HEALTHY BABIES DO NOT JUST DIE!!
Did you know that that more than 5,000 babies die per year of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDs)? SIDS is not a real syndrome, but a classification when the cause is unknown. But SIDS rates tend to spike within THREE days of vaccine visits. Plus, SIDS rates increase with the number of vaccines given to infants. And the US gives 26 â more than any other country.
In fact, the US has the highest vaccine schedule in the developed world AND the highest infant death rateâŠ
NOT A COINCIDENCE!!
Vaccines contain toxic additives â including aluminum, latex, formaldehyde, MSG, animal and aborted fetal cells, antibiotics â that are doing damage to our children.
Neurological and autoimmune disorders are skyrocketing. Epilepsy, autism, food allergies, asthma, type-1 diabetes, leukemia, ADHD, speech delays, tics, high-pitched screaming, SIDS, lupus, MSâŠand most are listed as possible side effects of these toxic vaccine ingredients.
Doctors cannot be sued when they declare the shots were safe, most often without actually even knowing the toxic ingredients in the needle. And the Pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued for putting babies lives at risk because they are one of only two industries protected from lawsuits when vaccines cause serious side effects or death â due to the 1986 National Childhood Immunization Law that gives blanket federal protection from lawsuits.
Itâs just the parents left with terrible guilt for trusting a system build to put PROFITS over peopleâŠand the deaths continue to rise.
Check out these studies and reports. Protect your baby, do NOT inject.

Study Shows Chicken Pox Vaccine Responsible for Triggering Nationwide Shingles Epidemic
February 8, 2013
Jonathan Benson
For the past several years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been actively promoting the shingles vaccine as the solution to what some experts say is a building shingles epidemic.
But a new study published in the German medical journal Der Hautarzt, or âThe Dermatologistâ in English, has revealed that the childhood vaccine for chicken pox, a common viral disease related to shingles, may actually be directly responsible for triggering this epidemic.
Also known clinically as varicella-zoster virus (VZV), chicken pox is a relatively mild form of herpes virus that typically manifests itself during the early childhood years. Nearly all children who develop the condition at a young age, in fact, never develop it again, and are also usually imparted with lifelong immunity to both VZV and its relative, herpes zoster, a more severe form of the disease commonly referred to as shingles.
According to the new study; however, getting vaccinated with the chicken pox vaccine, which first became commercially available in the U.S. back in 1995, could damage this natural immune cycle. Based on the available data, getting vaccinated for chicken pox may end up blocking the mechanisms the body uses to develop its own natural immunity to both chicken pox and shingles, causing much worse infection later on down the road.
Study – Herpes zoster after varicella-zoster vaccination
Abstract
A five-year-old girl, vaccinated against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) presented with clinical symptoms of herpes zoster in the 6th cervical dermatome. A VZV direct immune-fluorescence assay was negative three times but additional genotypical analysis showed a VZV strain genotype 2 (Oka vaccine strain). Therefore the diagnosis of a breakthrough varicella disease with the vaccine strain was established. An immunodeficiency was ruled out and the patient responded well to the initiated therapy. This case demonstrates that a negative VZV direct immunofluorescence assay does not exclude an infection with the vaccine strain.
Autopsy confirms Valley family’s suspicions that vaccine caused dog’s death
Monique Griego, KPNX 7:21 AM. MST June 15, 2017
The report found Miloâs cause of death was likely anaphylactic shock, triggered by a vaccine.
While it isnât uncommon for pets to have an adverse reaction to a vaccine, most are minor. Anaphylaxis is one of the rarest and most severe types of reactions.
âYes he suffered and he suffered bad,â said Jason, âand he shouldn’t have suffered like that, no dog or animal should ever suffer like this at all.â
12 News reached out to Banfield. Dr. Ari Zabell, a client advocate at Banfield Pet Hospital, sent this statement to 12 News regarding Miloâs death:
âAt Banfield, we know how heartbreaking it can be to lose a member of the family. Although Milo had received these and other vaccines in the past without any adverse reaction, and such a response remains extremely rare, we were incredibly sad to learn an anaphylactic reaction to one of the vaccines was likely the cause of his passing. We immediately reported the incident to the vaccine manufacturers and will continue to remain in contact. Our hearts go out to Miloâs family during this difficult time.â
âWeâre going to fight this to the end,â said Jason.
