Month: May 2024

Illegal immigration into Germany reached a five-year high in the first quarter of 2024, the latest government figures show.

The federal government admitted its failure to combat the ongoing migration crisis in its written response to a question by AfD lawmaker Martin Hess, as seen by German news outlet Junge Freiheit.

It revealed that up to April 1, a total of 20,000 illegal border crossings into Germany were registered by federal police, up 2 percent for the same period last year.

In March, the last month for which figures are available, a significant increase in illegal migrant activity was recorded at the German-Polish border where the largest number of illegal border crossings took place.

A total of 1,646 irregular crossings were detected from Poland into Germany for March, up from 911 cases in the previous month. Illegal crossings from Czechia also rose from 509 to 644. In total, 7,079 cases of illegal border activity were recorded in March, up from 5,993 in February.

The figures are contrary to remarks made by Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser last month who told the regional Funke Mediengruppe newspaper that the government’s crackdown on illegal immigration was a success.

“Because of our border controls, we have arrested 708 suspected smugglers and stopped 17,600 migrants crossing the border illegally since October,” Faeser told the news group.

“Those who do not need our protection cannot come to Germany, or should be asked to leave Germany even more quickly,” she added.

The figures were only published following a request by Martin Hess, an MP for the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

Commenting on the government’s revelation in a social media post on Tuesday, Hess wrote, “While Nancy Faeser is selling the border controls as a success in the media, the figures show that the situation is still not under control. Illegal entries have also increased compared to the same period last year.”

The conservative lawmaker claimed that border officials were lacking “an essential tool for combating illegal migration on the ground” and called for federal police officers to “finally be given the opportunity to turn back illegal immigrants at the borders.”

He demanded urgent fundamental change in Germany’s migration policy and accused the left-liberal coalition government in Berlin of having “no interest in using all available means to combat mass immigration.”

“Instead, she [Faeser] wants to appease the public with symbolic politics. This is pure election campaign tactics. The upper limit for illegal immigrants must be zero. And for this to happen, a paradigm shift in migration policy is essential.”

The Supreme Court of India issued notifications to the Kerala State and Union governments on Monday (April 29th) while hearing a writ suit seeking a ruling that a person born a Muslim but ceased to be a believer is not subject to Shariat law. After lengthy arguments, the bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justices JB Pardiwala, and Manoj Misra issued notices on the plea, describing it as an “important issue.”

As reported earlier, the bench requested that the Attorney General of India appoint a legal officer to assist the Court. The next hearing on this matter will take place during the second week of July 2024.

The writ case was filed by Safiya PM, a Kerala-based woman who serves as the general secretary of an organization of Kerala ex-Muslims. In her letter, Safiya proposes a “declaration that persons who do not want to be regulated by the Muslim Personal Law must have the right to be governed by the secular law of the country, viz, the Indian Succession Act, 1925 both in the case of intestate and testamentary succession”.

Initially, the bench was hesitant to hear the petition, citing the rationale that a non-believer would not be subject to the Shariat Act. Responding to the petitioner’s counsel Advocate Prashant Padmanabhan, CJI Chandrachud said, “The moment you are born as Muslim you are governed by the personal law. Your rights or entitlement are not governed by being a believer or non-believer.” 

The court further questioned how the Court could issue a statement stating that personal law does not apply to a person under Article 32 of the Constitution when the petitioner had not challenged any statutory provision.

During the arguments, the CJI emphasized the requirements of Section 3 of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act of 1937. He stated that a person will not be controlled by the Act until they clearly declare so under this clause.

“You don’t have to seek that declaration. Because Section 3 of the Shariat Act says that unless you make a declaration, you will not be governed by the provisions of the personal law in the matter of wills, adoptions, and legacies. So if you don’t make a declaration, your father doesn’t make a declaration, they are not governed by the personal law,” the CJI noted.

However, the court recognized an issue because Section 58 of the Indian Succession Act expressly states that the Succession Act does not apply to Muslims. Nonetheless, the bench observed that the petitioner did not contest Section 58 of the Indian Succession Act.

Highlighting the existence of a legal void in such instances, CJI D Y Chandrachud declared, “There is an issue. Because if there is no proclamation, it is still void because secular law does not apply. When we first started reading it, we wondered what type of petition this is. This is a crucial point. We will issue a notice.”

While the court has decided to hear the petition filed by the ex-Muslim woman it is important to learn why the matter is being pressed so much to be heard and what the Muslim law says about the ex-Muslims.

