I'm sorry, but my German is limited to what I picked up watching old war movies - what does "nicht einmal unheimlich" mean?

[muawiyah]

It means, more or less, that "he's not even sinister". Hannah Arendt said that referring to Adolph Eichmann in the dock.

It has to do with the Banality of Evil.

There are libraries of books on the matter.

I think it's nothing short of mind-boggling that Schiavo has allowed a newspaper article to come out showing just how "banal" he really is.

BTW, if you want to discuss evil in this world you need to read Hannah Arendt as well as the Mahabarata (which was written several centuries ago in India).
