Are we diverse enough yet?
“Interview with a German journalist: ‘Like many other women in Germany, I no longer feel safe,’” Voice of Europe, January 24, 2018:
We interviewed German journalist and model Anabel Schunke. She studied political science and history and is one of Germany’s most well-known criticasters of the country’s migration policy. This interview is part one of two. Anabel is active on Twitter and Facebook
How did the admission of so many migrants change your country?
Germany is no longer the same country compared with before 2015. There’s now only one topic: The migration crisis. Of course this is also connected with the discussion about Islam and its “excesses” that we have been experiencing for years in this country through Muslim migrants and those that will come in the future.
This leads to a fatal consequence: We are no longer talking about topics appropriate for a civilised Western society. For example, I’m watching the news and see a report on China and the latest technical and digital innovations which they want to compete with Silicon Valley, and so on.
Meanwhile, in Germany we are discussing wearing headscarves, banning pork in canteens, and Islamic studies in schools. We are clearly missing out on the connection to the top of the world and let us drag ourselves from the migration of mostly deeply backward Islamic countries into the abyss. This should not be allowed by a country whose resources are education, German diligence, recognition abroad and the technical innovations of companies like Siemens.
For Germany, migration is an absolute “backward business”. It divides the country; it shifts the social discourse of the future into the medieval past. The question is no longer: How do we want to live here as Germans in the future and defend our position in the world, but how can we make it as comfortable as possible for Muslims in the name of tolerance? Not to mention the daily attacks, the increase of violent and sexual offenses.
According to German media there were fewer women on the streets of Hamburg during NYE. Is that an effect of migrant (sex) crimes?
Of course, that is an immediate effect of the massive increase in sexual offenses against German women. You know, after each terrorist attack, a mantra is repeated that we will not let our way of life be taken away from us, that we should not be afraid.
The truth is that the majority of the population does not want to admit that they are afraid and that they don’t do certain things out of fear. The fear of being called a racist is still greater than admitting that you are avoiding these people and certain events.
It’s the same with terror and the massive sexual assaults since 2015 by migrants. You read the news and, especially for us women, the many reports about violent and sexual offenses have a certain influence. More and more women have unpleasant experiences with male migrants. You have to imagine that, according to statistics, of the over 1.5 million migrants 80% are men. During a walk in the city, it doesn’t matter where or when, you will encounter them.
The effects of immigration are now shaping many cityscapes. Almost every woman now experiences how different the looks at them are and the feelings that result from it. It’s like being a piece of cattle.
In addition, there are actual attacks. Of course, there have always been rapes in every country, but the quality and quantity of the attacks have changed completely. It makes no difference to the victim whether she is raped at home by an acquaintance or in public in broad daylight by a migrant stranger, but for society and women’s overall thinking in this country, it has its effects.
There are no more “safe spaces”. It can happen to you anytime, anywhere, even if you celebrate New Year’s Eve in a large group. The risk of becoming a victim of a sexual offense has become too big and many women have simply withdrawn from public space in order to avoid these risky situations….
It is cruel to see how women keep silent and are unnoticed by the majority of society, while much of the media attention disappears as well. It is in a weakened form what happened in many Islamic countries after the revitalization of conservative Islam.
The woman becomes invisible. Cologne was the point at which I became really aware of what this particular kind of immigration means, especially for us women, but also for society as a whole. I mean, apart from sexual assaults on women, there was a situation in which the state totally lost control in Cologne for hours….
RichardL says
Anabel Schunke isn’t really a journalist – she is a very important blogging activists, who, strangely enough, sometimes gets a piece into the HuffPo. She is still studying.
Not sure, if she is a member of the AfD, she is, however, a very effective voice of the AfD because she was known before as a model. I admire her work greatly. She has a great video on youtube where she walks with another AfD member (Guido Reil, he was in SPD since he was a boy and caused an uproar when he joined). If you understand a little German it’s worth watching.
Angus66 says
Journalist or not she summed-up the Islamic invasion quite well:
“For Germany, migration is an absolute “backward business”. It divides the country; it shifts the social discourse of the future into the medieval past. The question is no longer: How do we want to live here as Germans in the future and defend our position in the world, but how can we make it as comfortable as possible for Muslims in the name of tolerance? Not to mention the daily attacks, the increase of violent and sexual offenses.”
larry says
Way past time for Germany to allow citizens to conceal carry firearms. But, alas, the German gov. never will.
thesailor says
She obviously isn’t one of the vast bulk of Lefty journalists. If she was, she would be peddling the usual patronising diatribes about “islamophobia” and “hate crimes” by Infidels.
Savvy Kafir says
That makes sense. She seems far too honest and sensible to be a journalist.
Diane Harvey says
“It is cruel to see how women keep silent and are unnoticed by the majority of society, while much of the media attention disappears as well. It is in a weakened form what happened in many Islamic countries after the revitalization of conservative Islam.”
And you have the female Mutti Merkel to thank for it all.
MFritz says
Merkel doesn’t care. She only wants to stay in power.
A political satirist once quipped about Merkel, that she would have made her political career under ANY regime.
DFD says
Errr… NO!
We have to thank G Soros and his pals, like Barbara Lectre etc. Merkel is a *** major symptom*** and a minor part of the disease. Soros & Co ***ARE*** the disease as well as its cause!!!!
In case you haven’t noticed, it affects EVERY western country.