How does Islamic law treat ex-Muslims?

As per the Islamic law, when a Muslim-born individual becomes a disbeliever of the religion, it is referred to as apostasy in Islam. Apostasy is identified when any Muslim individual declares a clear statement showing disbelief in Islam if he/she does something that implies disbelief in the religion.

Apostasy can be categorized into four types: apostasy in beliefs, words, actions, and omission. Beliefs include associating others with Allah, denying his existence, insulting Allah or the Messenger, disrespecting the Quran, prostrating idols, or not following Islam. Omissions, such as not following Islamic rituals also signify disbelief.

As per Islamic law, any individual who is a Muslim but is found showing disbelief in Islam is to be executed. The evidence of this punishment lies in the Al-Bukhari hadith in which the Prophet says, “Whoever changes his religion, execute him.” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 2794).

“It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim who bears witness that there is no god except Allah and that I am His Messenger, except in one of three cases: a soul for a soul (murder); a married man who commits adultery; and one who leaves his religion and splits from the jama’ah (main group of Muslims,” the Prophet says. (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 6878; Muslim, 1676)

However, as per the plea filed by the ex-Muslim woman in the given case, the person who leaves his/her faith in Islam, will be ousted from her community and thereafter she is not entitled to any inheritance right in her parental property. 

The petitioner sought a declaration that she would not be governed by Muslim Personal Law for any of the matters listed in Sections 2 or 3 of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937, but as per the reports, there is no provision in the Act or the Rules for her to obtain such a certificate.

The petitioner meanwhile also claimed that her valuable fundamental rights under Article 25 would be rendered useless by the lack of such protection from the state. The court has termed the issue as important and has said that notice will be issued in the given case.

Conclusion

The case is expected to have wider ramifications. At a time when a lot of present-generation Muslims are renouncing their faith, and the union government is keen to bring a Uniform Civil Code, the SC has taken up a controversial issue that may have wide-scale implications and may face vehement opposition from fundamentalist Muslim organisations. As seen in other cases of civil rights, like the Shah Bano case and Triple Talaq laws, the male-dominated fundamentalist Muslim lobby does not like to cede an inch when it comes to Muslim Personal Laws.

Many Muslim leaders and organisations, even so-called ‘progressive’ politicians have declared that they will not allow the Uniform Civil Code and will bat for the continuation of Muslim Personal Laws in India.

Austria’s interior ministry has rejected a widely shared report on missing migrant children in Europe.

Speaking to Brussels Signal, a spokesperson for the ministry rejected the findings of the “Lost in Europe” collective, which claimed that around 47 children have vanished every day in Europe over the past three years.

In a report published on April 30, the group claimed that more than 50,000 unaccompanied child migrants have gone missing after arriving in Europe between 2021 and 2023.

Lost in Europe pointed to Italy and Austria as being particular black spots, with Austria said to have lost over 20,000 children.

Asked by Brussels Signal about the report, the Austrian interior ministry said it had “major concerns”, accusing it of lacking “alignment with reality”.

“While [the report] acknowledges the significant migration cluster in Central Europe due to the Balkan Route, it fails to consider crucial aspects that shape Austria’s unique circumstances as well as the complexity of the overall topic,” the ministry said.

“The piece overlooks the varying approaches and procedures among European countries, as well as the existence of undocumented cases, which seriously undermines the reliability of the data presented.”

The ministry also rejected suggestions that they had not properly kept track of vulnerable migrant children, adding that many of those recorded by the organisation as being minors likely were not children at all.

They went on to blast claims that many of these alleged children were victims of criminal and sex trafficking as being without evidence.

“The article’s narrative depicting minors as ‘untraceable’ and victims of criminal organisations lacks alignment with reality and expertise.”

It told Brussels Signal that “a significant number of refugees claiming to be minors and unaccompanied provide false information”.

“Medical tests often reveal discrepancies, with more than half of those tested proving to be older than stated,” it said.

“Individuals may falsify their age to gain advantages within Austria’s welfare system and in legal proceedings, ie criminal court.”

Another important element, according to the ministry, was that many refugees arriving in Austria mistakenly assumed they were in Germany and moved on once they realised that, which contributed to the perception of missing persons, including unaccompanied minors.

“Refugees in Austria have the freedom to move within the country, in adherence to human rights principles, making it difficult for authorities to control secondary migration to other EU countries.”

