Berlin (AFP) - Nearly 40 percent of German voters think Chancellor Angela Merkel should quit over her liberal asylum policy after almost 1.1 million newcomers arrived last year, a poll showed Friday.

As the mood in Germany has shifted from a euphoric welcome for people fleeing war and persecution last September to growing doubts about the country's ability to accommodate and integrate the record influx, the popular Merkel has come under increasing pressure.

However, the poll for Focus news magazine conducted by the independent opinion research institute Insa among 2,047 German citizens showed that a larger share -- nearly 45 percent -- did not think Merkel should resign.

Among members of her conservative Christian Union bloc, nearly 27 percent said they wanted Merkel, who has been in power since 2005, to step down.

I didn’t think it was possible for 60% of the Germans to be morons, but the facts seem to speak for themselves.

Either 60% of Germany is insane or there are already a lot of Muslims living in Germany and this poll included them.

At least 50% of that 60% which would be 30% are probably too afraid to speak out against merkel.

For the first time I heard fears expressed by my neighbors here in Bavaria to the effect that they must be very cautious about what they say publicly about Muslims and immigration. They also expressed real anger that their media has not been truthfully covering the problems with immigration so flagrantly on display in Cologne. They are aware that the bad news of immigration has been spiked.

This is an extraordinary departure from the normal run of conversation.

From Wikipedia:

An estimate made in 2009 calculated that there are 4.3 million Muslims in Germany (5.4% of the population). Let’s assume that it is now 5.3 million since Merkel accepted over a million of them.

The Population of Germany is 81 million.

Therefore, 6.5% of Germany is Muslim.

Contrast this to the USA: Muslims currently make up approximately 0.9% of the U.S. adult population, or 1.8 million Muslim adults.

You cannot blame the German people for being a little upset when their government has reduced the value of their citizenship to nothing.

yeah... only for middle east madness

A point well taken.

Maybe I'm whistling in the dark.

I think that when I refer to Americans, I'm referring to sane Americans, the ones who post on Free Republic and whose fury is fueling the Trump Counter-Revolution.

And, even so, they might be the very ones who would send their sons--YET AGAIN--to rescue Europe from its latest madness.
