“Ich bin nicht so schrecklich, wie ihr denkt!” ??

Omar — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:17:26 +0000

Ich hab was gegen Vorurteile und bin auch nicht der Ansicht, dass man sie durch zur Schau gestelltes Negieren bekämpfen kann. Zum Einen beweist bekanntlich die Ausnahme stets die Regel, sodass das Zurschaustellen per se kontraproduktiv ist. Zum Anderen führt solches Zurschaustellen regelmäßig zur irreführenden Unterscheidung zwischen "gutem" und "bösem" [beliebige Minderheit einfügen]. Das hilft im Endeffekt nicht weiter.

Eine Gruppe von Muslimen hat sich im aktuellen Fall dazu entschlossen, viele verschiedene Bilder von Muslimen in "muslimischer Kleidung" zu portraitieren. Das Projekt "Pictures of Muslims wearing things" ist lustig und unterhaltsam. Aber was bringt das?

Pierre Vogel: Versammlung der Umma! Wirklich?

Omar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:00:13 +0000

Die üblichen Gruppierungen rund um Pierre Vogel verschicken wieder Emails, nachdem die Schamfrist nach ihrem Debakel um den Fall der fünffachen Mutter Natalie Bracht scheinbar abgelaufen ist. Diesmal geht es um den Prozess des Mörders von Marwa El-Sherbini, der in der letzten Woche anlief und wohl bis Mitte diesen Monats zuende gebracht wird. In der Email wird zur Massenversammlung vor dem Gericht in Dresden aufgerufen, was ich zum Anlass nehme, mal Beweggründe zu hinterfragen.

Barack Obama – the PR-stunt?

Omar — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:52:54 +0000

Just a few days ago David over at Dialoginternational put the question out, if the Obama-election would put out the antiamericamism in Europe. He specially has a look at the European (German) left, which seems mostly high on Obamania ((everybody seems to have forgotten this term)). For starters he characterizes the current resentment of American policies rightly:

Yes, there has always been a current of anti-Americanism in Europe, but intensity over the past years had more to do with disastrous policies of the Bush administration than with some innate animosity towards America. Now that the Bush era has come to an end and Americans voted by a large margin for an African-American with progressive policies, will we find a more positive image of America in Germany - even among the German left?

The mask and shell of self loathing

Omar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:59:01 +0000

We have numerous young Muslims who have — in this self-ghettoization — chosen to take up the role of “the enemy” assuming that the world is at war with them. They speak with artificial accents, dress in clothes that to them seems more “authentically Islamic” and speak with vicious, sweeping language about the Other. But [...]

Civil Rights vs “stay the course”

Omar — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 21:19:10 +0000

On Thursday US-Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ordered a stop to the NSA-~~Spy~~Surveillance-program in a major blow to President Bush's "stay the course"-slogan. In the case ACLU vs NSA the judge agreed that the surveillance-program collided with the first and fourth amendment of the US-Constitution and the Seperation of Power Doctrine and was therefore illegal as long as the NSA doesn't get a judge's permission to observe and spy on a specific person or organisation.
