Merkel Doubles Down: ‘Time is Running Out To Return Hope To The Millions of Refugees’
Breitbart ^ | 16 Nov 2015 | Donna Rachel Edmunds

Merkel has come under fire within her own coalition government for her continued support for open borders, following the revelation that at least one of the terrorists involved in the atrocities in Paris on Friday posed as a Syrian refugee in order to gain entry into Europe.

In August of this year Germany ignored European Union rules and threw open her doors to all Syrian refugees, promising them asylum. Hundreds of thousands came. She also urged the UK to follow her example.

But far from backing away from the policy in light of the Paris attack, she has instead hit back at her critics, telling reporters: "We all know that time is running out to return hope to the millions of refugees," who she described as "innocent" people fleeing war and terrorism, Bloomberg has reported.

Speaking at the G20 summit in Antalya, Turkey, Mrs Merkel said that the immediate task was to track down those responsible for the attack and hold them to account, saying: "We owe that not only to the victims but also to security in our countries and to the refugees, a large number of whom are fleeing terrorism."

"We believe in the right of every individual to seek happiness and to live their lives, we believe in respect and tolerance. And we know that our free life is stronger than any terrorism"

Did the dead in Paris have those same rights, Chancellor? Was your "free life" strong enough to stop the Islamists there also?

She has gone stark raving mad. Germany will be next and she will be hiding under her bed ,in my opinion.

I noticed that ISIS didn’t include a German message; I would expect they’re next on the list of countries to terrorize. Wonder what Merkel will do then? Triple down?

Merkel must have her own personal Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Sounds exactly like another lefty socialist head of state I know all too well.

These PC-besotted “leaders” of Western countries really do care more about people outside of their borders than their actual citizens. They have such contempt for the citizens of their own countries.

The more that die, the more she will urge greater numbers of Muslims.

She has signed on with Satan.

I still say Germany is going to get hit. The crazy terrorists like to have chaos wherever they go. It only has to be a few guys.

We’re all going to get hit. Repeatedly. Liberals ensured that. I can’t wait till we hit liberals back.

Yep. They must be playing “Imagine” until their eyes and brain glaze over with numbness.
