The accusation was hard. In March 2017, the author Zana Ramadani, CDU member and a former Femen activist, denounced a “betrayal of women”. “Left-wing gender feminists” to be a part of the “Islamists lobby”, showed a “remarkable level of ignorance” to Islam. Very much the militant was Ramadani: In one of the Femen declared “Topless Jihad Day” they painted themselves with slogans such as “Fuck Islamism” to the skin and climbed on the fence of the Ahmadiyya mosque in Berlin. Her book, in which you reported about, is called “The veiled threat”.

Some months later, the “Süddeutsche Zeitung countered,” and asked, in your culture, “such As Islam is an enemy of feminism?”. Women’s magazines such as “Emma” and women’s rights groups, such as “Terre des Femmes” betrayed the cause of women and played the right-wing populists in the hands. Apparently, the view of Islam as an engine of social Evils was not to be found “only in the case of right-wing conservative, Identitarian, or the AfD.”

Alice Schwarzer, the editor of “Emma”, kübelt for many years against Islam. Especially, the head scarf has it done to her. It was an Outpost of the global violence against women. In Switzerland, in turn, feminist, voted in large numbers for a minarettbau ban. It was said in the “daily newspaper”, many feminists no longer can be distinguished thanks to their “enemy image of Islam” from the Right.

A crack goes through many groups

The phenomenon is not limited to women. Also in the case of Homosexuals and Jews, Islam pushes criticism to the echo, which emphasizes humanistic and liberal values, the rights of minorities are protected, against anti-Semitism, homophobia and clothing rules apply. A crack passes through groups whose members were themselves affected by discrimination and.

The first prominent Gay, moved against the Islam field, was a Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn. He was for a cold war with Islam, he said. “The Islam I see as an extraordinary threat, as a hostile society.” In may 2002, Fortuyn was shot by a environmentalist.

Anne-Marie Waters, in turn, a lesbian British woman, who was a candidate in 2017, as Chairman for Ukip, wore four years ago, at a Demonstration in Bristol, which had been organized by a group called “Gays Against Sharia”, a rainbow banner with the Slogan: “Help us to stop the growth of an evil, hate-filled ideology.”

Even more drastic, the British Blogger and former “Breitbart”-editor Milo Yiannopoulos, who founded the movement “Gays for Trump,” and as a spiritual son of Steve Bannon is expressed. Germany and Sweden, Yiannopoulos had become by refugees of Europe “rape Central”.

“The current biggest threat to our society”

As the “Young Alternative”, the youth organisation of the AfD, in last July, and justified why they wanted to participate in the CSD (which was denied), she wrote: “Who actually need to be for the rights of Homosexual admission, will be able to detect the currently the biggest threat to our free society: the growing influence of radical Islam.”

In October, was observed medially, precisely, the group “Jews founded in the AfD” (JAfD). As the main subject, you said the “uncontrolled mass immigration” of young men from the Islamic cultural circle. These are anti-Semite socialized. Immediately distanced themselves from the Central Council of Jews in Germany and other Jewish organizations of the JAfD. Also, the large Women’s rights and Gay organizations condemn the collaboration of feminists and Homosexuals with right-wing populists. The crack that goes through the groups, cleaves only a small part.

Nevertheless, the attraction that emanates from a liberal and humanist arguments well-founded right-wing populist ideology is not to underestimate. As a kind of link Islam to act occasionally, critics such as Seyran Ates, or Hamed Abdel-Samad, who turn against each political collection, but in appearances before the FPÖ or AfD the audience there is Islam belonged to the critical arguments. Because they are threatened by Islamists, to get both the protection of people.
