Minister of the Interior Friedrich seems to have a mission for his tenure: the crusade against Muslim none-integrable citizens of Germany. Already upon his taking over of the ministery almost exactly one year ago<\/a> he chanted that “Islam does not belong to Germany – historically seen”. At that time he replied to a comment by former Federal President Christian Wulff. He comment was aired on the anniversary of the German unity in 2010, when Wulff asserted that “Islam belongs to Germany meanwhile”. <\/p>\n Friedrich previously astonished people with commts such as the Internet should not remain lawless<\/a>” and recently with his recommendation for Greece to leave the Euro-Zone.<\/a><\/p>\n No doubt: Interior minister Hans-Peter Friedrich is a ‘particular case’. That he is supposingly at war with Islam already became obvious at last year’s Islam Conference<\/a>. According to an article published by Spiegel Online on March, 5th, 2011 Friedrich is quoted that two things are a prerequisite to a successful integration: “Successfull integration calls for two things: Knowledge of the societal reality in Germany – to which about four million Muslims are part of – and an explicit awareness of the christian-occidental heritage of our culture.”<\/a> How deeply rooted this christian-occidental cultural heritage really is within the German population and to what extent people are aware of it must be a very interesting empirical undertaking.<\/p>\n K\u00fcrzlich hat Friedrich ein neues Kapitel seiner Islamophobie aufgeschlagen. In einer von seinem Ministerium in Auftrag gegebenen Studie<\/a>, will er eine verst\u00e4rkte Radikalisierung unter jungen Muslimen festgestellt haben. “Stunde der Angstmacher<\/a>” titelte Spiegel Online folgerichtig nach Erscheinen des Papiers. Seit Donnerstag ist die Studie auf den Seiten des Bundesministerium des Inneren<\/a> online verf\u00fcgbar.<\/p>\n Gl\u00fccklicherweise gibt es gleich zahlreiche kritische Stimmen, auch aus politischen Kreisen.<\/a> Differenzierung ist also m\u00f6glich. Bleibt die Frage, was mit einer solchen Studie bzw. mit der Art, wie sie verkauft wird, gewonnen ist? “Den Islam zeitgem\u00e4\u00df interpretieren<\/a>“, wie das Goethe-Institut titelte, mag eine M\u00f6glichkeit zur Ann\u00e4hrung sein. Eine andere vielleicht, Mensch und Religion zu trennen: Egal ob Christ, Jude, Muslim oder Hindu. Zun\u00e4chst ist ein Mensch ein Mensch. Ein Mensch, dessen W\u00fcrde bekanntlich in unserem Land unantastbar ist.<\/p>\n Just recently, i.e. last week, Friedrich added another chapter to this Islamophobia. In a study on the authority of his ministry<\/a>, he claims to have found hints on the increased radicalization among young Muslims. “moment of the scare mongers<\/a>” Spiegel Online titled consequently after publication of the study. Since last thursday the study can be downloaded on the pages of the Federal Minstry of the Interior.<\/a><\/p>\n Fortunately there are several critical voices also from the political camp <\/a>. Differentiation seems to be possible. The question remains as to whether what is the benefit of such a paper? “To interpret Islam contemporarely<\/a>“, as the Goethe-Institut indexed by title may be a possibility towards rapprochement. Another one maybe to distinguish between person and religion: no matter whether Christian, Jew, Muslim or Hindu. In the first instance a person is a person. A person whose dignity is generally known as untouchable in our country.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Minister of the Interior Friedrich seems to have a mission for his tenure: the crusade against Muslim none-integrable citizens of Germany.
