UN acuses Germany of allowing racist comments
2013-04-20
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.

#3  ISLAM in its existing definition has no place in Europe or America. Until Muslims cease their mission to introduce further Islamic conditions upon us then Muslims shall be deemed fully accountable. It is NOT ROCKET SCIENCE

#2  The Turkish Association Berlin-Brandenburg, which brought the case to the UN committee

To protest properly, perhaps the Association should encourage all Turks to begin the long volksmarsch home ?

I'm so jealous.
