Hate preacher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As preachers of hate (composed of hatred and preachers what the lat. Praedicare "proclaim publicly or proclaim" is derived) are referred mainly clergy and rare politicians to hostility and incite hatred or call directly to violence, while in their speeches or writings use inflammatory and inflammatory rhetoric. The expression was taken up by Duden 2006 and can be used and perceived as a political battle term. He became the subject of various legal disputes.

History and usage of terms

After the term had been used sporadically in various contexts since the end of the 19th century, for example in the wake of the so-called Kulturkampf and by the philosopher Karl Christian Friedrich Krause , who saw war and hate preachers as a “herd of contagion”, it was later used 20th century also used in the context of fanatical representatives of political Islam , for example in a 1979 letter to the editor about Ayatollah Khomeini .

Since then, the frequency of use has increased in 2004, especially in connection with the discussion about the Immigration Act , the debate about expulsion options under the Residence Act for foreigners, especially those from the Islamic environment, who are accused of attacking the free democratic basic order of Germany as so-called threats , and the media-effective cases of Imam Metin Kaplan from Cologne and the preacher of the Mevlana Mosque in Berlin in the so-called "hate preacher affair" .

The cabaret artist Dieter Nuhr was defeated in May 2015 in a court case with which he wanted to avoid being called a hate preacher by Erhat Toka.

The term has also been used to refer to representatives of some Christian denominations. In the mirror the first term use of this kind took place in 1994 in an article about fundamentalist Christians in the United States. There the anti-abortion opponent and preacher John Burt was described by Matthias Matussek as a “preacher of hatred”. In 2011 , the same magazine described Terry Jones as a hate preacher who caused considerable controversy with his call to burn the Koran . In October 2012, Spiegel Online described authors of the Catholic traditionalist and right-wing extremist website kreuz.net as hate preachers. In March 2014, Fred Phelps , the founder of Westboro Baptist Church , was called that in the taz .

The use of the term was the subject of various legal disputes in Germany between the Archbishop of Cologne Joachim Cardinal Meisner and the Cologne cabaret artist Jürgen Becker and the Cologne Bundestag member Volker Beck ( Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen ). Meisner had sued against the application of the term to him. Becker accepted an injunction from the Cologne Regional Court prohibiting him from using the term, while the dispute with Beck ended in an out-of-court settlement between the two parties.

The Duden first included the word in 2006 in the 24th edition of the volume “The German Spelling” and defines the hate preacher as someone “who, in his function as a preacher, calls for hatred and violence”. Since then, the term has been used frequently in political and media discussions with clergymen or leaders of various religious communities, often in connection with the accusation of religious fundamentalism, especially Islamism .

Some provisions of the Residence Act , newly introduced by Article 1 of the Immigration Act of July 30, 2004 and which came into force on January 1, 2005 , arose on the basis of the political discussion about the "hate preacher affair" and the treatment of hate preachers in the Islamic environment. Sections 54 and 55 AufenthG a. F. made it possible to expel foreigners who supported or belonged to an organization supporting terrorism or who incited hatred and violence against sections of the population. The expulsion of foreigners openly calling for hatred and violence was made possible by a discretionary expulsion (Section 55 AufenthG old version ) at the discretion of the immigration authorities. On January 1, 2016, these provisions were converted into a balancing of interests in deportation and to remain in accordance with Section 53 , Section 54 and Section 55 of the Residence Act (see: Legal position on expulsion since January 1, 2016 ) Regarding hate preachers, regulations may also apply that have been made to deal with so-called " threats ".
