The co-chief of Germany's far-right AfD Joerg Meuthen said on Monday that he would not seek to continue as head of the eurosceptic and islamophobic party.

After six and a half "incredibly challenging" but also "enriching" years, Meuthen said in a statement that he would "no longer bear the role of federal spokesman" for the party.

Formed in 2013, the AfD first won seats in the German parliament in 2017 but lost ground in elections at the end of September this year.

Despite topping the poll in two former east German states, the party received around 10 percent of the vote nationally, down two percentage points on its previous result.

A phobia is an irrational fear.

Islam is a religion dedicated to the subjugation, conversion or killing of every one on earth.

Seems rational to fear that.

Far Right: someone who doesn’t think their entire population and culture should be replaced by unscreened violent and disease ridden third worlders with no history or desire of advancing human knowledge of the universe

I am fascinated by the different handling of die Linke vs the AfD, even though the AfD has far fewer troubling ties than die Linke (descendent of the SED, the governing communist party of E. Germany).

It is also fascinating to see how Merkel shifted the CDU/CSU so far left that the rise of AfD as the outgrowth of the year of Pegida became inevitable.

That's not how Muslims practice their religion in Germany.
So you are back to phobia.

Keep sleeping.

The penalty for leaving Islam is death.

Islam is evil.
