Positions

After the attacks of September 11, 2001, he pleaded for pragmatism and serenity, as an alternative between anti-Americanism and total solidarity with the USA, and called his peers the "Gulf War generation".

In 2006 he certified the publicist Henryk M. Broder the "icy sharpness of a religious warrior"; His bestseller Hurray, We Surrender , he called a "humorous sermon on hate".

In 2009 he attested Thilo Sarrazin, then a member of the Bundesbank's board of directors and SPD politician, to “salon racism”. When the first party exclusion proceedings against him were set, he wrote in March 2010 that the SPD had "missed an opportunity". Sarrazin's bestseller Germany abolishes itself , which appeared in August 2010, compared to the 1994 book The Bell Curve . He saw it as a blueprint for Sarrazin's theses. In February 2014 he met Sarrazin on the ntv show “Das Duell”.

In January 2013 he reported on the decision of the Stuttgart-based Thienemann-Verlag to delete the word “ Neger ” from its new edition of the children's classic Die kleine Hexe by Otfried Preußler .
