Why is the sign in English? I don’t know, but the German press is running photos of the English sign, so apparently that’s what’s hanging in Frankfurt.
In any case, many cities will soon follow Frankfurt’s example. Soon, Christmas decorations will become controversial, and ultimately disappear altogether. Wir schaffen das!
“First German city hangs Ramadan festival lights,” translated from “Erste deutsche Stadt hängt Ramadan-Festbeleuchtung auf,” Junge Freiheit, March 5, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):
FRANKFURT AM MAIN. Frankfurt am Main is the first city in Germany to start hanging decorations for the Islamic festival of Ramadan. The work started on Monday morning, reports the Bild newspaper. Stars and crescents now hang over the streets around the Alte Oper near downtown Frankfurt. Ramadan, the highest Muslim festival, begins on March 10th and ends on April 9th.
The Greens and SPD as well as the Greens-led Department for Diversity and Anti-Discrimination made the decision on lighting as early as 2023 against the votes of the CDU. The argument of the green-red coalition: “Between 100,000 and 150,000 Muslims live in Frankfurt am Main, they make up almost 15 percent of the total population.”
The Green Party’s application states: “By decorating during Ramadan, the city of Frankfurt is sending an important signal for Muslim life and thereby appreciating the people of the Muslim faith in this city.”
Frankfurt’s mayor Nargess Eskandari-Grünberg (Greens) defended the installation of the lighting to Bild: “They are lights of togetherness, against reservations, against discrimination, against anti-Muslim racism and also against anti-Semitism.” The native Iranian took over from November 2022 to May 2023 the mayor’s business provisionally after Peter Feldmann was voted out.
The lighting costs Frankfurt taxpayers between 50,000 and 100,000 euros, the paper reports. This roughly corresponds to the cost of the Christmas lights in Frankfurt, which amounts to 75,000 euros.
The British capital London seems to be the model for Frankfurt. Mayor Sadiq Khan had Ramadan festival lighting installed in central Piccadilly Circus last year. (sv)

Things are getting worse and worse weekly.Hard to fathom the amount of enemies in our politics nowadays!Watching the Western white world become the 1930’s and the sane know what happened than.

The plague of Islamitis must be eradicated.
bill says
It si English because they do not speak German, which tell a lot. Ramadan is not the Moose Limb Xmas, it is about fasting and contemplation. Frankfurt is reapeating the old fallacy let us be kind to them and they will like us more. Israel tried that and look what happened?

Europe is done, they committed voluntary genocide.The cult of death has taken over.
I don’t even feel pity anymore.

Sorry to say but your correct
unless their is a great awakening but it doesn’t look good
They invited the evil one in now they’ll pay
Tony Rice says
Germany has historically been ” close ” to Islamists
somehistory says
In the past, during the Christmas markets and people shopping for food, gifts, etc., mozlums drove large vehicles into the crowds at the markets and on the streets.
Can anyone expect that large vehicles will be driven into the mobs of mozlums (who may decide to put down their dirty carpets on the streets under the lights in order to show their dominance) in Frankfurt?

On the way to the Islamisation of Europe – now Germany! Why on earth do they feel the need to do this? sheer appeasement is going to lead to further empowerment of these Jihadis! Germany on the road of no return! Good luck Germany!!
libertyORdeath says
How RETARDED are the Germans to openly celebrate the month of JIHAD?
F@#K you, you filthy racist Germans! It’s NOT your country anymore!
maria says
The Germans were close allies to the muslims during WWII.
Himmler had his best friend Amin Al Hussaini “grand mufti” of Jerusalem
Ernie says
More bowing to ” the beast “. So sad ; we know where it leads to…..
James Lincoln says
So, for Ramadan, is Germany also going to offer a “muslim discount” on explosives?
somehistory says
A bogo maybe, just for the devout. No coupon needed.

Germany surges in the international Islamopandering derby.
OLD GUY says
I wonder when Germany will close the BEER GARDENS during Octoberfest as it OFFENDS the Muslim/Islamic feelings?
Ray Jarman says
If you remember, one October Fest event was terrorized by inbred muslims a few years back. I attempted to obtain the exact date as my memory is not as it was but neither Google nor MSN would provide any information concerning the attack. Having lived in Frankfurt for about nine years while serving in the army 3rd Armored Hqs at Drake/Edwards Kaserne from 1971 through 1979, I never could have imagined what has occurred in Germany.

I’m so glad I did my two years in military service, many years ago, in Germany, when Islam wasn’t even a thought in anyone’s mind. Many years after I came back to the states, from there, I had always thought fondly of the memories, and especially the beauty of the country. And was hoping that one day, I might be able to visit her again.
Now, I don’t think of Germany anymore, and sadly, I dont ever want to again. Germany along with all the other European “cuntries” have lost their way, and their minds. It’s hard to watch no one helping them from turning into all Islam. Do none of the people care, that their doom is almost upon them?
