Targeting Muslims
In the state of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany (LifeSiteNews.com, Jan. 3), Muslims who request citizenship in Germany are given a lengthy interrogation. Muslims must affirm “gay” rights, women’s equality, topless beaches, etc. If they fail the test, bye-bye citizenship.
Is this some left-wing loyalty oath? No, it’s a centrist loyalty oath. Brigitte Lösch, a leading member of the left-wing Green Party in the Baden-Württemberg parliament, has called for the government to drop the loyalty oath. (If you’re a Catholic and want to have citizenship in Germany, you’re not given a loyalty oath.)
The Netherlands is reportedly considering the same kind of loyalty oath.
The Catholics in Germany and the Netherlands are harmless; they’ve given up on “gay” rights, unisex and abortion, and topless beaches long ago. But the Muslims: They’re a real threat to the libertarian order.
