Ehemaliger Bundeskanzler Schmidt: Bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts mehr Muslime als so genannte "Weiße" | September 2015

In einem Interview mit Journalisten der NZZ äußert der ehemalige Bundeskanzler Helmut Schmidt Skepsis gegenüber dem Engagement Deutschlands in Afghanistan. Seiner Meinung nach hat das militärische Engagement in Afghanistan zu viele Jahre gedauert, ohne sich zu verbessern. Gleichzeitig nimmt die Feindschaft zwischen dem Islam und dem Westen zu. Vor dem Hintergrund, bis zum Ende des 21. Jahrhunderts mehr Muslime als so genannte "Weiße" zu erwarten, sollte dies laut Schmidt eine besorgniserregende Entwicklung sein.

James Comey Interview on Trump, Russia, Hillary Clinton and the USA’s Border Policy

James Comey became a globally known figure following his decision in 2016 to announce that the FBI was re-opening the investigation into Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information. Many argue it was this move which lost Clinton the election.

Iran: Zarif to US: End Interference in Our Affairs

The trade row between the E-U and the United States is in its full force as the European Commission says it will begin charging 25 percent import duties on a range of American products. The E-U formally adopted a law to put in place the duties on 3-point-two billion dollars worth of U-S goods including steel, aluminum and farm products from Friday. The move is in response to the U-S tariffs imposed on E-U metal exports. The U-S president hit the E-U, Canada and Mexico with 25 percent levies on steels and 10 percent on aluminum at the beginning of June. Mexico retaliated against the move two weeks ago while Canada said it would place tariffs on U-S exports from July the first.

Caliph Donald Trump and the Rise of the Christian Taliban

Mehdi Hasan is here to warn you about a growing threat to the laws and values of the United States from a group of religious extremists and fanatics.

No, he's not talking about so-called jihadists or Islamists, or to “creeping Sharia.” Mehdi is referring to what he like to call the “Christian Taliban” — those Bible-thumping fundamentalists who are bent on theocratizing the U.S. government.

There's the attorney general of the United States, Mullah Jeff Sessions, who wants Sharia law, but of the biblical variety. And there's Mullah Ted Cruz, who calls himself a Christian first and an American second.

As in the Middle East, to really politicize religion, you need a bunch of politicized clerics. Caliph Donald Trump can call on some of America’s finest to make the case for Christian supremacism.

Mullah Robert Jeffress said God gave Trump the authority to “take out” Kim Jong-un. Mullah Jim Bakker says we have to “obey” Trump because God “had him elected.”

If that isn’t the language of theocracy, of zealotry, then what is?

What Is behind US Decision to Abandon UN Human Rights Council? | Inside Story

The United States has announced it's leaving the UN Human Rights Council. It calls the 47-member body 'hypocritical' and 'self-serving'. The decision follows months of threats by President Donald Trump.

The United States has long had a conflicting relationship with the UNHRC and says it has to be reformed. President Trump has recently faced widespread, and vociferous condemnation for his zero tolerance immigration policy, that's separating children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

So, how will this decision impact the global fight to protect human rights? And will this further isolate the U.S. on the world Stage?
