German Chancellor Incites Against Immigrants
News:
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated in a televised interview that work must be done to restore the stereotypical image of German cities that has changed due to the increase in immigrants.
Comment:
As soon as these statements reached the ears of the far-right party, they lavished praise on him and commented that he was adopting the view of the Alternative party, which has become competing with the long-established parties in its increasing popularity.
According to the latest opinion poll, the Alternative party is ahead of all parties in Germany and is preparing to have the final say in the upcoming elections, to appoint the next chancellor from its members, assume power, and gain a majority in parliament.
This poll reveals the failure of both the ruling party and the coalition participant to steal the rug from under the feet of the Alternative party, as they promised in the last elections. Therefore, the Chancellor found himself forced to adopt some of the Alternative party's concepts, electoral programs, and even use the same far-right vocabulary, which backfired on him by accusing him of racism.
These statements regarding immigrants sparked a violent reaction among the children of immigrants because they felt that they were collectively accused of distorting the stereotypical (German) image of the city, which the Chancellor wants to be free of foreigners, specifically people of color, those wearing headscarves, or other forms that the Chancellor and his racist peers do not want to see in the cities, so that the cities return purely German, unmarred by a foreigner who is pointed at and accused of being a criminal, a fraud, a drug dealer, or other things, as described by extremists who hate foreigners.
The Chancellor and many politicians, whether from moderate or extremist parties, are striving to divert attention from the general failure in politics and the economy, and attribute this to the increase in immigrants, and they exploit the media in all its forms to distract people from their failure, poor policies, and deviation from their principles.
Material utilitarianism is still the primary factor in shaping society without regard for humanity. Therefore, it is not surprising that politicians adopt ideas and concepts based on this basis, and that the politician aims in presenting his program to win votes regardless of the validity or corruption of the idea.
In conclusion, Islam has established a great rule for building society, which the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, emphasized when he addressed the people on the day of the conquest of Mecca, saying: "O people, God has removed from you the arrogance of ignorance and its boasting of ancestors. People are of two kinds: a righteous, pious, and honorable person to God, and a wicked, miserable, and insignificant person to God. People are the children of Adam, and God created Adam from dust." He then recited the verse: ﴿O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.﴾" [Narrated by Abdullah bin Omar and reported by Al-Tirmidhi]
So look at the greatness of this religion, which is time to return to and judge between people with justice.
