In recent days, we have rightly complained that German politics and media apply double standards or are silent about terrorist attacks with an Islamic background.In the case of Horst Seehofer, however, we must now say: If only he had kept quiet! Today, the newspaper “Augsburger Allgemeine” published an interview with the Minister of the Interior on various topics ranging from climate protection to the face mask case to extremism in Germany and drew an irritating conclusion on the latter.
Of course, he said nothing concerning the victims, because Söder, on behalf of all Bavarians, had already dealt with this topic together with the mayor of Würzburg. Therefore, Seehofer could deal with the much more important topic of “Who bears responsibility for the jihad murders?
“A strong police force alone is not enough,” Seehofer declared, after dutifully emphasising that the federal government had nothing to reproach itself for, because in recent years the police force had always taken massive action against radical Muslims. In any case, right-wing extremism has been the much greater danger since Corona at the latest. And further: “We must also strive for integration and prevention. A democracy is only defensible if the population makes this its business.
Seehofer did not specify what he meant by the population’s resistance. Probably civil society (i.e. left-green) engagement against Islamophobia and the creation of so-called safe havens. Because shortly afterwards, the Interior Minister declared, “If a young man lives in a homeless shelter for six years without anyone looking and caring, then I cannot be satisfied with our policy. There is a lack of awareness there.”
Seehofer is right, isn’t he? At the latest after a year’s stay in a well-kept asylum centre with halal food and fast Wi-Fi, the man should have been given a nice two-room flat in a good residential area and a stable job (preferably in the immigration office). And the Christian congregations in his neighbourhood should have organised a visiting and entertainment service right from the start, so that the ISIS fan wouldn’t get any ideas.In this way, he would certainly have met ten or twelve willing young euphoric female refugee helpers in the course of the past six years and would not have developed a hatred of women.
“The worst thing that could happen to us would be if we relativise one development by another. We have to take everything equally seriously.” What might Seehofer have been thinking while saying this sentence in the interview? Probably: The woke fools don’t notice that I’m constantly relativising when it comes to our friends from the most peaceful of all religions, which is part of Germany!
We focus on the victims
And because of that, it’s a shame…
…that the interior minister, who is partly responsible for the opening of the borders…
…can think of nothing better to do in this situation than to rant about a lack of integration efforts by the state and citizens.