What happened to Milo is why the Baez family is now part of a growing group of pet owners taking aim at the traditional way pets are vaccinated.
Purdue Studies Show Vaccinated Dogs Can Develop Immune-Mediated Diseases
by TVR Staff
Published June 19, 2015
In an article published on the online magazine Dogs Naturally, Catherine OâDriscoll writes that research done at Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine shows vaccines can lead to life-threatening immune-mediated diseases in dogs. OâDriscoll is founder of the nonprofit organization Canine Health Concern (CHC).
In studies conducted by Purdue, the vaccinated animals developed autoantibodies to many of their own cell structures, including fibronectin (involved in tissue repair), laminin (important to many cell activities), cardiolipin (a common finding with autoimmune disorders) and collagen (an important protein that provides underlying support to the body and soft tissues), as well as to their own DNA.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force has also looked into why approximately 160,000 cats in the United States develop terminal cancers at the vaccination siteâan effect common enough that cats are generally vaccinated in the tail or a leg to allow for amputation if tumors develop. Vaccine-site cancers have similarly been reported for dogs and humans.
Modified live virus vaccines have an acknowledged association with a fast-acting, generally fatal disease known as autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA), and additional research has linked polyarthritis and amyloidosis to a combination vaccine given to dogs. Referring to a substantial body of research confirming that vaccines can cause significant brain and central nervous system damage in dogs, including encephalitis and brain inflammation and damage, OâDriscoll quotes a letter by Dr. Larry Glickman, who led the Purdue research group:
Our ongoing studies of dogs show that following routine vaccination, there is a significant rise in the level of antibodies dogs produce against their own tissues. Some of these antibodies have been shown to target the thyroid gland, connective tissue such as that found in the valves of the heart, red blood cells, DNA, etcâŠ
Just as in the human population, some animals are not genetically able to withstand the vaccine challenge and are likely to suffer an adverse reaction to vaccination. In individuals with faulty B and T cell function, for example, the immune system may overreact and lead to allergies and other inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, pancreatitis, colitis or autoimmune diseases.

Stanford Scientist Claims Human Fetal DNA Fragments In Vaccines Cause Autism
06/01/2017
Dr. Theresa Deisher, a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Physiology from Stanford University has put forth a theory that human DNA fragments in vaccines could be one of the causes of autism. Deischer is a well accomplished and respected scientist. She has over 19 years of commercial biotechnology history and her research has often led to clinical trials.
âIt is possible that these contaminating fragments could be incorporated into a childâs genome and disrupt normal gene function, leading to autistic phenotypes.â
Being that sheâs a well-respected and incredibly accomplished scientist, sheâs been somewhat left alone regarding her research into vaccines, which was done several years ago. These days, your entire life can be sabotaged for even suggesting that vaccines cause autism. Most of the current studies regarding the matter are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. The justification of mass vaccine is, at its very core, a financial play by these mega-pharmaceutical corporations.
Most every peer reviewed study that shows any possibility of vaccines injuring people is abruptly covered up. Or, in the case of the CDC and a study showing bad effects on African Americans, just completely thrown out.

Let’s be honest. The man in this photo looks appalling: a middle-aged male suffering, all tucked up in his chair-bed ready to moan the day away.
A harsh description perhaps, but we can be certain the poor thing won’t take offence. Firstly, because the person in the picture is me.
And secondly because, “well you look appalling” is exactly what the doctor said as she shoved a swab up my nose to discover what on the inside was making the outside so disagreeable.
The answer came back the next morning: influenza A.
Not the much maligned man flu, but the real deal â which doesn’t discriminate on the basis of gender, race, class or, indeed, much else.
But how could I have the flu, when six weeks ago I’d had the flu shot and got a lollypop from the nurse for my trouble?
