German police were busy today raiding mosques and homes while rounding up Muslim extremists. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=518&e=5&u=/ap/20050112/ap_on_re_eu/germany_islamic_extremists

The question isn't if they should have done the raids or not, but what took them so long. What country will be next and what will they find?

Well, Poland as usual. The German police will raid Poland next and will find poles. Illegal poles... a meter and a half too tall.

Germany has (for obvious reasons) very strict laws on things like propaganda. The right of free speech and expression of mind has well-placed limitations in Germany. Any propaganda that furthers hate and goes against the principles on which Germany as a free and open society is built, is illegal. The Germans have indeed learnt their lesson from history.

I wonder if their law applies to christian fundamentalists, too.

I can see how publishing something urging people to go blow things up might be illegal, but I wonder, where do you draw the line?
Ankher
13-01-2005, 13:05
The line is where the freedoms that the constitution defines are violated by religious or political ideologies. E.g. when in the south of Germany members of a religious sect refused to send their kids to school the police forced them to, because the state does not allow parents to withhold access to diverse perceptions of the world from their children. And the Constitutional Court also ruled that crucifixes in school rooms have to be taken down if at least one of the pupils is offended by the image of a naked body on a cross (the symbolism of which younger kids would not be able to comprehend).
Kanabia
13-01-2005, 13:13
Well, I hardly think the German government is one of the most dictatorial regimes out there anyway...if these people were planning to stage an attack, then the police are in the right.

"The Islamic Information Center in Ulm was among the sites that were searched. A reporter who went there Wednesday afternoon found the place closed and dark, with a sticker on the door saying "Islam is peace."

Nearly 60 buildings in all were searched Wednesday, including apartments, mosques and call centers, Baden-Wuerttemberg Interior Minister Heribert Rech said."

Though this part is a little strange, especially considering they only detained 22 people.

The so called "death camps" are nothing but propagandi lies, please do not spread them. There was no such thing as death camps in nazi germany. There was only work camps off course people died there but that was not there purpose, they were only work camps. The main causes of death in such camps was common diseases of the time like influenza.

Yes of course. Those 6 million Jews plus Gypsies, Socialists, Communists, Disabled, elderly really did go and live in the east and were so happy they were never seen or heard of again because of the infinite happiness.

The main causes of deaths in the camps was the persecution inflicted. Firing squads, deliberate starvation, the gassing.

The SS Guards would try to starve off the boredom of commiting genocide on a day by day basis by placing bets on what colours the bodies of the victims would be after the gas showers.

Blue? Black? Red? Purple? Orange?

My what fun they had with those games.

Then after a day of genocide, they would go to sleep, dream soundlessly, then wake up in the morning, and play a game called 'Goose'

This involved having a prisoner in a space surrounded by SS Guards. They would make the prisoner goosestep in accordance with how a proud Nazi would do it.

If he did not goosestep correctly, why, fun would ensue! The setting of Alsatian dogs on the prisoner was a joy to behold, seeing him ripped apart limb from limb.

And let's not forget the game of 'run' where prisoners were forced to run up flights of stairs to the top and at each floor they reached, a friendly German SS Guard would be waiting with a lovely hard truncheon to hit the prisoner with, you know, to give a bit of friendly encouragement.

Yes, those skinny people you saw in the concentration camps, they were not really starved to death by those SS Guards. Oh no! No, they were on The Atkins Diet.

And those bloated, ripe bodies, that were poisoned from gas, why, it is sheer folly to believe anything else apart from the fact that they all died of the flu was it not.

Seriously. Learn. Educate yourself. You come across as one of these people who deny the holocaust ever happened, and that the Nazis were really good and lovely chaps, and that Mr Hitler was a cuddly chap one could leave one's kids with.

Visit Auchwitz. Visit the surviving victims.

Death was the order of the day. Denial is apparently yours.

Even if we are to believe the opinion that they were not "death camps", the fact that Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, political prisoners, and the mentally and physically disabled were used as slave labor and left to die of commonly treatable and preventable diseases is pretty monstrous.

Your claim also refutes the physical evidence in the form of crematoria, mass graves, the existence of human-skin lampshades and soap rendered from human bodies, as well as the the many hours of questioning at Nuremberg and very detailed notes left behind of the experiments performed on the unfortunate denizens of such camps.

