German Armed Forces
Germany and Jordan in Dispute over Immunity for Soldiers
Before the German Armed Forces move to Jordan, the German government intends to achieve their immunity before law. Otherwise, they would be under sharia law.
August 26, 2017

German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen in Jordan

It remains unclear yet if German soldiers in Jordan will be protected from Sharia law. The Federal government had made this demand in the negotiations concerning the stationing of German soldiers in Jordan. But according to Der Spiegel information, Jordan has not yet granted such immunity.
About 250 German Armed Forces soldiers are to be stationed in Jordan from Septeber on, to fly reconnaissance flights against the terror Militia“Islamic State” from there. The Federal government wants them to be protected from criminal prosecution in Jordan, as it partially still is under the Koran-inspired sharia law which also sees death penalty. The jurisdiction of the Sharia courts is limited to certain aspects like family law though.
After withdrawal from Turkish Incirlik, the soldiers are to be stationed on the Jordan base Muwaffak Salti near Al-Asrak. The moving was a decision of the Federal government early June. The reason for this decision was the conflict with the Turkish government regarding visit rights of German representatives at the German Armed Forces soldiers.
“We are still nogotiating the stationing arrangement”, the defense ministry in Berlin comments. They were not expecting a delay of the moving of the “Tornado”recconnaissance jets which is scheduled for October. [“Tornado” is the name of a type of German military jet – translator]
Last year, there had been similar discussions with Qatar. There, a compromise was achieved, according to which soldiers were flown out to Germany, instead of being held responsible before a Qatari court. In Jordan, such compromise seemed unlikely due to the size of the mission, Der Spiegel quotes Federal Armed sources.

ADD: A Vote for Germany’s Future

Posted on by

A new party will be up for elections in the German national elections on September 24, with the promising name ADD, “Allianz Deutscher Demokraten” (“Alliance of German Democrats”).
A Turkish gentleman named Ramzi Aru formed the AD Democrats out of protest in 2016, when the German Bundestag recognized the mass killings of the Armenians by the Turks as a genocide. According to Mr. Aru, this puts all German parties out of the question for Turkish voters.

Wait – is that Turkish premier Erdogan on a German election poster?

Intrigued by the ADD poster for the German Bundestag election, which curiously appears to show the counterfeit of Mr. Erdogan, we went to their website to read their mission statement:

(excerpt:)

“The AD Democrats champion a communal right to vote for all foreign nationals and people without nationality who are of the necessary voting age, and who have been legally residing in Germany for a period no longer than a communal legislative period; independent of their nationality.
Whoever feels that their opinion matters, is already integrated. The communal right to vote must be granted to all people, to enable them to participate in the active forming of their direct environment.
Excluding people from the right to vote is a discrimination of them when exercising their political rights. Due to the demographic development, a growth of the population that is politically not represented is to be expected in the next years. Thus, in communities with a high proportion of foreigners, democracy-less areas will form. Foreigner Advisory Boards and Migrant Gremiums alone cannot replace the active democratic process. The AD Democrats champion that every foreigner receives the full right to vote on communal and national level after ten years of residence.
The AD Democrats also champion to grant families more political weight by giving the parents the right to vote for their underage children. This increased weight will mean that families will move into the center of the political processes, and family policies will automatically become more sustainable. Only who has a vote can be sure to be acknowledged politically; especially children.”

In what appears to be a Turkish jingoistic news portal, we found a report about the ADD’s party convention in Duisburg in November 2016.

Regular readers will recognize two familiar faces at the event: One of them is the German ‘journalist’, former Marxist, and convert to Islam Martin Lejeune (photo right). We covered his unfortunate little mishap at the Berlin Marathon, where he was shilling for Erdogan: Taking One For Team Erdogan (Gates of Vienna, April 8, 2017).

The gentleman on the left, speaking to Mr. Lejeune, is Mr. Ramazan Akbas, vice chair of the ADD. He is new to us, but from another news portal, Turkishnews, we larn that he has lodged a complaint against the aforementioned Armenia resolution of the German Bundestag, arguing that the resolution violates his human rights. His complaint was turned down, so now he is suing at the European Court of Human Rights.

“famous blogger” Bilgili Üretmen at the ADD party convention

The other familiar face is, we learn, “the popular blogger from the Turkish immigrant community, Bilgili Üretmen”, here seen holding his membership card. We did not know that he was popular or a blogger, we only knew him from what appeared to be a nervous breakdown and a screaming fit directed at the German concert organizer Marek Lieberberg, when Lieberberg’s “Rock am Ring” event was cancelled due to a terror risk, and Lieberberg suggested that terror might have something to do with Islam (full story: Ramadan am Ring, Part 2, Gates of Vienna, June 11, 2017. Turn the volume down should you watch the video).

