Germany

Germany is no longer a nation, it is a condominium and the rest of Europe is following its lead. We haven’t seen anything yet.

Shortly after playing time for the German football championship match between Augsburg and Mainz, the referee, Matthias Jollenbeck, stopped the match to allow Muslim footballer Moussa Niakhaté to break his fast for Ramadan and quench his thirst at sunset. For the first time, a Bundesliga match was stopped for this reason. But the initiative was welcomed by the German Football Association and will not be the last.

Europe is changing so rapidly that we haven’t even noticed it. From concession to concession, we have capitulated on everything.

Let’s stay with Germany, which for me is no longer even a nation, but a condominium.

Germany as a prototype:Christian symbols disappear as Europeans discard them, but there is no vacuum. Islam takes their place.

Cologne Cathedral, known as the “German Rome”, is the landmark of the city and has been declared a World Heritage Site since 1996. It is one of the most visited places in Germany and one of the most important in Christianity (it was visited by Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI). The first stone of the cathedral was laid in 1248. On old black and white photos you can see how the towers of the cathedral protrude from the rubble of the historic center completely destroyed during the Second World War.

Now the city of Cologne is deleting the iconic cathedral from its new logo. “My 92-year-old mother is stunned, my 11-year-old son is crying and my friend in London doesn’t understand it,” writes sculptor and painter Cornel Wachter.

There are no taboos in modern Germany, except for critcizing Islam – which gets you fired, cancelled or worse.

What has emerged in recent days from the Goethe University of Frankfurt shows us that Europe is no longer a real democracy, but an ideological oligarchy. The newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung tells us that Professor Susanne Schröter, director of the Frankfurt Research Center and professor at the Institute of Ethnology, reported that a young researcher’s political stance on Islam now plays an important role in his future career. If he speaks well of Islam, he will make a career, otherwise he will not.

Schröter 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.

BERLIN (AP) — German prosecutors said Monday they now believe that the suspect in a knife attack on a train in November that left four people wounded had an Islamic extremist motive.

The attack took place on an ICE high-speed train traveling from Passau, on the Austrian border, to Hamburg on Nov. 6. Authorities said that the man attacked his victims apparently at random and showed signs of mental illness, but initially said there was no immediate indication of a terror motive.

Munich prosecutors said a few weeks later that they were no longer ruling out an Islamic extremist motive.

The German government has revealed there are about 1,950 potentially violent Islamist extremists in the country.

These people were assessed by the Interior Ministry as both extreme in their beliefs and either known to be violent or showing a willingness to commit violent acts.

They were the most dangerous of the roughly 29,000 people believed to have Islamist extremist tendencies in Germany, who in turn are a minority of the approximately 5.5 million Muslims in the country.
