前原外相を辞任に追い込んだ20万円の献金
日本では人口減少が重大な問題となっており、もっと外国人を受け入れるべきかどうかが長年の懸案になっている。そうしたときに、政治家が、在日韓国人に「外国人」というレッテルを貼っていていいのだろうか。
The fact that politicians labelled such an individual a “foreigner” may suggest something potentially worse Japan’s continued problems accepting foreigners in a time of population decline and major questions about the nation’s future.
問題とされているのは、韓国人という国籍、外国人という法的地位である。国籍を取っていないという理由で、在米日本人を外国人というレッテルを貼っていけない理由はないのと同様、在日韓国人を外国人というレッテルを貼っていけない理由はない。
日本人と外国人が、普段は同じ仲間でも、国籍取得の差異により、違う扱いを受けることは当然ありえる。
さらに、これと人口減少、移民受け容れ問題は別問題である。
英語圏の日本関連記事は、移民受け容れに云々につなげればいいとでもおもっているかのようである。思考能力を疑う。
強いて、今回の問題で問題にすべきなのは、
前原外相辞任―外国人と政治献金
在日外国人の献金は確かに法に触れる。だが、国会や街中の議論で「外国人献金問題」と抽象化した瞬間、焼き肉屋のおばちゃんのいきさつは消し飛び、まるで国家間の諜報(ちょうほう)を論じるようだ。その間に互いに本音で話しあえる大切なものが落っこちていないか。
今回、ことさらに「国益」をうんぬんし、「外交問題が起こった時にどちら側に立つか」と問うような批判は、当たっていたのだろうか。

といった権力争い、そして、権力争いの実況中継、煽りにうつつを抜かす政治家・メディア。
外国人献金、国籍確認は困難…政界波及の恐れも
民主党の前原誠司前外相の辞任の原因となった外国人からの政治献金は、献金者のチェックが難しく、再発防止には課題も多い。
権力争いに一石を投じたその波紋が自民党にまで及んで、これまたくだらない権力争いにうつつを抜かす羽目にならないか、ということであろう。
立法府のメンバーなら今後こうした問題がおきないように、自分たちを律する立法で対処すべき。ぎゃーぎゃーやっているよりその方が建設的。

Police are out in full force in China as Beijing has again warned against citizens starting the sort of protests sweeping the Middle East.
The massive police deployments are being seen as a sign of the Communist Party's nervousness at the civil unrest and revolutions across the Arab world.

Italian far right get boost amidst country’s economic troubles

Unemployment in Italy is at a near record high, and a disconnect between lawmakers and the electorate in Italy is growing with opposition virtually dominated by anti-Berlusconi rhetoric.
Italy's "Dolce Vita" is turning bitter. Analysts believe much-needed economic growth might still be years away.
Meanwhile, grass-roots political movements are cashing in on this grim state of affairs – and among them, neo-fascist ones.
Casa Pound is Italy's most prominent and fast-growing radical-right movement. Its headquarters is located in the Esquilino quarter, the multicultural, multi-ethnic heart of Rome – a bustling community of Asian, Middle-Eastern and North African residents living side-by-side.
Casa Pound's support has grown alongside the unemployment rate. A staggering 29 per cent of Italian youths are currently without a job.
"Italy is a country of old people. It is hard for the young to find a job, or make their voices heard. We are not only a generation deprived of our future, but also of our present," says student Francesco Polacchi.

Racism runs rife in Hume
LOCAL NEWS
8 MAR 11 @ 06:00AM BY KATE SWAN
A BROADMEADOWS Arabic organisation has criticised racism in Hume that has seen residents harassed at school and work.
Broadmeadows’ Victorian Arabic Social Services manager Leila Alloush said children who knew nothing about terrorism had been called “bin Laden” in school playgrounds and spat on.
It comes as new research from the University of Western Sydney shows that residents from northern outer Melbourne, including Hume, have racist experiences above the state and national average.
About a third of residents who speak a language other than English at home say they have experienced racism in the workplace and at shops or restaurants. More than half said they had been called names or insulted.
When asked what cultural or ethnic groups did not fit into Australian society, an extraordinary 40 per cent of people participating in the Challenging Racism project said Muslims, but fewer than 3 per cent mentioned extremists, radicals or fanatics.