Common Purpose seems to be at the root of it all. Watch Pat Condell’s Youtube channel if it has not been taken down.

Diane Harvey, Merkel, schmerkel !
See how many Germans voted for her party ? See how many had voted for the previous Kancellor, Herr Hitler ? And when der Fuehrer ran berserk all over Europe, murdering and enslaving right and left only a few German heroes such as Staufenberg and his co-resistors protested. Collective guilt.

Germans should not have to flee to India. And it is not as if India is not threatened with Jihad terror, as well. In fact, India’s Muslim popultion is higher than Germany’s.
bodega says
So re-elected Merkel? What kind of people want what Germany has become? It is relaly sad and it will have a very negative impact on the USA. Of course, we seem to be doing something similar. We need to rid ourselves of all illegal immigrants., men, women and children, period.
MFritz says
Most people here still believe German media and political parties. Unfortunately.
So most voters saw no “alternative” but to vote for Merkel’s CDU and the traitorous SPD. And there are no real “alternatives”: Greens party and “liberals” same as CDU/SPD. Leftist party split or unimportant. AfD… loud mouths and aggressive in one direction, but very obviously waiting for their “chance” to help out Merkel’s party. VERY fake!
gravenimage says
More people voted against Merkel than for her. Unfortunately, the opposition was freagmented.

