Swastikas, Bats, Racism Spread All Over Europe

Neither sociologists can understand growth of Neo-Nazism, especially in countries which fought this ideology in WWII.

In the age of democracy, European countries are fighting racism and Neo-Nazism. While Italians think that zero tolerance towards Romani people is necessary to stop crime, German Neo-Nazis are going wild and attack Muslims. 

Homophobia, in fact, rules in Germany, and some people are convinced that Turks are coming to steal their jobs and that they do not respect the country they live in. For this reason, Turks are frequently the target of Neo-Nazi gangs.

Neo-Nazis use the internet to propagate their ideas, and every year, unfortunately, they have more and more supporters.

Young Neo-Nazis take example from politicians 

According to sociologists, too many years have gone by since the Second World War ended for teenagers to have Hitler’s poster on the walls of their rooms. Sad but true, European countries are closer to a growth of Neo-Nazism and racism. However, only a third of the cases are brought to court, and young felons are not behind bars. Actually, this is not so strange, considering that many of these people see a model in political leaders to nourish their ideas.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi publicly called Romani people a pest which lives of the work of the Italian people. Recently, Slovenian ultranationalist Zmago Jelincic shocked the West with his statement that the word “Cigani” (gypsies) is the appropriate word for Romani people. Serbian politicians Nikolic, Dodik and Seselj never spare words in insulting Romani and Croats. Seselj, in fact, on one occasion said that Croats are only slaves of the Serbs. French President Sarkozy could not control himself when he called immigrants ticks.

Teenagers among the leaders of ultranationalist groups 

Those who lead ultranationalist movements, whose aim is to “cleanse” their countries from foreigners, are mainly those who know things about WWII only from historical books.

- Who wants an immigrant as neighbour? – wrote a Czech Neo-Nazi internet site-

About a month ago, 20 Russian skinheads were arrested for a series of brutal assaults against people from former Soviet Union. Their leaders, a student of art, said that he had killed over 30 foreigners and added that the city has to be cleansed of foreigners.

Nevertheless, the police set up, in the first five months of the year 2008 there have been 232 assaults due to xenophobia and hatred, including 57 murders. The shocking thing about this is that most of the criminals have remained unpunished.

Last years in Russia, 600 were the victims of racist assaults, and only 20 people have been arrested.

Wilders insulted the whole Muslim people 

Neither sociologists can understand growth of Neo-Nazism, especially in countries which fought this ideology in WWII.

Dutch politician, Greet Wilders, raised a turbulence of emotions when, in a 15-minute film, he managed to insult the whole Muslim people. He compared the Koran with Hitler’s Mein Kampf.

The eternal battle between the Christian and Muslim civilisations, is often cause of the excesses of teenagers in Nazi uniforms, who propagate ideas, which most of them known nothing about.

Aim – desecration

Often these controversial thinkers aim at desecration. For instance, you can often see Nazi sings drawn on Muslim or Jewish graves. A similar case took place last year in Poland where over a hundred graves were desecrated.

Recently in Croatia, young school boys and girls took pictures with swastikas and placed them on their year book. Thompson’s concerts can not go by without accidents, almost every time you can see young people wearing Ustasha caps.

As long as every civilisation believes to be superior to others, children on the streets attack their coevals, and although western countries allegedly fight Neo-Nazism and racism, there is still no motion.