Lack of proper support for new migrants 'fuels ethnic-based crime surges'
Sally Neighbour From: The Australian March 08, 2011 12:00AM
THE failure to provide adequate support services for successive waves of new migrants and refugees has fuelled a series of ethnic crime surges, according to senior police, veteran investigators and criminologists.
An investigation by The Australian into ethnically based crime reveals a pattern of crime spikes following large-scale Vietnamese immigration in the 1970s, Lebanese migration in the 70s and 80s and the arrival of refugees from the Horn of Africa in the past decade, all of whom experienced a lack of social and economic services and moral support.
"It's not surprising to see gangs forming within ethnic groups when they're all experiencing the same difficulties and stresses, (so) they stay together for safety and support," says former NSW assistant commissioner Clive Small. "It's also not surprising to see them going off the tracks when the government has encouraged substantial migration to Australia, but then doesn't provide the support networks for the families or individual people."
・・・・・
None of the police or experts interviewed by The Australian supported the assertion that multiculturalism leads to crime, but most argued ethnically based criminal activity was a reality that must be acknowledged.
"Complete denial of ethnicity in organised crime is very stupid," said Paul Wilson, head of criminology at Bond University. "There is a lot of evidence . . . that some gangs are ethnically based, and while it may be politically correct to say they're not, I think the facts fly in the face of that assertion." He said crime was often fuelled by socio-economic disadvantage in new ethnic communities, which lessened over time.

Interior minister reignites debate over Islam in Germany
Hans-Peter Friedrich's comments on Islam not being a key part of the German way of life have landed Berlin's new interior minister in the middle of a growing imbroglio.
Reactions to Hans-Peter Friedrich's statements about the role of Islam in Germany gained volume on Saturday, March 5, as the new interior minister reiterated his comments on Islam.
Friedrich had created a fresh round of furor over integration in Germany shortly after taking over the position of interior minister. Islam is not a key part of the German way of life, Friedrich told journalists last week on his first day on the job.
"Successful integration requires two things: knowledge of the social reality in Germany - where about 4 million Muslims live - and a clear awareness of the Western Christian origin of our culture," he said in Berlin on Saturday.
Friedrich added that he wanted to initiate a dialogue "in this sense" with his fellow Muslim citizens.
Learning the language
The new interior minister also said everyone living or growing up in Germany must "first and foremost learn German." He said his chief goal as interior minister was to "bring society together and not polarize it."
Politicians have weighed in on both sides of the issue, with some, like Christian Social Union general secretary Alexander Dobrindt saying, Islam "is not part of German culture."
The chairman of the liberal-Islamic Federation, Lamya Kaddor, called the words of the minister a "slap in the face of Muslims."
Such statements are not only politically and historically wrong," Kaddor said. "I think they are dangerous."
This kind of approach could negate any progress in the debate on Islam in recent years and weaken the dialogue with many Muslims, according to Kaddor.

New German minister: Islam does not belong in Germany
Hans-Peter Friedrich's comment comes in context of probe into killing of two U.S. airmen at Frankfurt Airport believed to be motivated by radical Islamist beliefs.
By Danna Harman
Just three days into the job, Germany's new interior minister is already causing his government a headache after wading into a highly delicate debate about multiculturalism and claiming Islam was not a key part of the German way of life. "Islam in Germany is not something supported by history at any point," Hans-Peter Friedrich told journalists on his first day as Thomas de Maiziere's replacement on Thursday.
Friedrich was speaking in the context of a probe by German authorities into last Wednesday's killing of two U.S. airmen at Frankfurt Airport, in which it is believed the 21-year-old Kosovan suspect Arid Uka was a lone operator motivated by radical Islamist beliefs. His comments were a play on words, turning on its head an earlier remark made several months ago by German President Christian Wulff, who said Islam now "belongs to Germany" because of the 4 million Muslims who live there.

微妙な発言ではある。
それよりも、やはり、外国人移民のドイツ語習得が問題にされている。
これが、移民にとっても従来のドイツ国民にとっても問題の種になる。
移民問題の最低ラインなので、この点、日本も最重要視すべき。
