German cabaret artist on Islamophobia (w/ english subs)

German cabaret artist Hagen Rether talking about Islamophobia in German media & public discourse.

Aired on ARD television, December 29th, 2007.

Some explanations on the allusions made in the video:

- "a guest of friends" is the literal translation of the motto of the 2006 football world championship in Germany
- Henryk M. Broder is a German journalist who wrote a book on what he perceives to be the Islamisation of Europe called "Hooray, we're capitulating!"
- A "Hauptschule" is a secondary school which mostly students with bad grades in elementary school go to afterwards.
- Ralph Giordano is a Jewish Holocaust survivor and well-known writer who recently started to speak out (among other Islam-related topics) against the construction of a mosque in Cologne.
- (Wolfgang) Schäuble is the German minister of the interior
- "grabbing one's own nose" is a German proverb meaning that you have to deal with your own mistakes before you can criticise others

@TheDASChris erstens , es gab auch 300.000 muslime aus Algerien Marokko Senegal die mit frankreich gegen die Nazis gekampft haben . Amin al-Husseini hatte kontakte mit den Nazis weil er dachte dass die Deutscher den Krieg gewinnen werden und den palastinäsen von den Britischen koloniesierung befreien werden . zweitens auch wenn paar muslime mit den nazis gekampft bedeutet nicht dass alle muslime genauso sind . sonst wären alle Christen wie Hitler ,Stalin oder G.W Bush .......

@IranBaan Er ist der Idiot weil du nicht verstanden hast um was es geht?

Es geht um den makaberen mit dem Islam als Ganzes und somit auch dem Umgang an modernen, liberalen Muslimen, die nur ihr Leben leben möchten.

Wenn du das nicht verstehst dann halte bitte s'Maul und fühle dich als Idioten beschimpft.

What is new ISLAM gave to world which came hundreds of year later than other religion.All what is in Quran is already Bible or Judaism Text..my Belief...there is only religion can be class three:-

Primary Religion are HINDU......which is goes Buddhism, Jainism and other related religion. They where far before any religion really existed.They speak about spirituality rather conversion and violence.

Secondary . Jewish extending to Christianity.. as it goes hand in hand...

Tertiary... Islam.

Dieser ignoranter Idiot hat keine Ahnung weder von Islam noch Muhammad oder Koran und glaubt dass er sehr witzig sei. Fast alles dass er macht ist Islam wiedrig. Ohne Bart Sünde, lange Haare Sünde, Zuschauern gemischt, Sünde. Klavier anfassen, grosse Sünde. Nicht spienlen, allein ein Musikintrument zu besitzen ist genau so ein Sünde wie schlafen mit eigene Mutti. Das is Islam und die gesetze sind nicht zu ändern. War das witzig? Ich weiss was ich sage. Ich war mal ein Muslim.

@musicalnights .... at least you admit you're a nazi..& together with the EDL and JDL you can hold hands and imagine that yr world view would be 'superior'. But in these times the bar is exceedingly low. However u r confused in yr belief that 1.5 Muslims are at war...it is THEY who are being attacked, bombed, and plundered, all done in the guise of homeland protection. You've got it backwards.

send him to Iran or Afghanistan... tell him to live a month... compare democracy in Germany and demonocracy there... he is able to speak here openly.. ask him can he do it there similar ... by criticizing Islam just as test to see they response...he will be screwed...... thus... I sure... third world war will be only started by Islam ... i do not buy his talk... i agree for nazis point...

@Regnal64

You need to read history in a bit more detail. During the Crusades and Spain, there were Europeans fighting Europeans, Europeans fighting for Arabs, and it was almost always to do with getting wealthier and powerful.

That's what war has always, and mostly been about. Just because some misguided people like you, and Islamists keep going on about wars, doesn't qualify you to claim knowledge.
