Anti-Turk / Islamophobe involvement in German Fire Deaths ?

category international | miscellaneous | other press author Thursday February 07, 2008 16:10author by tomeile Report this post to the editors

The Irish media coverage of the fire which killed nine people of Turkish origin in the German city Ludwigshafen last weekend focused mostly on the image of a baby thrown from a window to be caught by a heroic firefighter . The Turkish media has however concentrated on the possible involvement of xenophobic and Islamophobic elements in starting the blaze. The Turkish ambassador to Germany said it was strange that German politicians had ruled out such involvement before police had established the cause. Turkish State Minister Mustafa Said Yazicioglu met German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble in Ankara on Monday to ask for a full investigation saying :
“Islamophobia spread because several incidents after September 11th attacks were exaggerated thus racist incidents emerged, and all these brought an unpleasant situation for Turks in Germany.”

The testimony of two sisters that survived the fire on Sunday ignited suspicion that an act of arson might have taken place. Aylin and Bedriye K. said they saw a “German” in the building and he was trying to hide a bottle behind his back, seemingly to start the fire. When asked who he was, the suspect reportedly replied “I am a German.”

Yesterday another building, again mainly inhabited by Turks, went up in flames in the western German city of Herne.
