Merkel says Islam 'belongs to Germany' ahead of Dresden rally

BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday Islam "belongs to Germany", in a clear repudiation of anti-immigration protesters gathering in Dresden and other cities.

A day after walking arm-in-arm with French President Francois Hollande at the front of a massive march in Paris to honor the victims of killings by Islamic militants, Merkel received the Turkish prime minister and urged dialogue among religions.

The conservative chancellor pointed to comments made by former German president Christian Wulff, who said in 2010 that Islam was part of Germany, triggering a fierce debate.

"Former president Wulff said Islam belongs to Germany. That is true. I also hold this opinion," Merkel said at a news conference with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who also took part with other world leaders in the Paris march on Sunday.

She was speaking hours before marches by a movement dubbed PEGIDA, or Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West, were due to begin in several German cities.

Such demonstrations, launched in Dresden, have been dwarfed by counter-protests. Merkel has said PEGIDA's rallies are organized by people with "hatred in their hearts".

Translation:

“Yes, we’re scared to death of these Islamic Terrorists, and we certainly don’t want to be seen embracing Christianity.”

Why I’ve been saying, that dog and pony show yesterday in Paris was meaningless, it’s only purpose was an attempt to marginalize the rising European Right.

” ... a part of Germany.”
Just like cancer is a part of the body.

Good lady Merkel has either lost her mind, or she’s sold out to the IslamoNazi invaders

Germany needs a new leader, ASAP!

It’s amazing how out of touch these “leaders” are. I don’t know why I’m shocked every time one of them says something like this—something that is so opposed to what the vast majority of citizens believe. This situation cannot last forever. Something must break.

Even though they “marched” in unity together, somehow I think Bibi would not agree.

Yeah a “Unity March” that refused to invite Le Pen and the Front National.

Couple this with what the French idiot in chief said....

President Hollande's statement after the Charlie Hebdo slaughter and the Kosher grocery siege:

Those who committed these acts have nothing to do with the Muslim religion.

.... And we see how fast - dangerously fast - Europe is headed towards extinction.

Such statements are going to drive the people right into the Fascist hands. The European people are stuck between the Fascist haters and the Left-wing surrender monkeys!

Just because the media says they’re “Fascists” doesn’t make it so.
