Contradictional statements

Some contradictional disputes were going on in the last weeks:

The French president who wants to prevent the use of nuclear energy in Iran threatens so-called terrorists with France´s own nuclear-bombs. The Iranian president denies the holocaust, threatens Israel with annihilation and calls the German chancellor wanting to be like Hitler. Before this, the German chancellor compared the Iranian politics to those of the Nazis. The American government which never cared much about international contracts and agreements (let it be Kyoto, the International Criminal Court or the UN), who build new nuclear power stations in Alaska and who do not even think about reducing their own nuclear weapons from the cold war aera, start arming against Iran, because the Iranians insist on their soverign right of the use of nuclear energy.
Some silly and tasteless caricatures, published in a Danish newspaper last autumn cause demonstrations, riots and the burning of European embassies in countries thousands of miles away 4 months later. The American government who had critizised "Old-Europe" for its anti-war-poltitics in case of the attack against Iraq not long ago and who caused serious blasphemous attacks against Muslim people in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, now is suddenly very understanding for the hurted sentiments in the Muslim world.
Before this had happened, some conservative politicians in the South-German state of Baden-Württemberg created a so-called "Muslim-test" especially for muslim people who want to attain the German citizenship, including f.e. a question containing the acceptance for homosexuality, while during the same time a conservative minister (same party) of the same state had to retire, because a catholic bishop had criticised his liberal attitude towards the homosexual scene.

Seems, they all went crazy or what?

Hehe, the muslim-test sounds strange. Thankfully it didn't hit the news.
