Pirinçci, who had previously written commercially successful novels, criticized in his first non-fiction book what he believed to be the privileged position of homosexuals , migrants and women in the political debate in the Federal Republic. He sees the role of minorities in the local political discourse critically and interprets them as deficient beings aware of their disadvantage . Furthermore, he warns that some of them would consciously turn down offers of cooperation ( defection ) and that they have a disproportionately large amount of political and social influence and blocking power.

content

The book is divided into eight chapters. The first and last (Germany my mother and instead of a closing word) frame the content of the book: In this preface and closing word, the author formulates his personal declaration of love for Germany. In the remaining chapters, Pirinçci gradually devotes himself to various social topics by summarizing his individual observations and experiences and denouncing the grievances he has perceived.

In Islam belongs to Germany like the Reeperbahn to Mecca (second chapter), Pirinçci expresses himself on German asylum policy and the practice of dealing with immigrant Muslims and explains his career in this context - starting with the immigration of his parents as guest workers in 1969 Turkey. He advocates less tolerance for immigrants who are unwilling to integrate and criticizes the German “ do-gooder ”, wrong and exaggerated efforts to integrate and the lack of patriotism among Germans.

The third chapter, Fear is a Decision, deals with the obstacles faced by the Germans, whom he describes as the “greatest trooper people on earth”. In addition, the decline of the middle class due to excessive tax burdens is discussed. The author criticizes the inflated state apparatus , which has gotten out of hand. He also argues that there is social assistance for people who “do nothing”.

In the fourth chapter, About Women , Pirinçci deals with feminism , gender mainstreaming and raising children.

In chapter five With the Asshole You Can See Better , Pirinçci describes how, from his point of view, more and more taboos are being broken on German television - for example when the homosexual director Rosa von Praunheim put a condom filled with semen on the table on a television program and said he was just got out of a sauna after having sex with men. The audience and the presenter applauded.

In Chapter 6, The German Intellectual and How He Saw the World - Before he got an iron rod on his head, Pirinçci settles accounts with German science and research .

The text published in the seventh chapter (The battle has begun) is an expanded and edited version of the text that appeared as a blog article The slaughter has begun on The Axis of Good . The author creates the context of an allegedly hushed up, creeping genocide against the German people in the incident of the killing of a young German named Daniel S. by Turks in Kirchweyhe .

reception

The book, which was said to be populist , is characterized by a crude or polemical language , which provoked controversial reactions, discussions and numerous negative reviews. Despite a few discussions with devastating verdicts, Germany found great sales - especially in online bookshops - and developed into a bestseller. In the mirror - bestseller list it reached in early May 2014 range nonfiction rank second because of the parallels with respect to the identified alleged decline of Germany was several times with the 2010 book, the book Germany abolishes itself by Thilo Sarrazin compared. Similar to the SPD member Sarrazin, Pirinçci plays with the breakup of his expected role as a successful cat crime writer with a migration background and his conservative, taboo-breaking argumentation.

Interview in the ZDF lunch magazine

On the occasion of his book presentation, Pirinçci was a guest at the ZDF-Mittagsmagazin . According to him, the interview was terminated prematurely, temporarily removed from the media library and later uploaded again in abbreviated form, which Pirinçci described as censorship . The fact that the author calls the Greens there as a "child sex party" is missing from it. The ZDF contradicted the censorship allegation. The legal evaluation of the interview showed that the complete suspension of the conversation in the ZDF media library would lead to legal risks for the ZDF. Stefan Niggemeier said in MiGAZIN that the conversation on ZDF was a demonstration of "how incapable public television is to deal with a hate preacher like Pirinçci". Andrea Heinz from the feminist portal dieStandard.at accused the moderator Susanne Conrad of treating Pirinçci uncritically. This is not an appropriate way of dealing with “potential agitators ”.

Further discussions and reactions

Ijoma Mangold (Die Zeit) sees the pamphlet on the verge of sedition and compares the book with Hitler's Mein Kampf .

According to Harald Staun from the FAZ , Pirinçci makes himself “the megaphone of the silent majority” with his book and looks like “ Sarrazin at speed ”. Stefan Schnitz commented in Stern that the style reminded him of an enhanced version of Sarrazin's books.

Marc Felix Serrao from the Süddeutsche Zeitung said that Pirinçci's book stimulates thought in many places; one is torn back and forth by his ruthless analyzes and the many "wild ideas". His work is "not a book", but "a fight". Pirinçci "spits, insults and punched his way through the German present, that Thilo Sarrazin, on the other hand, seems as controversial as Count Zahl from Sesame Street ".

In the Wirtschaftswoche felt Bettina Röhl at Charles Bukowski recalls. Germany out of her senses is "a kind of literary non-fiction book written with a lot of humor and a good dose of poltergeist".

Christoph Giesa describes Pirinçci in The European as a “clown in the best sense of the word” and describes the book as an extremely successful social criticism . Pirinçci is comparable to great provocateurs like Christoph Schlingensief or Wei Wei .

In Spiegel Online , Jan Fleischhauer sees Pirinçci as an anarchist . His style is based on a "tradition of abuse and abuse that extends from Heine to Henscheid ". Georg Diez sensually classifies Germany as one of the “hate books” that formed anger and contempt for human beings that others put into action. A book like that by Pirinçci provides the accompanying music for the NSU trial, for example . Alexander Wallasch vehemently contradicts Diez with regard to his association with Pirinçci and NSU . So Diez Pirinçci had "in stilted Antifa the -style collective guilt hingeottert for Nsus the future." Wallasch describes Pirinçci as a "torn" personality whose turmoil is also reflected in his book.

The phenomenon Pirinçci makes the journalistic network of the German right become visible, Richard Gebhardt sums up the debate about the book in Zeit Online : “Above all, the intellectual faction of the German right applauds the Bushido- style agitation against all sorts of left-green dogmas . Pirinçci has his say, from the national-conservative weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit to the radically-liberal magazine peculiarly free to the online portal of the Secession , the in-house magazine of the New Right . "

Cicero columnist Alexander Marguier describes an author who has delivered a “successful book” and introduces himself with exuberant furor, passion and childlike pleasure as the “master ofangry speech”, as a “hopeless romantic ”, who rages ultra-liberally against increasing state intervention, with “high satirical entertainment value "conveyed a serious core and posed the cardinal question of the" limits of the effectiveness of the state ".

Opinion-forming media received an abundance of letters to the editor on the occasion of critical discussions in which they were accused of being unrealistic or misunderstanding the real migration situation of certain metropolitan areas. Arnulf Baring holds Pirinçcis book in a letter (23 April 2014) to the mirror "in his own way is important and quite debatable."

Based on recent statements on social media (April 2014), Pirinçci u. a. accused of inciting hatred, provoking violence and even indirectly inciting criminal acts.

Others

The Sonderwege edition, in which Deutschland von Sinnen also appeared, publishes, according to its own statements, "authors who firstly have an opinion (and a clearly different one) and, secondly, can also formulate it."

The publisher Manuscriptum , which has not yet appeared with social polemics , drew criticism with the publication of the book, so that the associated department store Manufactum distanced itself from its founder and Pirinçcis publisher Thomas Hoof in order to avert possible damage to the company's image.

In October 2014 the documentary on the debate about Germany from the senses appeared under the title Attacke on the Mainstream , edited by Akif Pirinçci and Andreas Lombard.
