Beim gestrigen EM-Spiel haben die Deutschen anfangs wie eine Schar kopfloser Hühner gegen die starken Schweizer agiert, bis der frisch eingewechselte Niclas Füllkrug in der Nachspielzeit den Ausgleichstreffer zum 1:1 erzielte.

Keine Ahnung, was all die Redakteure und Blogger dazu treibt, unter der Rubrik “Comic” fast ausschliesslich sogenannten Graphiknovellen zu huldigen, die das Medium Comic der Belletristik gleichstellen wollen, am Ende aber häufig weder das eine noch das andere sind, sondern nur hochtrabende Geschichten, die in mittelmässige Bilder umgesetzt wurden.
I have been saying this for many years: secularism, or rather the idea of a predominantly secularist state, i.e. a state separate from organized religion, is not simply a Western idea that has no traction in societies in the rest of the world. A notable article in Aeon argues on behalf of Iranian secularism and why proponents of postcolonialist theory fundamentally misunderstand it:
Wer Darwins Evolutionstheorie in anzweifelt, ist nicht unbedingt Anhänger eines christlich begründeten “intelligent design”.Der österreichische Schriftsteller Egon Friedell (1878-1939) hat versucht, die Entstehung der Arten gegen Darwin zu erklären, ohne sicb auf die Religion zu berufen.

More than ten years ago I published an article on Alexander the Great in the political discourse of the 19th century Levantine national movements when he struck a chord with the masses and was the perfect historical poster child for all manner of independence efforts from the Ottoman Empire.
Western colonialism has many devastating stories to tell that still are not part of the public memory. One such story is the destruction of a center of Chinese learning in the 19th century under German occupation that dates back to the year of 1898, when the Germans occupied a bay in Shandong province.
Schon in der ersten Zeile des Romans geht es los:
“Geräusche hinter der Wand, als würde ein Lastwagen immer wieder versuchen, durch die Wände durchzukommen.“
Elias Canetti in his memoir recalls an event as of July 15, 1927 that became photographed on his brain. At that time, workers were shot in Burgenland, Austria, but the murderers were acquitted. That caused an uproar in Vienna.
