Berlin (AFP) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday rebuffed calls to reverse her welcoming stance toward refugees after a series of brutal attacks in the country.
Merkel, who interrupted her summer holiday to face the media in Berlin, said the four assaults within a week were "shocking, oppressive and depressing" but not a sign that authorities had lost control.
The German leader said the assailants "wanted to undermine our sense of community, our openness and our willingness to help people in need".
"We firmly reject this," she said at a wide-ranging news conference.
Merkel repeated her rallying cry from last year when she opened the borders to people fleeing war and persecution, many from Syria, which brought nearly 1.1 million migrants and refugees to Germany in 2015.
"I am still convinced today that 'we can do it' -- it is our historic duty and this is a historic challenge in times of globalisation," she said.
"We have already achieved very, very much in the last 11 months."
Merkel was speaking after a axe rampage, a shooting spree, a knife attack and a suicide bombing stunned Germany, leaving 13 people dead, including three assailants, and dozens wounded.
Three of the four attackers were asylum seekers, and two of the assaults were claimed by the Islamic State group.

Some might say she has been an ‘over-achiever’ when it comes to promoting the free flow of terrorists across the globe.. and she is not alone.
Somebody (Soros) must have some serious dirt on her.
Get the men in the White jackets. Merkel is way beyond her expired by date.
I wonder how many of the German people agree with her insane rationalization??
They say “we” when they want to share the guilt.
They say “I” when they are sucking around for unearned credit.
How many times did King Obama sai “I” in his speech last night?
Hitler defended the Storm Troopers the same way. What’s with these Germans?
Obammy was on a roll last night.. over 100 Me me Me I I I
Somebody needs to do a little Allah Akbar on her.
“We firmly reject this,”
Wow. That will stop them. Next one Merkel will say ‘we really really firmly reject this.’
Why isn’t Deutschland importing intelligent and productive families from India and China?
“I am still convinced today that ‘we can do it’ — it is our historic duty and this is a historic challenge in times of globalisation,” she said. “
She’s being well paid for this by the globalists.
The population can stand by and watch their country be destroyed or get rid of her any way they can.
Merkel is a life-long EU dreamer, socialist and globalist. There is NO WAY she will allow this to impinge on her ideology or her plans.
Someone stuffed her pockets full. Sure would like to know the difference in her bank account balance pre-invasion and now.
That delusional dyke needs to go!
This woman needs to be put in a straitjacket and sent away to a rubber room for the sake of her country.
My Avast says your homepage is a threat. HTML infection.
Did you mean strait jacket or on trial for treason against the Germans and EU? She is obviously working for Soros and the Amish globalists.
