Hasnain Kazim

Hasnain Kazim wrote that he could understand the excitement, speculation, and debate surrounding the election of the President of the State Parliament in Saxony-Anhalt. If one were to ask a participating politician about their voting behavior, they should, in his opinion, refer to the principle of secret voting. #SachsenAnhalt #Politik #Wahlen (translated)

Hasnain Kazim wrote that his grandmother would have turned 105 years old on that day. Mariechen and her husband Erich had taken in his mother, who was heavily pregnant at the time and had just joined her husband, Kazim's father, from Pakistan. His grandmother had cleared a room in her house in Rastede; a few weeks later, Kazim was born in Oldenburg. He wrote that he had from the very beginning had a grandma and grandpa and remembered both as wonderful and warm-hearted people. #Erinnerungen #Familie #Liebe (translated)

Hasnain Kazim remembered the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. At that time, he arrived by bicycle in Heidelberg and heard discussions about the attack in the marketplace. The terror had strengthened his resolve to stand against extremism. He described the attack as the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Kazim wrote that religiously justified restrictions and violence had occupied him since childhood. He had experienced, among other things, the outrage over a joke by Rudi Carrell about Khomeini, the persecution of Salman Rushdie, and the deaths of more than a dozen acquaintances, friends, and colleagues at the hands of Islamist extremists. He had also found statements that praised Hitler or Osama bin Laden to be profoundly unbearable. Since October 7, 2023, he has observed that Hamas terrorists are celebrated in Germany as well. In Berlin-Neukölln, people distributed candies after the massacre. Kazim also criticized the fact that some young people appeared with keffiyehs and pro-Palestinian slogans without understanding their political and historical significance. He wrote that Hamas fighters and bin Laden are portrayed on TikTok as representatives of the oppressed or as opponents of capitalism. At the same time, Kazim warned of extremists demanding mass "remigration" and threatening people who appeared foreign or Muslim to them. He accused the political center of not rejecting Islamism and the glorification of terror decisively enough and of ceding the political space to others. He did not want to live in a society where extremists set the tone, nor in one where Sharia law prevailed and religious authorities dictated people's lives. Kazim also referred to the vulnerability of people who could be identified as Jewish, as well as the need for protection for restaurants, kindergartens, schools, places of worship, and diplomatic missions. This was neither resistance nor criticism of the Israeli government, he wrote. In conclusion, he commemorated the victims of October 7, wished healing and peace for the injured, and called for the defeat of the terrorists. #Terrorismus #Extremismus #Frieden (translated)

Hasnain Kazim wrote that Friedrich Merz is being heavily criticized by both the far-right and the far-left for his visit to Ukraine and his policies there. This initially inclined him to automatically evaluate Merz's policy positively. Upon closer inspection, he actually considers Merz's actions in Ukraine, his statements, and his signals to Russia to be good. #Politik #Ukraine #Merz (translated)

Hasnain Kazim criticized that political standards for the claim to govern are applied differently depending on the party. When the AfD became the strongest force, many argued that it should not automatically govern as long as other parties could form a majority. In contrast, the Left Party, which became the strongest force in Berlin, justifies its claim to govern with a "government mandate," Kazim wrote. Those who question this are portrayed as part of a right-wing campaign against Red-Red-Green and personally attacked. For comparison, Kazim pointed to more than 43 percent for the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt and just over 25 percent for the Left Party in Berlin. Democracy appears, depending on the election result, to be interpreted differently, he wrote. #Demokratie #Politik #Wahlen (translated)

In their primitiveness, malice, and although not in this case, yet in unfortunately more and more other cases, left-wing extremists hardly differ in their correspondence to me from right-wing extremists. The same rotten wood. https://t.co/MNE0v4C6YW #Politik #Extremismus #Debatte (translated)

Notiz an mich selbst: Video speichern, weil es sich eignet, im Deutschunterricht gleich mehrere Redewendung und Begriffe zu illustrieren. "Jemandem in den Arsch kriechen" zum Beispiel und "eine Steilvorlage liefern, etwas zu verharmlosen". Und: "Journalismussimulation". #Deutschunterricht #Redewendungen #Bildung

Sehr lesenswert: "Die Linkspartei, von der sich Issa Remmo endlich erfolgreich integriert fühlt, sagt jetzt, sie habe ihn nicht eingeladen. Das stimmt vermutlich, aber das ist nicht der Punkt. Ein Issa Remmo wartet nicht darauf, dass er eingeladen wird. Er zeigt sich, wenn er das für richtig hält, und wenn er das tut, dann will er damit etwas sagen. Im Zweifel, dass er hier der Boss ist. Er war schließlich auch nicht nach Deutschland eingeladen worden, und doch hat er hier sehr erfolgreich eine kriminelle Organisation aufgebaut. Der deutsche Staat und seine Justiz haben sich zwar bemüht, ihm das Handwerk zu legen, sie haben zwischenzeitlich sogar kleinere Erfolge verzeichnet. Am Ende aber hat es nicht gereicht, auch nicht dazu, ihn des Landes zu verweisen. Stattdessen patrouilliert er jetzt in Kreuzberg und Neukölln." https://t.co/RWNL7JDAIO #Linkspartei #Integration #Kriminalität

Wissen Sie, was mich zwar nicht verwundert, aber doch fertig macht? Dass dieselben „Kulturschaffenden“, die die Erzählung „Es sind nicht alles Nazis in der AfD“ kritisieren und zu Recht sagen, solange diese Partei sich nicht von allen Rechtsextremisten trenne, dürfe man mit ihr nichts zu tun haben, selbst das Narrativ „Es sind nicht alles Antisemiten in der Linkspartei“ jubelnd hinnehmen oder sogar selbst verbreiten und überhaupt nicht finden, dass diese Partei sich erst einmal von allen Islamisten und Terrorsympathisanten trennen muss, bevor man irgendwann, in ferner Zukunft, etwas mit ihr zu tun haben kann. Doppelmaß. Irre. #Politik #Gesellschaft #Doppelmoral

Welch Wunder … Dass die Linkspartei sich von diesem Typen distanziert, indem sie behauptet, die Wahlparty sei eine öffentliche Veranstaltung und jeder könne kommen, mag ja stimmen. Nur fragt sich natürlich, warum dieser Typ ausgerechnet zur Linkspartei kommt. https://t.co/NFyYzYzbye #Linkspartei #Wahlparty #Politik

Es ist mir ein Rätsel, wie manche deutsche Journalisten schreiben, „Macklemore“ habe sich „propalästinensisch“ geäußert. Und mit keinem Wort erwähnen, wie er sich tatsächlich geäußert hat, nämlich antisemitisch. Spätestens wenn man Bilder dieses Auftritts sieht, sollte einem das klar sein. #Journalismus #Antisemitismus #Macklemore
