BERLIN, Nov 19 (AFP) - German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder called on Muslims to better integrate themselves in German society, in extracts of a speech he will deliver on Saturday released early to two major newspapers here. Schroeder warned of a "conflict of cultures" and says Muslims "must clearly and without misunderstanding demonstrate that they accept our legal order and democratic rules."

Good luck Gerhard. that'll teach you to be such a welcoming host. Now let's see you get rid of them.
Schroeder's dream .
In other words, "Please don't kill the Germans."
I don't think they are capable of integrating into German society.
This is beginning to be fun to watch
If a conservative American said the same things about our own country, he'd be labeled a xenophobe and/or racist.
I wonder if Germany will be seeing some terrorist response to this threat.
Have you seen what is going on in Thailand?
Yeah, where have we heard this concept before? LOL
I think it's a great idea that people immigrating to the US learn english. I also think that it's a good idea to learn japanese if you move to Japan. That's not racism or xenophobia, it's logic.
Perish the thought that they'd be retaliated against for requiring the Muslims to learn German.
And Europe thinks we're the ignorant ones.
I think Schroeder is under heavy pressure to say something because the right-wing parties in Germany are taking the lead as the Dutch right-wing has...and elections are not that far off. If the German right-wing hardliners can get 5 percent of the vote in the next election...they get standing in the German parliament. Presently, alot of Germans are looking at the Netherlands...and are begining to realize the Muslim problem in Germany. That would really change German politics to have a extremist right-wing making speeches on prime-time tv.
Or would that be "The Muslim Question" in Germany?
The Germans have been known to endorse extreme right wing politician making loud speeches on occasion....LOL
How about this for a slogan Mr Schroeder:"INTEGRATE OR WE WILL DISINTEGRATE YOU!"
"I think Schroeder is under heavy pressure to say something because the right-wing parties in Germany are taking the lead as the Dutch right-wing has...and elections are not that far off."
Realistically, the muslims killed the Dutch Left-wing man who dared speak out against further immigration (Pim Fortyn sp?).
I feel it is, or is trending beyond simple Left vs. Right, in Europe. It did likewise here, by a big enough margin to gain Koch and Miller, behind Bush.
Muslims are hell bent on being problems, everywhere they go to, or already are. Only time will reveal if they wise up, or if they insist on a big backlash.
If they earn a big backlash, it will by definition be right and left. Another 9/11/2001 here and people will be going after arabs and muslims, including significant numbers of democrats.
I heard a smart Southern black democrat suggesting that for democrats to turn their fortunes around, they HAD to offer a strong defense posture, and HAD to demonstrate respect for protecting traditional cultural vales.
