Northern Germany's largest Carnival parade in the city of Braunschweig has been called off following a terror alert. Authorities have reported a threat of of an attack with an "Islamist background."

Braunschweig Mayor Ulrich Markurth (SPD) and parade marshal Gerhard Baller canceled the parade at short notice shortly before 11.a.m. (1000UTC) on Sunday. The spectacle had been due to begin at 12.20 p.m. local time. Local Braunschweig police said the Karneval parade had been called off after reliable state sources became aware of a "concrete threat" of an attack with an "Islamist background." Police asked all visitors to not visit the planned parade route. The "Schoduvel" parade is the largest of its kind in northern Germany which takes place on the weekend before Lent. Many cities also include satirical floats within their parades.

I wonder when they will stop having the annual Oktoberfest because of the fear of muzzie interference. And will they also not have the Mozart Festival in Salzburg around that same time?

The shadow of Hitler and Stalin, that once hung over Europe, has been replaced with one much more ominous.

Keep importing Islam Germany....that’s what happens. I have family & friends there so I’m not mocking them. They are like us. Egalitarian madness & the “feelings” that all cultures & all peoples are the same. The West is dying by suicide.

An earlier post indicated that the carnival had dated back to 1296 I believe. So the West is required to give up all it traditions, dating back, in this case for over 700 hundred years for what?

The next President needs to go to Germany and say “Ich bin ein Braunschweiger.”

Well, I don’t see that happening if it is President Clinton, Warren, or O’Malley.

Found a great recipe for Braunschweiger sausage. Looking forward to a fresh hog liver next year.

This time the Kraut would have more than a legitimate reason to put on the jackboots and start marching again.

When you consider where Islam is, you are right.

Hitler never controlled that much territory. He was a piker by their standards. And if they get their way, Hitler will look rather tame in time, despite the vile nature of what he was.

This gets very ugly if Western Nation keep hitting the snooze alarm.

Good question. For what?

It’s simple domination. The West is caving on every demand presented.

How long until IS threats cancel the Rose Parade? Christmas Parades? St. Pattys Parade? Should we give in to this terrorism or are we to become ruled by the Tyranny of the Minority?

Are we not already ruled by the minority when we see how we are forced to accept same-sex “marriage”, muslim immigration, open borders, assaults on the 2nd Amendment, Obamacare, removal of Christian edifices and other principles, once held dear by the majority of Americans?
