Talk:Hostile Takeover: How Islam Impedes Progress and Threatens Society

Politician and SPD, and reception
In the lead section, Sarazzin is mentioned as a politician. Which he is not. He has been a finance senator in Berlin, but that was a long time ago. He was a board member of the Bundesbank until 2010, and since then is a retiree. He does not hold any political office. In 2018, when the book was published, he was 73 years old. He is a (retired) economist, and a non-fiction writer, but not a politician. As for his SPD-membership, this was put into question by prominent party members when his first book was published in 2010, and since there have been three attempts to expell him from the party. His party-membership terminated in 2020, so formally he was a SPD-member when the book was published, in 2018, but reading the article after 2020 this does not give an accurate description of the facts. And finally, I think the Reception section is a little imbalanced in that it mentions only three professional reviews (out of many more) and does not mention the public reception of the book: it was a #1 bestseller in Germany, as was his first book. The fact that Johanna Fink wrote a negative review of the book on the day of publication ia a little peculiar, don't you think? How can she have actually read the book, consumed it thoroughly and write a sound review of it, before it was even published? And the review in the Tages Anzeiger is biased because the Tages Anzeiger is a left-leaning daily and as everybody knows, the leftists are diversity- and inclusion disciples and don't want to hear any negative remarks on their electoral base. Does not matter what the truth is, they're our voters so keep your hands off them. Hansung02 (talk) 01:41, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