Merck CEO: Gardasil plus pipeline equals big things ahead for vaccines
by Eric Sagonowsky | Jun 12, 2017
Industry watchers are predicting GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi will post strong vaccines growth in the coming years, surpassing Merck in size along the way. But at a recent conference, Merck CEO Ken Frazier told investors not to underestimate his company’s presence in the field.
Speaking at the Sanford Bernstein Strategic Decision Conference, Frazier said Merck is âexcited by our vaccine pipeline and I think thatâs a really strong part of Merckâs business,â according to a Seeking Alpha transcript.
Frazier said many people âunderestimateâ Merckâs vaccine business, but he sees things differently. To reinforce the point, Frazier pointed to Gardasilâs recent sales strength and a new cancer vaccines partnership with Moderna Therapeutics as evidence of Merckâs promise in vaccines.
The unit does face challenges, even with top-selling Gardasil, thanks to a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decision to reduce the recommended dosing schedule. Competitors are coming for at least one of its other top products. But Frazier sees the Moderna deal, and other pipeline projects, paying off down the line.
Last summer, Merck linked up with Moderna on a personalized cancer vaccine partnership, paying $200 million up front to the Boston biotech for R&D work through proof of concept. If the program generates human proof-of-concept data, Merck has the option to make an additional undisclosed payment.
And if the work reaches that point, the pair would split costs and profits in a global collaboration. Last week, Frazier said itâs an arrangement that holds âgreat promise for us.â
Study – Aluminum hydroxide injections lead to motor deficits and motor neuron degeneration
Abstract
Gulf War Syndrome is a multi-system disorder afflicting many veterans of Western armies in the 1990â1991 Gulf War. A number of those afflicted may show neurological deficits including various cognitive dysfunctions and motor neuron disease, the latter expression virtually indistinguishable from classical amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) except for the age of onset. This ALS âclusterâ represents the second such ALS cluster described in the literature to date. Possible causes of GWS include several of the adjuvants in the anthrax vaccine and others. The most likely culprit appears to be aluminum hydroxide. In an initial series of experiments, we examined the potential toxicity of aluminum hydroxide in male, outbred CD-1 mice injected subcutaneously in two equivalent-to-human doses. After sacrifice, spinal cord and motor cortex samples were examined by immunohistochemistry. Aluminum-treated mice showed significantly increased apoptosis of motor neurons and increases in reactive astrocytes and microglial proliferation within the spinal cord and cortex. Morin stain detected the presence of aluminum in the cytoplasm of motor neurons with some neurons also testing positive for the presence of hyper-phosphorylated tau protein, a pathological hallmark of various neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. A second series of experiments was conducted on mice injected with six doses of aluminum hydroxide. Behavioural analyses in these mice revealed significant impairments in a number of motor functions as well as diminished spatial memory capacity. The demonstrated neurotoxicity of aluminum hydroxide and its relative ubiquity as an adjuvant suggest that greater scrutiny by the scientific community is warranted.
The Impacts of Vaccines: Aluminum, Autoimmunity, Autism and Alzheimerâs
By Dr. Gary G. Kohls
Global Research, March 16, 2017
âI predict that Gardasil will become the greatest medical scandal of all times because at some point in time, the evidence will add up to prove that this vaccineâŠhas absolutely no effect on cervical cancer and that all the very many adverse effects which destroy lives and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate profit for the manufacturers. â Dr. Bernard Dalbergue a former pharmaceutical industry physician with Gardasil manufacturer Merck, emphasis added.
âNo vaccine manufacturer shall be liableâŠfor damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death.â â President Ronald Reagan, as he signed The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986, absolving drug companies from all medico-legal liability when vaccines kill or disable children
âThe 271 vaccines in development span a wide array of diseases, and employ exciting new scientific strategies and technologies. These potential vaccines â all in human clinical trials or under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) â include 137 for infectious diseases, 99 for cancer, 15 for allergies and 10 for neurological disorders.â â âStatement from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) â the pharmaceutical industryâs trade association and lobbying group.
