The part either you or the sources you read are leaving out is that they are also anti-democratic and not just anti-Islamic terrorism but also anti-Islam. Or more precisely just generally racist.
You either read sources that fell for their bullshit downplaying self-description or you are actively trying to play down their harmful views yourself.
And skimmed right past the parts where it says they are also climate change deniers, pro-Russia, anti-Muslim, nationalistic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-feminist and this part
In early March 2021, most of Germany’s major media outlets reported that the Bundesverfassungsschutz had placed the whole AfD under surveillance as a “suspected extremist group”.
?
Maybe you should scroll a bit slower next time.
Yeah, probably. I should’ve put a little more time into it before commenting.
TBH, I have very little knowledge on Germany’s political scene, I only ever really hear about AfD and how Germany’s hate speech laws are abused. Also the Volkswagen emissions scandal. Kind of an irrelevant country at this point, they can’t even meet their NATO obligations.
Maybe you belief German Jews than:
The President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany Josef Schuster expresses deep concern about the AfD’s high poll numbers.
“The right-wing extremist party currently has nationwide support that I would not have imagined even in my nightmares, and this causes me serious concern,” said Schuster in an interview with Web.de.News.
The AfD is ‘largely nationalist, racist, and ethnically exclusive,’ and it ‘clearly also embodies Nazi ideals,’ added the Central Council President. ‘If a party like the AfD were ever to be part of a federal government, one would have to seriously consider whether Jewish life is still possible in Germany.’
Schuster recalled that Charlotte Knobloch, a Holocaust survivor and President of the Munich Jewish Community, said in 2006 that the Jews in Germany had finally unpacked their bags.
‘That statement was absolutely accurate at the time,’ he said. ‘Today, one or two people are already looking in the attic where they stowed the empty suitcase, so they can have it ready to hand again.”
Stop making broad claims just because you read one article on Wikipedia.
Do you really belief such protests on an unprecedented scale are happening all over Germany (my country) because the AfD doesn’t like terrorists?
Yeah, probably. I should’ve put a little more time into it before commenting.
TBH, I have very little knowledge on Germany’s political scene, I only ever really hear about AfD and how Germany’s hate speech laws are abused. Also the Volkswagen emissions scandal.
I’m basing my judgement off of some Americans protesting for Hamas, thinking that protestors are sometimes really stupid.
