Broder is known to the Jewish and Abdel-Samad, the Muslim faith. Both have German nationality. Together with Broders Wire Fox Terrier Wilma go the men to a Germany-Safari and that with an old Volvo, which they call Kurt and resembles a brightly colored monkeys swing.
On their journey they feel with subtle questioning techniques to various people on the tooth and show the full measure of prejudices and questionable ethics review by Abel self cast, which is driving them around the country almost a blush in the face.
The book is moreover equipped with many photos, visualize this safari.
Wikipedia writes with regard to the term "safari", inter alia: "Safari" is the popular term of the Swahili language for a trip of any Art He found since the colonial period included in the German and English language of the erstwhile colonial masters and then was used mainly to describe a hunting trip in East Africa, killed in the usual big game was "(quote Wikipedia).
animals were on the trip not to be killed, but photos shot and it was the normal madness that can be diagnosed in the population of our country, to cute little understandable Recording on well sketched in Berlin-Rudow experience a "political plasters", -. they Calling itself the case - the unreadable by spray cans right-wing symbols and slogans on walls, but ultimately the criminal damage to property makes. Their example shows that it makes no sense to make to create the symptoms of any kind.
a party on the fifth anniversary of the opening of the Berlin Holocaust memorial, "Broder does not react unduly unwell. There are occasions where a festive mood is not announced. Broder's parents were in Auschwitz. If he expresses very angry, "the last Holocoust become the staging ground for wannabes, Busybodies, Partypupser and busybodies of all disciplines", I can understand him and when he asks cynically, "So we now go to the party, or we go to my therapist "he has just hit the nerve that the Thought-provoking.
involved for the Turkish bakers Broder that in a conversation that shows that young Turkish men are called to live a hand to the Western way good, but her sister that allow freer life do not want. Broder drafted in view together on the Baker "on him is simply no longer Muslim, he drinks, he smokes, he has sex before marriage, he does not go to Mecca, he does not pray." Hamed says: "But the chip is still in there." Broder replied: "The chip in it and the program me it seems a bit like before, like having a new Apple laptop, which runs an operating system. by Atari in 1970. "
This impression is even more often on the trip, whether warned in natives or newcomers in our country. In Bavaria photographed Broder a road sign on the front of a priest with two of his parishioners a sense is. Completely ludicrous. This is also to experience both the setting up of fertility symbol "Maypole" by a young Bavarian men and at the Oktoberfest they collect impressions in terms of tolerance by a suitably provocative outfit.
Hamed Abdel-Samad wonders at the end of the safari, which Stasi-men, neo-Nazis, peaceniks, Christiania residents and Muslim fundamentalists in common have and to provide an answer, which I endorse. Broder jokes that now an award for tolerance and respectful treatment is due, because a Jew and a Muslim have endured 30,000 kilometers in a car together
What can they, but others would have to create it. As difficult as this should not be but in the end, right? With a little tolerance willingness anything is possible. Above all, peace.
