The problem is that the alternative to tolerating them is to lock them up for expressing their opinion. It's already illegal to claim the holocaust never happened. What specific, actionable policies would you put in place?
- verelo 11y agoThinking about your point, I'm curious about how to determine the line between these groups and terrorist organizations. How do we tell the difference and why is it OK to lock one up but not the other?
- boards2x 11y agoThat's exactly my point. It's terrorism. But when it's not initiated by muslims it's simply never called that.
- kaybe 11y agoThat is not true. Germany has a long history of extremism and terrorism from the left and right side of the spectrum. The only thing missing is the international context, so there is no war against terror, for example, and the discussion is usually not global since there are no wars to fight in other countries since it's all homemade. Other European countries such as Ireland or Spain have had their fair share of local terrorist groups as well.
