Sunday message on 20th October 2019
What has drowned within a couple of days in the flood of information in Germany, and is of course unbeknownst to Americans since it deals with a local politicians some of us Germans might not have known if it hadn't been for the Union's loss of its sister party's absolute majority in its homeland of Bavaria, Freie Wähler's (FW) Hubert Aiwanger suggested that his country (whether he spoke about Germany or Bavaria is of no interest) would be much safer if all of us law-abiding men and women carried knives with us to protect ourselves. Immediately, the media and the internet rushed against him with full force. It came to my mind to wonder: How different are Germany and the US when it comes to the right of self-protection? That's why today's Sunday Message is in English.
