I certainly understand how Constantin Schreiber feels, having been through all that myself, but he has just encouraged more threats, smears and intimidation by demonstrating that they work.
“German journalist says he will stop criticising Islam after spate of threats,” by Peter Caddle, Brussels Signal, September 14, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A high-profile journalist in Germany has announced that he no longer intends to discuss or criticise Islam after a recent spate of threats levelled against him.
Constantin Schreiber, an author and journalist working with the state-operated Tagesschau TV news programme, has written a number of books on the religion and his work has been compared to that of French author and poet Michel Houellebecq.
In an interview with Die Zeit, Schreiber said he wanted to leave that chapter of his life behind after receiving numerous threats over his discussion of Islam.
“I will no longer comment on anything that has even the remotest connection to Islam,” he said.
“I won’t write any books about it, I turn down talk-show requests, I won’t do it anymore. Some people might celebrate now and maybe open the bubbly bottles.”
Schreiber cited a number of menaces and verbal attacks on him as the reason for dropping the topic, describing how several of his colleagues had lambasted him as being far-right.
He also talked about receiving abuse from members of the public, with one taxi driver threatening him after picking the journalist up from his workplace.
“Now I know where you live!” Schrieber described the cabbie as saying, adding that the experience was “scary”.
The journalist is far from the first public figure to drop their discussion of Islam amid threats of violence….

It was very courageous of him to write honestly about islam. The death threats from the evil, barbaric Muslims are completely predictable. It is their usual totally barbaric and evil way of dealing with any criticism. Free speech and islam don’t go together. Civilised life and islam do not go together and they never have.. I hope this author stays safe and can continue to live a reasonably happy life despite the threats from the barbaric scum.
somehistory says
Death threats work and mozlums know that only too well.

Tim, SomeHistory, I wish that I could disagree with you but you are spot on.
somehistory says
Thanks, Ray

Not only muslims but also every other organised crime racket (because that’s exactly what islam is). By the way, I’d of thought our friends in Germany would be a little more wary about accommodating rampant criminals like our Friends of the Great and Mighty ‘Prophet’ after having suffered the National Socialists so recently in their national history. Surely some of them must know about the studies comparing the texts of the Qur’an and ‘Mein Kampf’?
Popeye says
*Jayell: indeed, mohamedanism has all the characteristics of an organised crime racket.
tim gallagher says
No doubt the death threats work, somehistory. This young man may never feel safe again. That is the price people who speak the truth about islam have to pay because the Muslim scum have long memories. Spot on, Jayell1 with calling islam an organised crime gang. That is about all it is. Nothing but barbaric evil and endless threats of violence many of which are carried out. Always down there in the gutter, that’s islam. Nothing noble or decent about the vile ideology.
somehistory says
He probably loses a lot of sleep, Tim.
RICO could be applied in the U.S. if the government got serious about ending the trouble here…or at the very least, stopping some of it.
I don’t know if other nations have such a law, but if not, they should.
mozlums use violence and threats of violence to extort silence and accommodations from infidels. Extortion if one of the hallmarks of organized crime and something RICO was designed to prosecute.
dgm says
it is part of their duty
FYI says
But..but.. what if allah criticized islam or muhammed insulted allah?Would allah have to receive death threats?Would the leftists be out on the streets with their ‘stop the hate’ placards{where?Where is the hate?
you mean a contrary opinion of course ..}
allah What a mess i have created.That’s what happens for ripping off the Bible and trying to fool everybody.
muhammed …and the koran is sooo boring!
allah i thought you were illiterate mo
muhammed yes i am…but i got the audio book
nicholas tesdorf says
This is yet another example of the continual political success that irrational, fanatical Islamic threats of violence have produced over the 1,400 years of its existence.
Ex-muslim says
It is sad that Germany and Europe became unsafe for her own people. If this is not an occupation, what other term can define it? Wake up Europe, Islam is a foreign body that will keep corrupt the rest of you. On top of that, radical leftists are destroying their culture brutally. Sad
Clinger says
Better to not give an inch. But rather take back territory.
Which is harder when the gov and NGOs and large corporations collide to keep you from organizing even at the local level.

