Keine Toleranz gegenüber der Intoleranz

The author compares current anti-Muslim sentiment in Germany to the antisemitism of the 1920s and 30s, citing figures like Heinz Buschkowsky and Alice Schwarzer as contributors to a climate of demonization. The text asserts that this rhetoric fuels violence, such as attacks on mosques, and supports movements like Pegida. It concludes by demanding that politicians recognize Islamophobia as racism and that media outlets stop publishing anti-Muslim content.

• The author identifies a parallel between historical Nazi antisemitism and modern anti-Muslim rhetoric, noting that Muslims have been assigned the "racist role of the scapegoat" similar to how Jews were targeted in the past.
• Public figures and commentators in Germany, including Heinz Buschkowsky, Henryk M. Broder, Daniel Alter, Thilo Sarrazin, and Alice Schwarzer, are accused of making the defamation and demonization of religious and cultural minorities socially acceptable again 80 years after the Shoah.
• The Pegida movement is described as exploiting a social environment where anti-Muslim statements are not recognized as racism by the general public.
• The document links the tolerance of demonization in public discourse to physical violence, citing the burning of mosques and attacks on Muslim citizens in Germany and Sweden.
• The author proposes two primary steps to combat this trend: that German politicians recognize Islamophobia as a form of racism and that editors stop allowing contributions with anti-Muslim content.
