n the past seven days, German civilians have come under attack from four men of Middle Eastern or Asian origin. Three have been linked to Isil. The latest incident saw a Syrian blow himself up outside a Bavarian festival after pledging allegiance to Isil.
Joachim Herrmann, Bavaria’s interior minister, has suggested that such attacks raise questions about an immigration policy that has seen more than one million migrants enter Germany largely unchecked over the past year, many from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Raising such questions may appear logical and sensible, but Germany’s debate about migration issues does not always follow logic or common sense. Thomas de Maizière, the federal immigration minister, attempted to argue that the open door offered to migrants by his boss, Angela Merkel, is not relevant to the recent attacks.

the cause of all this is simply baffling!
Merkel should be held accountable and 0bama too. They are ultimately responsible.

More relevant to the USA...
....OBAMA is in a dangerous state of denial about immigration, Islam and terrorism
soebarkah is the enemy.
To which the only remedy is repeated impacts with brutal reality.
May future victims be the most deluded among them. That way at least their deaths may serve some beneficial purpose.
Whoa, you know you have a problem when the British Press calls you on your muslim denial problem... How's London's new mayor working out for you guys?
He's many things, but being in denial over this issue is not one of them.
The formerly civilized world is in denial. Not even when the knife blade is slicing their throat will they ever admit that izlam is a curse on the world.
The Germans are going to get us into another great war.
Hey Germans. Go ahead, walk calmly into the showers. What could happen?
Does anyone know of a study of cosanguinity and terrorism?
I think that part of the paralysis that is gripping the EU government in general and the Germans in particular is that a basic assumption of their form of governance is being challenged: information control doesn't work. The government takes an official stance on an incident, the media trumpet the party line faithfully and repetitively, slick public relations campaigns, advertisements, appeals to authority in the persons of media celebrities - and it isn't working.
This flies in the face of quite a few unchallenged maxims of modern social control, and the answer usually given is typically statist: what we need to address this failure is more control, especially of alternate means of communication such as the Internet. That didn't work even in the most extreme case of the Soviet Union, where such monolithic control was possible and there was no Internet: samizdat found its ways even if it turned out to be mimeograph machines. In Nazi Germany there still was underground radio despite a death sentence for being caught listening to it.
Information control doesn't work, and that is incredibly threatening to people whose power depends on it. Were every newspaper, television commentator, and Internet journalist in Germany to declare the next Islamic terrorist attack was caused by Lithuanian Mennonites, it would not stop the whispers.
And I might point out as well that the apparently universal horror with which the ascension of Donald Trump is regarded in all the "proper" European media is a perfect example of this phenomenon. It's unanimous, all right-thinking people know the fellow is awful, so why would anyone be silly enough to vote for him? There's quite a bit of two-penny psychiatry involved in attempting to understand the mental pathologies of people who don't sway to that tune when in fact, we're simply not listening to the lies. The problem resides with the liars, not with their intended victims, and the liars don't get it and likely never will.
According to my sister, who is an Expat living in Germany, people are more afraid of being called racists than having their heads lopped off.
Until that changes, they slaughter will continue.
No he’s not.
He’s fine with it all.
He hopes to keep us in the dark.
Do not be misled into accepting the narrative that most Europeans want to have their homelands over-populated with incongruous new arrivals. Most Europeans are simply intimidated by their own pseudo-intellectual betrayers' version of the "politically correct" fantasy that people are interchangeable--the same idiocy that drives the Clintons, Obamas and the like.
There, as here, are two groups that feed off that fantasy, and correspondingly manage to keep most other folk silent--intimidated and silent. One group are those business interests, which put immediate profit ahead of patriotism.
The other group are the compulsion driven neurotics, who for one reason or another, simply cannot tolerate the realization that peoples, as individuals, differ;--that we are all unique, and should be respected for our particular unique qualities--not artificially mixed up in an effort to validate a Leftist/humanist pipe dream.
Because Donald Trump has defied the "politically correct" conventions, that were strangling analysis of real problems in Western countries; because of his rise in doing just that, there is now more hope for a Western reawakening than there has been in decades.
The ultimate issue, both here and in Europe, is whether we--the people of each nation--dare again to be unique; dare, again, to honor our heritages and the noble figures in our respective histories, who helped to develop the impressive cultures of our respective nations. Those cultures, now being trashed by crack-pots), reflect the respective but cumulative struggles of those nations, over the past twelve hundred or so years.
Of course it's irrational, it is contrary to all historical evidence, and belief in this power of the state resides principally in those for whom that power is an article of faith, not rational conviction. And they are as dangerous and difficult to persuade otherwise as all cultists are.
