UN acuses Germany of allowing racist comments
 A United Nations anti-racism committee has accused Germany of breaking an international agreement by allowing the controversial ex-politician Thilo Sarrazin to spread inflammatory ideas about Muslims with impunity.Four years after the former central banker triggered a public outcry with his book Deutschland schafft sich ab - Wie wir unser Land aufs Spiel setzen (Germany does away with itself - How we're putting our country at jeopardy), Sarrazin's opinions have been officially recognised as racist by the UN. The UN charges that Germany broke an international anti-racism accord by ignoring Sarrazin's anti-Turkish and anti-Muslim statements. At the time, many had defended Sarrazin's right to express his opinions. Posted by: ryuge 2013-04-20 |
