Is the music nearly over in Germany?
American Thinker ^ | 28 Apr, 2026 | Eric Utter

Exploring the report out of Germany that Muslims are driving the ban of music in schools.

Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, recently stated of President Trump and the United States, “An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards. And so I hope that this ends as quickly as possible.”

I myself have questioned Trump’s endgame strategy, insofar as Iran’s leadership, such as it is, is simply never going to negotiate in good faith.

Even if an agreement is reached with Iran in the wake of U.S.-Israel military action, whatever it may be, Iran will not honor it.

However, if its nuclear program is significantly disrupted and set back, and the rest of its military greatly degraded … and therefore its sponsorship of various terrorist groups greatly curtailed, we can legitimately call it a win and go on with life.

Once proud Germany, on the other hand, is embarrassing itself with great repetitiveness of late. Unwilling to take the side of the Americans against the world’s premier sponsor of terrorism, its leaders preside over a flagging military, sagging economy, ever-growing antisemitism, and French-like ennui.

Worse, the nation is allowing itself to be invaded by hordes of military-aged men from North Africa and the Middle East. And, like much of the rest of Western Europe, it is therefore getting summarily destroyed -- economically, culturally, and morally.

To wit: a recent report out of Germany, and a post on ‘X’ citing it, seemed to indicate that a Hamburg public school system may have banned music lessons because the growing population of Muslims there consider them “haram,” or forbidden.

“Factchecking” websites were quick to debunk the story.

For example, leadstories.com claimed that the German news report was really about a joint statement against intolerance and exclusion

Angela Merkel has moved quickly to overrule her new interior minister hours after he declared that “Islam does not belong to Germany” and as cracks in her fragile coalition government began to appear.

She said that the religion of Germany’s four million Muslims did indeed belong to the country despite the view of Horst Seehofer, a senior figure in the Christian Social Union party in Bavaria, her conservative ally.

Banning music now? Well, sure.

Dr. Peter Hammond did a study on how Muslims behave as a percentage of the population. An important point from that study:

The tipping point occurs once Muslims reach around 5% of a population. That’s when they cease to be quiet neighbors. They start to demand more and more - not ask but demand. And they will include threats if they don’t get their way.

———

Germany is now roughly 7% Muslim.

So this is more evidence that Dr. Hammond knows what he’s talking about.

Oh, and one more thing. The threats mentioned above become real when Muslims are at around 10% of the population. We see that now in the no-go parts of Paris.

🙁

It seems to me that the West, including the US, has done all it can to neuter male citizens while giving the bulk of power to emotionally driven women. The result is obvious, a passive population with crazy Karens in the lead.

That leaves the West as perfect prey for aggressive, motivated muslims. This isn’t going to end well.

They are finished.

They have been for a while.

The few percent of people that actually are Christian and German (funny how that party calls itself the Christian Democratic Union) get muted/censored, marginalized, over ruled.

Ban Islam. That should be a no-brainer

Islam at its core calls for a theocracy. Because Mohamad was a despotic leader, and Islam spread through conquest and oppression.
It doesn’t help that Islam is an idiotic made up system of belief.
Contrast this with Christianity (which the left hates). Jesus never led an army or ruled a country. He said “my Kingdom is not if this earth”.
Yet the godless left loves Islam because they hate their own societies and embrace their enemies.
And we have a whole education system and moronic elites like King Charles teaching that “diversity is strength”.

Ok then should we be welcoming nazis, the KKK, how about those people that committed suicide to get on the comet that was passing? (Hale Bop?)

Exactly right. The feminization of Western culture drives virtually every one of its festering problems.

No more Bratwurst, Schweinebraten or Schinkenspeck. And then they'll come for beer and wine.

Public parks in Germany are filled with feral africans that harass passers-by.

It is unsafe for women to walk virtually anywhere.

When was that? 1939? 1941?
