German paediatricians warn against fasting during Ramadan – From a medical point of view, fasting would be harmful for children and adolescents

Muslims around the world celebrate the month of Ramadan. This means that nothing may be eaten or drunk from sunrise to sunset. A 15-year-old boy from Brunsbüttel in Schleswig-Holstein also followed this rule. He held out for a week, then was too weak and collapsed on a pavement. Two women were able to come to the teenager’s aid.

The women, aged 41 and 55, found the boy lying unconscious on the street in Brunsbüttel on Monday and called 911, according to police on Tuesday. By phone, they were guided in resuscitating the boy. By the time the ambulance arrived, the women had managed it: the boy was back in a stable condition. He was taken to hospital.

According to the police, the 15-year-old boy from Syria had already been fasting for a week, according to his parents, and had apparently collapsed for this reason.

Doctors repeatedly appeal to Muslim parents not to let their children fast during Ramadan. From a medical point of view, fasting is harmful for children and adolescents, especially the lack of fluids, explained the President of the Professional Association of Paediatricians and Adolescent Doctors, Thomas Fischbach, in the medical portal “aerzteblatt.de”. According to Fischbach, paediatricians and adolescent doctors repeatedly spot very pale and unfocused children during Ramadan. “Some come to us straight from school because they have collapsed, because they have a severe headache or stomach ache,” says the paediatrician.

Migration researchers criticise the Hessian Ministry of Education’s warning about showing cartoons of Mohammed in the classroom – It is “unacceptable surrender to political Islam”

Migration researcher Ruud Koopmanns has warned against false consideration in dealing with Mohammed cartoons. He criticised a recommendation by the Hessian Ministry of Culture warning school headmasters that showing such images could have serious consequences. “No teacher will dare to show the cartoons after reading the letter,” he told the newspaper Welt am Sonntag. He called for the focus to be on the educational mission in democracy. Other opinions and statements must be tolerated.

Already in December, the ministry had warned that there were disturbing “indications in connection with the thematisation of the murder of the French teacher Samuel Paty”. He was beheaded by an 18-year-old Islamist in France on October 16. The teacher had previously shown cartoons of Mohammed in class. The perpetrator had felt offended by this.

The ministry warned that dealing with the caricatures in school lessons could lead to serious, legally relevant reactions from physical assaults to serious acts of violence, in addition to expressions of displeasure.

Previously, the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) had announced that showing the Muhammad cartoons or any pictorial representation of the Prophet could be interpreted as behaviour critical of Islam and could have a radicalising effect. The LKA had come to this danger analysis after reactions of pupils during a minute’s silence for the murdered teacher. Although there were no “concrete indications relevant to the danger”, the LKA believes that it makes sense to “deal with this topic in a de-escalating manner in the educational process”.

Koopmann criticised that the Hessian Ministry of Culture’s concession rewarded perpetrators and mocked the memory of Paty and other victims. This would promote intolerance towards criticism of faith. According to the newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Susanne Schröter, an Islamic scholar from Frankfurt, also called the recommendations an “unacceptable capitulation to political Islam”. The president of the Bavarian Teachers’ Association, Simone Fleischmann, reported that some colleagues no longer wanted to use the cartoons. ” There is fear.”

The Ministry of Education responded to the criticism and stressed that it was important to be able to deal with such situations preventively and, if necessary, intervene. In other federal states such as Hamburg, Berlin and Lower Saxony, students had also shown their lack of understanding during the minute of silence, justified Paty’s murder and threatened violence.

Asylum seekers in Denmark can be sent 700km away – to Rwanda

People who immigrate to Denmark illegally and seek asylum will soon be transported 700 km away and placed in a Danish asylum centre in a Central African country.

For several years already, the Danish government has sought a country that is willing to accept immigrants seeking asylum in Denmark, while the asylum process is being processed. Jyllands-Posten announced that the African country Rwanda was ready to receive Denmark’s asylum seekers. Denmark’s integration minister Mattias Tesfaye said they were negotiating with several countries, but did not want to confirm whether Rwanda was one of these.

According to the Danish daily, Rwanda’s president Paul Kagame could be “the man who fulfils the Social Democrats’ asylum dreams’. The news came on April 1, but in Denmark there were few people who thought it was an April Fool’s joke. The Danish Social Democratic government has for several years had a very restrictive line on immigration and has also initiated an active return policy of Syrians. The government has been open about wanting to sign a bilateral agreement with another country, to receive Danish asylum seekers so that they removing them from Danish society while their asylum status is being investigated.

