It is the third attempt. "Our goal is Thilo Sarrazin from the SPD ruled out," said Lars Klingbeil, the Secretary General of the SPD, today on Twitter.

In summer, had submitted to the former Finance Senator of Berlin and former Federal Bank Board of a new book. "Hostile Takeover", subtitle: "How Islam hinders progress and the society is threatened".

The 73-Year-old is the Islam for a culturally inferior violence ideology. They draw, among other things, by "oppression of women, headscarf, forced, above average crime, average education, high birth rate, backwardness in the countries of origin and so on," said Sarrazin at the presentation of the book in Berlin. And he believes that, thanks to their high birth Muslims could take over in two or three generations, the majority in Germany.

Actual Expertise: Finance

With theses like these, Sarrazin makes since soon ten years. At the beginning of the Millennium, he was first of all only the people of Berlin known because he met as Senator of Finance, a series of riskier, more expensive decisions. In 2009, he joined the Executive Board of the Bundesbank, and made a short top with a newspaper interview on the subject of Integration. He had no one to acknowledge, he said at the time, the concern is reasonable for the education of his children, and "constantly new headscarf-girls" produce.

Berlin SPD-Kreisverband tried to see him from the party to exclude. His racist positions are not compatible with the SPD, it said. The procedure failed.

in 2010, Sarrazin then nationally known. In his book "Germany abolishes itself" was a connection between immigration, heritage, and education. Week-long book lists at number one in the sale and was passionate opponents as well as supporters.

Last amicable agreement

The Bundesbank, went on a distance to him. The SPD tried again with the exclusion, because Sarrazin refused to leave the party voluntarily. In the end it was an amicable agreement. Sarrazin insured, he stand by the principles of social democracy, as a result, the exclusion set method.

This ceasefire is finished. A Commission of inquiry on the SPD has now analysed current Sarrazin's Statements, said the Secretary-General Klingbeil today. "She comes to the conclusion that the theses Sarrazin's are not with the principles of the SPD to be compatible", and that he will add to the party for heavy damage, so Klingbeil. The party planning procedure is now in an arbitration Commission, which has six months.

Thilo Sarrazin is not the new method of exclusion personally. It was part of the intra-party struggle for power the future line of the SPD, the author believes. The "daily mirror" he said that he had injured in his new book, social democratic principles. And this is true also for his previous publications. The decision to proceed, if necessary, legally.
