What is and is not “hate speech” is an entirely subjective judgment. “Hate speech” laws are a tool of the powerful to silence the powerless, and this case shows that vividly. Stürzenberger spoke the truth about Islam, but those truths are as unwelcome in Germany as they are elsewhere, and so he is going to be made to pay, as an example to others to keep silent and go along.
“Hamburg: Stürzenberger sentenced to six months in prison without parole,” translated from “Hamburg: Stürzenberger zu sechs Monaten Haft ohne Bewährung verurteilt,” PI News, September 7, 2022:
PI-NEWS author Michael Stürzenberger was sentenced today by a young Hamburg judge to six months in prison without parole on the grounds of hate speech. This judgment was preceded by a rally of the Pax Europa citizens’ movement on October 8, 2020 in Hamburg. Stürzenberger there criticized “political Islam” and its atrocities. He clearly differentiated between brutal Islamic perpetrators and peaceful Muslims. His criticism was also directed at so-called refugees from Islamic countries who committed crimes here, and he backed this up with facts from the Federal Criminal Police Office.
During the hearing, Judge Engel showed himself to be very understanding, listened calmly to all objections to this lawsuit and also confirmed when viewing the video of the rally that a clear differentiation had taken place here. But then, after only five (!) minutes of interruption for the verdict, Engel showed a completely different side of himself. Our author reported that he was short-tempered and as if he had been changed. Because Stürzenberger obviously wants to continue with his work and thus disturbs the “public peace,” he is now to be locked away for six months. The verdict followed the request of the public prosecutor’s office.
Of course, Michael Stürzenberger will appeal. Until this judge’s ruling is revised, however, it seems as if one should no longer criticize terror, rape, murder and other crimes in Germany when it comes to the “wrong” clientele – especially when it comes to the Koran and various Islamic hate preachers motivated actions.
With §130 StGB – incitement of the people, politics and the judiciary, which is now almost consistently far left, have created an absolute rubber paragraph with which one can punish politically unwanted criticism at any time. Political opponents and critics can be threatened with imprisonment for up to five years, put under pressure and silenced – quite legitimately.
If this judgment is not overturned, this means not only little living space for Stürzenberger for six months, but an equally long period of acute and real life-threatening conditions. The German prisons are filled to the ceiling with Muslims. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to imagine how much some people are looking forward to getting their hands on our author or getting their hands on a knife.
Nevertheless, Michael Stürzenberger wants to continue. Because even if the Germans are distracted by domestic political problems with justified fear and concern about their existence, the danger to life and limb from perpetrators with an Islamic background is omnipresent. It can happen to any of us today.

The Truth is just not allowed because the public might learn something they didn’t know which would alter their thinking and behavior. those in charge just can’t allow people to make up their own minds.
Two Ot; the Queen of England has died.
and the Washington Examiner has a story on the taliban
“The Taliban embrace crystal meth”
“And terrorism is not the only threat the Taliban pose.’
Thankfully, at this moment, I do not face prison time for posting this.

On another article… I posted this quote on Truth:
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” Author: Arthur Schopenhauer
It appears that the world is stuck in stage 2.
The Queen has gone on to eternity, hopefully her elevator has gone up and not down. Sadly, Prince Charles, a Global Elite useful idiot is now King.
Jan Markell at Olive Tree Ministries has a slogan: “The world is not falling apart; the prophetic pieces are coming together.”
Interesting about the Taliban embracing crystal meth, that might explain their demonic activity as drugs open one up to the demonic world.
Thank you for the information.
somehistory says
Thank you, milo.
Yes, the prophecies are being fulfilled and we are witnesses to it. I recall what the Bible says about ancient faithful men and women who “desired” to see what would happen, but have had to sleep in death. Now we are privileged to see these things “coming together.”
1Peter 1:10 “Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care,”
milo minderbinder says
I appreciate what you have to say somehistory.
This from the Book of Job:
“Oh, that my words were written! Oh, that they were inscribed in a book! That they were engraved on a rock With an iron pen and lead, forever! For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!” Job 19:23-27
These last verses from maybe the oldest book in the Bible.
‘”And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!”
That sounds like “life after death to me” Amen!
somehistory says
Yes, men of old believed in a resurrection. The writer of Psalm 16 said God would “not leave my soul in Sheol,” and Jonah said, “out of the belly of hell, I cried.”
And Jesus promised to Martha and her sister that there would be a resurrection of “the righteous and the unrighteous.”

As for Captcha, this is just to cut down on robot-generated spam. Generally you can just click through the prompts and you get back to the page.
But sometimes this doesn’t work, and is frustrating. If you get stuck or Captcha winds up in a loop, you can generally just keep clicking backward (the left facing arrow at the top of the page) until you return to the page. Worst case scenario you may have to open the page again, and you can continue to post.
I run into Captcha maybe once a month here, so it is a minor frustration, but no worse.