The government is currently said to be negotiating with several different countries on the issue. Jyllands-Posten, which is Denmark’s largest daily newspaper, seems to be at the forefront of advocating that Arab and African asylum seekers be sent out of the country. In the article, the newspaper writes that they themselves have contacted several countries requesting a piece of land to be able to build an asylum centre where asylum seekers are deported pending investigation.

Libya and Morocco have declined, but Rwanda says it is positive

“Rwanda already has facilities for asylum seekers and we appreciate the cooperation with Denmark in this area. We are open to more cooperation and new proposals, which can lead to offering suitable conditions for asylum seekers “, the Rwandan embassy responded to Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark and Rwanda’s cooperation in the area of ​​migration policy has been ongoing for several years. Among other things, Denmark has donated SEK 21 million to a project where refugees who are stuck in Libya on their way to Europe are instead transported to Rwanda. Last year, Denmark received 200 quota refugees from Rwanda. For several years, Denmark had refused to accept quota refugees at all, but it was resumed on a smaller scale a few years ago.

Whether the Danish government will actually sign an agreement with Rwanda is still unclear, but Integration Minister Mattias Tesfaye writes in a comment to Jyllands-Posten that Rwanda was a “progressive” country that played “an incredibly positive role”. He also confirmed that negotiations were underway with current countries, but did not want to reveal whether it was Rwanda.

“We have identified a handful of countries, where we see opportunities to enter into cooperation. Based on that, we will move forward with more concrete dialogue. For the time being, we would like to keep these conversations confidential,” he told the newspaper.

Rosa Lund, integration policy spokesperson for the left-wing party Enhetslistan, was furious and tweeted that she was “very worried”: “Rwanda is not directly known for its democracy. I am very worried about locating a reception centre there, when we could instead open all closed asylum centres in Denmark.”

Rune Möller Stahl, a researcher at the University of Copenhagen, pointed out that the Kagame government had attacked refugees in the Congo in the 1990s and killed tens of thousands. “Are we sure he is the one we want to outsource our refugee policy to?”

Meanwhile, Social Democratic Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that it was obvious and logical that Syrians who come from areas in the country that can now be considered safe enough to stay in should of course return home. According to the newspaper Jyllands-Posten, it is about hundreds of Syrians who in the coming months will return home to, above all, Damascus and surrounding areas. Prime Minister Frederiksen also engaged in some self-criticism and said that Danish refugee policy should have been clear and unambiguous from the outset.

In the coming months, Denmark will be the first EU country to start repatriating Syrian asylum seekers coming from the Damascus region. The areas around the capital are now considered by the Danish government to be so safe. On Tuesday 13 April, the PM made a statement that can not be understood in any other way than that the return policy was self-evident, surprising for a Social Democratic Prime Minister.

“For me, it is completely obvious and logical that they return home if the areas they came from are safe enough for that.” She continued: “I completely share that analysis! If you are a refugee, but no longer meet the requirements for protection needs and you are no longer personally persecuted, then you should go home, as simple as that.”

She also added that the Syrian asylum seekers should perceive it as a patriotic duty to return home to their homeland and use any skills they acquired during their stay in Denmark to rebuild their homeland.

A man of Lebanese origin has to stand trial before a German court for allegedly supporting the IS – His brother is a leading member of the IS

An ex-member of the banned terrorist organisation “Islamkreis Hildesheim” will stand trial at the Higher Regional Court in Celle on Monday, April 19, 2021. The 38-year-old is accused of supporting the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS). His brother is said to be a high-ranking member of the terrorist militia.

According to the public prosecutor’s office, the accused is said to have supported the terror militia via Germany for years, reports the news agency dpa. According to the report, the brothers belonged for a long time to the now banned German-speaking Islamkreis Hildesheim – an association that is said to have encouraged numerous people to join the terror militia under the leadership of the now convicted preacher Abu Walaa*.

The accused is said to have substituted for his brother in Germany after his departure with a general power of attorney as an “asset manager” and to have aided him logistically and financially. He sent several thousand euros as well as smartphones and tablets to Syria through middlemen, according to the indictment.

As the news agency dpa further reports, the accused is also alleged to have organised the departure of the brother’s wife with their four minor children to Syria. The 38-year-old has been in custody since the end of July last year.