The ministry noted that many of the minors leaving Austria did not simply disappear but resurfaced elsewhere within the EU, or the UK, where they are then subsequently registered.

It further highlighted: “According to our specialised investigation teams at the Criminal Intelligence Service [Bundeskriminalamt], there hasn’t been a single reported case of a missing unaccompanied minor refugee falling victim to a criminal network such as human trafficking.”

In a scathing conclusion, the Austrian interior ministry said “the complexity of the situation” highlighted the “need for a nuanced understanding” of the issue not present in the report.

“Any assertions or theories based solely on surface-level statistics risk oversimplification and may not accurately reflect the multi-faceted reality.”

In the original report, Lost in Europe admitted that its numbers painted only a partial picture, as the data sets are often “inconsistent and incomplete”, adding that “many countries in Europe do not even collect data on missing unaccompanied minors”.

It said it had asked for relevant information from all European Union countries, plus Moldova, Norway, the UK and Switzerland but only received a response from 20 nations, with just 13 providing actual data.

In addition, the authors added, individuals are sometimes counted several times based on reported disappearances.

Lost in Europe also pointed out that not all minors undergo age testing, and that many reception centres allow residents to move freely.

This gives certain migrants the opportunity to “disappear” if they so wish, an attractive option if they wish to claim asylum in another country.

According to Aagje Ieven, secretary-general of the NGO Missing Children Europe, youngsters are at greater risk from human smugglers and criminals.

“They are at a higher risk of being targeted by traffickers, if not already exploited by smugglers to pay off debts, or because they [traffickers] hold control over their loved ones or their passports,” Ieven told CNN.

“These risks are exacerbated by factors such as poor reception conditions, inefficient and slow family reunification procedures, fear of detention or deportation, mistrust and frustration with asylum procedures.”

Lost in Europe claims there are fears that some of the minors may have been trafficked or ended up in the sex industry. Other minors disappear voluntarily because they do not trust the government or to avoid reception conditions of the countries they are staying in, the journalists said.

The data found by Lost in Europe indicated a significant increase in the numbers of unaccompanied minors across Europe — between 2018 and 2020 “only” 18,000 missing minors had been reported in total, it said.

The largest group of unaccompanied adolescents classed as disappeared in Europe were from Afghanistan. Of the total 51,433 cases reported, at least 19,250 were Afghanis.

Other often-recurring countries of origin are Syria, Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco.

European Commissioner Ylva Johansson, responsible for migration in the EU, told the Dutch NRC newspaper the issue of missing minors was the result of “a broken migration system” and “an increase in ‘secondary movements’”.

Secondary movements are when asylum seekers are registered in one Member State but move on to other EU countries.

Johansson insisted that the new Migration Pact, approved on April 10, will change the situation and increase refugee protections.

Patricia Durr, chief executive of ECPAT UK, a children’s rights organisation, disagreed, saying she believed the Migration Pact would have a detrimental impact.

“Measures such as including children within detention for screening purposes is a clear breach of their rights under international law and will increase their vulnerability to going missing, abuse and trafficking,” she claimed.

A trans-identified male is set to compete in a national women’s water polo championship this weekend, shortly after becoming a women’s chess champion in Michigan. Alicia, formerly Johnny, Paans, is a star member of the University of Michigan’s Women’s Water Polo club team.

Paans, 31, is expected to appear at the 2024 National Collegiate Water Polo Championships (CWPA), which will be held from May 3 to 5 at Texas A&M University. The competition includes 16 US-based teams vying for the women’s national title in their sport. Paans’ first game will be against Texas State University on May 3 at 9:00 GMT. 

Paans is expected to compete on the University of Michigan’s Women’s Club Water Polo team. The club’s official Instagram account recently named Paans as “player of the week,” boasting that he is also a state chess champion in the women’s category, having won second place at the Michigan Chess Association women’s open in 2022.

Paans also competed on the University of Michigan team in 2023, during which time they won the national women’s title against the University of California-Santa Barbara. In the same competition, Paans was noted to have scored goals in a 17 to 5 defeat against the University of Virginia, and in a 17 to 6 defeat against the University of Washington.

Outside of the sporting world, Paans has a history of involving himself in women’s issues, including volunteering as a counselor at a “hotline specialized in topics relating to female health and pregnancy.”

