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.

Stick an apple in this pig’s mouth and roast it. The Germans have become a race of dogs who worship whoever kicks them hardest. But then we found that out in 1933, right? Merkel and her supporters are the architects of every riot, rape and murder perpetrated in Europe by invading IslamoNAZIs. May they die a slow death and burn in hell forever.

I read the article and could not find any reference to “Islamic terror” in her quoted remarks.

Shes basically saying yes, Muslim immigrants are murdering us, yes, Muslim immigrants are raping us, and were sorry for that, but each murder victim and each rape victim is actually a symbol of our strength as Germans, a demonstration of how wonderful we are as a people. No mention of Muslims in the story.

No mention of Muslims in the story. You think people need to be reminded who Merkel let in?

No, but she has adopted the Obama meme, i.e., you can’t identify the enemy by calling them Islamic or Muslim. Islam is the religion of peace and anyone who commits murder and mayhem in the name of Islam is really not a Muslim.

Wouldn't be rape thenWell, I don't know how many "rape rapes" there are, but I DO know that in Europe, there are tens of thousands of white nominally Christian women who marry Muslim men each year.

If our Teutonic friends need to import an ethnic minority group to socially experiment with why not Mexicans instead of Muzzies? Better food and less dangerous. We have about 10 million we could spare.

She GETS IT WRONG, yet again. The biggest threat to Germany is not “Islamic Terror”, it is “Islam”. Even without the visible terror, the demographics of Islam will kill the country, as it is killing most of the countries there.

The rest of Europe is committing suicide by false guilt. Stating it simply like this should get through even to some Europeans.
