Look, we've got idiots, too!

I always feel bad for laughing so much and so gleefully at US idiots and being glad that we didn't have many comparable people over here, but now I can proudly present this guy. A person who thinks that Jewish people are smarter because of genes and Muslims are lazy and stupid and it's impossible to integrate them, among many other points that make the mind boggle.

He decided it'd be a good idea to give a BBC interview. If I can be bothered I'll supply choice quotes later.
  • "The lack of economic and integrational success of the Damascan people are due to cultural features which are due to the Muslim faith."
  • "Most of them [Arabs and Turkish people] don't feel discriminated against."
  • "If you're discriminated against if you wear a headscarf that's your own choice. [...] You could as well live in the United States or in Turkey." 
  • "The Turkish woman which lives in Germany told me some weeks ago, 'Please don't take these mental aggravations seriously, oriental people tend to play with their emotions and love to raise guilt in others.'" 
  • "I have alienated nobody. I have just stated facts, and that's alienating nobody."
  • "I think if the United States would be better off if they were careful with having two different languages in one country."
So, to sum up, we have a powerful white male German saying, "You Muslims are stupid underachieving welfare leeches, possibly because of genetics, but I'm going to mumble a bit over that point. If you're discriminated against, you're exaggerating because of your emotional nature or have chosen the bed you lie in and are welcome to move to another country if you don't like that. Gee, why don't you people integrate better and insist on keeping to yourselves?"

Bezeichnend finde ich auch, dass es so eine rechte Rotte schafft, das Buch auf Amazon.de in den vier-Sterne Bereich zu pushen. Wenn ich mir mal schlechte Laune machen will, brauche ich mir nur ein paar Userkommentare durchzulesen.

Ja. Die Vorstellung, wie viele Menschen diese Meinungen haben und es nicht sagen ist gruselig.

Never fear, I'm sure our idiots will continue to take the top prize for both scope and numbers. I swear, there's something in the water over here.