The #1 talking point of Big Pharma, Big Vaccine, the CDC, the AMA and the American Academy of Pediatrics when they try to justify the use of the neurotoxin aluminum (and mercury) in their vaccines is this one:
âhumans shouldnât be afraid of the small amount of either aluminum or mercury that is or has been in many human and animal vaccines.â
They say, truthfully, that aluminum is the third most common element in the earthâs crust, behind oxygen and silicone. Oxygen makes up about 47% of the earthâs mass. Silicon is second at 28%, followed by aluminum at 8%. They also say that aluminum may be just as harmless as oxygen and silicone and that humans are also exposed to aluminum in oral antacids and underarm anti-perspirants and that those products havenât yet been âconclusivelyâ proven to have caused âstatistically-significantâ health problems. They fail, of course, to mention that the âstudiesâ that prove aluminumâs safety (and efficacy) were designed, performed and paid-for by the very industries that benefit from the unregulated, unexamined and widespread use of injectable aluminum in Americaâs over-vaccination schedules.
Measles Mortality Rates: The Efficacy and Safety of Vaccines. Role of The Medical Establishment
By Dr. Gary G. Kohls and David Brownstein
Global Research, May 22, 2017
âDuring the last 10 years, there has been one death from measles, but that patient was an adult woman who was on immunosuppressive medications and had other serious health problems. (But between) 2000 and 2017, there were 156 deaths related to the MMR vaccine.â â David Brownstein, MD â Holistic Family Practitioner
âUp to 90% of the total decline in the death rate of children between 1860-1965 because of whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria, and measles occurred before the introduction of immunisations and antibiotics.â â Archie Kalokerinos, MD
âAccording to the records of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, from 1911 to 1935 the four leading causes of childhood deaths from infectious diseases in the U.S.A. were diphtheria, pertussis, scarlet fever, and measles. However, by 1945 the combined death rates from these causes had declined by 95% before the implementation of mass vaccine programs.â â Harold Buttram, MD
Critical thinkers and knowledgeable readers who have no ulterior motivation to blindly promote current over-vaccination agendas will agree that the Somali parents who have witnessed the devastating epidemic of Autistic Spectrum Disorders decimate so many of their children since coming to Minnesota, made a wise choice in refusing MMR vaccinations.
The Somali community has seen an alarming incidence of ASD (currently 1 out of every 32 of their children are afflicted, the worst prevalence rate in any Minnesota demographic group, even exceeding the 1 out of 48 among the fully vaccinated white male children in Minnesota). Recall that concurrent with the alarming epidemic of ASD was a dramatic increase in live virus vaccines, mercury-containing vaccine and aluminum-containing vaccines. The incidence of ASD before 1986 (when the vaccine industry was exempted from liability for vaccine deaths or injuries) was 1 in every 10,000 Minnesotan children and the rate went to 1 out of 68 by the time the number of antigens injected routinely into Minnesotan children went from a dozen or so to upwards of 80!
Something more than coincidence is at work. As noted vaccine researcher Dr Christopher Shaw has stated:
âParents refusing to vaccinate according to the recommended CDC schedule are supported by the science.â
Somali children never came down with autism in their native land. It was only after they became war refugees and emigrated to Minnesota and started accepting CDC- and Minnesota Department of Health-mandated MMR live virus-containing vaccinations (often combined with mercury-containing and aluminum-containing vaccinations) that the epidemic devastated the community.
Polio: Syria update, Democratic Republic of the Congo
by News Desk
June 14, 2017
Syria
In an update on the polio ( circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2âcVDPV2) outbreak in Syria, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports there is evidence of genetic linkage among three isolates of type-2 vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPV2) isolated in the stool specimens of two acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases with dates of onset of paralysis on 5 March and 6 May 2017, and the contact specimen of an AFP case collected on 17 April 2017.
Since the confirmation of the first VDPV2 during May 2017, AFP surveillance has been intensified in the Governorate, especially in the Al Mayadeen district. As of 6 June 2017, a total of 58 AFP cases have been reported from the Governorate this year. In addition to the two cases that have tested positive for VDPV2, a further 11 have tested negative for polioviruses, with the remaining samples being under process in the laboratories or being transported to the laboratories.