While it is unclear when Paans began to identify as a “woman,” a 2013 Facebook post reveals that friends still referred to him by his birth name while congratulating him for beginning his secondary education in his home nation of the Netherlands. Paans appears to have immigrated from Europe to California in 2017 when he began an internship for Volo San Diego — a social sports club — and has remained in the country for education ever since. In 2023, he began a social work degree at the University of Michigan.

According to the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS), the parents of Paans’ opponents have confirmed that he uses the female locker rooms and facilities when he competes.

Speaking to Reduxx, Jennifer, the mother of a female NCAA water polo athlete who participated in the 2023 national championship with Paans, explained it had been “obvious” that Paans was male from the moment she had seen him. Jennifer’s full name is being withheld for the protection of her daughter.

“My husband and I saw him first, standing aside the pool before [University of Michigan’s] first game. We looked at each other in surprise, and immediately knew it was a man,” she says, adding: “I observed Alicia quite a bit over the tournament, partly out of concern for the women, and also wondering how his teammates acted around him.”

Jennifer says she had been distressed by the thought that her daughter might have been forced to participate against a male, and was “relieved” when the match-up did not come to fruition.

“None of these women were initially aware a man had been allowed to play,” Jennifer noted. “Many of the player’s on my daughter’s team were almost in shock at the situation, and spoke to one another about discomfort with it. But to my knowledge, no one spoke to the organizers of the tournament. They felt that nothing would be done given that it was allowed based on [CWPA] policy.”

In January of 2024, the CWPA released a transgender athlete policy which explicitly allowed males to compete in women’s categories. The policy reads: “Transgender athletes who identify as female are eligible to compete in both the Co-ed League and the Women’s League.”

Trans identified males are also required to provide a “letter of confirmation” regarding their gender identity, either from the athlete or, if underage, a parent or guardian; proof of testosterone levels below 10 nmol/L within 60 days of competition; and a physician’s note to prove that the athlete is starting “physical gender transitioning/testosterone suppression.” The association purports to ensure “fairness, respect, and equal opportunities for all.”

The policy has been slammed by ICONS as a “pathway for men” to enter women’s water polo.

In an official statement, ICONS condemned the CWPA, highlighting the safety risks associated with allowing males to self-identify into contact sports.

“The Collegiate Water Polo Association has made it clear in their policy that they do not prioritize safe or fair competition for women in water polo,” said ICONS co-founder Marshi Smith. “Their discriminatory policy announcement came after they had crowned the University of Michigan team with a national title, despite utilizing a male player – a secret weapon not accessible to other women’s teams in the tournament.”

Smith continues that despite water polo being a high-contact sport, female athletes were thrown into the water with no disclosure of the added risks of competing against a male.

“This year’s national championships are shaping up to be a tragic deja vu of domination for the female opponents who simply seek a fair chance to succeed.”

Catholic laywomen demanded that the Church allow “female deacons” during a women-led church service in Speyer Cathedral that featured a dancing clown.

On February 29, representatives of Catholic women’s organizations and the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK), a prominent lay group, hosted a Liturgy of the Word in the Cathedral of the Diocese of Speyer in the context of the nationwide “Day of the Deaconess.” According to the organizers, more than 350 people attended the service, most of them women.

The liturgy was led by women, according to a report from katholisch.de, including one dressed as a clown.

The laywomen called on the Church hierarchy to open the sacrament of Holy Orders to women, despite the Catholic Church’s dogmatic teaching that only men can be ordained.

According to katholisch.de, at one point during the service, the woman dressed as a clown danced in front of the altar, raising her hands in the air while singing, “Come to God. He will revive you.”

“The abundance of gifts and vocations of women given by God must finally be recognized in the Roman Catholic Church,” said Ulrike Göken-Huismann, one of the leaders of the Catholic Women’s Community of Germany (kfd), calling for ordination of “non-male people.”

It is “incomprehensible and no longer understandable that the decision-makers in our church have remained inactive for so long,” she claimed. “It is a form of abuse of power when non-male people remain excluded because of their gender.”

The women who organized the event did not only subscribe to feminism but also gnostic gender ideology. Ute Zeilmann, vice president of the Catholic German Women’s Association (KDFB), lamented that, in addition to women, so-called “intersex, trans, and non-binary people” are also barred from becoming deacons and priests.

In March, the head of the German Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Georg Bätzing, welcomed the idea of “female deacons,” saying that it would be “wonderful” if he could ordain women to the diaconate.

Bätzing, who has rejected Church teaching on numerous subjects without sanction from Pope Francis or the Vatican, wrongly claimed it would not distort the nature of the Church “if women were to exercise leadership, responsibility and decision-making in it on an equal footing with men.”

