German banker who believes in 'Jewish gene' get death threats on Facebook

But isn't Sarrazin an ancient Jewish name? His family must have been Jewish, no?

Jews from the Mid East have the same as DNA as Jews from Europe. So big deal. Absurd overreaction.

biologically no, but Jews have a distinction , love of family, learning, are not as murderous as some others, charity and love of the arts. I love that in my kids

Apparently, Sarrazin's controversial membership in the executive board of the Bundesbank has thus become a non-issue. Now, he's still member of the SPD. I hope the socialdemocrats too will be able to get rid of him.

Whatever he said about jews is nothing compared to what he said about muslims. why does one sentence about jews make as much headlines as a whole book declaring muslims are culturally --> racially inferior? and ellus, the fact that there is no bad word about jews in the book doesnt make it any less disgusting and despicable. this does nothing to further the integration of people who came here because germans wanted them to come and who are here to stay.

Do those who are making the threats do so because they can't stand his intolerance?

This is just sickening. A man cannot even state his opinions in his own country without non native citizens threatening to legally destroy his life or with violence. How about jews and muslims having as much say over what goes on in the white west as I would have as a goy in Israel or a Christian in the muslim world. I am so tired of ethnic aliens being put on a pedestal. You are guests in our countries.

all those hyseric reaction from people who have not even read the book and take fragments out of contex! there are even studies in israel and the US about the "abrahamic-gene". the jews are the first once to vote for a "genetic" pass of judaism through the mother! The way this man is ripped in peaces is a shame. for the first time someone is brave enough to say what is deeply wrong in europe! without beeing politically correct, so what? we DO have a problem with our fellow muslims, and we have let the fundamentalism grow. Lets hope it is not too late for all of us!

and now, he faces death threats. Point made.

success? if you look at statistics, his comments about both groups is accurate...

sarrazin has to pay the price, before the world condemnes Germany.

during all our existence as jews we never forget to emphasize how much different are we from all the others, and that , based primordially on the fanaticism, inflicted upon us the miseries no other nation had and have to face, but now we play offensed when someone not necessarily antisemitic says us in the face that we are different.

to settle scores with their political opponets. The Thilo guy took on muslims, 'pets' of the leftists activists. This is not Jewish fight. No indication the Thilo guy is anti semitic. All indication that left and muslims are antisemitic.

This is saddening. For someone with a high ranking and demanding position, he seemed to have missed his history class. Go back to the basics of banking and you'll find out who paved the way to its usage.

Sarrazin has demonstrated about as much knowledge of genetics as Eli Yishai (who stated that one can only get Jewish genes upon orthodox conversion - not reform conversion). These two jokers should marry and have children, they will be just brilliant!

60% of the german population agree with Sarazin, when he says, foreign people are not integrating into society. There is nothing discriminating, its just a fact. I live in a city, where 1/3 is from foreign countries, mainly Turkey. So i know what he is talking about. They live in own parts of the city, only speak their own languages and live their traditions. So I think if someone wants to live in Germany he should learn our language and respect our religion and traditions. The only thing which was very irritating was the comment, that jews share a unique gene. But he did not say that this is something bad. He appologized for being misunderstood, so I think the media should say that before blaming him as a racist. In focus on foreign people in Germany, who are not integrating, he is just telling the truth.

He sure might be a bad writer but what he says in his book is correct. German proms like Merkel, Gabriel, Westerwelle hate to listen - because that would mean to implement consequences.

I too don't understand the problem here. I have read several articles about jewish genetics, how some genes are common with kurds, armenians, palestinians etc. The authors have to do a better job of clarifying what he exactly said and why it's offensive.

If what Ellus is saying is true about this "Jewish Gene" being Intelligence, then how is it an insult? It should be a compliment to be known as smart. The "Immigrants" should feel offended.

They only are when the perpetrators are Nazi.

...look at his picture it is enough. he needs to stay alive and suffer his suffering

Or at the very least - Jewish McCarthyism

Of course Jews possess a "Jewish Gene". This is true for practically all ethnic groups, or else they would not have looked different from one another. This in itself is not anti-Semitic. Nor would it be racist if Sarrazin said that Germans possess a "German Gene". I was told that the author did not claim that the German Gene is superior to other genes, in which case he is not racist either. It appears that Sarrazin complains of the non-assimilation (or very slow assimilation) of Muslims in Germany's culture. Such a complaint can be valid if he has supportive proof. In any case, Jewish paranoids don't need to get into this fight. Sarrazin is not aiming particularly at the Jews.

Why is the fact suppressed, that Sarrazin says, that Jewish people are more intelligent than the Germans? There is no single bad word abaut Jews. Read the book!
