From left to right:

  1. New Germans? We’ll make them ourselves. Have faith in yourself Germany.
  2. Burka? I prefer Burgundy (wine). Have faith in yourself Germany.
  3. Islam? It’s doesn’t fit our cuisine. Have faith in yourself Germany.

From left to right:

  1. For a family-friendly policy. Children! Are! Fun! [Sort of implied pun on Making children is fun]
  2. No passport – no entry. Protect the borders.
  3. Islam doesn’t belong in Germany. [Hard to translate this German phrase precisely. You could also say “Islam is not a part of Germany”.] The freedom of the woman is non-negotiable!

Burkas? We prefer bikinis. Have faith in yourself Germany.

Colourful diversity? We’ve got enough already. Have faith in yourself Germany.


These posters are well done, anti-Islam but not in an aggressive way. They manage to evoke a good-humoured sense of national togetherness, while making it clear that Islam just doesn’t belong. Patriotic parties and movements should takes these as a model for how to reach out to normies.
