Translated from http://www.prensa.com - BERLIN, Germany (EFE) .- An atheist book for children has touched off a controversy in Germany and the author, Michael Schmidt-Salomon, has been accused of anti-Semitism even by the profile that makes a rabbi who, according to some commentators, recalls the cartoons that were made of Jews in the 30's. The Family Ministry has asked the Central Writings dangerous for Youth to consider its inclusion on a list that warns about cultural products drawbacks for young people. Schmidt-Salomon has defended the accusation of anti-Semitism and has been allowed even joke about it to recall that when the creation of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany Past, Iranian television accused him of being an "agent of Israel ". "Until recently told Iranian television that I was an agent of Israel, with the Central Council of Muslims had launched an attack against Islam typically Jewish. Therefore, the anti-Semitic label is good for my resume. Should not Israel had many agents who are anti-Semitic, "said Schmidt-Salomon on its website. In fact the book, entitled "What is the path to God?, Asked the pig," also has been criticized for reducing the three monotheistic religions to their fundamentalist currents. The central characters are a pig and a hedgehog, who seek to start a conversation about God in the emerging ultra malparados a rabbi, a Muslim imam and a bishop. Schmidt-Salomon, chairman of the Giordano Bruno Foundation, which aims to propagate secular thought in Germany, has responded to such criticism by suggesting that religiosity is always true fundamentalist. "We must not make the mistake of confusing religion with the true light religion. That most people in this country not suffering from an obsession that only religious or suffer homeopathic dose not mean that it is not socially significant in the world, "said Schmidt-Salomon. For Schmid-Salomon, the religious obsession as an epidemic progresses for him and his book is an alternative for parents atheists or agnostics who tries to compensate some of the many children's books that exist with religious content.
