Thilo Sarrazin: „Wir sehen, dass uns Deutschland immer fremder wird“

Oct 17, 2023 | 13 Jahre nach seinem Skandal-Buch sind seine Thesen so aktuell wie nie: Thilo Sarrazin im Migrations-Klartext! Hat Deutschland sich mittlerweile abgeschafft? „Es ist dabei, es geht ja stufenweise“, sagt Sarrazin. Der Ex-Finanzsenator von Berlin führt aus: „Wenn wir über die Straßen gehen, dann sehen wir mehr und mehr Gesichter von Menschen, die erkennbar hier nicht geboren sind oder deren Eltern hier nicht geboren waren. Wir sehen in den Schulen, da fallen die Leistungsniveaus. Wir sehen, dass uns Deutschland insgesamt immer fremder wird. Und dieser Prozess der Abschaffung vollzieht sich halt allmählich über die Jahrzehnte.“

'More Immigrants Should Work for the State': German Chancellor Angela Merkel Adds to the Country's Roaring Immigration Debate
MAIL ONLINE: German Chancellor Angela Merkel has risked causing further outrage by saying that more immigrants should work for the state.

The country has been in the grip of a tense debate about the integration of Muslims for several weeks.

Fuelled by divisive comments about Turks and Arabs by central banker Thilo Sarrazin, Germany has been debating how to balance an economic need for more workers with growing public concern over integration of immigrants.

Merkel spakred controversy earlier this month when she said that multiculturalism had 'utterly failed' in Germany.
Her latest comments are now likely to cause more anger among citizens who feel alienated by the influx of immigrants to the country.

Interviewed by a 31-year-old Berlin policeman of Turkish origin for her latest internet podcast four days ahead of an integration summit at her chancellery, Merkel said:
'Today, people with a migrant background are under- represented in the public sector, and that needs to change.'

However, Merkel conceded that this was not always easy.
'I've also noticed that if someone has a name that doesn't sound German they can often have trouble being taken on at all in some professions,' she said.

Since Sarrazin inflamed opinion by asserting Turks and Arabs sponged off the state and refused to integrate, some of Merkel's conservatives become more critical of Muslims, who make up an estimated 4 million of Germany's 82 million population. >>> Daily Mail Reporter | Saturday, October 30, 2010

Sarrazin muss vor Gericht
WIENER ZEITUNG: SPD-Provokateur der Volksverhetzung beschuldigt.

Berlin. Gleich mehrere Anzeigen wegen Volksverhetzung sind bei der Staatsanwaltschaft eingelangt. Sie richten sich gegen niemand Geringeren als Bundesbank-Vorstand Thilo Sarrazin. Der ehemalige Berliner Finanzsenator und jetzige Banker hatte Mitte Juni erklärt, dass die Deutschen durch die Zuwanderung aus der Türkei, dem Nahen und Fernen Osten sowie aus Afrika "auf natürlichem Wege durchschnittlich dümmer" würden.

Es gebe "eine unterschiedliche Vermehrung von Bevölkerungsgruppen mit unterschiedlicher Intelligenz". Bereits Monate zuvor wurde er in einem Interview mit "lettre international" deutlich: "Je niedriger die Schicht, desto höher die Geburtenrate. Die Araber und die Türken haben einen zwei bis drei Mal höheren Anteil an Geburten, als es ihrem Bevölkerungsanteil entspricht." Und er ergänzte, die Türken würden Deutschland genauso "erobern", wie die Kosovaren den Kosovo erobert haben – durch eine höhere Geburtenrate. >>> Von WZ-Korrespondent Markus Kauffmann | Mittwoch, 07.

Migrants 'Make Germany Dumb' Says Central Banker in Astonishing* Outburst
MAIL ONLINE: Immigrants are making Germany 'dumber', according to a board member of the country's central bank.

Thilo Sarrazin claimed the 'limited education' of immigrants - coupled with their high birth rate - meant Germans 'are becoming dumber in a simple way'.

He said: 'There's a difference in the reproduction of population groups with varying intelligence.'

It is not the first time the 65-year-old member of the Bundesbank has caused controversy since he joined last year.

In October he described Muslim children as 'underclass' citizens.

'I don't have to accept someone who lives off a state they reject, doesn't properly take care of the education of his children-and keeps producing more little girls in headscarves,' Mr Sarrazin said.

'That goes for 70 percent of the Turkish and 90 percent of the Arabic population of Berlin.' He added that they were not fit for much other than 'fruit and vegetable selling'. >>> Allan Hall in Berlin | Saturday, June 12, 2010

Die neue Völkerwanderung: Rede von Thilo Sarrazin

Der Autor von „Deutschland schafft sich ab“, Thilo Sarrazin, redete am 6. Oktober 2015 bei der vom Freiheitlichen Bildungsinstitut und dem Liberalen Klub organisierten Veranstaltung „Die neue Völkerwanderung – Risiken und Gefahren“ Klartext. „Europa muss seine Grenzen unter Kontrolle bringen und letztlich schließen. Das gebietet die Vernunft, die ich aber in der derzeitigen Flüchtlingspolitik vermisse“, stellte Sarazin klar.

