Merkel says Islam 'belongs to Germany' ahead of Dresden rally

BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday Islam "belongs to Germany", in a clear repudiation of anti-immigration protesters gathering in Dresden and other cities.

A day after walking arm-in-arm with French President Francois Hollande at the front of a massive march in Paris to honor the victims of killings by Islamic militants, Merkel received the Turkish prime minister and urged dialogue among religions.

The conservative chancellor pointed to comments made by former German president Christian Wulff, who said in 2010 that Islam was part of Germany, triggering a fierce debate.

"Former president Wulff said Islam belongs to Germany. That is true. I also hold this opinion," Merkel said at a news conference with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who also took part with other world leaders in the Paris march on Sunday.

She was speaking hours before marches by a movement dubbed PEGIDA, or Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West, were due to begin in several German cities.

Such demonstrations, launched in Dresden, have been dwarfed by counter-protests. Merkel has said PEGIDA's rallies are organized by people with "hatred in their hearts".

I assume when you use the term “Fascist”, you’re thinking Hitler, and not Mussolini.

The word “Fascist” is so cheaply thrown around, Liberals basically define anyone who doesn’t agree with them as a “Fascist.”

She’d do well to review her nation’s Frankish history and remember Karl Martell.

Why isn’t Mussolini bad enough? ;-) Besides Hitler loved Mosselimbs!

Most telling was his desire that the Turks won the “Battle of Vienna.”

And also I don’t see any of these so-called “Far Right” movements advocating invading other countries, like Mussolini and HItler did.

This is the type of thing that is only said by an rich, insulated, self-deluded liberal who doesn’t have to live with the consequences of Islamization. Ergo, being PC is more important than defending yourself against the brutality of Islam. If her daughter had been kidnapped and pimped out by some Muslim Imam, like those girls in Birmingham where, she might sing a different tune.

Well, they, Arabs from the ME and Balkans, certainly played a significant role in the Nazi movement.

Haj Amin_al-Husseini the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem meeting with Hitler. Gee, I can only guess what they must have been discussing.

Unreal, that saying “Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it” is so true, but the thing is I doubt if people like Merkel forgot but merely WANT to repeat it. Same with every other lib who immediately rushes to defend Islam every time a terror attack happens. WHY are they defending it? Are they that naive? 2000 people were killed by Islamos in Nigeria.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/12/africa/boko-haram-deadliest-attack/

That is just ONE attack. Did they honestly believe “Islam is the same as every religion”? Are they insane? EVERYDAY people are killed in the name of Islam. EVERYDAY there are multiple attacks. Just in the past 4 days alone......

Islam’s Latest Contributions to Peace

“Mohammed is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are harsh
to the unbelievers but merciful to one another” Quran 48:29

2015.01.11 (Potiskum, Nigeria) - Six others are killed when two female suicide bombers detonate in succession at a popular market.

2015.01.10 (Sheikh Zuweid, Egypt) - Two people are beheaded by Islamic extremists.

2015.01.10 (Tripoli, Lebanon) - Two calipahte suicide bombers at a Shiite cafe blows eight patrons to bits.

2015.01.09 (Rawalpindi, Pakistan) - Eight worshippers are blown to bits by a suicide bomber at a Shia mosque.

2015.01.09 (Paris, France) - Four hostages are taken and killed by an Islamic gunman at a Jewish grocery.

2015.01.08 (Baghdad, Iraq) - A Sunni suicide bomber wades into a Shiite mosque and slaughters at least eight worshippers.

The leaders of Islam must be laughing today thinking they have won, but not so fast, there are still a few of us that can think

As I said point out a strong capable anti-Islamic political force in Europe that isn’t the far right and I will withdraw my statement.

As far as invasion, well you have to get your own house under control before you try and take your neighbor’s house.

It’s interesting the way european and some Americans politicians approach theological concepts but when it comes to Islam. But they are not the only ones who refuse to approach the issue. That even includes leading Christian clergy including Pope Francis.

Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of God’s will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not approach that claim on a theological basis. It’s bewildering why any Christian clergy refuse to admit it even exists and is a basic part of Islam creed and worse yet are unable to condem it.

The Koran and its enforcement of sharia law is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts taken and misconstrued from the new and old testaments. That institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by its followers.

Maybe I was wrong but the weak politicians of today closely match the ones of the 1930’s. I say we are about to watch history repeat itself.

There isn't. The frog has been in the boiling pot too long, just gradually turning down the heat won't save the frog, he has to be immediately packed in ice.
