Sauerkraut, Sündenbock & das Kopftuch

Du weisst, du bist in der Bananen Republik, wenn es wieder einmal um ein Tuch geht.

Nächste Runde
Berufungsprozess zu Berliner Kopftuchurteil

Der Rechtsstreit einer muslimischen Lehrerin um das Berliner Kopftuchverbot geht in die nächste Runde. Vor dem Landesarbeitsgericht Berlin-Brandenburg wird heute geklärt, ob das Berliner Neutralitätsgesetz die Muslimin benachteiligt.

Inquisitive Gemüter könnten an 'The Politics of the Veil' Gefallen finden und ebenso hier.

Vorwort

Convening in a church’s basement daycare center, a British Christian group holds a “how to” workshop on heckling Muslims who lecture in London’s Hyde Park Speakers Corner. After hearing that half the Dutch Muslims don’t speak the language, the Parliament of the Netherlands, a country known for centuries of religious and political tolerance, debates whether such individuals should be compelled to take Dutch language classes. And in the German Bundestag, politicians contemplate forbidding imams from preaching in Arabic. But it is in France where public protest and government sanctions against Muslims first took hold.

Wer weiter vordringen will, dem sei A. Douglas' exzellenter Post 'Immigration and Scapegoating' empfohlen. Als Sündenböcke halten Muslim doch bestens her. Keine Ahnung, wie die Schnarcher am Gericht diesmal ihre Aversion verschleiern.

Badiou: 'Das Kopftuch Gesetz drückt eins aus, Angst.'

Warum Angst? Weil sie schuldig sind, aber als unschuldig gelten wollen. Schuldig in ihrer Verhaftung an billigen Privilegien.

Aus Polemics von Alain Badiou:

43. In point of truth, the headscarf law expresses only one thing: fear.  Westerners in general, and the French in particular, are no more than a bunch of shivering cowards.  What are they afraid of?  Barbarians, as usual.  Barbarians both at home, the ‘suburban youths’, and abroad the ‘Islamic terrorists’.  Why are they afraid?  Because they are guilty, but claim to be innocent.  Guilty from the 1980s onward of having renounced and tried to dismantle every politics of emancipation, every revolutionary form of reason, every true assertion of something other than what is.  Guilty of clinging to their miserable privileges.  Guilty of being no more than grown-up kids who play with their many purchases.  Yes, indeed, ‘after a long childhood, they have been made to grow up’.  They are thus afraid of whatever is a little less old than they are, such as, for example, a stubborn young lady.

44. But most of all, Westerners in general, and the French in particular, are afraid of death.  They can no longer even imagine that an idea is something worth taking risks for.  ‘Zero deaths’ is their most important desire.  Well, they see millions of people throughout the world who have no reason to be afraid of death.  And among them, many die for an idea nearly every day.  For the ‘civilized’, that is a source of intimate terror.

Wikipedia über Badiou und dort heisst es u.a.:

Kulturelle Unterschiede sind nur auf touristischer Ebene interessant. Wirkliche Unterschiede erschrecken die Apostel des Rechts auf Unterschied. Der Andere wird nur akzeptiert, wenn er ein guter Anderer ist, also uns ähnlich. Daher ist der Multikulturalismus unehrlich.