You can't argue with holocaust deniers, they have made a decision and are running around looking for 'evidence' to back it up.

They are greatly aided by the fact that the other side does the same thing...but no rational person will excuse the Nazis because they killed slightly less people than we thought, or because some prisoners were starved/worked to death rather than being gassed.

Why so many people hate religions? I can understand if some people don't like Christianity because of The Bible (which is only a book, it has mistakes), but what is wrong in believing something divine? I believe there is a God. God of Islam? God of Christianity? Buddha? I don't know, but I think there's got to be a Creator and Lord of some kind. Believe what you want, it should not harm you.

Organized religion with perhaps a limited number of exceptions (B'hai comes to mind) are divisive due to their claims to exclusive possesion of divine truth. If you beleive you have the truth and everyone else is mistaken you tend to look down on them at best, and persecute them as heretics at worst. Religion is just one more source of conflict that we don't need. It gives us no tangible benefits, only holds us back.

The reason why the german authorities act like that is exactly because they do not want to repeat the mistakes made in the Weimar Republic (the democratic era between the world wars), in which the Nazis could openly broadcast their message of hate.

Americans often make the mistake to think that "Free Speech" means that everybody can say what he wants, but Germany has decided that nobody may abuse their right of Free Speech to fight against democracy, other religious/ethnic groups (and thus the german basic law). That's the way it should be.

In an open and free society the well-being of all can only be secured when those WHO GO TO FAR can be kept under control. The freedom of expression of a person ends where the realization of ideas expressed thus would violate the freedom of others. E.g. it is severely punishable if a person or group would in their propaganda call for the bashing of members of minorities or if their propaganda would call for the use of violence in the pursuit of their respective religious or political aims.

Also in Germany, it is also illegal to own Hitler's Mein Kampf. I take it this Germany's attempt to prevent what happened in the Netherlands.

It's good though that everyone's finally realizing that Islamic terrorists hate you no matter how much you do for them and their goal is to destroy or subjugate all nonMuslims especially Jews and Americans.

It's sad though that Europe actively supports the Palestinian causes, compares Bush to Hitler, and punishes Israel any chance it gets when anyone who has extensively studied WWII-era Middle Eastern politics will find that the Arabs were even nationalist than they are now and were very closely allied with Hitler, hence Bat Ye'or's term for Islamic terrorists, "Islamofascists". By the way, you guys should check out his new book called Eurabia.

Drunk commies, I just want to clarify one thing about the Baha'i Faith. It is true that there are no clerics in the Baha'i Faith--maybe that is why the Muslim Mullah's persecuted them so much. But there is organization, and yes; it fairly decentralized. Each Baha'i community elects nine members, without any electioneering of any kind, and no nominations for the office, from the community to handle the needs and affairs of the community. It works wonderfully; and this happens in large communities such as New York City and small villages in India, Mongolia.

Ah the myth of the holocaust how long are the lies that it happened going to milked used and abused by certain groups of people.

I have personally been on trips to auschwitz and birkenau. They are nothing special really. You have alot of emotive propaganda in those places to try and make people feel bad, but they lack hard substancial evidense.

Its strange the study of History is about questioning the past, yet you are not allowed to question the holocaust. Why is that? Are people worried about the actual truth coming out if proper scientific studies are carried out. If you visist auschwitz, they show you rooms that were supposedly gas chambers when infact they were not, auschwitz has no such things. That is just one of the many lies about the holocaust that has been told for years. Link1 (http://www.geniebusters.org/915/04g_gas.html) , Link2 (http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v15/v15n1p23_Weber.html).

Ah the myth of the holocaust how long are the lies that it happened going to milked used and abused by certain groups of people.

I have personally been on trips to auschwitz and birkenau. They are nothing special really. You have alot of emotive propaganda in those places to try and make people feel bad, but they lack hard substancial evidense.

Its strange the study of History is about questioning the past, yet you are not allowed to question the holocaust. Why is that? Are people worried about the actual truth coming out if proper scientific studies are carried out. If you visist auschwitz, they show you rooms that were supposedly gas chambers when infact they were not, auschwitz has no such things. That is just one of the many lies about the holocaust that has been told for years. Link1 (http://www.geniebusters.org/915/04g_gas.html) , Link2 (http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v15/v15n1p23_Weber.html).

