(NEWS) Internet Extremism Growing In Germany

"Right-wing extremism on the Internet is increasing in Germany, including hateful material in disguise, according to a watchdog group.

For example, songs from a CD with radically anti-Semitic lyrics are among the YouTube offerings that may attract the unsuspecting, Stefan Glaser, a lead researcher for the Jugendschutz organization, told Die Welt newspaper upon the release of an annual report on youth protection, which his group compiled together with the Central Agency for Political Education and 'Online Advisors Against Right-Wing Extremism.'

Glaser described the CD marketed online as 'Merkel's Bedtime Stories for Children aged 3-8,' and bearing the image of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, which actually contains 21 songs with lyrics that deny the Holocaust or call for the murder of blacks and Jews. Some of the songs may be found on YouTube."