Although access for vaccination is compromised due to prevailing insecurity in Deir Al Zour, the Governorate has been partially reached by several vaccination campaigns against polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases since the beginning of 2016. Most recently, two campaigns have been conducted in March and April 2017 using bivalent oral polio vaccine (bOPV). The most recent full trivalent oral polio vaccine (tOPV) round was conducted in October 2015; while tOPV rounds conducted in the first four months of 2016 only reached part of the target population of the Deir Al Zour Governorate. It is pertinent to mention that Syrian Arab Republic introduced two doses of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in the routine infant immunization schedule in 2008. Syrian Arab Republic switched from tOPV to bOPV for routine immunization on 1 May 2016.
Democratic Republic of the Congo
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), two separate circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2s (cVDPV2s) have been confirmed. The first cVDPV2 strain has been isolated from two acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases from two districts in Haut-Lomami province, with onset of paralysis on 20 February and 8 March 2017. The second cVDPV2 strain has been isolated from Maniema province, from two AFP cases (with onset of paralysis on 18 April and 8 May 2017) and a healthy contact in the community.
Outbreak response plans are currently being finalized, consisting of strengthening surveillance, including active case searching for additional cases of AFP, and supplementary immunization activities (SIAs) with monovalent oral polio vaccine type 2 (mOPV2), in line with internationally-agreed outbreak response protocols.
WHO assesses the risk of further national spread of these strains to be high, and the risk of international spread to be medium.
15,000 people marched in Rome to protest new mandatory vaccine law
15,000 free-vaxxers marched in Rome under the hot summer sun to protest the new law that will increase mandatory vaccines from 4 to 12. They call themselves Free-Vaxxers to distinguish themselves from the No-Vaxxers, they want to stress that they are not anti vaccines, but they are pro-freedom; the freedom to choose if, when and how much to vaccinate their kids.
The Vaxxed team arrived in Italy for the movie premier of Vaxxed welcomed by the public and the local associations. The documentary immediately created a wave of consciousness in the public, a wave that the government has been trying to crush, first by censoring Vaxxed, and now by issuing the strictest mandatory vaccine law in Europe. Vaxxed has inspired people to come together to fight united for the right to choose to vaccinate their kids or not.
It was a true historic moment, for the very first time so many parents, doctors, politicians came together. So far this has been the largest march against mandatory vaccines in the world.

âFor they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant; The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moav, and the Hagrites.â Psalms 83:6-7 (The Israel Bibleâą)
A replica of a Roman arch that once stood in front of the pagan Temple of Baâal was erected for the World Government Summit in Dubai this week, creating a scene that one rabbi claims symbolizes the dangerous fusion of Ishmael and Edom against Israel.
The original Roman Victory Arch stood for 1,800 years in Palmyra, Syria, until it was destroyed by ISIS in October 2015. A full-size 28-meter tall replica of the arch was created last year by the Institute for Digital Archeology, a joint project of Oxford and Harvard universities, and has been displayed twice before.
The replica was erected for the opening of the World Government Summit that opened on Sunday in Dubai. Based in the United Arab Emirates, the summit is an international organization for global dialogue where leaders in government, business, and technology discuss how governments operate and how policies are made.
The first summit, held in 2013, was attended by former US President Barack Obama, former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, and other world leaders.
Though a Roman artifact recreated in a modern Arab metropolis may seem incongruous, Rabbi Pinchas Winston, a prolific author and End of Days scholar, saw a deeper meaning in it that is incredibly relevant today.
Though Rome and the Arab Emirates appear in different parts of the world and at different points in history, Rabbi Winston sees them as connected ideologically and spiritually.
âTradition tells of four exiles, the last being the Roman exile. Israel is being assailed by the Arabs but nowhere do we hear of a fifth, Arab or Ishmael exile,â explained Rabbi Winston. âThis Roman arch in Dubai symbolically ties them both together: Ishmael, the Arabs, and Edom, which was epitomized by Rome.â
The original arch in Palmyra, built by Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, stood in front of a preexisting temple that was used by the Mesopotamians to worship the pagan god Bel, mentioned often in the Bible as Baâal.
