Germany postpones posters aimed at countering jihad for fear they will incite more jihad

So what are they supposed to do? Not fight jihad, because fighting jihad will only lead to more jihad? Apparently they have decided to stay quiet and hope they will be OK. "Germany postpones posters aimed at countering radical Islam," by Chris Cottrell for Reuters, September 20 (thanks to Twostellas):

Germany’s Interior Ministry has postponed at the last minute a poster campaign advertising a hotline aimed at countering radical Islam because of fears it could have incited violence by extremists....

The posters had been due to go up in German cities with large immigrant populations from Friday. They were aimed at those who suspected that a friend or family member might be drifting towards radical Islam.

“With everything that is going on right now, we’re afraid that it wouldn’t take much to trigger more religiously motivated violence,” an interior ministry spokesman said.

“We’re talking specifically about fanatic individuals who could use events they perceive as being Islamophobic as an opportunity to take action.” The spokesman said the ministry had no reason to believe such an attack was imminent.

Protesters angered by the California-made film stormed the German embassy in Sudan on Friday and Berlin withdrew some staff.

Sudan had criticized Germany for allowing a protest last month by far-right activists carrying caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad and also for giving an award to a Danish cartoonist whose depiction of the Prophet in 2005 sparked global protests.

Some Muslim groups had criticized the planned poster campaign because they said it stigmatized them....

Of course.

50 dead so far, some report said. Not one killed by the film or anyone who made it.

Why bother with this "anti-radical"/jihad BS? terrorism works, even the sole threat of pedohammedan violence and terror is enough to subdue non-muslims. Pedohammedans won, pusillanimous germans lost!.

5% Muslims living now in Germany!

The dhimmi Q. 9:29 German Interior Minister Dr. Friedrich,
is helpless with the reaction of the Muslim mob.

Can one imagine how it is, when 10% or more living in Germany?

He is a coward traitor!!


hans-peter.friedrich@bundestag.de

Darn Germany, publish it so these Mohammedans will self destruct

If this is with Angela Merkel as chancellor and the "Christian Democratic Union" in power, imagine what will happen with an East German, Honecker nostalgic as head of state!.

How sad is this?

Fear is the motivating political factor here.

The Muslims have won through intimidation.

The Germans might as well admit it.


Terrorism works, so muslims don't have to

Boat swamped? Try drilling a hole in it to let the water out.

If we continue to back down they will continue to move forward...

“We’re talking specifically about fanatic individuals who could use events they perceive as being Islamophobic as an opportunity to take action.”

Madness, but the type of madness we have come to expect from our clueless and incompetent leaders.

On the one hand the Ministry is conceding fear of reprisal, so that the posters will be shelved due to the ongoing violence, and also implying that the same "fanatics" will quietly accept the posters when things quieten down.

In the real world, that poster programme will never happen.

Yet another own goal.

"stay quiet and hope they will be OK"
You would have thought that the Germans of all people would know the futility of that behaviour...

The ONLY way to deal with bullies is to confront them with irresistible force, NOT to submit to their intimidation. For a victim of bullying, even breathing can be an offense that requires punishment. Germany is now at the tipping point. Is the 95 percent going to stand up to and stop the bullying and threats of violence by the 5 percent?

"it could have incited violence by extremists"
Well so be it. Kit up. Get ready. If they react violently then put down any rioting ruthlessly. Make arrests and start deporting. Close down the mosques associated with the rioters. Deal with the problem. Stop running away from it. They're not going away. Eventually you will have to deal with it anyway. Better now on your terms than later on theirs.
The West has got to stop crawling on all 4s in front of Islam. Stand up!

"The ONLY way to deal with bullies is to confront them with irresistible force, NOT to submit to their intimidation."
You're right IMO. Similar to the need to stand up to a bully is dealing with a demanding child. Any psychologist will tell us that giving in to a child's temper tantrums (riots) does not solve the problem. The child just demands more and more. The failiure to deal with a bully or/and a spoiled child well images the situation of the West in regards to Islam.

The gutless German politicians also banned pastor Terry Jones from entering the country, he had been invited by Pro-Deutschland but the politicians and the media, of course, deem him a hatemonger.

The "missing" campaign has been postponed for obvious reasons, they won't admit it, but they're shitting bricks, now.

hahhahaah a haa hhaa hahahahaha

the moslem groups worried they will be stigmatized so support a ban is entirely consistent with their fantasy world where death is good and sex with children is divinely sanctioned....

if they stopped fantasizing for a moment they would realize that they stigmatize themselves without any outside help.

"“With everything that is going on right now, we’re afraid that it wouldn’t take much to trigger more religiously motivated violence,” an interior ministry spokesman said."

Clearly the riots are effective. Think about it... Islam is twice as smart as the rest of us...

Just like a dhimmi fire brigade deciding it will be easier to put out the flames when the building is fully engulfed, rather than extinguishing the cooking fire on the stove.

It reminds me of the UN peacekeepers in the "Innocence of the Muslims": "No, wait. Don't take any action until it's over."
