New Arab Magazine in Germany

New Arab Magazine in Germany

Abwab – the Doors in Arabic – is a new magazine in Germany aimed at its Arabic migrant population. In one article, they mention racism, especially also against Rroma, and explain the German sensitivities on this topic due to their Nazi past.

Unfortunately, it does not address the fact that many of those new migrants share biased views against Rroma too, even when these are Moslems.

First News … Bad News from Hungary

On the first day of the year, there is good and bad … And the bad, while still having happened in 2015 says that there is work still to be done.

In Gyöngyöspata, a village in North Eastern Hungary, a Rroma house was set ablaze. It is the sixth time this year, and no culprits have been arrested. This is not acceptable!

Rroma Baby Dies in a Fire in Greece

A Rroma baby died in a fire in a camp in central Greece. While we regret this death, the reporting and the lack of background on the subject further the standard stereotypes – all Rroma are poor, live in camps, etc…

Following the stabbing of an African migrant after a dispute with a Rrom, a riot started and there were fights in the street between Rroma and Africans in the town of Roquetas del Mar.

BAD …

More Crime … Geneva

A sordid story of a mal prostitute from Romania and his client and violence. The prostitute slit the throat of the client in whose flat he was living, killed the dogs and torched the flat.

OK, it is crime. What is the relevance here of the fact that the two criminals were Rroma? Does it add anything or does it just strengthen stereotypes?

No Racism???

Not acceptable. Gilles Bourdouleix’ condemnation for racism for having said that “Hitler probably did not kill enough of them” has been slashed. The reasoning from the judges is quite special: He did not intend these words to be made public… But he told them, so he is certainly racist.

SHAME AND PROTEST!!!!

France; Saint-Genis-les-Ollières – again

In spite of protests by the mayor and by the town’s residents, the French state ordered the continuation of the works for the so-called insertion village for Rroma. The opposition of the residents is totally overblown and shows what people actually think about Rroma in France.

Racist Statements

Racist Statements

A new book by Tanja Kambouri in Germany, entitled “Deutschland im Blaulicht. Notruf einer Polizistin” [Germany in blue light. Emergency calls of a policewoman], contains statements that are simply not acceptable. The book states for example that “Sinti und Roma sind meist Großfamilien mit fehlender Bereitschaft, sich zu integrieren” [Most Sinti and Roma are large families that show no readiness to integrate].

SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE … This shows a clear lack of understanding of the Rroma minority and clear racist prejudices.