So I suppose my great uncle, who liberated one of the camps and found the piles of corpses is a liar? I guess the people who boasted they were only killing jews were making it up in order to get executed for war crimes, too? And all the documents concerning the killings, especially the onces on the progress and improvements of the gas are hoaxes as well? I guess General Eisenhower, who ordered all of his senior officers to tour the camps and see for themselves what had happened just faked it all on a moments notice?

Please. It happened. There are some folks who would like to claim it never did, but they are fools who would likely try to do it themselves if they could. Also, please note:

Not one person ever tried for war crimes in these camps ever denied these things happened. You'd think that would be your first defense, no?

History is written by the winners not by the losers. If it was productive too spread lies about such camps as it was it would easily be done. Lying to your own people as well as the enemy is a major part of warfare.

Also in Germany, it is also illegal to own Hitler's Mein Kampf. I take it this Germany's attempt to prevent what happened in the Netherlands.
It's good though that everyone's finally realizing that Islamic terrorists hate you no matter how much you do for them and their goal is to destroy or subjugate all nonMuslims especially Jews and Americans.
It's sad though that Europe actively supports the Palestinian causes, compares Bush to Hitler, and punishes Israel any chance it gets when anyone who has extensively studied WWII-era Middle Eastern politics will find that the Arabs were even nationalist than they are now and were very closely allied with Hitler, hence Bat Ye'or's term for Islamic terrorists, "Islamofascists". By the way, you guys should check out his new book called Eurabia.
Note the new PA leader, Abu Mazen/Mahmoud Abbas is a Holocaust denier. Therefore any thoughtful person would oppose this man.
And one who has extensively studied WWI-era Middle Eastern politics will find that the Arabs were comletely right in doing so. And European support for Palestinians is completely justified. Without the implanted state of Israel there would simply be no Middle-East-Conflict. And if the Jews had integrated better in the countries they chose to live in, instead of creating parallel societies due to their isolationist ideologies, there would be no need for a Jewish state. And there is no need to argue any differently, since we have all read the Bible and know how stupidly aggressive the original followers of (the Israelite version of) Yah are and what their attitude towards all others is. One need not wonder that the metastases (like Christianity and Islam) of this ideological cancer called Judaism are no less hateful towards all that is different from their own views. That's one thing.
The other thing is about what Germany and other European countries do. They protect their societies and the civil liberties they want for their population. A state has every right to illegalize harmful ideologies and prevent propaganda for such ideologies from spreading. We see governments taking action against islamistic groups all over Europe, and this has nothing to do with not giving the right of free speech to all.

Actually, the Germans had it quite good for food up until about '44, when the Soviets really started pressing in.

But of course, as you would probably say, the concentration camps were actually Atkins Diet Fitness centres, and the people there all dropped dead from the flu. Never mind the bullet riddled bodies, young and old. Never mind the blackened and bloated bodies from gas poisoning. No. We don't know how they got there.....they just turned up one day. No, you see...... everybody died from the flu.......apparently.

None of this gas poisoning nonsense!

None of this ex-ter-min-nation!

And the final solution! Ha! What was that all about eh? How to kill 6 million people in the quickest manner? No! What they were really talking about was the final solution to a crossword!

Keeping people in camps, feeding them, giving them medical care is the the quickest manner to kill them. The quickest manner to kill someone would be to shoot them on the spot when they are found. Quickest and easiest. That is getting real.

Interesting side point, People often talk about how the "holocaust" killed 6 million jews. Yet historical records from the the time show that even before the war started there was much less than that figure actually around.

And people talk about such things as the german final solution, they completely ignore the Nazi plans of turning Madagascar into a jewish state and homeland for the jews. Some final solution that is.

I suppose that you're unfamiliar with the Wannsee Conference, and the drawing up of the plans for the Final Solution.

Yes, they had other ideas at first. But they grew angry and impatient.

They kept meticulous records of the people they killed using the gas. They had to know if they were meeting the quotas.

Drunk commies, I just want to clarify one thing about the Baha'i Faith. It is true that there are no clerics in the Baha'i Faith--maybe that is why the Muslim Mullah's persecuted them so much. But there is organization, and yes; it fairly decentralized. Each Baha'i community elects nine members, without any electioneering of any kind, and no nominations for the office, from the community to handle the needs and affairs of the community. It works wonderfully; and this happens in large communities such as New York City and small villages in India, Mongolia.
If I keep insisting that there's no centralized organization would you get angry and hate me?

