Merkel: Islamist terror is 'greatest threat' to Germany
BBC News ^ | Dec. 30, 2016 | BBC News

Islamist terrorism is the biggest challenge facing Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel has said in her New Year message. Referring to the deadly truck attack in Berlin by a Tunisian asylum seeker, she said it was "sickening" when acts of terror were carried out by people who had sought protection.

She said 2016 had been a year of "severe tests". But she also said she was confident Germany could overcome them.

"As we go about our lives and our work, we are saying to the terrorists: 'You are hate-filled murderers, but you do not determine how we live and want to live. We are free, considerate and open'," Mrs Merkel said.

Believe it or not, Merkel's approval rating went UP after her appearance at the memorial for the victims of the recent terrorist attack. Apparently, she's going for an encore this time!

Uhhhh, IS THERE AN ELECTION COMING UP ANGIE?

I have been waiting for someone in that country to create such a plan. I don’t like to wish misfortune on anyone, but what she has brought to Germany is both criminal and suicidal. This has to be the result she expected. I cannot believe she wouldn’t be smart enough to predict this herself.

“As we go about our lives and our work, we are saying to the terrorists: ‘You are hate-filled murderers, but you do not determine how we live and want to live. We are free, considerate and open’,” Mrs Merkel said.


She went on to say, “Even if you slaughter our neighbors, we will go about our business as if nothing is wrong in Germany. Because nothing is wrong. We will simply ignore you. We will continue to be a haven for Islamic refugees and there is nothing you haters can do to stop us.”

When Trump did ‘The Snake’ at his rallies, I always thought of Angie as that ‘silly woman’... Brack and Hillry are more akin to the ‘snake’ though, they always have a con game going.

I don’t believe it. Media is just full force propaganda for Islam over taking western culture/white culture. Which is Judah Christian values.

She finally wakes up from her stupor. I doubt she will admit SHE created most of it.

Well they could look into their history books on a possible solution......

Build some fake mosques with train loading docks at the rear.
Announce free prayer rugs and drawings for virgin goats.

...

Just give up you freedom for security. That was the plan all along and why she imported the terrorists in the first place.

That’s world class foolishness right there. Only a few in the world reach that level.

If the Germans reelect her next year, then they will have exceeded her foolishness.

Actually, the greatest threat to Germans is its cozy welfare system.

'Course, that's the greatest threat to any country.
