British tabloid The Sun referred to the sitcom's prophecy on its cover, showing Homer shocked by the turn of events, reacting with his catchphrase, "D'oh! There are numerous parallels to be drawn with the US president — but the fictional character is also a serial killer. Some commentators hoped Trump would soften the tone he used during his campaign once he took office. On this Time magazine cover, illustrator Tim O'Brien used fine paintbrush strokes to depict Trump's chaotic first weeks in the White House.
After Trump's inauguration, the New Yorker commented on the childish behavior of the man who would from then on be steering the country.

The British weekly The Economist was inspired by Banksy's famous artwork of a rioter throwing flowers for last February's issue. It reacted to Trump's first weeks in office, when he "lobbed the first Molotov cocktail of policies and executive orders against the capital's brilliant-white porticos," wrote the magazine's editor, adding, "With Trump, chaos seems to be part of the plan. A cartoon figure of Trump holding a bloodied knife and the Statue of Liberty's head: The cover of German weekly Der Spiegel made headlines worldwide.
It reacted to Trump's "America First" policy and his threats to democracy, including his executive order to bar people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the country. The cover divided opinions within the country and abroad. It's both a challenge and a goldmine for satirists: Trump's politics and habits are often more bizarre than satire itself. On this cover, Mad magazine commented on the White House role given to the president's daughter Ivanka and to his son-in-law and presidential adviser, Jared Kushner, who was morphed into the traits of the magazine's iconic mascot, Alfred E.
After a far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, a participant drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing a woman and injuring 19 people. Trump then declared that there were "very fine people" marching with the white supremacists that day, a comment which drew praise from former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke. The Economist reacted with this cover. The German weekly Stern went one step further by unsubtly portraying Trump draped in the American flag and giving a Nazi salute.
It drew sharp criticism from the Central Council of Jews for belittling Hitler's crimes. Misappropriating Nazi symbols is taboo in Germany. In early August, Newsweek magazine depicted Trump as a fast food-eating, bored TV junkie — descriptions also found in the book "Fire and Fury. Donald Trump is bored and tired. Imagine how bad he'd feel if he did any work," the issue also pointed out that during his six months in office, he had spent 40 days at golf clubs, but had seen zero pieces of major legislation passed. Trump likes to describe any media criticizing him as " fake news," but he's also renowned for his own twisting of the truth.
This fake Time magazine cover praising Trump's TV show "The Apprentice" in was framed and on prominent display in at least five of his golf clubs. When the story came out last June, it felt like the perfect embodiment of Trump's narcissism and lies. Twitter went wild after the fake Time magazine cover story came out. Thousands of memes poking fun at Trump were created using the magazine's iconic template. This one photoshopped the Person of the Year issue to turn Donald Trump into the "Russian bride of the Year," commenting on Trump's questionable Russian ties.
An American dropped the word "Nazi" during a spat at Frankfurt Airport. Police say it was directed at them and are suing her for slander.

The figure stands at 17 percent in Switzerland and 14 percent in France. Overall, Muslims are among the most rejected social group. Muslim refugees who arrived in Europe after were not surveyed for the study. Sulaiman Wilms, editor of the Islamische Zeitung newspaper, told DW that the media hadn't drawn as much attention to the latest incendiary remarks as to earlier controversial statements by Gauland and Weidel.
He says that media are only just now waking up to how far to the right the AfD , originally founded in as an anti-EU party, were from the very start. Top Merkel aide says far-right AfD profit from press coverage.

Mazyek sees the populists as the direct heirs of the extreme right-wing nationalist fringe parties of the past like the National Democratic German Party NPD. I said years ago that the AfD was drifting further and further to the right and would try to subsume the NPD. The party is most popular in the eastern part of Germany, where the fewest Muslims live. Ironically, given the AfD's depiction of Islam as a monolithic entity, Muslims in Germany, of whom 1.

