  • Weiteren Asylrechtsverschärfungen, wie etwa restriktiveren Regelungen für Rückführungen, der Kürzung von Sozialleistungen für Geflüchtete, der Absenkung von Schutzstandards, einer Ausweitung der sicheren Herkunftsstaaten, Schnellverfahren an Außengrenzen, der Unterbringung von Flüchtenden in Außengrenzlager sowie der Zurückweisung von Flüchtenden in vermeintlich sichere Drittstaaten dürfen weder die grünen Minister*innen in Bund und in den Ländern noch grüne Fraktionen zustimmen.«

    Es ist aber auch einfach komisch sowas zu fordern, wenn der aktuelle Antrag der Grünen quasi genau das Gegenteil steht. Hier der Antrag.

    Weniger “sichere Herkunftsländer”, bzw komplette Abschaffung des Begriffs. Keine Kürzung der Sozialleistungen. Längere Gültigkeit von Aufenthaltstitel und Arbeitsgenehmigungen. Mehr individuelle Betrachtung bei Ausweisungen.

    Ich verstehe die Aufregung gerade nicht? Geht es darum dass sich die Grünen dafür aussprechen, dass massiv straffällig gewordene mit Asylstatus ausgewiesen werden können? Ist das wirklich eine unpopular Meinung in der Grünen Jugend?



  • Am Dienstag hatte Sanders auf seiner Website ein Statement zur Gewalt in Gaza und Israel veröffentlicht. Darin kritisierte er die Taten beider Seiten. Israels Blockade des Gazastreifens und der Lieferstopp von Nahrung, Wasser und anderen lebensnotwendigen Gütern seien ein “schwerer Bruch internationalen Rechts”.

    Das Aushungern eines Landes und Bombardierungen ziviler Infrastruktur zu kritisieren geht natürlich auch entschieden zu weit.

    Ernsthaft wtf? Israels Reaktion zu verurteilen heißt jetzt man unterstützt damit automatisch Hamas?

    Schade, hatte damals eigentlich echt Respekt vor der Frau aber hier ist sie glaube ich n paar mal falsch abgebogen.















  • That’s literally what freedom of religion means though. To be able to express your religion in both public and private, without the state interfering. Every EU country has committed itself to the “EU Guidelines on the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief”. Freedom of religion does not mean that people are free to follow their religion behind closed doors or in places that you or the state allow them to practice it.


  • You left a whole bunch of other stuff out when it comes to the discussion about secular states.

    Yes I didn’t quite the entire Wikipedia page, but I think my quote should already point out the incompatibility between banning religious clothing and committing yourself to secularism. Just to be clear: I brought up the idea of secularism in context of the state pushing religion on its people. I wouldn’t even use it as an argument in this case. The best argument to make here is that France as a member of the EU has committed itself to freedom of religion and thus should have no say in how people dress in their public and private life. There have been valid exceptions (such as banning covering your face at protests, banks etc.) for safety reasons, but this clearly doesn’t apply here.

    Yes you’re right, imposing your views on others, does cross the line of a secular state. No one is asking that students have to cover their hair, it’s only demanded that they are allowed to do so. Equally crossing the line is the opposite, the state forcing it’s belief onto it’s people, by telling them they can’t express their religion in the form of religious clothing.

    It goes beyond your private life and touches laws and values that are part of the state.

    Apart from me mostly agreeing that the religious practices you mentioned suck, it doesn’t matter if it goes beyond your private life. Freedom of religion, me as you are free to express you religion in private **and public. ** You’re free to dislike it, but that’s what it is. Seeing people wearing Burkas, prayer beeds, crosses or whatever does not impact your freedom, even if it makes you uncomfortable. As I already mentioned, laws are a different issue. Of course religion is not above the law and of there are valid security concerns such as covering your face in a bank or a protest, there is no reason why the law should interfere with religion. A person wearing a dress at school, is definetly no such concern.


  • The abaya isn’t just a headscarf, though. It only leaves the face uncovered and I have seen kids who also additionally cover parts of their face with it.

    I just googled it and it’s literally a fucking dress. Sure it’s often combined with a headscarf or (I guess this is what most people have a problem with, a Niqab), but how can you tell women (and often also men) not to wear a dress?

    You’re right about the homeschooling (not so much on the private schools, but that’s not really relevant to the point), but that doesn’t stop religious radicals to pull their kids from schools so they can better indoctrinate the kids themselves. This was a common problem during the pandemic, where parents who didn’t agree with the state policies pulled their kids from school and it’s a common problem in counties where homeschooling is legal (like the US), where strictly religious or conservative parents pull their kids from school because they’re learning about gender identity and receive sex education.

    Personally I think we need to do more to push back against conservatism, not less.

    Something we agree on for once. I’m not religious and I hate to see religion being pushed on to kids. However, I’m a all a strong believer in democracy and the freedoms it gives us. That dies mean though, that we have responsibilities as well. You can’t pick and chose when to apply the rules we set up for a better world and when not to. The EU has committed itself to the “EU Guidelines on the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief” and we can’t throw that out of the window, because we don’t like how Muslim people dress.
