Merkel says German multicultural society has failed
BBC ^ | October 6, 2010 | BBC

Attempts to build a multicultural society in Germany have "utterly failed", Chancellor Angela Merkel says.

In her speech, the chancellor specifically referred to recent comments by German President Christian Wulff who said that Islam was "part of Germany" like Christianity and Judaism.

Mrs Merkel says Islam is part of Germany but more must be done on integration While acknowledging that this was the case, Mrs Merkel stressed that immigrants living in Germany needed to do more to integrate, including learning to speak German.

In August, Thilo Sarrazin, a senior official at Germany's central, said that "no immigrant group other than Muslims is so strongly connected with claims on the welfare state and crime". Mr Sarrazin has since resigned.

The rewards of Multiculturalism:

Probe Links European Plot to 9/11.
A Suspect From Germany Killed in a Drone Strike Last Week Had Contacts With Terrorists Tied to the Sept. 11 Attacks

“German investigators say their investigation of Mr. Meziche echoes frustrations they’ve had over the past decade in pursuing German jihadists recruited in mosques in cities such as Hamburg and Berlin and suspected of traveling to Pakistan or Afghanistan for terrorist training. On several occasions, suspects have been pulled off of airplanes just before takeoff, only to be released hours later.”

Same in England, France.......and Amer..

Where do these guys come up with these silly racist, bigoted, discriminatory profiling statements which can be backed by facts and statistics? Where are the UN truth police?

More Muslim Riots in France

Muslim youths have taken to the streets of France once again, rioting against perceived abuses at the hands of police in their “special urban zones” that separate them from the rest of society.

“Multiculuralism” destroys the glue that holds a country together. The way I see it, the United States is now just a place where a whole bunch of different tribes reside including some Americans. These tribes are constantly at war with one another over who gets the biggest piece of the pie and who is going to pay for it. Thank you DemocRATS!

“These tribes are constantly at war with one another over who gets the biggest piece of the pie and who is going to pay for it. Thank you DemocRATS!”

Exactly! The Democrats are fueling the fire by by pandering to the various “tribes” and setting them against each other, instead of doing what’s best for ALL Americans, such as helping jobs and economy by cutting spending and taxes.

Even now, Obama was making racist comments, encouraging African Americans to vote. Can you imagine the outrage, if a Republican politician would encourage WHITE people to vote?

Forcing cultures, races to “coexist” never has/never will work. When I was a kid my parents broke their butts to live within a decent school system. Then, the (Alexandria, VA) schools introduced the “6-2-2-2” plan. Bus black kids from downtown to the west end and vice versa. I wasn’t bussed but went to school with lots of kids that were. The “riots of ‘72-’76” were horrendous. Made the nightly news. My grades went from A’s and B’s to D’s. Finally, my folks sent me to private military acadamy in Fork Union to save me from the stress of simply trying to get home in one piece. Best school I’ve ever attended. Hated it then, but I get it now.

Yes, what Germany needs is One People.

America as a multi-cultural state worked until the advent of welfare programs and collectivization of individuals into a group identity.

Is my Ein Volk shot entirely fair? Probably not.

I do firmly believe that once groups > individuals, that’s when this sort of breakdown occurs.

These “people” need to have “special urban zones” where they can “integrate” better within their host country....maybe somewhere 20 south of Baghdad?

That way too their full needs can be met.

Makes me think of Minnesota.

Spot On. Every time some reporter/person refers to us as a multicultural country, I remind them that, no, we are a multiethnic country with ONE culture - E pluribus unum and all that. No reply from the reporters, deer-in-headlights from the others.

Actually Germans also have Polish, French, Swedish and Russian infusions that were under German rule and ultimately these groups integrated and inter married into German population. There are Germans with Polish/Russian, Swedish and French last names and have been German for over 100 years.

“Yes, what Germany needs is One People.”

I don’t think you get it — when someone moves to another country of their own free will, it’s only reasonable to expect that they will integrate into that society, culture and learn the language. If they want to live the way they live in Somalia, they should stay in Somalia, instead of trying to turn Germany, or the US into Somalia.
