Together with Ricarda Lang, Omid Nouripour will head the Greens.The choice for the federal chair is logical: a young woman without a migrant background and without professional competence heads the party together with a not-so-young migrant without professional competence.
It goes without saying that they must appoint a woman and a man at the top. And indeed, the visual distinction could not be greater: Here the massive German Ricarda Lang and there the “smart Persian”, as party friends like to call him.
Nouripour was born in Tehran in 1975 and came to Germany 13 years later. In 1997, he began his studies, which he dropped out of in 2002 to become a professional politician on the federal executive committee of the Green Party. In 2006, he replaced Joschka Fischer in the Bundestag, where he is still a member today. From 2009 to 2013, he was his party’s spokesperson on security policy, and since 2013 he has held the office of foreign policy spokesperson. Since then, he has been considered an expert on foreign policy.
Thus, while he did not categorically rule out the military fight against the terrorist organisation Islamic State (IS), he opposed arming Kurdish fighters in the war against them. On the other hand, he was in favour of economic sanctions against Russia. He also spoke out in favour of Ukraine’s accession to the EU, which is hardly feasible in view of current events.
Nouripour is considered the designated successor of Annalena Baerbock, should she resign as Foreign Minister. Here, however, the passionate Eintracht Frankfurt fan must be put off: In Germany, the resignation of politicians was abolished a long time ago.
The politician, who also has Iranian citizenship, is remembered in a particularly inglorious way when he was still on the advisory board of the German-Palestinian Society (DPG). The latter openly sympathised with the anti-Semitic BDS campaign, which called for a boycott of Israeli products.
In April 2013, Nouripour, together with other members of the Green parliamentary group, tabled a minor question in the German Bundestag aimed at labelling goods from Israeli settlements. In this way, it should be made visible whether a product comes from an Israeli settlement or from a Palestinian producer.
The German-Iranian publicist and spokesman of the “Green Party of Iran”, Kazem Mousavi, said: “A member of the democratic Bundestag must not promote and support the worst racist campaign of our time, BDS. The membership of the Iranian-born member of the Bundestag Nouripour in the advisory board of the anti-Israeli DPG not only harms German politics, but first and foremost supports the Holocaust-denying regime in Iran.”
The Muslim Nouripour seems to have a special relationship to Sharia, because he wants to introduce it in parts of Germany. The ex-Muslim civil rights activist Ali Utlu rightly says: “The colour of this party is the same as that of Islam. Green.

Nip it in the bud!”

He (Omid Nouripour, editor’s note) expressed the view in the German Parliament that “the passages [of the Sharia] that are compatible with the constitution can also be applied”. In effect, he was calling for Islamic jurisprudence to be established in Germany, at least in part. How exactly Sharia law, which provides for stoning, flogging or even the death penalty for certain offences, is supposed to be compatible with the German Constitution, Nouripour did not say. Sharia law fundamentally assumes the inferiority of women and provides men with numerous privileges – especially in inheritance law and marriage law. The founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal, abolished it in 1928 as a pre-modern and outdated relic and introduced Swiss civil law in Turkey. The founder of modern Turkey deliberately refrained from adopting any Islamic law. In Germany, a kind of questionable lay judiciary has established itself in Muslim parallel worlds, which places Sharia law above the German rule of law.
