front of a good three-quarters of a century was the German people by an insane fanatic tempted intolerance recognized as a top priority, as a deadly program to celebrate.
After the bitter awakening '45 was recognized gradually, how big the debt was the they had loaded up, and the urgency it would be to turn away from the maximum of intolerance to the contrary.
And as is now the German people in its very own nature always strives to do things more thoroughly, developed not simply just a tolerant people, no - the Germans gave birth to the Tolerantismus.
Tolerantismus means that their interests are seen not only equal to those of others, but that their interests are virtually denied if you could limit those of other nations or communities.
In daily life this means that in a German school rather Crucifixes be removed, because people are not bothered by it the Christian faith, but that head scarves will be banned.
Tolerantismus also means that Muslim students can only ride to court the right to prayer during school hours, because the interest of the German people for integration is one less.
Apart from the fact that I believe religion and faith anyway do nothing more than this world constantly in need and new misery to fall, I see the same danger when Tolerantismus.
Tolerantismus is also a kind of fanaticism, a form of voluntary limitation of one's thought and his own ability to judge a form of abandonment of common sense from the right measure.
But how Germans have plenty of experience so yes, chasing deranged demagogue - whether they call themselves "Hitler", "Benedict XVI" or "Imam some other way" - we will, as usual, blindly running into disaster.
