Citizen Times
Citizenship is a "relationship between an individual and a state to which the individual owes allegiance and in turn is entitled to its protection". Each state determines the conditions under which it will recognize persons as its citizens, and the conditions under which that status will be withdrawn. Recognition by a state as a citizen generally carries with it recognition of civil, political, and social rights which are not afforded to non-citizens. In general, the basic rights normally regarded as arising from citizenship are the right to a passport, the right to leave and return to the country/ies of citizenship, the right to live in that country, and to work there. Some countries permit their citizens to have multiple citizenships, while others insist on exclusive allegiance.

Blasphemy Law
A blasphemy law is a law prohibiting blasphemy, which is the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. According to Pew Research Center, about a quarter of the world's countries and territories (26%) had anti-blasphemy laws or policies as of 2014. In some states, blasphemy laws are used to protect the religious beliefs of a majority, while in other countries, they serve to offer protection of the religious beliefs of minorities. In addition to prohibitions against blasphemy or blasphemous libel, blasphemy laws include all laws which give redress to those insulted on account of their religion. These blasphemy laws may forbid: the vilification of religion and religious groups, defamation of religion and its practitioners, denigration of religion and its followers, offending religious feelings, or the contempt of religion. Some blasphemy laws, such as those formerly existing i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Preußische Allgemeine Zeitung
The ''Preußische Allgemeine Zeitung'' (PAZ) is a German weekly newspaper published by the Landsmannschaft Ostpreußen. It was previously called the ''Ostpreußenblatt'' and was aimed mainly at German post-war expellees from parts of Central and Eastern Europe. The ''Ostpreußenblatt'' was first published in April 1950.

The ''Preußische Allgemeine Zeitung'' states its political alignment to be "Prussian conservative". It has been accused by the journalist Anton Maegerle of providing a platform for extreme right-wing authors. The newspaper itself objected to this association and a description to that effect in a German Wikipedia article, issuing a press release which took issue with this classification and publishing an article in support of their position by the French politic ...