Kafir women aren’t supposed to feel safe. Kor’an 33:59.
c matt says
It is a little difficult to feel much sympathy for Germany when they keep re-electing Merkel.
MFritz says
Alas, I have to agree with you. 🙁
MFritz says
Be a BIT sceptical about Frau Schunke and her political intentions with this interview! Besides, she’s not YET finished with university.
Apart from that, she’s very straight forward and says what she thinks and (maybe) has experienced herself. And, yes, she’s right in many aspects.
Nobody here in Germany wants to talk about these issues openly – yet – and especially girls and women are victims and are changing their daily habits as a consequence. Also the increased level of violence (knife attacks etc.) and aggression against people and our culture and its symbols is already FELT by many more here.
Which will most likely increase as long as the perpetrators are pandered too by media and politics. And more are to come!
gravenimage says
I don’t think you should assume that she doesn’t know what she is talking about based on her still being in school, given how many ignorant dhimmis have advanced degrees.
MFritz says
That’s not my point, gravenimage.
My point is her being a well-known activist for the AfD and not really a journalist – yet. Her opinion as a (German) woman and her openess is appreciated. But her political intentions – her general intentions as well – are not clear.
It’s about remaining OBJECTIVE – not shooting the messenger on the one hand out of sheer political bias (as the msm and many “tolerant” people do). And then again not underestimating the fact that some want to use this topic for their own political gain and/or to advance their careers.
Rotten Eye says
Mfritz, dont ignore her factual observations just because you may assume what her motives MAY be.
The FACT is germany will falter on education and technological development. There is no way out from this with a parallel alien culture competing in the same space for limited resources, one culture growing exponentially, the other shrinking. And the fact is the replacement population do not have the cultural characteristics of a modern technological society that will face increasing stress due to automation.
Europe will fall behind America and China and Japan technologically and developmentally as Europe spends more resources on the Muslim problem.
Good luck in Germany, you will need it.
Sarah says
I feel bloody sorry for every single German man and woman who did not vote for Merkel – or ANY of the mainstream parties who would’ve just promulgated the same. So I guess essentially, I feel bloody sorry for any AfD voter, really. Those men and women tried to change the direction that their country is tumbling towards.
But the rest of the Germans, guys – you made your bed, now you get to lie in it. It is hard to rummage up any real empathy for the mess you’re in, when you chose it willingly, with open arms.
And here I used to think that Germans were so damn smart, well educated and efficient. Efficient at being led by the nose by their Politicians, maybe.
DFD says
Ah the propaganda bull…. About 2 years ago there was a video posted by an American, titled: ‘In defence of European men.mp4’. Deleted, doesn’t exist any more. I guarantee, what happens to us Euros will not only happen to you too – it’ll be worse. And it’s already happening.
You write about: “…guys – you made your bed, now you get to lie in it. It is hard to rummage up any real empathy for the mess you’re in, when you chose it willingly, with open arms. …”
You fu…g morons! It’s already worse for you! Have you noticed what happened to you since ’65? Idiots! You went down from 90% to less than 40% of the populace! Yet the population of your country went up – with the white birth rate collapsing like that of western Europe, down to about 1.4 births. You think you are in a high, secure number? Take a good look at how the “pew” (“…phew…”) numbers are derived. The number of Euro-Americans (white trash) is still high, since north Africans, near and middle Easterners and Arabs, as well as Turks and Pakistanis, are counted as white. Sorry, not white, but as ‘Caucasians’. That mystical region that is by now, according to more and more American websites, somewhere in South Western Asia !!! You fuc…g arseholes! All that’s needed are two pills, one is called the first, and the other the second amendment. And you ***snoohhrrrrrrrre*** – and feel good. Don’t wake up! 2 years ago there were about 40 or 50 jihadi training camps in the US, and now…? Oh, I forgot, you have a new sheriff in town… Wasn’t me who said that, but a guy blogging under “Wild Bill of America!” – well, he found out what that new sheriff is worth when he took a trip to Canada. That’s just north of your border… Would you believe it?
Whenever one calls you to unity, you morons run forward and type: “…oh it’s all your fault. Don’t ask us to solve your problems, we are sooooo strong….” You dumbarses! Nobody is asking you to solve our problems, but for you to realize that you have the same problem! You fantasize about running away and hiding in the country side – you morons. Once you have given up the cities you have lost them! The US mil? They carry out the US gov’s orders, they give an F+! about you! In case you haven’t noticed, it’s not a peoples (draft) army, it’s a professional army. YOU MEAN BETWEEN VERY LITTLE AND NOTHING as far as a professional army is concerned. (The best you can hope for there, is that they split in the middle, thus 50/50. Whoopeeee….)
We Euros are at least organizing, and often fighting back. Of course, everybody who only thinks about it is a Nazi. Here’s a pot-pourri about us: https://youtu.be/nC7k6xU7mDc
