Sarrazin, a board member of the German central bank until he resigned under pressure Thursday, has divided the nation by postulating the theory that Germany is being “dumbed down” by Muslim immigrants and their children. Wielding statistics and scientific arguments both in his book and in public comments, he delves into territory largely taboo here since the Holocaust, suggesting that “hereditary factors” are at least partly to blame. Turks and Kurdish immigrants, he asserts, are genetically predisposed to lower intelligence than Germans and other ethnic groups, including Jews. … many Germans have rallied to his side as the central bank and his political party have sought to oust him for his pronouncements.

Minnir um margt á upphaf tuttugustu aldar í Evrópu, þetta múslimadæmi, nema auðvitað að gyðingar eru múslimar og hagkerfisítök eru hryðjuverkasamtök og trúarbókstafir. Munurinn er sá að gyðingar voru farnir að blandast evrópubúum meira í gamla daga með giftingum milli trúarhópa, sem hræddi málsvarsmenn hreins blóðs, en múslimar eru nú ásakaðir um að vera of sjálfhverfir og innilokaðir. Þetta er auðvitað hluti af stórtækri andíslamskri stemmingu í ríkari löndum Evrópu. Það verður spennandi, en ekki endilega fallegt, að fylgjast með framhaldinu.