It describes voting in the election two days later as a religious duty. Co-chairman Alexander Gauland said the German national soccer team's defender Jerome Boateng might be appreciated for his performance on the pitch - but people would not want "someone like Boateng as a neighbor. Alice Weidel generally plays the role of "voice of reason" for the far-right populists, but she, too, is hardly immune to verbal miscues.
Welt newspaper, for instance, published a memo allegedly from Weidel in which she called German politicians "pigs" and "puppets of the victorious powers in World War II. Weidel initially claimed the mail was fake, but now admits its authenticity. German border police should shoot at refugees entering the country illegally, the former co-chair of the AfD told a regional newspaper in Officers must "use firearms if necessary" to "prevent illegal border crossings.
The head of the AfD in the state of Thuringia made headlines for referring to Berlin's Holocaust memorial as a "monument of shame" and calling on the country to stop atoning for its Nazi past. Initially, the AfD campaigned against the euro and bailouts - but that quickly turned into anti-immigrant rhetoric. Pretzell, former chairman of the AfD in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and husband to Frauke Petry, wrote "These are Merkel's dead," shortly after news broke of the deadly attack on the Berlin Christmas market in December The member of parliament in Germany's eastern state of Saxony made waves in early with an inquiry into how far the state covers the cost of sterilizing unaccompanied refugee minors.
Thousands of unaccompanied minors have sought asylum in Germany, according to the Federal Association for Unaccompanied Minor Refugees BumF - the vast majority of them young men. Poggenburg, head of the AfD in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, has also raised eyebrows with extreme remarks.
In February , he urged other lawmakers in the state parliament to join measures against the extreme left-wing in order to "get rid of, once and for all, this rank growth on the German racial corpus" - the latter term clearly derived from Nazi terminology. The German term, "entsorgen," raised obvious parallels to the imprisonment and killings of Jews and prisoners of war under the Nazis.
Gauland was roundly criticized for a speech he made to the AfD's youth wing in June Acknowledging Germany's responsibility for the crimes of the Nazi era, he went on to say Germany had a "glorious history and one that lasted a lot longer than those damned 12 years. Hitler and the Nazis are just a speck of bird shit in over 1, years of successful German history. Set to enter parliament, the AfD's main appeal is its opposition to Angela Merkel's open-door policy toward migrants.
Germany's far-right scene has always been complex, disparate, and overlapping.
Berlin refugee home stirs neighbors' anger
Here's DW's guide to the main entities - from official political parties to fringe movements. An alliance of German Islamic organizations has surveyed the country's main political parties on a range of issues they say concern Muslims, from refugee policy to circumcision. All the parties answered — except one. Today 37 MPs and one in ten voters have a migrant background. Could they swing the election? One week before the German election, the latest voter poll has put the far-right AfD barely ahead of the other "small parties. Is ostracizing the Alternative for Germany really the best strategy?
There are studies that claim that the religion of Islam is essentially against Judaism? Do you agree with this theological position?

Islam emerged in an environment in which major religions already existed. The birth of a new religion is always seen as a critique of the old religions. Its very existence is a statement that says, "Well, the old religion is not good enough; otherwise why would God reveal a new scripture that corrects or nullifies what is currently practiced?
German Muslim leader says anti-Semitism is a sin. At the time of Islam's birth in Arabia in the seventh century, all established religions resented it and attacked its prophet. The Quran records their criticisms and their attacks, and it replies with attacks of its own, criticizing Jews and Christians and believers of the local religions, whom it calls "mushrikun," or "those who join" other deities with God — i.
So, yes, the Quran does contain negative references to Jews, but not only about them. It talks negatively about other threatening communities I should add that it also contains positive references to Jews and Christians, although not to polytheists. The important point is that the Quran and the early Muslims did not criticize Jews exclusively. We must not forget that the same scenario played out with the emergence of Christianity. The Jews resented those who claimed that Jesus was the Messiah, and especially that he was God's incarnation. And the New Testament criticizes Jews in response to attacks on the new community.
Similarly, the Hebrew Bible Old Testament slams the older religions that were clearly against the Israelites. European anti-Semitism is imported. During the early phase of Islam, Muslims and Jews coexisted peacefully. When did the rifts begin to appear, and were the reasons more political than theological? As I said, there were always tensions between Muslims and Jews over the authority of their respective faiths.
It was both a political matter and a theological issue. When Islam became the dominant power, like all pre-modern and non-democratic powers, it privileged the people it identified as its own over all others. Therefore, while Jews and Christians were considered citizens of the Muslim world and protected by the law of the land including religious law, the Sharia , they were given a second-class status that was defined by restrictions in position, prestige and freedom.
How this actually worked out in history varied from time to time and place to place. In some situations, Jews were treated essentially as equals, but in others they were persecuted severely.
Nationwide register for anti-Semitic offenses in Germany — commissioner. Explanations such as mine should be understood in a context. Keep in mind that minority communities were not treated equally under law or custom in pre-modern, non-democratic regimes. All historians agree that, on average, Jews suffered more under Christian rule than they did under Muslim rule. The Prophet Muhammad's time in exile in the city of Medina provides some great examples of Muslim-Jew coexistence, but at the same time violent conflicts marred their ties.
How do you see that phase of Islam, and do the events in Medina, in which the Jewish tribe of Qurayza was said to have betrayed Muhammad, shape present day "Muslim anti-Semitism"? The tensions, and the violent conflict that eventually broke out between Muhammad and the Jews of Medina, have become points of heavy stereotyping on both sides. A separation between the two communities has grown over the years.
Jews were accused of betraying their equal religious and civil status in Medina by trying to aid an enemy intent on destroying Muhammad, and even of trying to assassinate him. As a result, the Jewish communities of Medina were forcibly exiled, and one Jewish community was massacred.

Many Jews and Christians point to this period as a prime example of what they consider the fundamentally violent behavioral norms exhibited by Muhammad that are established in Islam. Many Muslims point to this as a prime example of how Jews are, by nature, deceitful, corrupt and can never be trusted. There are mixed accounts of those events, and we have no Jewish versions of the story. What is tragic about this is that an incident a millennium and a half ago has become a tool for some radicals in both communities to try to vilify and defame the other.
Although both Judaism and Islam are Abrahamic religions, why do they appear to be so far apart?