For he built again the high places which Chizkiyahu his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal. II Kings 21:3
âJust like the Romans, the Arabs are trying to control the world, and succeeding,â said Rabbi Winston. âEven though it is the Arabs against the Jews, it is really the Arabs continuing the mission of Edom to conquer the world. This connection between Dubai and Rome is showing that Edom never ended. It just put on a different mask.â
The first century Jewish sage Jonathan ben Uzziel wrote about how this Biblical alliance between Ishmael and Esau and would reappear at the End of Days. Clear evidence of the spiritual connection between these two seemingly disparate worlds can be found in the growing political cooperation between Rome and the Muslim/Arab world.
Shame on the Silent Christian Leaders Who Refuse to Stand Against Government Tyranny
Michael Brown Michael Brown |Posted: Feb 17, 2017
There is only one thing more appalling than the Washington Supreme Courtâs 9-0 ruling against religious liberty on Friday. It is the silence of Christian leaders across America, leaders who choose convenience over confrontation, leaders who would rather be popular than prophetic, leaders who prefer the favor of people over the favor of God. Shame on these silent leaders. Today is a day to stand.
There are, of course, the handful of expected Christian voices protesting the courtâs outrageous decision, as these justices ruled unanimously against florist Barronelle Stutzman, claiming that she discriminated against a longtime gay customer (named Robert Ingersoll) when she told him she couldnât make the floral arrangement for his upcoming gay âwedding,â despite the fact that she had served him for years and despite her recommending three other florists who could do the arrangements for his wedding.
Instead, the court ruled that this 72-year-old grandmother who had employed gay workers and served gay customers for years, was required by law to participate in a gay wedding, even though this constituted a direct violation of her religious beliefs â beliefs which have been consistent and almost universally held among Christians for the last 2,000 years.
Not only so, but the court upheld the attack on her personal assets as well â her house, her savings, her retirement funds â by requiring her âto pay the attorneysâ fees that the ACLU racked up in suing her,â fees which could reach as high as one million dollars.
Previously, when Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, an aggressive liberal who brought the suit against Barronnelle, âannounced he would accept $2,000 in penalties, $1 in fees and costs, plus an agreement not to discriminate in the future and to end further litigation,â Barronnelle rejected the proposed settlement.
She explained, âYour offer reveals that you donât really understand me or what this conflict is all about. Itâs about freedom, not money. I certainly donât relish the idea of losing my business, my home, and everything else that your lawsuit threatens to take from my family, but my freedom to honor God in doing what I do best is more important. Washingtonâs constitution guarantees us âfreedom of conscience in all matters of religious sentiment.â I cannot sell that precious freedom. You are asking me to walk in the way of a well-known betrayer, one who sold something of infinite worth for 30 pieces of silver. That is something I will not do.â
She continued, âI pray that you reconsider your position. I kindly served Rob for nearly a decade and would gladly continue to do so. I truly want the best for my friend. Iâve also employed and served many members of the LGBT community, and I will continue to do so regardless of what happens with this case. You chose to attack my faith and pursue this not simply as a matter of law, but to threaten my very means of working, eating, and having a home. If you are serious about clarifying the law, then I urge you to drop your claims against my home, business, and other assets and pursue the legal claims through the appeal process.â
IRAQI CHRISTIANS FLEE ISLAMIC TERROR. GET REJECTED BY GERMAN-MUSLIM IMMIGRATION EMPLOYEE
Posted on February 18, 2017
Iraqi Christian children look at a nativity scene that is displayed in a tent erected in the grounds of Mazar Mar Eillia Catholic Church, in Ankawa, that has now become home to hundreds of Iraqi Christians who were forced to flee their homes as the Islamic State advanced earlier this year, on December 12, 2014 in Erbil, Iraq / Getty
German broadcaster Welt24 reports, that a few days ago, German politician Wolfgang Bosbach met a Christian Iraqi family in Nordrhein-Westphalia (his constituency), who had recently applied for asylum in Germany.
Bosbach heard them tell how they had fled their country for fear of jihadist violence. Eventually, they reached the part of their story, in which they filled in their asylum application, in one of the foreign offices of the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). There, they faced a BAMF employee with a headscarf, who was going to decide whether or not they, Christians, would get protected status.
