Yvonne Kussmann wrote that the response of the Hessian state government to an inquiry from the AfD states that there are a total of 4,495 prisoners in adult and youth detention as of March 31, 2026. Of these, 1,865 were of Christian faith (41.49 percent), including 841 members of Protestant churches, 712 Catholics, and 312 Orthodox churches. 1,487 prisoners were Muslim (33.08 percent). Compared to a Muslim population share of about 10 percent in Hesse, Muslims are thus approximately three times overrepresented in correctional facilities, Kussmann wrote. For the Rockenberg Juvenile Detention Center, she mentioned 131 prisoners, including 78 Muslims (59.54 percent), 17 members of Protestant, 16 Catholic, and two Orthodox churches. In Wiesbaden, there were 162 prisoners, including 79 Muslims (48.77 percent), 14 members of Protestant, 17 Catholic, and five Orthodox churches. Furthermore, nine prisoners were affiliated with Buddhism and twelve with Judaism across the state. 775 made no statement, for which Kussmann cited a proportion of 1724 percent; 328 were without denomination (7.30 percent). According to Kussmann, the state government does not want to specify the number of extremist or radicalization-relevant prisoners. She wrote that politically motivated crime is subdivided into five areas: For right-wing politically motivated crime (PMK), there is a medium double-digit number of prisoners, almost exclusively Germans; for left-wing PMK, there is a low single-digit number, exclusively Germans. For foreign ideology PMK, she mentioned a low double-digit number, including Syrians and others; for religious ideology PMK, a low to medium double-digit number, including Germans, Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis, and others. In the case of other classifications, the number is low double-digit and the prisoners are exclusively Germans. As examples of the listed crimes, Kussmann mentioned among others murder, attempted murder, terrorist organizations, genocide, rape, fraud, and driving without a license. #Hessen #Justiz #Gefängnisse (translated)

The author of the article wrote that Sven Müller, spokesperson for the Association of Business Associations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, had left the CDU after 44 years. He interpreted the move as a sign that the economy is also turning away from the CDU and asked whether the Union would soon be below 5 percent nationwide. #CDU #MecklenburgVorpommern #Politik #DE (translated)

This is definitely disproportionate, this is definitely unconstitutional and contrary to European law. Thilo Weichert, board member of the German Association for Data Protection, sees the draft as a "blank check for the administration to use AI in the migration sector." #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Asylrecht #Datenschutz (translated)

Key Pousttchi wrote that it is naive to believe in coincidences. He claimed that the editorial systems of Apollo News and NIUS had been hacked and that the material had subsequently ended up with Correctiv. He referred to parts of the left-green NGO sector as a state-supported criminal organization. #Zufall #Medien #Korruption (translated)

U.M. OSINT explained that he is often criticized for speaking of "the Palestinians" instead of just Hamas. Highlighting Hamas conveys the impression in the West, in his view, that the Palestinians are largely innocent and the responsibility lies solely with a ruling class. In the Gaza Strip and, in a different composition, in the West Bank, the Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the PFLP, the DFLP, the Martyrs' Brigades, Fatah, and other groups are also active. According to U.M. OSINT, the motivation of these groups is distorted in the West. Their goal is the destruction of Israel; they internally view Israel's existence as an occupation of their land. This perspective is also adopted by Western left extremists. U.M. OSINT referred to the resistance against Israel's existence as Muqāwama and stated that civilian, peaceful resistance means Ṣumūd. Citing the recent survey by the Palestinian PCPSR (Poll No 97, 12.08.2026), he wrote that 50% of respondents opposed a two-state solution and 32% supported armed resistance. The latter figure is the lowest ever recorded; in December 2023, it was at 68%. According to an INSS survey (National Security Studies INSS, Special Survey: Palestinian Public Opinion in the West Bank, 17.09.2026), 43% support a Palestinian state between the Jordan and the Mediterranean. Of those, 26% wanted to allow no Jewish presence in such a state, which, according to U.M. OSINT, affects nearly 1.5 million Palestinians. To justify his terminology, he referred to historical comparisons: despite armed resistance in Italy, today, people talk about the Allies' fight against Italy and not just against the Partito Nazionale Fascista. The pro-imperial Taisei Yokusankai is hardly known in Europe; people simply talk about Japan. In World War II, more than 17 million Germans fought, and millions also contributed to the armaments industry and in organizations. It would be strange, he wrote, to attribute the war solely to members of the NSDAP. U.M. OSINT argued that a society bears collective responsibility when it is permeated by a system. Whether Palestinians internally struggle for an Islamist or secular society is of no consequence to Israel externally. In his view, the portrayal of the situation as an occupation of the West Bank is directed at uninformed people in the West. The so-called resistance began long before the founding of Israel and took on current structures while Israel had not yet occupied anything; at that time, the Palestinian autonomous areas were occupied and annexed by Jordan and Egypt. Additionally, from at least 1947, about 1,000 former members of the Waffen-SS fought on the Palestinian side in the so-called Arab Liberation Army (ALA). If he refers to a specific association or terrorist organization, he names it explicitly; otherwise, he speaks of the Palestinians. #Palästinenser #Hamas #Nahostkonflikt (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that the directly elected Bundestag member from his constituency, Sören Pellmann from Die Linke, had joined the left-wing extremist association Rote Hilfe. He pointed out that the Berlin top candidate Elif Eralp had also been a member and had therefore found herself in a difficult position. Hartmann asked what message Pellmann wanted to signal with this step and explained that Die Linke had nothing in mind with its democratic concept of the rule of law. Furthermore, he asked who votes for the party and who forms coalitions with it. #DieLinke #Bundestagswahl #Rechtsstaat (translated)

This is simply no longer understandable to me! This world is crazy and unfair! The appeals court reduced Maja T.'s sentence from almost 14 years to seven years in prison! Judge Géza Szalai determined that Maja T. did not act as a member of a criminal organization and thus the penalty was reduced! This judgment is no longer appealable! #Ungerechtigkeit #Rechtssystem #Urteil (translated)

Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner und ihre Präsidiumskollegen springen bei AfDlern schon dazwischen, wenn die nur falsch atmen, schon bei "Lügner" oder "Kartellpartei" droht ein Ordnungsruf. Aber der Linke Gregor Gysi darf hier mal locker eine Partei aus dem Bundestag als "kriminelle Vereinigung" beschimpfen (ab 0:23), da passiert nichts! https://t.co/jOhRlDbdyF #Bundestag #Politik #Deutschland