German law forbids the publication of anything deemed likely to incite any real degree of racial, ethnic, or religious hatred or violence.


It's basically a state where political correctness is written into law.


They take it so seriously you can't publicly speak out against Israel unless you want to be branded an anti-semite and face fines or worse.


You can't even sing Das Lied der Deutschen, their old anthem from the 19th century, "Germany, Germany, above all others" because it says "above all others" and Nationalism suddenly is bad.



The song is also known as, Deutschland über alles.

The quickest manner, according to the Nazis, to kill people in concentration camps was not via the bullet.

To the Nazis and their thinking, it was a waste of bullets and infantry in a time of war, so they devised the gassing chambers.

By medical care, I assume you mean the experiments carried out by SS Doctors of sewing the skins of people together so they became one, or the other experiments carried out.

Yes that was medical 'care' alright.

The figure of 6 million jewish people can be disputed, not as a denial of the holocaust but that the 6 million figure also consists of the disabled, communists, socialists, christians, catholics, gypsies.

I can't really see how you think shipping Jewish people to Madagascar is acceptable, it's another example of Nazi Xenophobism, but that aside, they were not shipped to Madagascar, they were slaughtered. That was the Nazi Final Solution.

Oh and by the way, I would appreciate it that when you do quote me in future, you do not cut large parts of my quote out so that the remainder appears to fit in with your view on the subject.

For example, you quoted me as saying this:

"And the final solution! Ha! What was that all about eh? How to kill 6 million people in the quickest manner?
Get with the real world."


IN FACT I said the following:

"And the final solution! Ha! What was that all about eh? How to kill 6 million people in the quickest manner? No! What they were really talking about was the final solution to a crossword!
Get with the real world."


You cut out my sarcasm which showed that I ridiculed the denial of the final solution, to make it appear in accordance with your view.

Feel free to keep doing this misquoting if you want, but I'll just think of you as even more as a Goebels who keeps his Mein Kampf under his pillow.

It's still the national anthem of Germany. You just can't sing certain verses or lines.

I was asleep at the time (had the day off), and the music woke me right up.

I wonder if their law applies to christian fundamentalists, too.

Of course they do. The giv actually cracked down on scientology pretty hard about 10 years ago or on some small, but extremley militant "Christian Aryan Army" group.

I can see how publishing something urging people to go blow things up might be illegal, but I wonder, where do you draw the line?

You draw the line exactly there: If it urges violence against others, you get the boot. That simple.

German law forbids the publication of anything deemed likely to incite any real degree of racial, ethnic, or religious hatred or violence.

Now this is funny. Last time I spoke ut against Israel in some forum online (I said something like "blowing up that 70 year old turd in that wheelchair surely will help Israel convince the Palis of their good intentions) I was immediatley branded as a ravaging anti-semite, followed by a "not suprisingly, because your German" by some folks from the US. Now that really cracked me up. On the other hand we´re ridiculized for a "we won´t comment anything negative on Israel", but if we dare to critize a little everyone points at us again and shouts "Nazi! You´re a fucking nazi! You son of a bitch!".

It´s a difficult historical heritage to live with.

Back to topic. Those Islamists who got cracked down upon had it coming for quite a while. The "Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz" and it´s Landesämter had been itching for this for a long time. We got some very serious issues with a number of increasingly militant Islamists over here. That and people who aid them or use our country to fund and organize their actions around the globe.

Better crack down on them now, before something bad happens.

That´s neither fascist, authoritarian or discriminatory, as some people here suggested. It´s plan necessary.

And BTW, owning a copy of "Mein Kampf" ain´t illegal. You just may not try to sell it OR display it in public.

Well, the political viewpoint of Germans seemed to be tied to their age (last time I was in Germany in the 1990s). Go old enough, and you could get them to hold that right arm out involuntarily (just salute that was from a military vehicle at some old women and see what happens).

Go young enough, and they don't even seem to be from the same country, let alone the same parents. Germany seems to have undergone a substantial transformation from a political viewpoint.

Yes, I started this. Yes, I agree "that way to many people...have no clue about Germany AND Germany's history." You are a very proud people and have every right to show pride in what your country has accomplished. Many other countries have their "bad points in history” but are not willing to admit them.
