Dr. Gottfried Curio is a member of the Bundestag for the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany). The following video shows a recent speech by Dr. Curio in the Bundestag.

It’s quite bracing to hear such clear, well-articulated truths spoken on the floor of a European parliamentary assembly. As far as I know, nothing similar has been spoken in any parliament west of the Iron Curtain, not in the UK, not in France, and probably not even in Denmark.

Video transcript:

00:10 Dear Mr. President, dear members: we see religiously motivated mobbing of

00:14 other-faith students by Muslim classmates. We see the degrading treatment of women

00:19 leading to jealousy-fuelled murders, honour killings, forced marriages and

00:23 child marriage. We see Muslim terrorists screaming “Allahu Akbar”. We see liberal

00:27 Muslims being persecuted and threatened with death: Ates, Abdel-Samad, Rushdie.

00:32 Founded by the highest Islamic authorities. What is the common background?

00:38 Is there a quasi-natural inclination towards violence? By no means. This hatred, this

00:44 disrespect, this low threshold to violence is learned. This criminality is ideologically

00:50 legitimised, culturally practiced through instructions, invocations. Invocations from

00:58 the founding document of a religion. However, anyone who believes Islam is

01:02 only a religion has misunderstood. It is also a social order and an ideology with an

01:10 affinity for violence, which divides the world into two. There are the higher worthy

01:14 believers and the inferior infidels who are to be fought. Several instructions in the Quran

01:18 call for crimes. We hear calls for war. Quran 8:39 — “And fight with them until there

01:23 is no more fitna [disorder] and all praise is only for Allah. He sent his

01:27 messengers with the ‘true’ religion to conquer all the other religions. Kill

01:31 them wherever you find them”. Or violence against women: “When women rebel, beat

01:37 them”. This includes marital rape: “your women are for you a seed field, go to your

01:42 field when and how you want”. We hear religious discrimination. “Allah curses

01:49 the unbelievers and for them prepares the flames.” Which includes incitement of hatred:

01:54 “the unbelievers are the worst of the creatures, worse than livestock.” —Mr. Curio,

02:00 Mr. Curio will you allow a question? — No. As long as such fundamental laws and

02:04 punishments —you’ll have the opportunity to answer shortly, please listen to the

02:08 presentation first — contradict our constitutional and criminal laws, they are

02:12 not protected by freedom of religion. This by no mean terminates the other laws and

02:18 obligations, for instance fidelity, and rightly so. To point out the punishability of such a

02:23 texts would be a first step. Or should such incitement now become a school subject?

02:28 That’s how new recruits are produced, right in front in front of our eyes. Are we going

02:32 to allow the full “veiling” for our own constitutional law? Ladies and gentlemen,

02:36 Ladies and gentlemen — Mr. Curio are you generally refusing to allow questions? —Yep.

02:45 With millions of Muslims in Germany, tens of thousands of Salafists, potential Islamist

02:50 attackers who are radicalised as early as childhood, these texts jeopardize the peace,

02:56 and the much-demanded societal cohesion. Two-thirds of European Muslims consider

03:00 the Quran’s regulations more important than national laws.

03:05 Our demand to stop the spread of such unlawful content gives the population a

03:09 legal certainty of societal cohesion which is essential. In its unrestricted form, Islam,

03:18 indivisible from its sharia, does not belong to a constitutional Germany.

03:30 The idea of freedom of religion does not contradict our demand. Freedom of practice

03:35 of religion is not a license to break laws. Polygamy, child marriages, forced marriage,

03:42 honor killings, homophobia, inferior worth and breeding of the woman, anti-Semitism,

03:46 persecution of Christians, stoning, beheading, holy wars, all find their justification, their reason

03:50 in the instructions of Islam. Whoever propagates such illegal incitement makes

03:58 himself punishable. His religious origin does not change anything. By the

04:03 way, polygamy is not only illegal; it is also antisocial. When the “new” citizen brings

04:07 his second and third wife to Germany, the “old” citizen is expected to finance that with

04:11 a second and third job. Ladies and gentlemen, the individual Muslim may

04:18 emancipate himself from an anti-constitutional corset, but Islam itself,

04:22 as a social order, essentially undermines our constitution as well as the human

04:27 rights charter. It is not integrable into our value system. Even the Cairo Declaration

04:32 issued by Muslim countries states there are no crimes or punishments other than

04:37 those stipulated in the sharia. And the democratic deficits in Islamic countries

04:41 aren’t coincidence, but compulsory. Turkey was a democracy as long as it was not

04:45 under Islamic control, but since it was re-Islamised under Erdogan, not coincidentally it

04:51 ceased to be a democracy. OR, or do you just interpret it in a different way?

04:58 No. The incitements in the Koran are directly god’s words. Therefore they are absolute,

05:03 immutable, and not relativized by interpretations. The Koran says there is no

05:09 one who can change the words of Allah, and the simple Muslim doesn’t interpret;

05:14 He hears the words. Is this only about Islamism? No. Erdogan said

05:19 there is no difference between Islam and Islamism. Islamism is applied Islam. Islam

05:26 does not belong to Germany because it can not belong to our constitutional state.

05:30 A tolerant Islam is western wishful thinking. Euro Islam, German Islam, Democratic

05:35 Islam are empty fantasies of round squares and square circles. — Rabble-rouser!

05:42 A study among Muslim students in Lower Saxony shows 27 percent consider sharia

05:48 to be better than German laws. 19 percent believe it is the duty of every Muslim to

05:52 fight unbelievers and spread Islam around the world. 8 percent for the expansion of

05:58 ISIS. 4 percent agreed with terror attacks. Contempt for others of another faith is the

06:04 exact mindset from which terrorism develops. Those who radically reject the

06:08 lifestyle of a society because they consider it sinful are more likely to commit acts of

06:14 violence against it. Anis Amri felt his actions were legitimate through the Quran.

06:18 Quran-trained in school! The same Islam distributed by the Salafists.

06:24 Imagine if this were some media that endangers minors in which the killing

06:30 game being offered was REAL. No Muslim should be radicalised or allowed to feel

06:34 legitimised for violent crimes acted out by laws whose dissemination should no

06:39 longer be allowed in Germany. This is your responsibility now. Whoever votes against

06:43 this proposal isn’t voting against the AfD. You are voting against the constitution and acting

06:47 against the security of our citizens. There are people, there are people who want to

06:57 suggest violence in the name of this religion has nothing to do with this religion. Aha.

07:02 So whoever screams “Allahu Akbar” while murdering doesn’t really mean Allah then.

07:06 Denying the characteristic causes is more important to them than the victims,

07:10 more important than hounded homosexuals, more important then beaten Jews, more

07:14 important than women murdered by knife-wielding slashers. These texts are not

07:18 harmless as their impact shows. Merkel’s invitation policy has imported hundreds of

07:22 thousands of Jew haters to Germany despite the Holocaust and despite all those

07:26 swearing “Never again”. Such adulation of anti-Semitism is disgraceful, Mrs. Merkel.

07:38 So is that Merkel’s motto: “After me, the sharia”? Everyday knife violence, fear

07:44 rooms for women, mobbing for Jews and German school children, growing NO-GO

07:50 areas. None of this was happening before Merkel. If Merkel thinks that Islam belongs

07:57 to Germany or that it belongs to the rule of law in Germany, then we say Islam belongs
