'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.

"Not that I want to see a woman wearing either.

Seeing women? You are of course speaking metaphorically. ;-)

She deserves it for bringing millions of reptilians into her country.

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.

I would not believe that article.

The Germans today are not the same as the WWII Germans, any more than we are the same as the WWII Americans.
I have lived long enough to see,and experience, the difference.

Neither us Americans or Germans seem to understand the Muslim threat.
Deliberately Importing the Muslim cancer into Germany can only lead to Germany's ultimate destruction in the long run by the Muslims. - tom

Why do I have a song in my head from the Sound of Music that goes kinda like...

How do you solve a problem like SHARIA?
How do you kill a moon god in a box?

How do you solve a problem like SHARIA?
A cluster bomb here, a tomahawk there..then BOOM!

This ear-worm brought to you by the old Jedi worm trick!

Germany has a birth deficit.
Not enough new borns to keep paying enough taxes to pay for the socialist agenda. Soooo, import many more future working tax paxers to insure status quo.
Problem is these mooselimb scum are welfare scum that will cost more than they pay in, not to mention the problems these scum bring.

You’re probably right.
That said, there HAVE been some “mysterious” mosque fires and other incidents in Germany, GB and elsewhere in Europe. I suspect we’ll see more.

As for here, I live down south and can report that the “good ol’ boys” here are getting ready to rock and roll when the time is right.

Ooh, my little sh*tty one, my sh*tty one
When you gonna give me some grime, Sharia
Ooh, you make my A.K. run, my A.K. run
Got it coming outta that barrel, Sharia

Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty book
I always get it up, for the sight of the goat’s look
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my Sharia

Come a little closer, huh, a-will ya, huh?
Close enough for acid in my eyes, Sharia
Keeping it a mystery, it gets to me
Running down my whole RPG, Sharia

When you gonna give to me, a whole bunch to me
Is it just a matter of time, Sharia?
Are the Virgins d-d-destiny, d-destiny
Or is it just a lie for my mind, Sharia?

Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty hind
I always get it up, for the thought of a camel’s mind
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-my, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my Sharia
M-m-m-my Sharia

The Knack - My Sharia Lyrics

Nice. Flip side on the single was a song called Let Me Out.

Which I believe (unfortunately) is the new battle song for our transformational transgendered military of today.

The have pin-ups of Catylin/Bruce/Lucy/Brad/Jenner to look at.

Right in front of our eyes. No one does a thing... Well Vlad is... That makes me ashamed of myself, supporting a Russian over my own “PRESENT”.

RE “...makes me ashamed ...”

Don’t be. You didn’t set these things in motion, nor let them happen.

One person did. The shame rests solely on him. And for the record, it isn’t Vlad.

Merkel better get used to this sort of thing, she’s openly declared she’s a Muslim Whore, so she better just get used to all that’s associated with.

My contempt for this woman is so great, that I’m unable to grasp a word adequate enough to emphasive how great.