And what are you doing? You congratulate each other and assure each other that nothing can happen to you – what’s the point? I give up! Not on Europe though.
6woods says
Oh bullshit. Everyone who reads Jihad Watch and who posts here realizes that islamization is a global problem, with the exception of a few dhimmis and/or islamic filth. I’m Canadian and I’m stuck with this globalist shit-for-brains Turdo.
I have as much disdain for brain-dead lefty North Americans who are allowing this to happen as I do for your brain-dead lefty Euro-trash compatriots.
DFD says
May am I so bold as to suggest that you learn the difference between left & right. Oh brother, I wondered if I might be mistaken for a Nazi, instead, you are calling me a lefty… And Euro-Trash on top!!!
You certainly confirm everything and every word I said. I think most of you are a dead-loss.
Indiana Tom says
May am I so bold as to suggest that you learn the difference between left & right.
Extreme Left & Right is about the same. Ask Mussolini.
CRUSADER says
Turdo.
Awesome moniker for JihadiJustin.
6woods says
Hey DFD, responding to your 6:59 reply to me: I do know the difference between left and right. And I suggest you brush up on your reading comprehension. I didn’t call YOU Euro-trash, I called your left-leaning compatriots Euro-Trash. You’re not left-leaning, are you?This was after you called us North American posters morons and fucking arseholes.
I have many relatives in Germany and Sweden, and America-Bashing is definitely a sport there.
CRUSADER says
As if the Swedes or Krauts have it correct. Ha !!!!
What a bunch of Dhimmis.
gravenimage says
Well, that screed was pretty shocking. DFD, you must know that most Americans at Jihad Watch stand with you, and few of us minimize the problems we face here.
6woods says
DFD is too dense and America-hating to realize that most of us on this site are on the same side: that is, against the islamization of our towns, cities, countries. We want to live our lives in peace. We don’t want to be told what to think, say, wear, or whom or what to worship (if anyone/anything). We want to live and let live, dammit.
CRUSADER says
Be Strong, Be of Good Courage. God Bless America, Long Live the Republic!
gravenimage says
DFD, I find your referring to Americans of European heritage as “white trash” disturbing, as well.
6woods says
Yup. He can dish it out, but he can’t take it, witness his bristling when he thought I called him Euro-trash (I didn’t).
CRUSADER says
AMERICAN EXCEPTIONAL-ISM is what will make up the difference, once again!!!!
Bring it on. Breathe in the Freedom.
DFD says
Hi Graven,
Thanks for your reply. I gather from the way that you wrote that you are puzzled about this piece. OK, that was a fishing expedition, finding out what Americans not only think, but will they join, and how many have woken up. As you may be aware, I am still writing on “that civil wars” thing.
Result of the fishing expedition? Ranging from somewhat inconclusive to ***positive*** failure, fortunately. Possible explanation for both? I am for years a contributor on JW and thus rather well known, so that’s one reason why there were no real takers for that piece – except you of course 🙂 I am sure you’re not the only one who wondered. With hindsight, I should have considered that before posting. Oh well, it goes to show: even I make mistakes.
So what did I get? A few newbies screaming their heads off. What I was however more keen on was that ’65 bit’, no response whatsoever, I even put a strong pointer in there, namely what you found to be disturbing… “DFD, I find your referring to Americans of European heritage as “white trash” disturbing, as well”, plus a couple of other pointers too. Believe me, they had good reasons to be in, and I still wonder here about how many Americans are actually aware of how precarious their situation is. By the same token, Europeans should look at that too – and see what their own numeric future is… But how does the old expression go?: “Revolutions are only three square meals per day away!” (Roughly along these lines) That is incidentally one of the reasons why I believe the EU pumps money into Greece, simply to prevent what one could term a “trigger explosion” leading to several others. In other words, they are trying to keep the lid on. France, Germany, Sweden, UK etc., the people don’t know, by and large. Even though the MSM is bombing out and losing rapidly, the vast majority still gets their news {or rather daily dose of manipulation} from the MSM. Although, people become more and more nervous, anxious even.
Well, I’ll refer to the ’65 bit soon, hopefully, time permitting. And if you haven’t guessed, you’ll find it to be… Shocking? Depressive?
There was one thing though that was fun, for me that is. As you know, I think the idea that the left and the right are identical is utter nonsense. Involuntarily one of the newbies posted a hilarious comment: “……Extreme Left & Right is about the same. Ask Mussolini……” Marvellous, fantastic! Nasty Adolf had to rescue him once, then finally the commies got him – and they are about they same… Priceless! I have to use that somewhere.
There’s a PS comment here, I was a bit ‘worried’ that someone like Wellington or Mortimer would comment and ask if I lost my marbles – and thus spoil my fishing expedition. Turned out to be irrelevant, given that I only got three newbies to play along.
Still, that you expressed your amazement was nice, ’cause it showed that I am understood and correctly so. It’s nice to know that people care about what one is saying… Thanks.

