Merkel says German multiculturalism has failed
BBC ^ | October 17, 2019 | BBC

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

She said the so-called "multikulti" concept - where people would "live side-by-side" happily - did not work, and immigrants needed to do more to integrate - including learning German.

The comments come amid rising anti-immigration feeling in Germany.

A recent survey suggested more than 30% of people believed the country was "overrun by foreigners".

The study - by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation think-tank - also showed that roughly the same number thought that some 16 million of Germany's immigrants or people with foreign origins had come to the country for its social benefits.

Yes, there is an American community. It developed during 40 years of the Cold War, when 250,000 US troops were in Germany. We were there for only 2 or 3 years and then came home. Some GIs were “barracks rats” who never left post, others of us got out and traveled and learned a functional level of German to get around when traveling. Some guys never got beyond “Bier, bratwurst, pommefrites, and schnitzel.” And looking for that mysterious town of Ausfahrt one saw the signs for on the autobahn.

And some of them were engaged in kidnapping German girls and smuggling them back to Turkey. I remember several stories about that in the Frankfurt area during my 7 years there.

They never had a desire to integrate..that’s not what they’re there for. She was well warned.

Demorats don’t want “assimulation”...they changed it to “integration” which is various cultures living along side each other. In other words YOU have to adapt to their culture.

.....”When the time is right, the Muslims will rise up and attempt to take over Europe”....

Europe has already surrendered to Islam and is in a state of submission in which Europeans are forced to deny their own culture and stand silently by in the face of Muslim atrocities.

"To fix this mess, you’d have to somehow change the mindset of millions of German Muslims. That would be one tough job!"

Gosh. That seems like a problem that's been around since Mohammed started all this mess.

I think you evaluation is a little off. While it is true that Muslims are pushing for dominance, I think (and this is just an opinion) that they are just feeling out the population, seeing how far they can go before they have to full Genocide. On a tactical level, the more people they get into position of power, especially political power but also in in police departments and in the military the easier it will be for them to take over.

In military terms they are preparing the battlefield.

WOW - that’s some brains at work there, right? She isn’t the least bit embarrassed to admit that the people were right (except those who were holding welcome signs) all along and she was wrong?

It was never about “multi-culturalism” .. it’s always been about an Islamic take-over of Germany. Merkel was just too f’n stupid to see that.