Last year, 97.000 Iraqis submitted an application for asylum in Germany. In January, 64.6% of Iraqi asylum applications were successful. The family that Bosbach met however, was rejected, and they told him they felt they were at a disadvantage because of the official who handled their case. Bosbach understood their reasoning:
âI understand the applicantsâ concern that their application may not have been decided upon solely on objective and prejudice-free considerations, (âŠ) when they are Christians telling a headscarf-wearing Muslima that they have suffered persecution by Muslims.â
To Bosbach, it doesnât matter so much, whether or not the official in question really was prejudiced, but merely that âthe applicants have reason to fear that their application might not be objectively decided.â And Bosbach is of the opinion that this fear
âis not entirely ungrounded. Therefore, I cannot understand, why only Muslims in BAMF get to decide whether or not Christians, who fled from radical Muslims, get the right to stay in the Federal Republic of Germany.â
When asked to comment, a spokesperson for BAMF seemed to miss the point when she declared that:
âConstitutionally, women are allowed to wear a headscarf in their place of work, and the employer can only limit that right when there are objective grounds to do so, for example, health and safety issues, when it is detrimental to the peace in the working environment etc.â
Bosbach is not convinced by this line of reasoning:
âApparently, it is not an âobjective groundâ for BAMF, when asylum-applicants fear, that those doing the interviews and making the decisions at BAMF do not view their application in a way that is unprejudiced, neutral and free from preconceived ideas. I canât follow their reasoning.â
The Ministery of Internal Affairs meanwhile, appears to agree with the BAMF. It simply does not consider the headscarf, unlike the Christian cross, to be âa religious symbol in and of itself.â Only in context can it have a comparable meaning. And even that is not considered a problem, as there is no law or regulation against the wearing of religious symbols by civil servants.
The Iraqi family has been urged by Bosbach to make a complaint against the BAMFâs decision. But according to him, theyâre afraid that âtheir complaint will again be judged by someone wearing a headscarf.â
DEUTSCHLAND ASYL VON CHRISTEN
Bosbach kritisiert Kopftuch-Praxis beim BAMF
Von Manuel Bewarder | Stand: 17.02.2017
Vor ein paar Tagen traf Wolfgang Bosbach in seinem Wahlkreis in Nordrhein-Westfalen eine Familie, die Asyl in Deutschland beantragt hatte. Die Menschen berichteten ihm davon, dass sie als Christen aus dem Irak geflĂŒchtet waren, aus Angst vor gewaltbereiten Islamisten. Bosbach, der sich als Innenpolitiker schon lange mit dem Thema Asyl beschĂ€ftigt, hörte zu.
SchlieĂlich erzĂ€hlten sie ihm von den Stunden, als sie ihren Asylantrag in einer der vielen AuĂenstellen des Bundesamtes fĂŒr Migration und FlĂŒchtlinge (BAMF) stellten. Den Irakern saĂ demnach beim Stellen des Antrags eine BAMF-Mitarbeiterin mit Kopftuch gegenĂŒber. Ausgerechnet sie also sollte darĂŒber entscheiden, ob die Christen hierzulande einen Schutzstatus erhalten werden.
Insgesamt rund 97.000 Iraker stellten im vergangenen Jahr einen Asylantrag in Deutschland. Der Irak ist damit eines der HauptherkunftslĂ€nder. Im Monat Januar waren 64,6 Prozent der AsylantrĂ€ge von Irakern erfolgreich. Die Familie, die mit Wolfgang Bosbach sprach, wurde jedoch abgelehnt. Die Iraker erzĂ€hlten ihm, dass sie sich benachteiligt fĂŒhlten, weil ausgerechnet ĂŒber ihren Antrag jemand mit Kopftuch zu entscheiden hatte.
Wolfgang Bosbach kann das nachvollziehen. Wenn diese Christen ihr âVerfolgungsschicksal einer Kopftuch tragenden Muslima schildern mĂŒssen, dann habe ich VerstĂ€ndnis fĂŒr die Besorgnis der Antragsteller, dass ĂŒber ihren Antrag möglicherweise nicht ausschlieĂlich objektiv und vorurteilsfrei entschieden werden könnteâ, sagt der Innenexperte.
