Do the Germans have what it takes to protect their country and culture from Islam? Do we?
It all depends on which Germans show up to the party. Those mean, tough old Germans who conquered or menaced much of Europe for decades, or the new Germans, determined to be peaceful and accommodating so that everyone forgets the old Germans.
In the wake of yesterday's tumultuous Parliament session in which her AFD plan to restrict illegal immigration, originally agreed to by the leader of the conservative CDU, was torpedoed by the resurrected figure of Angela Merkel.
After the debacle, perhaps of the betrayal, Alice Weidel appeared briefly in a palpably demoralized state. But it did not take her long to see that the debacle actually presented an opportunity for her to increase her party's position in the upcoming federal election in February.
The ruling coalition is finished and at each other's throats. The plurality party by the polls, the CDU, has just shot itself in the foot. The path is broader now than before for AFD and she is pushing the one issue that is irresistible, immigration control. The opposition, has maneuvered itself into opposing immigration control simply so they can oppose the AFD. They have made themselves into losers.
This is a game the AFD can and should win.
The question is how far away from alliance with America, the European Union, and NATO will Alice Weidel drive her party?
Can we protect ourselves from third world hellhole cultures? That’s the real question. It’s NOT just Islam. If a country’s a hellhole - it’s because the people made it a hellhole. When they move en mass here or Germany - they bring the hellhole with them.