Catholic impossibility of ‘female deacons’

As LifeSiteNews Vatican correspondent Michael Haynes explained in an article, the Catholic Church has pronounced the impossibility of so-called “female deacons.”

“The diaconate, as part of the sacrament of Holy Orders, is not possible to be opened to women,” Haynes wrote.

In his 1994 apostolic letter Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, Pope St. John Paul II taught, “I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church’s faithful.”

In 2002, the Vatican’s International Theological Commission wrote after much study that:

1. The deaconesses mentioned in the tradition of the ancient Church — as evidenced by the rite of institution and the functions they exercised — were not purely and simply equivalent to the deacons;
2. The unity of the sacrament of Holy Orders, in the clear distinction between the ministries of the bishop and the priests on the one hand and the diaconal ministry on the other, is strongly underlined by ecclesial tradition, especially in the teaching of the Magisterium

In 2019, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), spoke with LifeSite’s Dr. Maike Hickson about the issue of “female ordination,” issuing a categorical clarification about the Catholic prohibition on the matter of women as priests or deacons:

It is certain without doubt, however, that this definitive decision from Pope John Paul II is indeed a dogma of the Faith of the Catholic Church and that this was of course the case already before this Pope defined this truth as contained in Revelation in the year 1994. The impossibility that a woman validly receives the Sacrament of Holy Orders in each of the three degrees is a truth contained in Revelation and it is thus infallibly confirmed by the Church’s Magisterium and presented as to be believed.

In 2018, Cardinal Luis Ladaria Ferrer, S.J., then prefect of the CDF, defended the teaching of Ordinatio Sacerdotalis as bearing the mark of “infallibility,” with St. John Paul II having “formally confirmed and made explicit, so as to remove all doubt, that which the Ordinary and Universal Magisterium has long considered throughout history as belonging to the deposit of faith.”

Managers at French public service radio just dismissed journalist Jean-François Achilli for “serious misconduct,” on the grounds that he was considering working with Rassemblement National (RN) president Jordan Bardella. The basis for the sacking is problematic, in that there were never any more than informal exchanges between the two men—proof instead of political censorship.

It took several weeks for the case to reach a conclusion. On March 14th this year, Achilli—presenter of the programme Les Informés on France Info radio and an employee of the public broadcasting service—was suspended and taken off air. The decision followed revelations in an article in Le Monde alleging that the journalist and RN president Bardella and head of its list for the European elections, had exchanged views, with the idea of writing a biography of the right-wing nationalist politician. 

The charges against the presenter are based on very slim facts. Excerpts written by Bardella were allegedly submitted for Achilli’s approval, who in turn refused to take part in the biographical work envisaged by Bardella. But according to Le Monde, the journalist ‘nonetheless worked in the shadows, helping Bardella recover his memories, thus enabling the beginnings of a text to see the light of day’. This was enough to trigger proceedings against Achilli by the management of the Radio France group, leading to his dismissal for serious misconduct a month and a half later, on Monday, April 29th. 

As far as ‘serious misconduct’ is concerned, there was never any contract or actual collaboration between the two men. At the time of his suspension, Achilli pointed out that his exchanges with Bardella were part of ‘his personal professional life’. Bardella, for his part, was outraged at the fate of the journalist: “I have just learned that Radio France is suspending one of its journalists for a “supposed” exchange about a book of interviews with me that never saw the light of day. These methods used by the public service are worthy of the worst regimes and are a disgrace to democracy.”

Achilli has since vigorously defended himself in a post on X:

I have not broken any professional or ethical rules. I spoke with Jordan Bardella as I have done with all politicians for the past twenty-five years. At his request, we talked about how he might express himself in a book of interviews. I refused the project. Since when can’t political journalists talk to all politicians? I am stunned by the brutality of the unjustified action taken against me by the management of France Info, which is seriously damaging my reputation.

Radio France maintains, however, that Achilli’s involvement in Bardella’s project, even on a one-off basis, constitutes a “serious conflict of interest.” Achilli’s involvement in a festival in Brittany called Think Forward, set up at the initiative of a local Les Républicains councillor, —although declared to management in accordance with the Radio France group’s internal procedures—is also being cited as evidence against him. 

It is not yet known whether Achilli intends to acquiesce, or whether he intends to take the matter to an industrial tribunal to challenge a clearly unfair dismissal. 

