German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday slammed those countries in Europe who say they won’t take in Muslim refugees, a position that several eastern European governments have taken in response to the influx of migrants from the Islamic world.
“How the individual components are weighted will have to be seen,” said Merkel. But she reiterated her stance that blocking refugees based on their religion was misguided. “What I continue to think is wrong is that some say ‘we generally don’t want Muslims in our country, regardless of whether there’s a humanitarian need or not,’” she said. “We’re going to have to keep discussing that.”
...Poland says Merkel is wrong to criticize European Union partners who are refusing to give refugee protection to Muslims. Poland’s deputy foreign minister, Konrad Szymanski, said in an interview Monday on state-run Radio Three that countries such as Poland which reject EU-negotiated refugee quotas are in line with the public mood. Szymanski was responding to Merkel’s criticism of EU countries, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, that have rebuffed EU plans to share responsibility across the 28-nation bloc for sheltering people fleeing war and poverty. “I believe it is harmful to Europe and is already bringing far-reaching opposition,” he said, adding that such views were common in Western Europe as well, where people “feel less and less safe.” Szymanski said forcing migrant quotas on EU nations violates their right to decide their own national policies and threatens European integration.

Here in Poland I support taking any Christian refugees that escape from the ME
Merkel should be checking into whether she can still get a STASI pension.
George Soros told her to do that.
Maybe it’s Merkel, and not only Hillary, who is suffering from dementia.
She’s stuck on stupid
Out of the last 900+ that Obama sneaked in, TWO were Christian. He is the most bigoted president we have ever had, and he should be hanged around Hillary’s neck as she tried to succeed him.
IMO, she has certainly sold her soul to someone. But I believe they weren’t Germans.
When they start attacking they’ll be yelling , “MERKEL MERKEL”
Sharing her old nazi proclivities. The Germans and islamists were allied then, and so are now.
The European mindset remains from Shakespeare’s “The Merchant Of Venice” to this day.
Anybody can say they are Christian - that does not make them Christian. Even if they were Christian, that does not mean they are compatible with Western life-styles. Some cultures are incompatible. This is shown, for example, by the "Christian" Somalis we have been importing.
Germans are going to reject Merkel pretty soon.
She’s gone off the deep end on this muslim illegal immigrant thing.
Good.
Invariably and eventually the stupidity displayed by the German leadership especially Angela Merkel, always will catch up with its perpetrator in some form or another as it always has in the past. In order for all those asylum seekers to become productive participants in the German economy their mindset, customs, religion as well as behavior which was formed over millennia’s, most of it working against them would have to undergo a drastic change and this will take generations until it is all bread out of them.
In the mean and between time I expect some bad and tumultuous times ahead. If Europeans were so concerned and felt compassion for what is going on in the general area of the Middle East or for that on the African continent they should make every effort to fix the problem on location, but not bring the problem in to their own homes. And I believe the same holds true for the US.
If Muslims need asylum then let them go to another Muslim country.
You can’t fix stupid and suicidal. Remove from gene pool for protection of species.
I have a pre-Nazi K-98 Mauser with a S42 code made in the Mauser Oberddorf plant in 1936 - NO swastika markings. Full laminated stock, fully tested and every part on it matches serial numbers. It is one of my most prized possessions
I think a ban on Merkel is in order
How much are the Saudi’s paying her?
It is always about the money. You just have to follow it.