Riding the Wave of Islamophobia: The German Geert Wilders
SPIEGEL ONLINE INTERNATIONAL: A former member of Chancellor Merkel's Christian Democrats has formed a party to attract voters enthralled by Thilo Sarrazin and disappointed by Germany's existing parties. Berlin politician René Stadkewitz's new Freedom Party aims to leverage fear of Islam for political ends.

The 52 men and women meeting in a conference room at the Hotel Maritim in Berlin's Tiergarten district were determined to remain undisturbed. No one else was privy to the location and time of the meeting, in a deliberate attempt to prevent protestors and journalists from showing up at the scene. The only outsider present was Daniel Pipes, an American author, critic of Islam and advisor to former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who happened to be in the city.

The Hotel Maritim is on Stauffenbergstrasse, near the Memorial to the German Resistance. It is an historic point of reference that the 52 attendees would likely have drawn encouragement from. Like would-be Hitler assassin Claus von Stauffenberg, after whom the street is named, they too hope to protect Germany against what they perceive to be pending disaster. The group drafted a set of bylaws and discussed a 77-page party platform, which includes such statements as: "We will do everything in our power to oppose the Islamization of our country."

They gave their party a grand name, a name worth fighting for: "Die Freiheit" (Freedom).

The 52 men and women chose as their party chairman an unprepossessing man with a short haircut and melancholy eyes, the 45-year-old manager of a company specializing in alarm systems and security technology and a member of the Berlin state parliament, René Stadtkewitz. >>> Jochen-Martin Gutsch | Thursday, January 06, 2011

Ezra Levant on Geert Wilders' Acquittal
A Dutch court on Thursday acquitted controversial right-wing populist politician Geert Wilders on all charges relating to anti-Islamic statements he made in his films and on the Internet. The court said Wilders' comments had been part of a legitimate public debate.

After nearly six months, a trial against Dutch firebrand Geert Wilders ended Thursday in Amsterdam. A court acquitted the right-wing populist politician on charges of incitement, racial hatred and discrimination against Muslims.

In his verdict, leading judge Marcel van Oosten said that, while Wilders' statements were indeed offensive to Muslims, they were also part of the legitimate political debate. Wilders' claim that Islam is a violent religion and his demands for an immigration ban for Muslims had to be viewed in the context of the larger societal debate about immigration policies, the judge argued. He said the statements could not be directly blamed for increasing levels of discrimination against Dutch Muslims.

Wilders' supporters greeted the ruling, and the politician himself smiled as he left the courtroom.

The politician had been on trial since October 2010 because he compared the Koran with Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" in Internet forums and in "Fitna" , a film he made that was extremely critical of Islam. In his closing statement, Wilders said that his controversial statements against Islam were protected by the right to free speech. Wilders said he believed the process of Islamization presents a threat to Europe and that it is his right and duty to warn the public about it.

If he had been convicted, Wilders could have faced up to one year in jail or a fine of up to €7,600 ($10,865). At the peak of the controversy over his statements, Wilders was once even banned from entering the United Kingdom.

After making strong gains in elections in the Netherlands last summer, Wilders' party has become the third strongest in parliament. Although it is not technically part of the government, Wilders party supports the minority government, which is comprised of the center-right Liberal Party and the conservative Christian Democrats and which would collapse without backing from Wilders' Party of Freedom.

Wilders' comments sparked a massive debate on the integration of Muslims in Europe that has helped fuel other populist movements around the continent. In Germany , politician Thilo Sarrazin wrote a bestselling book warning that Muslim immigrants were dumbing the country down.

Thilo Sarrazin sagt die Wahrheit

Most Germans See Muslims as a Burden
THE LOCAL: More than half of Germans see Muslim immigrants as a drag on the country, a poll published Thursday has found.

According to the Allensbach poll commissioned by the Financial Times Deutschland, 55 percent judged that the migrant group “has cost significantly more financially and socially than it has yielded economically.”

Only one fifth of respondents believed Muslim immigrants were more a benefit than a burden. The skepticism is particularly strong in the former east of the country, where 74 percent of respondents saw Muslims as a drain on the nation. In the former west, the figure was 50 percent.

Furthermore, more than one third of the population believes Germany is indeed becoming “dumber on average” because of immigration, as former Bundesbank board member Thilo Sarrazin has controversially claimed. Migrants were poorly educated and had more children, many respondents said. In the former east, 37 percent of people believed this to be the case, compared with 33 percent who rejected the proposition. Read on and comment >>> | Thursday, September 30, 2010
