Islam conference: search for an opponent with authority

One goes together to the opera stucco (cf. Cheap search for a boy toy) – at least the intention has been to. But it is not yet clear whether the opera visit will take place. Nothing substantial or concrete was to be expected from the two-hour kick-off of the multi-year islam conference, but nice gestures showing good will and sending clear counterpoint signals to the public: that an unhysterical, constructive culture of dispute is possible in a dialogue with muslim representatives. In the sum remains a "good feeling" after yesterday’s event at charlottenburg palace. And that is already a.

It has been demanded constantly and for a long time, the public dialogue with "the muslims". In concrete terms, this was only known from talk shows on television, and there the dialog usually followed predefined patterns, which the "general suspicion" here and there provided. The discussion, even if it had the question of faith as its content, usually narrowed down very soon to the question of the responsibility of violence in the name of islam, from which the muslim representative had to distance himself clearly. The representative of the muslims then usually quoted a passage from the koran, which should clearly show that islam is a peaceful religion. One of the four other discussants came up with a passage from the koran, which should clearly show that islam is a warlike religion. What was important in the public sunday evening dialogues was the correct "correct" positioning, the content mostly phrase.

Nothing is still good in afghanistan

The bundestag decides on the new afghanistan mission and the government submits a progress report "progress report" the situation is gloomy

Today, the bundestag will decide on the one-year deployment of the german armed forces as part of the nato mission in afghanistan "resolute support mission" for training, advising and supporting the afghan national security forces in afghanistan. The approval of the further deployment of up to 850 german soldiers to help the afghan security forces in their mission to afghanistan has not been mentioned "security responsibility" can be amed to be a combat mission. The mission, the additional cost of which is estimated at 282 million euros, is not limited to training and advising, but also includes military security.

Nato currently seems to have taken a liking to words that are supposed to signal determination. The "resolute support" in this respect joins the anti-is coalition’s operation inherent resolve. It is emphasized that this is not a combat mission: "nevertheless, there may be combat operations in exercise of the right of self-defense, to protect one’s own troops or designated civilian forces." this is also foreseeable in view of the further deterioration of the situation in afghanistan. This is precisely the reason why nato soldiers should remain in the country even after 13 years. Afghanistan needs further "the support of the international community", to, as it says, "to consolidate the successes of the past decade in creating effective security structures".
