are. [I rather doubt that they even know their own culture, these puppeticians are so far removed from reality that one can no longer blame their ideological retardation which made it possible for Islam to plant a beachhead again.]
