1. Uwe Ostertag calls his pictures with fake quotes “satire”. However, they are used for pure agitation.

We have already several times about Ostertag's fake quote images. At the beginning of 2017 he also got into legal trouble because of this, but that doesn't seem to have been a lesson to him: new pictures are now in circulation.

Here are some examples:

This picture was distributed by a politician, among others

“We should not make a drama out of a few students having to memorize verses from the Koran; Sooner or later Islam will become a compulsory subject.”

“There wouldn’t be half as many rapes if women stayed at home during twilight and night times for safety reasons.”

“Crime in Germany has fallen so much in the last 25 years that no woman has to be afraid to walk alone through the city park to the train station at night”

 

What all these pictures have in common : In each picture it says “In Satira by Uwe Ostertag” in small font. These quotes are all fictitious !
However, many people seem to overlook this, or perhaps they want to overlook it:

Again clearly:

The quotes on those pictures are not real ! Words are put into politicians' mouths that they have never said in the same way or in a similar way. It also has nothing to do with “satire” if it simply lies. No matter how many times you can say “He/she could have said it,” that doesn’t make these false quotes any truer.

You can find even more of these false quotes and false claims in a separate article .