The interpenetration of political circles with journalistic circles is a near-universal trend, and never poses any problems of conscience—since it  is generally to the benefit of the Left. Journalists’ collaboration on memoirs or autobiographies of political figures is commonplace, and hardly ever gives rise to calls to order when mainstream figures are involved.

In a speech to the National Assembly on the Achilli case, RN MP Philippe Ballard cited several examples from the recent past of French publishing. Culture Minister Rachida Dati replied that the parallel did not apply, since the personalities quoted were bound by an explicit contract. What’s more, ethical rules have been tightened since June 2023: “Prior to any collaboration, or even at the limit of any discussion, to avoid any conflict of interest, all Achilli had to do was inform his management to say whether there was any collaboration envisaged. This was not the case, as Radio France found out through the press,” Dati said.

Double standards in Achilli’s case have been denounced by several voices on the Right. One example put forward is the case of journalist Léa Salamé, one of Achilli’s colleagues. Currently in a relationship with the socialist Raphaël Glucksmann, who heads the Socialist Party list for the European elections, she was finally taken off the air only after the Achilli scandal—for good measure.

As the election approaches, the Biden administration is amping up its woke reign of terror either because some of its people are expecting defeat and want to get as much done as possible before they fall or because the administration is frantically trying to appeal to the Left while ignoring the rest of the country.

Or maybe both.

Either way the EEOC or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced that men must be allowed to use the ladies’ room or it’s “workplace harassment.”

Back in the day, the EEOC had fought for the right of flight attendants to marry. Now it fights for the right of men to use their bathrooms.

Beyond forcing men into the ladies’ room, the EEOC also demands that men who claim falsely that they’re women to be referred to by their “chosen pronouns” or it’s also “workplace harassment”.

Combine the two and you clearly see that the concept of workplace harassment has flipped from not harassing employees to harassing them.

In the past, equality meant leaving employees alone. Now it means forcing everyone to play into a mentally ill person’s sexual fetish at the expense of their integrity and their privacy.

You’ve come a long way, baby.

Do the police and judiciary apply different standards to right-wing extremists and Islamists? The former are checked, the latter are simply allowed to go about their business.
You almost regularly see so-called search tents in front of neo-Nazi demonstrations.
► Like in Dortmund, for example, a temporary stronghold of right-wing extremists. Police Commissioner Gregor Lange declared in 2018 at a far-right demonstration under the slogan “Europe awake” that “violent enemies of the constitution don’t stand a chance” in the social-democratic stronghold of Dortmund.
Before the neo-Nazis were allowed onto the site of the rally, they were searched in two tents and their personal details were checked. The police chief justified this by stating that the participants had to be checked for weapons and anti-constitutional symbols. This was a requirement for the authorisation of the demonstration.

The police applied for these restrictions and the courts authorised them. Although the Federal Constitutional Court had already ruled in 2010 that police officers were no longer allowed to search protesters without clear suspicion.
Even then, the Berlin police did not consider this to be a problem, saying that there was no need to change previous practice and that they had previously only carried out “preliminary checks on the basis of a concrete suspicion of danger”.
► At a large neo-Nazi demonstration in Berlin, the participants were led into specially erected tents where they were extensively searched. The conditions were also set by the assembly authorities there.

There were no controls at the Islamist march in Hamburg, the police were only on the sidelines in case there were riots – as was the case six months ago at the same location

But now that well over 1,000 aggressive Islamists have marched in Hamburg, all this is no longer supposed to apply?
The rally took place on Steindamm of all places. It was only six months ago that 500 Islamists, presumably from the “Muslim interaktiv” group, the current demo organisers, brutally attacked police officers with stones, bottles and batons.

However, this is allegedly not enough to ban a demonstration of violent Islamists.
►Police spokeswoman Sandra Levgrün told the tabloid BILD: “There must be actual evidence that there will be violent riots during the rally.” Suspicion alone is not sufficient for a ban.

The police spokeswoman went on to say that the call for a caliphate was not a criminal offence. There had been strict conditions, e.g. no terror propaganda, no hate speech, no violence. The Islamists remained peaceful.
But were the radical extremists at least registered with personal details, as is usual with right-wing extremist demonstrations?
Levgrün: “Some of the participants are known to the police from previous demonstrations. But no 1250 identities were taken.” This is because: “A legal basis is required for both identification and videography.”
The police quite naturally always find this legal basis for right-wing extremists. Strangely enough, however, they do not with Islamists.