Way OT
The Senate has changed its dress code…for the senators, not the support staff….to accommodate fetterman who wears shorts and hoodie.
“John Fetterman can’t function as a senator”

Wellington says
As a life-long Pennsylvanian, somehistory, I utterly decry the “accommodations” made to the highly deficient Fetterman, for whom I did not vote (no way) though Trump made a terrible mistake in endorsing Oz over either McCormick or Barnette in the Republican PA primary.
I voted for the latter in the primary and I wish she had prevailed overall because the more that black Americans desert the Democratic Party, the party of slavery, rebellion, Jim Crow, opposition to the 1964 Civil Right Bill, et al., like Barnette has, the better for black America and all of America. Why Trump endorsed Oz over McCormick or Barnette is rooted, frankly, in Trump’s continual fascination with celebrity types. Huge mistake and it cost Pennsylvania a Senate seat.
somehistory says
Wellington, the article said that it’s possible fetterman can’t dress himself any differently due to the stroke and his depression.
Someone such as he has no business making big decisions for other people, especially those of us he doesn’t know and wouldn’t want to.
One would imagine that Mr. Trump would be enough of a celebrity that he wouldn’t need to be fascinated with others, such as oz. Sometimes, it seems that too many want to be “important” and rub shoulders with other “important” people. And, yet, those of us who are considered unimportant keep them in cash.
When I read the article, I thought about the fact that you live in that State and didn’t. vote for him.

abu taleb says
The German people should see how Islam is using threat (and violence) to silence its true revealers and should realize the evil of Islam. Yet, the people do not do that. Are they so stupid?
If Europe and America wait for the muslims to become majority or even a big minority, it will be much too late.
Fred Flintstone says
@ Ab Utaleb: the German people are still extremely shocked about their behaviour from 1921/1922 onwards. So shocked that they are willing to go to great lenghts to set that right. So shocked that they can only look at themselves, not at anybody/nation/organisation else. Thus, in effect, they are blind. Just don’t call them stupid. They’re not.
Road Runner says
He should have been a bit more careful about revealing his identity. Having said that, we should start operating in groups as well, just like the mohamedans, because this makes defending oneself a lot easier.
It’s sad to see the downfall of the high trust culture that was ours.
Mike 2 says
That was a good parting shot. Saying he is being silenced is very damning.
OLD GUY says
Intimidation works and if it dosen’t violence can take care of the problem for islam. Same philosophy the Cartels and street gangs use to control individuals and territory.
Stacey GP says
I’m glad he did what he did. However, he is still a high profile target. He is still marked for assassination. I hope he has understanding friends and connections who can take him and his family in deep.
End PC says
Muslims have turned, to their delight, most all modern authors into a giant coward class afraid to write anything that reflects the evils of Islam. They write as if the rise of militant, terrorist Islam and 9/11 never happened. Writers are mostly cowards.
Bugs Bunny says
Look at what the German president says about mohamedanism: no wonder that this guy bows out. He should get protection instead, Wilders style, I mean, and continue his work.
NoTaqiyya says
The more the Western world refuses to recognize the clear and present danger the so-called religion of peace represents to its values, the more those values will be undermined.
Western values and this hateful cult are totally incompatible. One has to yield for the other to triumph. Clearly the ones yielding are Westerners. That is a fatal error in judgement.
Previous generations were not confused to the mortal threat the Saracens represent to the West.
That is the reason European nations with the Mediterranean as their southern border are lined up with towers, castles and fortresses to protect its citizens from the marauding Saracens.
Unless Westerners wake up from their suicidal stupor, the West is lost.
The role played by naive and gullible fools infected by the virus of the mind called Wokery, is to facilitate the rapid Islamization of the West.
To surrender to the barbarians within the gates of the citadel, because they’re no longer at the gates, they’re within the gates, in the name of peace and security, is an act of collective harakiri.
Because surrender to the barbarians in the name of peace and security will yield neither. No peace and no security for Western civilization.
