German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/83,
pp. 9922-9923.
Herr President. Right honorable ladies and gentlemen. Dear
colleagues.
“A message written in blood to the nation of the cross” was
the title of a video which the “Islamic State” published on February 15, 2015.
It showed the beheading of 21 mostly Coptic Christians on the Libyan seashore. The
Catholic writer Martin Mosebach has dedicated a book to the 21 martyrs. Mosebach
considered this video – cite:
to be a picture of enmity…which in the Western world actually appeared to be overcome following the victory over Hitler – unconditional and uncompromising enmity; enmity which can only end with the annihilation of one of the two enemies.
This act was no single incident. That this and other mass
murders were at all possible is also a consequence of Western policy. What Barack
Obama and the Merkel government concerted to euphemize as an “Arab Spring” was
in the end nothing other than a victory march of Islamism
Thomas Rachel (CDU/CSU): Shameless!
which cost thousands of human lives.
The scorn and persecution of Christians is on the daily
order of almost all Islamic countries. The murderers commit their acts not
seldom targeted on Christian holy days; and that, worldwide: Christmas 2011,
Nigeria: Islamic attack on a church, 37 people murdered; Palm Sunday, 2017,
Egypt: Islamic bomb attack on two churches, 45 people murdered; Easter Sunday
2019, Sri Lanka: Islamic bomb attacks on three churches, more than 300 people
murdered – that is just a tiny selection from an endlessly long series of
murders. Despite this, there is still no remembrance day against hatred of
Christians. That, we want to change [Drucksache
20/5368].
“Islamophobia” is a combat term of the Iranian terror master
Khomeni. Yet there are three days of remembrance or action alone against this
so-called “Islamophobia”: Of the UN, of the EU and in Germany. All of these
remembrance days have the purpose of drumming into us that Moslems especially
suffer under persecution. In that regard, Moslems are most persecuted not by
some other religion, but primarily by Moslems of other orientations within
Moslem states.
Götz Frömming (AfD): That is so!
The Islamic hatred of Christians is as old as Islam, and it
claims countless human lives.
That this state of affairs is scarcely established in the
people’s consciousness is not least to be ascribed to the political-media complex. Yet
hostility to Christians also enters where there is no state persecution of Christians,
not least in Europe. The excesses of Islamic hostility to Christians reach us
also: In France, the Interior Ministry alone in 2021 counted more than 800
anti-Christian criminal acts of which around 150 were spoliations of church
buildings. France threatens to become a Menetekel. What is usual there will
also overflow into neighboring countries like Germany. Just this week, an
Islamist again committed an attack in a church – in a Spanish church: He
murdered a sacristan and wounded a priest.
The German-Israeli author Chaim Noll deems that Europe needs
to watch over its churches as we now already need to watch over our synagogues.
The Isis beheading video ends with a view which shows the sea drenched with the
blood of Christians. Mosebach writes of that – cite:
Many perpetrators of political violence in the past 100 years have hoped that a new world and new rectitude would come forth from streams of blood
In regards these perpetrators of violence, it is primarily a
matter of communists. There are still today Communist states. In China, North
Korea and Cuba, we encounter in any case massive persecution of Christians.
Yet the political-media complex is not interested in
solidarity with our brothers in faith throughout the world. Instead, it
participates in the hostility to Christians, somewhat like Claudia Roth
demanding the removal of the Bible verse from the cupola of the Berliner
Stadtschloss.
Peter Heidt (FDP): That must come!
In that regard, scarcely any religion is so peace-loving as
Christianity with its rejection of worldly vengeance. Thus, religious
minorities live nowhere so unmolested as in Christian countries. It is time
that we demand such a freedom from fear [Unbelligtsein]
for Christians worldwide.
Rasha Nasr
(SPD): That you happen today to put such a motion! A disgrace!