So true, Somehistory.
And I just sadly heard about the Queen’s passing. She was not perfect, but *far* better than her horrible Islamophilic son Charles. Now we especially have to hope that PM LIz Truss is honest about opposing illegal immigration and Islamic rape gangs, because she is not likely to get any help from the monarchy.
As for the Taliban, they love anything that harms to ‘filthy Infidels”. They supposedly opposed opium in the past, but really only opposed its use by Muslims.
somehistory says
yes, g, they grew it and didn’t like the fact that when the U.S. went into afghanistan, their poppy fields…from which they made skads of money, esp off American dope users, were destroyed.

The same sort of thing is happening here in the UK, they did the same to Tommy Robinson.
Truth tellers must be silenced, so they send them to jail.
somehistory says
This they did to John the Baptizer, to Peter and Paul. The enemies of Truth have long used this method of silencing their opposition. And some, such as Jesus, they murdered.
It will keep happening until the Only One Who can stop it, does so.

So, telling the truth about islam in Germany is now considered to be criminal hate speech.
But lying about islam in Germany – by whitewashing it – in Germany.

I recall some years ago on this site, reports about the marches that took place in Germany to try to stop the invasion of mozlums…before it had gotten as far as now…and those marching were excoriated for voicing an opinion about islam and what mozlums want.
I don’t recall the name of the group.
gravenimage says
Somehistory, was it AfD (Alternative for Germany)? I haven’t heard much from them recently–I would not be surprised if they were legally shut down for opposing Jihad terror.
somehistory says
Could be, g. I know it was something about keeping Germany free of islam.
John ..Smith says
I believe the marches were organised by Pediga and the AFD are the political party,
and yes they have gone very quiet lately. I do remember something about one of the founders of Pediga leaving for some reason or other and maybe it collapsed after that, It’s something that I will have to look into. It’s such a shame because they were a strong positive movement.

thank you, John, for the name of the group. I thought it began with the letter ‘p’…but that was all my mind could recall and I wasn’t sure if it was correct.
so, thank you.

Germany: Critic of Islam gets six months in prison without parole for ‘hate speech’ for criticizing Islam
………………………………………………….
This is *just chilling*. For one thing, one should have the right to criticize *any* faith or ideology, so long as one is not advocating violence, as Stürzenberger clearly was not.
More:
Stürzenberger there criticized “political Islam” and its atrocities. He clearly differentiated between brutal Islamic perpetrators and peaceful Muslims. His criticism was also directed at so-called refugees from Islamic countries who committed crimes here, and he backed this up with facts from the Federal Criminal Police Office.
………………………………………………….
So now condemning atrocities and crimes is “hate speech”? This is a complete inversion of morality.
More:
Of course, Michael Stürzenberger will appeal. Until this judge’s ruling is revised, however, it seems as if one should no longer criticize terror, rape, murder and other crimes in Germany when it comes to the “wrong” clientele – especially when it comes to the Koran and various Islamic hate preachers motivated actions.
………………………………………………….
That’s the whole point, isn’t it? Michael Stürzenberger is the immediate victim here, but this is aimed at *anyone* who dares criticize horrors done in the name of Islam.
More:
If this judgment is not overturned, this means not only little living space for Stürzenberger for six months, but an equally long period of acute and real life-threatening conditions. The German prisons are filled to the ceiling with Muslims. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to imagine how much some people are looking forward to getting their hands on our author or getting their hands on a knife.

What an absolute disgrace this is. Without free speech we are nothing but slaves. Free speech means the right to say things some people, including the government, might not like to hear. This ranks with the other authoritarian crazy things in history, like Nazi Germany & the Salem witch trials.
What would the Islam apologists like to stand up for in Islam anyway? Like when four people of the one family in Australia held down the daughter of a Muslim family & tried to stab her to death for refusing to marry her cousin?

somehistory says
That is the kind of thing they don’t want condemned and to tell the Truth about islam, one will have to tell about these kinds of things…and they will be condemned by moral people.
david1508 says
When you read the article the family Muslim members who stabbed the daughter are trying to get their cases thrown out of court, & are pleading not guilty. In other words what they are saying is “move along, we are entitled to honour kill the daughter under Islam, which makes us not guilty.” They have no remorse & think what they did is right. Well guess what Muslims, you are not in a Muslim country anymore where you would get away with it. I hope they throw the book at you in the infidel court you are going to appear in.
somehistory says
I hope so too. Too bad no death penalty for such things. It is my contention that devout mozlums are psychopaths and will never apologize or feel any regret, no matter how evil are their actions.

OT Others are facing prison time for a different reason Laws are being considered to limit how high citizens can have their heat…66 degrees F and no radiant heaters will be allowed. Prison time of up to three years for violating.
“Switzerland is considering jailing anyone who heats their rooms above 19C for up to three years if the country is forced to ration gas due to the Ukraine war.
Speaking to Blick, Markus Sporndli, who is a spokesman for the Federal Department of Finance, explained that the rate for fines on a daily basis could start at 30 Swiss Francs (£26).”
The country could also give fines to those who violate the proposed new regulations.
In fact, German Economic Minister Robert Habeck has publicly admitted that some parts of the German economy will “simply stop producing for the time being”.”
As I detailed a few days ago, even the head of the UN is admitting that there will be “multiple famines” in 2023.
