Tensions laid bare as Germans worry about immigration ahead of election
BBC ^ | Feb 18 | BBC

"I was crying," says Alya, when she saw news of last week's Munich attack that left a toddler and her mother dead.

"Why should someone do something like that? Why? I can't understand it."

An Afghan man's in custody after what was the latest in a series of attacks in German cities where the suspect has been an asylum seeker.

Last Thursday it was a mother and daughter in Munich; last month another child and an adult were killed in Aschaffenburg.

Alya came here a decade ago from Syria with her baby son. Now 10, he and his mother welcome me into their home.

They were among a record 1.2 million people who applied for asylum in Germany from 2015-16, many of them from Syria but also from countries including Afghanistan and Iraq.

The attacks have put security and migration front and centre of an election campaign, days before Germans vote on their next government on 23 February.

Let’s hope the Trump Revolution overwhelms Europe and the Europeans come to their senses.

From the article:

“I’m a German,” says Prathep. “I’m proud of this city,” chimes in Kwame.

Muslim in Germany claims to be shocked and unable to understand why a Muslim in Germany did something that many Muslims in Germany have done. Certainly no one should have negative feelings toward these Muslims in Germany! After all, this woman is a Muslim in Germany and she would never do such a thing. And neither would her son. Until he’s a little older.

George W. Bush upset the applecart in the Middle East. Much (but not all) of the recent Muslim invasion of Europe is a result of his stupidity.

"Tensions." BBC speak. "Tensions."

"The AfD want to close Germany's borders and leave the common European asylum policy." BBC will editorialize -- that's racist. That's the whole argument. Control over a nation's borders is now racist. BS.

I think the AfD is going to run stronger than the polls.

"Why should someone do something like that? Why? I can't understand it."

This, in a nutshell, is the problem. Way too many Germans have this delusional view of immigrants - that they are good people with the same values as Germans. Not people whose mentality is stuck in the Dark Ages.

Your post puzzles me. Why do you think the results were unintended?

Funny, i quickly pursued the article and did not see any mention of Taleb Al Abdulmohsen, who rammed his car into the Christmas Festival and killed 5 in Magdenburg, Germany less than two months ago

Germany went from a country that rounded up members of its own population that it felt wasn’t worthy to live, and shipped them off to be exterminated. They invaded other countries, and rounded up those people to get rid of them, so they could make room in those countries to settle pure Germans. Then they turned into a country that has destroyed itself by allowing true evil from other countries into their own borders to prey on its citizens. What a bunch of retards.

Many studies have shown that children of Muslim immigrants are, in general, more radical than their parents.

Maybe the son will convert. Maybe he will assimilate. But it’s more likely that he’ll end up as just another Muslim radical, eager to force Sharia Law on Europe.

All one has to do is read what is written in Koran. Infidels must be converted or killed. Why is anyone confused?

That quote is from a Syrian immigrant.

I know it’s against FR tradition, but it helps if you actually read the article. 😊