We’re all dying and before we are buried, let us together do what we can to help our descendants so that they live happy lives to the glory of the true God Who created us and redeemed us and sanctified us.. Aren’t we all on the same side, I mean, those of us who know what the Islamic texts teach that allah may rule the world? God help us that together we fight Islam and the devil..
DFD says
Not what I expected, but BEST response so far or as such. Good one!
Graudenz says
What difference does it make if Anabel Schunke has finished university or not? If you read her blog posts and listen to her interviews, she is already more intelligent and level headed than 90% of ‘professional’ German journalists – or maybe purveyors of propaganda is a better description. I am a dual US and EU citizen, and am totally ashamed of reporters on both sides of the Atlantic for being such easily deceived snowflakes whose views of the world have been permanently shaped by the horse manure they were force fed by their college professors.

Agreed. I judge things in their content, not on the age of the author or the number of degrees she has completed.

Anyone who listens to PRAGER U will learn that universities are not where knowledge and wisdom are learned….
Bill says
“Like many other women in Germany, I no longer feel safe. The number of women, who visit me or send me messages on Facebook about their fears or concrete experiences with migrants, is growing continuously”
I liked her answers in the interview, especially the observations about how the invasion is a “backwards business”. I want to focus on this one quote a bit. Anti invasion (not “immigration”) activists often speak in terms of “feelings”. I believe that to be unwise because “feelings” are easy for the proponents of the Islamic invasion to sweep aside as “Islamophobia”. Speak of facts, of reality. Do not say “I no longer feel safe”. Or that German women do not feel safe. Speak the truth: “I am unsafe” . The Government’s policies make us unsafe. Those would be the better, more compelling statements. The facts support it. Facts support action.
Cut the nonsense about how the govenment’s policies are making everyone “feel”. Addressing feelings does little and often is the cause of bad laws, which do only harm, while pretending to make people feel better, without actually making things better. Hate speech laws are a good example of that.
CRUSADER says
Interesting point Bill.
However, many women do go on feeling.
And that needs to be appreciated and applauded.
What she is saying about her feelings is what a male would say about facts.
Both are legitimate. The main point is that she is brave and true and she speaks out.
gravenimage says
Bill and CRUSADER, it is not the case that women are always emotional and have no interest in facts. I am sure that Anabel Schunke no longer feels safe in Germany because it *is* no longer safe in today’s Germany overrun with violent rapist Muslims.

It appears that someone has forgotten that diversity is our strength.
eduardo odraude says
Diversity is part of our strength. The problem is not diversity per se, but the suicidal kind of diversity that includes global totalitarian agendas (Islam) that gradually destroy diversity: freedom of religion, and freedom of speech.
Terry Gain says
Bringing in Muslims makes us more diverse and less safe and less free. Less safe and less free makes us weaker.

Yes, well said. This is exactly what islam is doing, and muslims love it, because this ‘stuff’ is all they are bothered about. Hence their backwards ruined poopoohole countries.
If they could get their heads out of their collective poopooholes, things might get better.

I can see why she is a model, and she represents the confident and beautiful face of Europe that is fast disappearing. Glad to see that she is bold in the face of this sort of danger and speaks the truth!
Most of Europe is cowering already.
It is during times of difficultly, when the churning process is underway that the cream rises to the top.
As these days are growing darker, those of us left with a voice, virtue, and courage need to rise to the occasion and defend the oppressed, speak the truth, and fight for justice!
Otherwise they will have already won their jihad.
Indiana Tom says
We are clearly missing out on the connection to the top of the world and let us drag ourselves from the migration of mostly deeply backward Islamic countries into the abyss. Sort of like the Nazis did in the 1930s. Some of my ancestral families left Germany in the 1840s; literally a smart move!
