Mannheim (dpa) – The controversial singer Xavier Naidoo (44) has triggered a new debate with an anti-war song. The song of author Jürgen Todenhöfer was posted on Thursday – one day before the parliamentary decision for a Bundeswehr mission in Syria. “No more war” was clicked more than two million times on Facebook until Friday afternoon.
In the song with quiet, soft sounds, there are some provocative lines as: “Muslims wear the new Jewish star, all terrorists, we have not liked.” Pretending as stood Muslims in Germany and in the West shortly before a genocide, was “to offer stupidity, audacity and malice hardly”, it said in the blog Ruhrbarone.de.
The line “No more war, if we do not say that may then runs something wrong, “met with criticism. Nobody forbids it in Germany, to be public for or against a war, it said about the page Tonspion.de.
On Facebook the song sparked a wave of comments from, many of which were positive. “So quite honestly. I do not like the Jammer-Xavier actually But the song I share,” wrote one user.
Todenhöfer, who wrote a fiction book about the so-called Islamic State, warned on Facebook against a military intervention in Syria. “For 14 years we can not even defeat the Taliban with our bombs. When more dangerous IS the haphazard Bombardiererei will be even less successful”, criticized the former CDU MP.
Naidoo did not express an opinion about his new song on Friday. On Facebook, he shared the video and wrote: “Help us to spread this message”
The singer from Mannheim applies for political statements as controversial. The NDR had Naidoo called up in November as the only German candidates for the Euro Vision Song Contest 2016 in Sweden, but his nomination withdrawn after significant protests.
The singer had resisted the criticism: “With all my being I stand for a cosmopolitan and hospitable Germany and a respectful and peaceful interaction with each other,” he was quoted by the NDR.
