Public discussion

Sanem Kleff hit the headlines in 2008 because she was responsible for the press law for the school magazine Q-rage (title Selam Germany ). In the booklet there are allegations against evangelical Christians. They were intolerant, unconstitutional, dangerous and stupid, it said there. Thomas Krüger , President of the Federal Agency for Civic Education , which co-finances the magazine, had to distance himself from the article after it was published.