All in all, we think that with such personnel, and such programme, this newly-founded party is a welcome contribution to the diversity of the German political landscape. What could possibly go wrong?

Sibel Kekilli: “You don’t accept other people, especially not women or people of other beliefs”

Posted on by

The popular German actress Sibel Kekilli (born in Germany in 1980 as the daughter of immigrants), known to an international audience as ‘Shae’ in Game of Thrones, has left Instagram over harrassment mainly by Muslims.

Actress Sibel Kekilli

Bild quote her saying:

“This is the first and the last time that I will speak to the people who hate me, most of them are Turks, unfortunately.
I will no longer tolerate threats, insults and disgusting sex photos that you send me. You are full of hate and jealousy. You call yourselves Muslims, yet you don’t accept other people, especially not women or people of other beliefs. You are full of sh**… Honestly, I feel sorry for you. Stop following me. I will say goodbye for a little while.”

Sibel’s own experience as growing up as a girl in a “relatively modern” Muslim family in Germany, not being allowed to go to college, or to partake in school field trips, led her to break away from her family and champion womens’ rights.

She caused a “scandal” in 2006, when, in a speech in Berlin addressing domestic violence, she said:

“I have experienced for myself that both physical and psychological abuse are regarded as normal in a Muslim family. Sadly, violence belongs to the culture of Islam.”

Part of the audience booed her, one man interrupted her speech and yelled: “Islam has got nothing to do with violence. You humiliate our people!”, and the Turkish consul general got up and left in protest.

In a speech on behalf of Terre des Femmes on International Women’s Day, 2015, Kekilli called Islamic culture “merciless”. She said women like herself were treated “worse than murderers”, which inflicted psychological damage upon women, and asked Muslim men to let women live their lives in peace.

Sibel Kekilli: “this inhumane pressure is making you sad, hunched, depressive”

A video of that speech in German can be found on Youtube: “Sibel Kekilli über Individuelle Freiheit und Kollektiven Druck” (“Sibel Kekilli on Individual Freedom and Collective Pressure”). A Youtube user was so kind to post a full English translation below the video in the comments.

The comments under that video in (bad) German by users with Turkish names are calling her a slut, a sellout and whore.

Please examine this 2013 article by Daniel Greenfield in the torch light ofTurkish riots across Europe this week

There is a concept that Daniel introduced me to in this article that haunts me.

It is the geopolitical tool of Military Colonists.

Here is his article and yes, while it is 100% applicable to the Islamic migration invasion of Europe which is easy to see, and the one in the US Obama engineered and the one Trudeau engineered for Canada, which seem harder to spot in the media but far easier on the streets, this article screams to be read in the more traditional use of the term, as Turkish expats flex their muscle across states not fully obedient to Erdogan’s will.

 

Tensions between Turkey and Holland escalate in both locations

This might be why

There is a great deal in the comments on this right now. It is well worth checking out. Yesterday’s as well.

Editing and subtitling is going to take up a lot of time today, but there is fantastic material on the way,

So please do check the comments linked above. Turkey may have put the match to the tinder box which is the large numbers of Muslims in Europe.

Wrath of Khan made this explanatory video. The only thing we are uncertain about is what may have been an error in another site’s referral to the Turkish foreign minister as the family minister, which is echoing on many sites.

I believe however that it is the Turkish FM who was banned from speaking in the Netherlands.

Richard adds:

Turkey has a family affairs minister:

Egri Nok clears it up:

both have been banned from speaking in the Netherlands.
Both the Foreign Minister, and after he was banned, the Family Minister.

Turkey’s Erdogan seems headed for an Ottoman Empire sequel. ‘He’s back, and now he’s mad’

The Express has this story:

TURKISH leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan has insisted he will lead the world to “rise up” against Germany as tensions between the two nations continue to escalate.

President Erdogan has launched a series of attacks on Berlin after officials cancelled rallies aimed at courting an estimated 1.5 million ethnic Turkish voters in Germany before an upcoming referendum.

The Turkish leader accused of Nazi-type behaviour after the pro-Erdogan rallies were banned, in a widening backlash that also includes Austria and the Netherlands.

President Erdogan told a rally in Istanbul: “We will talk about Germany’s actions in the international arena and we will put them to shame in the world’s eyes.

“If I want to, I will come to Germany. If you don’t let me in or if you don’t let me speak, I will make the whole world rise up!”

For those that forgot, Erdogan did a special photo op a few years ago where he stood on the steps of his new Ceausescu like palace, and had the stairs lined with men in costumes from various periods of the Ottoman Empire.
