Status Updates From Freiheit ist keine Metapher

That was a good last chapter, albeit I doubt that the people it adresses will ever stop whining. They like it too much.

Well, the queer feminists definitely embraced the nutters

Is what he states really so typical for Germany or just for Flensburg?

Ok, you criticized the European and Gwerman immigration rrules regarding LGBTQ people. But what is the alternative? What is a functioning system?

I hadn't come across the accusation of being a token from leftists towards people that they don't like.

Fear of critcizing Islam... common apparently.

Oh yeah, the circumcision "debate", there was no shortage of screaming racism and antisemitism.

So in the 21st century all european homocides of Jews were commited by Muslims? I surely never heard that before. And appparently Leipzig is the center of political Islam in East Germany.

Are they accusing Said of antisemitism now? Could be, this author seems to use one of the vague definitions. Antisemitism is one of the big flaws of this book, since so many of its authors completely switch when it comes to that topic and basically act like the people they criticized.

They stated that "people of color" is the "self-identification of people affected by racism"? So, I can call myself a person of color now? And then they stated that racism is the discrimination of people of color... that is circular reasoning. I do wonder also why the author considers "animosity towards Jews" to be an insufficient definition of antisemitism.

I get that certain things are offensive, however, many of her examples are old by now and this one case of where an old lady thought someone is a refugee from Syria is on the same level as when I was the only one who got a fork in a Vietnamese imbiss.

She is so right, this constant guilttripping in Germany is insane. And even for its defenders, it should be clear that based on their own statements, it doesn't seem to work. And true, Jews are "too white" in Western imagery to be considered "good victims" for the new left. Albeit other authors here would probably disagree with her and even that she didn't say specifcally that jews are the biggest victims.

There are similarities between radical islam and naziism regarding motherhood, and yet the critics seem to not realize that, just like they don't see how close they are to the new right

The author makes a good argument as to why the head scarf is not a religious symbol, it can't be based on islamic law and its usuage doesn't suggest a religious symbol either.

Foccault was shocked that homosexuals were executed in Iran? Hm, makes me wonder how much the guy actually knew about the world. he seems to have had a fantasy about it and yet after his death, many books were written that claimed that western christianity made the Islamic world homophobic, something I also saw claimed for East and Southeast Asia,

These early islamic critics are rarely mentioned. Albeit I wouldn't surprise me if some count them as somehow western influenced after all.

This chapter had more voices from the 2015 new year event than the media coverage

great, more stuff about antisemitism, would be less annoying if these authors would have the same definition of that term. This one hear speaks of its magical and extrminatory nature, but several others came with examples that don't fit that, so weren't they antisemitic after all?
