Thilo Sarrazin, the eugenicists
The genes are to blame
Thilo Sarrazin mixed In his new book about the alleged demise of the German half-truths with nonsense - and in a shrill tone. By Ulrike Herrmann & ALKE Wierth
Thilo Sarrazin has written a book of 465 pages, 538 footnotes, 33 tables and 10 charts. The title is conceivable sensational and is "Germany abolishes itself. How do we put our country at risk", but the author is very keen that there should be a scientific work. "I base my remarks on empirical surveys," said the Bundesbank, a Social Democrat and former Berlin Finance Senator.
This "empirical data" appear on Monday, and rarely has a book released in advance of such discussions. For Sarrazin argues decidedly biologistically. For him, the lower class not socially disadvantaged, but genetically less intelligent than the upper class. There were a "negative selection".

Ever Sarrazin writes very much about "selection". Its formulations and "analysis" not only recall the eugenics - they are eugenics.
nothing but prejudice
Sarrazin himself believes that he broke a taboo when he puts it, "that we lose as a people with average intelligence, if the intelligent woman will have fewer or no children to the world." But this is not a taboo - but scientifically untenable.
This starts with the statistics. Thus, Sarrazin convinced "that exceeds the proportion of childless university graduates, the 40 percent mark." His proof: a weekly report of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW). But who studied the literature cited, in for a surprise. For the DIW can discover academics only childlessness of 23 percent.
Sarrazin is even more grotesque interpretation of genetics. He introduces himself to human intelligence on how the color of a pea, which is inherited according to Mendel's laws strictly. Although he has
heard that the environment is not negligible. But it is sufficient to be stated that intelligence inherited from 50 to 80 percent "was to the Germans recommended to work on their genetic material to prevent the mass stupidity.
Sarrazin is not so much that he wants to ban the lower classes altogether, having children. Instead, he wants to control by the academics to be more fruitful. Programmatically, a chapter called: "More children from the wise, before it is too late."
This was precisely the program of eugenics in the 19th Century by Francis Galton was invented. Sarrazin relies on him to explicitly - but without using the word eugenics. Very accurately, but he used the term "dysgenic" which is without the context of eugenics did not understand and which was invented in 1915 to "negative to describe selection processes "in a human population.
This recourse to theorists of the 19th and early 20th century, runs through the entire book. Sarrazin consistently ignored all the evidence for modern intelligence and genetic research. Because then he would have had to take note that the image of the gene has changed considerably.
As always, clearly, there is no deterministic connection between genes and characteristics such as intelligence. Meanwhile, the entire human genome decoded. But an "intelligence gene" was not discovered. Apparently, numerous genes contribute to the brain is a - and whether they are activated at all and how they interact with each other depends much on external suggestions.
showed any event, in adoption studies, that lower-class children can easily reach a mature high school IQ of 107 - if they are ingested by culturally-minded middle class families.
Although Sarrazin attacks the entire lower class, it is primarily the "Muslim immigrants", of which he feels threatened. They are parasites, which seeks "not their own economic success," but "the protection and fees supported by the welfare state."
miss this Sarrazin, how many immigrants seek to free itself from dependence on benefits, by their own small businesses found that yield only at great effort and the utmost self-exploitation in general revenue. Sarrazin for these independent existences but are not anything special, but "an expression and result of the lack of educational advancement" of migrants - they are simply too stupid for other jobs.
praises Elsewhere, the economist, however, that the self-employment rate among the locals was still higher than the immigrant population - the traditional German are still so stupid?
Everything is trimmed down
On the topic of education, he sorted the facts fit. For Sarrazin is clear that not the German school system, but only leads to lack of intelligence of Muslim migrants to the bad PISA results. For Finland, and Korea would win two countries which, although very different school systems, but hardly had immigration.
This will not fit, that the Netherlands has many Muslim immigrants - and are in fourth place in Pisa.
also Sarrazin, who is married to a teacher sees that would improve some things in German schools. His approach does not sound bad: schools need to "enable every man to him in accordance - and the best - to make of itself."
But then he adds: It just does not bring any with the necessary conditions. "The best school for a stupid child does not wise" - stupid is stupid.
That the Muslim migrants themselves must be to blame is assigned for Sarrazin just because Eastern Europeans and Asians are easily integrated into the education system. So it must be their "mentality", the Muslim immigrant children often fail to leave the school.
belong to this "culturally conditioned" mentality that Muslim boys prefer to remain among themselves, women refused any respect and love their teachers as "bastards" titled.
cited as evidence the Arab-Sarrazin, Berlin-Neukölln social workers Fadi Saad: "With education you get cozy in these jaded guys do not continue," said Saad, himself a former gang member. At the same time these reports nor that it was standard practice in schools in Lebanon to show off clean fingernails - and welcome to unthinkable, the teacher as a "son of a bitch."
Apparently there are no mentality, which is imported from the culture of origin - otherwise the behavior of Muslim youth in Berlin and in Lebanon, not so different.
Just Sarrazin is strange assertion that it is precisely among the Muslims of the criminal youth growing up in the future. Although the Berlin crime statistics, in young Intensive offenders an exceptionally high number of non-Germans. But by Sarrazin as Eastern Europeans are so integrated vowed there first and the Vietnamese in third place.
Sarrazin also has to concede that "95 percent" of about four million Muslims in Germany "peaceful" are. But the suspicions are anything but reassuring, as these "culturally distinct minority" was exposed to the current trends of global Islam - the ado Sarrazin describes as Islamist and tend to be terrorist.
He ignores that Islam among Muslims living in difficult encounters of interest: Not even 5 percent belonging to a local Islamic organization or any of the federations to - who have also long since distanced themselves from terrorism. The overwhelming majority of Muslims will obviously not for the construction of mosques still involved with the headscarf issue.
sided and wrong
All this hides Sarrazin. He also relates very biased solely on texts from the "multiculturalism has failed" school. Professionals with other approaches such as the migration researcher Klaus Bade, a professor of intercultural education Yasemin Karakasoglu or Islam expert Werner Schiffauer he is not ready.
Instead, he cited a lot and like Necla Kelek, which is known as a sharp critic of Islam, and also controversial. But tell yourself Sarrazin Kelek's attacks on critics nor what kind of person he is. One can but a Turkish-German woman did not stamp the German Nationals, his logic. German is not for Sarrazin also Necla Kelek.
