Sie fand in einem Hörsaal einer deutschen Universität statt, organisiert von Muslimischen Studierenden unter schweren Auflagen. Es war eine Veranstaltung die nicht so verlief wie es die Organisator*innen planten, der Redner stand wohl unter Druck,…

Die Katana in der Luft. So schnell wie der Blitz. Die Klinge blitzt im Sonnenschein, leises summen. Schwingungen drängen in dein Ohr. Als du dich umdrehst saust das Schwert in einem Bogen auf dich zu. Deine Augen aufgerissen, Körper erstarrt. Blut kaltes Eis. Fest gefroren. Dein Herz pocht, noch. Das einzige, dass sich traut sich…
