Germany calls for action to halt spread of cyber hate
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 08 - 07 - 2009


Germany's justice minister called Today on
public authorities and internet users to play a greater role in
halting the spread of what is being called cyber hate, according to dpa.
"We will fail if we do not include civil society in the fight
against hate on the internet," Brigitte Zypries told an international
conference in Berlin.
Zypries said neo-Nazis and Islamic radicals were taking advantage
of the anonymity of the internet to spread hatred and broadcast
misinformation disguised as fact.
In Germany there are around 1,600 web pages with an extreme
right-wing content, about 10 per cent of which are "criminally
relevant," said Heinz Fromm, president of Germany's domestic
intelligence service.
There are also around 750 extremist videos and profiles on
websites, the home pages give the impression they are regular sites
for young people, according to the youth protection group
jugendschutz.net.
In order to circumvent European Union laws that prevent such hate
sites, extremists often use internet providers in countries where no
such regulations are in place, Zypries said.
Hate websites were blamed this week for contributing to the murder
of a 31-year-old Egyptian woman by a man described by prosecutors as
"a fanatical racist."
Marwa el-Shirbini was stabbed to death in a courtroom in Dresden
as she was about to give evidence against the man, accused of
insulting her because she was a Muslim.
A coordinating council representing Germany's four main national
Islamic bodies charged that she was a victim of the hate websites
that had sprung up after Germany had tried to prevent women teachers
wearing headscarfs.
