'Muslim Merkel' German TV image causes outrage
The Telegraph ^ | 10/6/2015 | Justin Huggler

Posted on 10/07/2015 9:23:29 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

An image of Angela Merkel wearing a traditional Iranian Islamic headscarf has caused controversy in Germany. ARD television was inundated with complaints after it broadcast a mocked-up picture of Mrs Merkel wearing the garment, known as a chador, against a backdrop of the Reichstag surrounded by minarets. The image was shown during a debate on the refugee crisis on Report from Berlin, a Newsnight-style programme, and was intended to be satirical, the broadcaster claimed. “This is not constructive journalism. Ugh!” read one comment on the programme’s Facebook page. “The mood turns because of such defamation and propaganda. So yes it’s true: integration cannot succeed.” The broadcaster defended the use of the image. “Of course it was also the of this artwork to provoke and polarise opinion,” it said in a statement. “We consider this satirical form of representation to be in keeping with our journalistic values. We reject any insinuation that we would operate Islamophobic propaganda.” But many viewers complained that the image was similar to posters produced by the anti-Islam and anti-immigrant movement Pegida, or Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the West. Pegida has been attempting to make a comeback in recent weeks on the back of opposition to Mrs Merkel’s refugee policy. Some 9,000 people took part in a Pegida demonstration in Dresden on Monday evening. The movement drew 25,000 people to its marches at its hieght in January, before collapsing in disarray after its founder, Lutz Bachmann was pictured posing as Hitler. Mr Bachmann was recently charged with hate speech over comments he made in Januray referring to immigrants as “animals” and a “dirt-pack”. Police are investigating the death of an asylum-seeker whose body was found after a fire in his room in an apartment block in the town of Saalfeld.

I recently saw an article by a sociologist warning muslims to NOT migrate to Germany. He speculates that, given Germany’s recent history, when the push back by German patriots begins, it could make Hitler’s actions against the Jews look like a day at the beach.

Why? Because she and every other lying, sleazing, scumbag politician in this world realize that they (we) cannot stop the onslaught of Islam with it’s 1.57 billion maniacs without nuking the sh!t out of a lot of places. With this realization also comes the realization (for us) they are abject cowards because the don’t have the guts to make violent and harsh decisions - because they care more about being in power than stopping the world’s all time worst plague.

Why is it so “outrageous?”

After all, the statists and leftists view all these Muslim immigrants as equal, and their culture as valuable, right? The covering of women, head-to-toe is perfectly normal and acceptable, is it not?

So why is there any concern about Merkel portrayed as wearing a chador?

Yeah, I don’t get it either. You would think the left would embrace it, since they love musloids so much.

For the same reason she killed Germany’s nuclear program and signed a gas deal with Russia - she’s dumb and simply cannot grasp long-term strategy

... muslims can

“Why is Merkel forcing integration in Germany???”

The same reason that our politicians are trying to force amnesty down our throats. The globalists realized long ago that the populace of the Western nations were the only real obstacle to world domination, so they decided it would be better to replace us.

First, they foisted feminism on us to dry up our birthrate, and now they bring in the replacement population, and justify it by saying that our entitlement programs must be funded and we’re not producing enough of our own babies to do it.

It is White Christian genocide. The German people have sold out their children’s legacy and freedom for comfort and laziness and puerile pleasures (materialism). Germany has been the hotbed of the Postmodernist movement of nihilism, homosexuality/perversions (satanism), and “God is Dead” culture.

They gave up the Christian Worldview (Individualism/Natural Rights from only God—not the State) for trinkets and luxury and vice here on earth. Vice creates slaves only (St. Augustine).

Chador? I thought it was called a hijab?

Not that I want to see a woman wearing either.

IIRC, the poster held up by the crowd depicts Merkel wearing the headbag known as `hijab’.

The news spot shows a photoshop of Merkel wearing the Iranian `chador’.

Either way, Merkel has gone cuckoo for cocoa puffs where Muslims are concerned.
