PI self-declared goal is to bring news to a wider public attention which it perceives to be ignored or suppressed in what PI declared as "the mainstream media" due to a pervading "leftist political correctness".[6] The site has no imprint or legal details; the editors and authors are disguised.
Politically Incorrect was founded in 2004, soon after the re-election of George W. Bush, by a German teacher named Stefan Herre "to do something against Anti-Americanism"; its popularity surged in the wake of the Muhammad cartoons controversy the following year.[4] It is one of the most successful German blogs,[4][5] receiving several tens of thousand visitors each day and ranking among the thousand biggest German websites in terms of traffic.[8] The site ranked ninth in March 2013 among German blogs in terms of public resonance in virtual social networks.[9] The blog is interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments within a certain time limit.
Herre has also been on the board of advisors of the organisation Stop Islamization of Nations (SION),[10] and participated in the 2007 international counter-jihad conference in Brussels.[11]
Receptionedit
The blog has been widely criticized by German media for inciting Islamophobia and equating Islam as a whole with Islamic extremism.[4][5] The blog's internet shop sells items with the slogan "Islamophobic and proud of it".[4] Herre says his Islamophobia is without shame: "Phobia is fear, and I'm afraid of Islam."[4]
The SPD politician Sebastian Edathy, a spokesman for the party on interior affairs, views Politically Incorrect as a vehicle of right-wing populist agitation.[12] It is not observed, however, by the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution which sees it as differing from right-wing extremism in its support of a democratic order and basic rights, as well as its pro-Israel stance.[4][13] Even so, the Munich local group which cooperates with the German Freedom Party is monitored by the Bavarian branch of the office since April 2013.[7]
