Merkel allows prosecution of German comedian who mocked Turkish president
By Rick Noack April 15 at 9:30 AM
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has cleared the way for the prosecution of German comedian Jan Böhmermann, whose poem mocking Turkey's president has become the centerpiece of a clash between Germany's free-speech traditions and the government's efforts to safeguard its important relations with Turkey.
In a news conference Friday, Merkel emphasized that it will now be up to German courts to decide whether Böhmermann is guilty of insulting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. But critics including members of her own government have described it as a betrayal of values protecting open expression.

Merkel is creating the conditions for war against Germany again.
If Germany becomes a country dominated by hostile Arab ethnic interests, it will be once again a threat to Europe and the United States.
She does this at extreme risk.
Heil Merkel!
Gestapo Raids, why does she hate free speech?
Heil Merkel
Berlin Gestappo Raid Hate Speech Dissidents
Posted 12 November 2015 — Berlin police say they’ve raided 10 buildings in the German capital as part of a crackdown on far-right hate speech on social media networks.
Police said Thursday that the morning raids involved 60 officers, who confiscated smartphones and computers as evidence, which are now being evaluated. They didn’t have any immediate information on arrests.
They say the raids are part of an ongoing investigation into hate speech spread over social media meant to incite people against asylum-seekers and refugee housing.
Berlin’s top security official, Frank Henkel, says authorities “won’t turn away if racism or incitement is being spread on the Internet.”
He says that the authorities alone can’t police hate speech online and appealed for social networks themselves to combat it more effectively.
Turk = muzzie = latest solid voting and contribution block, and to hell with Germans.
This is what happens when you don’t have a Constitution with a first amendment.
The German people have stood for this before.
so... “free world”, huh?
yes... if Germany gets hijacked, it stands to get punished twice. by the hijacking itself, and by the international reaction against the menace the hijacking created.
He went on to call the poem a “serious crime against humanity” that had “crossed all lines of indecency.”
...................................................
Erdogan and his murderous Turkey are a “serious crime against humanity.”
How Nazi of her.
Just as you couldn’t mock Erich Honecker back in the DDR

This isn’t suicide. It’s genocide.
The EU globalists are doing this to Germany and Europe, but also to all of us. Europe was once a beautiful place with lovely remnants of history. All that will be wiped out by the invaders. Destroyed. It’s a travesty over humanity.
Germans can’t help it, apparently.
There actually some nitwits at the WaPo commentary saying the comedian crossed line. Know why? ....he made some comments about Erdogan THAT WEREN'T TRUE!!!
That's the way people i.e. liberals think. We're talking about a nasty politician, Erdogan. The comedian didn't threaten Erdogan...he said he might have performed some sexual acts involving animals. And for that he should be arrested.
If that goes through, no politician can ever be satirized again. Of course, this is simply erstwhile spineless libs giving in to fascist dictators. Libs are licking their chops hoping to prosecute conservatives for saying bad things about King Barck.
Better a Crusade than a ransom.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a cross-dressing lesbian pretending to be a man.
So up yours, Merkel!
Ahh, ...yes.
