Berlin adolescents attack blacks - Police say: "no xenophobia"

What is it then, if three young men attack a black couple because of the color of their skin??

National Security (2)

Someone recently attacked Kai Diekmann's car. Diekmann is the head of Germany's most controverse boulevard magazine - BILD. Unfortunately, I cannot feel sorry for him and tend to think that this serves him quite well, since he is responsible for a magazine that is keeping German masses undereducated and wrong-informed.

However, what gives me a bad feeling about this, is that the Red Army Fraction also started their terrorism by attacking things like warehouses. Just when they noticed that this didn't work they started killing people. We should not get back to these things again.

Whose bread I eat...

There's this German saying about people typically tending to take the opinion of their superiors. It translates to something like "Whose bread I eat, whose song I sing."

Alan Posener earned some fame today for posting an opinion about the boss of Bild, a German yellow press paper, because he did exactly the opposite. He works for the same publishing company. Posener became even more famous, when his bosses tried to censor him and removed his article from his newspaper's weblog. The text already had been spread.

Evil Empire

This text provides another view on Anti-Americanism in Germany than the one we are used to. Nothing to add from me.

Edit, March 31st: There is another article that covers the European approach to islamic fanatism.
