Anti-Semitism, often attributed to the faculty in Berlin during the Wilhelminian period and the Republic of Weimar, B. regarded as an utterly unsuitable criterion of personnel politics. Consequently he had a considerable number of Jewish assistants as staff, about 30 alltogether. ln 1933 when massive persecution set in, quite a few of his students and assistants were persecuted for their political views. Some emigrated right away; others Bonhoeffer re-employed in spite of their membership in illegal leftist parties. Even larger was the number of assistants who were racially persecuted. Bonhoeffer took advantage of loop holes in the anti-Semitic legalities, using complaints at the ministry or cleverly written applications to extend con- tracts even against high odds. ln spite of his support, however, they eventually were fired and had to emigrate. They often found work in other countries because of his recommendations, though. For at least one assistant and one patient as well as their families, Bonhoeffer's commitment saved their lives.

Diese Themenverschiebung wurde begünstigt durch Eingriffe des Verlages in das Manuskript und eine einseitige Textauswahl bei Vorabdrucken in der Presse. - In analoger Anwendung ähnlicher Überlegungen H. E. Tödts wird zwischen rassistischer, religiöser und soziokultureller Islamfeindschaft unterschieden, Islamfeindschaft als gruppenbezogene Menschenfeindlichkeit definiert und von legitimer Islamkritik abgegrenzt. Sarrazin wird vor allem der rassistischen, in geringerem Maß auch der soziokulturellen Islamfeindschaft zugeordnet, weil er das Erbgut der „MuslimInnnen“ für besonders schlecht hält, den Islam als „Ethnie“ versteht und „Ethnie“ und „Rasse“ für austauschbare Begriffe hält. In der deutschen Öffentlichkeit stößt dagegen viel öfter der Islam als Religionsgemeinschaft oder der muslimische Kulturkreis auf Kritik; von Islamfeindschaft sollte dort gesprochen werden, wo die Religionsfreiheit der MuslimInnen zur Disposition gestellt wird oder Menschen allein ihrer Herkunft wegen eine islamistische Gesinnung unterstellt wird.
Thilo Sarrazin’s bestseller „Deutschland schafft sich ab“ („Germany does away itself“) is dealing with eugenics and population policy. But in the following debate people discussed Islam as religion and the German integration policy. The change in focus was facilitated by changes of the text made by the publisher and a one-sided selection of text for preprints in newspapers. – Using analogue deliberations of H. E. Tödt a distinction is made between racist, religious and socio-cultural islamophobia. Hostility towards islam is defined as group-focused Enmity and differentiated from a legitimate criticism of Islam. Sarrazin’s islamophobia can be characterized as a racist islamophia and , to a lesser extent, as socio-cultural islamophobia. He is convinced that muslims have a worse genotype, he interprets muslims as an ethnic group and identifies ethnic group and “race”. In contrast, the German public rather criticizes Islam in its religious aspects or cultural patterns. If religious freedom is put at disposal or if people are imputed an islamist ideology just because of their ancestry, we call it “hostility against Islam”.
