Everyone here (FR) doubtless gets the reference, but imagine a 'street poll' done with same .
If 10% of respondents could accurately cite the historical context, it'd surprise the hell outta me.
and that's sayin' somethin'

...Merkel, the German chancellor, has used her New Year’s Eve address to launch a scathing attack on the country’s growing anti-Muslim protests, calling its leaders racists who are driven by hatred.
In a televised message due to be broadcast tonight, Mrs Merkel urged Germans to turn their backs on demonstrations that have seen up to 17,000 people gather each Monday in the eastern city of Dresden to protest against the “Islamisation of the West”.
Speaking to those considering joining the protests, she said: “Do not follow those who have called the rallies. Because all too often they have prejudice, coldness, even hatred in their hearts.”

Can you imagine the outrage if a nation’s leader stood up for Bible believing Christians?
I think you are correct. The history of Nazism and the fanatic racism of Hitler and his followers makes it difficult for the German government to be too strong against the Muslims.
Call it their Achilles heel.
Anti Joo rallies are encouraged, however
Does anybody know if those demonstrators are wearing brown shirts?
“Call it their Achilles heel.”
Yes
These Germans protesting the evil cult of Islam are heros.
where are we Americans? sitting on the couch when we should be protesting until Obama the dictator resigns . They have courage to protest . we don’t.
It is the Muslims who are filled with hatred.
I see it in their eyes. These people are demons.
Islam is evil and lies and must be stopped.
We know how well that turned out for Germany.
If they just look at the no-go areas of Paris, they'll get a sniff of things to come.
Either you take the steps to preserve your culture, or it will be eliminated, especially when facing an aggressive other culture which has your destruction as a goal.
Time for Merkel to pull her head out (or is she bought, or have the Islamists reached the level where the Government is afraid to offend them (dhimmitude)).
>> The history of Nazism and the fanatic racism of Hitler and his followers makes it difficult for the German government to be too strong against the Muslims.
Yes, but there’s another way of looking at that issue... the nation of Hitler and the Nazis have a chance to finally make amends by supporting the Zion they persecuted by coming out against the curse of islam that seeks to destroy Jews and Israel.
Therefore Merkel is SQUANDERING a chance to atone for Germany’s past.

If 17,000 citizens are protesting she should take note, go to Dresden which was bombed horribly in WWII and walk through the burned out church around(Freudenkirche?). This is the wish for those who are refugees and will not convert to Christianity. The protesters remember what happen east of The Wall!! The protestors see what is happening in Paris and London.
She also needs a refresher course on Islam vs. Christianity to properly lead her country. She must not even read their headlines saying they’ll take over countries by no war but over populating and voting in representatives!
Yeah. It's global. It's The Ugly American on steroids, extending way beyond our borders. Those in leadership....in DC, in Europe, in global banking, energy and other entities, assume that because they have been able to manipulate things to their benefit for so long that it's all about them. The reality goes beyond enabling Islam extemists to spread their venom. In parts of Germany, there's the protest element being inspired by Nazis on the loose because of Kiev.
The elitist powers that be will destroy the globe rather than give up their globalist power trip. I can't imagine how anyone can even pretend to know where this all leads. It's unprecedented in its scope.
I think the leaders believe that Western Civilization is over and that they are hoping to curry favour with their new masters so that they will be protected by the chaotic winds to come.
Perhaps the Germans are waking from a long sleep
How do you say ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE in German??
How is Islam a race?
I guess if beliefs are now a race, then I guess I can play the race card against anyone who attempts to challenge my beliefs.
So I guess I can call anyone a racist who disagrees that Islam is a murderous, barbarous uncivilized cult that needs to be driven from all Western nations, if not expunged entirely from every square foot of land on planet Earth.
Hatred?
Let’s ask a Dutch filmmaker.
Oops. We can’t. The Islamic fanatics killed him.
Other way around.
Besides, this is probably a case of creating yet another “beneficial crisis”. After all, the notion of not letting a crisis go to waste was pioneered in the EU.
