Famous quotes

“Because my daughter goes to the Friday demos, I will no longer be heating in the children’s room. If our children think we could drive this world with a little bit of sun and wind, then we parents should put a hamster wheel with a dynamo in their children’s room. Then they can charge their cell phones. ”

The starting point was the dispute with the Muslim Erhat Toka, who reported Nuhr in 2014 for hate speech and abuse and described him as a “hate preacher”. Nuhr also took legal action against this designation, but failed. Due to this fact, it can now be called so without any consequences.
