Prof. Dr. Susanne Schröter wrote that Islamism poses a threat to Germany and Europe, but is hardly addressed at universities. Researchers on this topic are marginalized and publicly criticized, among other things with the accusation of being racist against Muslims. Therefore, she founded the extra-university Institute for Democracy and Islam with collaborators, which provides scientifically based information for practice. This knowledge is urgently needed if society wishes to counter Islamism, wrote Schröter. #Forschung (translated)

Rihards Kols pointed out that citizenship for merits is the highest mark of trust from the state and that granting it without sufficient verification diminishes its value. He expressed that he had previously objected to what he sees as overly broad granting of citizenship. Kols wrote that on October 15, the Saeima granted citizenship for special merits to a person whom he described as a scientist. According to him, there was no university found where she obtained her education, and her publications could not be found in scientific databases. He called for a review of the citizenship granting procedures and for mandatory independent candidate verification, including an assessment of diplomas, foreign legal proceedings and finances, as well as obtaining an evaluation from security services. #pilsonība #vērtības #uzticība (translated)
