Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday condemned anti-Muslim demonstrations centred on the eastern city of Dresden, saying there was "no place in Germany" for hatred of Muslims or any other minority.

In a speech at a party congress of her Bavarian allies in Nuremberg, Merkel also denounced an attack on buildings in a nearby town being turned into refuge for asylum-seekers. The structures were set on fire and daubed with swastikas.

"It is unbearable when homes of asylum-seekers are defiled, when people try to make radical slogans," Merkel said, adding that everyone coming to Germany had the right to be treated decently.

Earlier on Friday, Merkel's spokeswoman Christiane Wirtz said: "In the name of the government and the chancellor I can say quite clearly that there is no place in Germany for religious hatred, no matter which religion people belong to."

"There is no place for Islamophobia, anti-Semitism or any form of xenophobia or racism," Wirtz said of the growing Monday evening marches in Dresden under the motto PEGIDA, standing for "Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the West".

When did the Germans vote to admit all of these goat buggers to begin with? What’s that, they weren’t asked?

But the cry of “racism” has had the historic effect of making people shut up!

Why isn’t it working!??!!

Like Rush said, these leftists are trying to convince us that we should abandon every bit of our survival instincts.

People protesting against Islam are not protesting their “race”

Ignorant Sand Savages busily angering Germans should remember where the idea of teh “Aryan Race” laired up.

Mr. Muslim better watch out for Germans ordering Zyklon B.

Merkel is using the typical leftist obfuscation. She could use exactly the same arguments to defend Nazis.

(for example)

Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday condemned anti-Nazi demonstrations centred on the eastern city of Dresden, saying there was “no place in Germany” for hatred of Nazis or any other minority.

In a speech at a party congress of her Bavarian allies in Nuremberg, Merkel also denounced an attack on buildings in a nearby town being turned into refuge for Nazis. The structures were set on fire and daubed with Stars of David.

“It is unbearable when homes of Nazis are defiled, when people try to make radical slogans,” Merkel said, adding that everyone coming to Germany and practicing anti-German and anti-democratic philosophies had the right to be treated decently.

Earlier on Friday, Merkel’s spokeswoman Christiane Wirtz said: “In the name of the government and the chancellor I can say quite clearly that there is no place in Germany for philosophical hatred, no matter which philosophy people belong to.”

“There is no place for Naziphobia, anti-communism or any form of nationalism or patriotism,” Wirtz said of the growing Monday evening marches in Dresden under the motto PEGINsDAPA, standing for “Patriotic Europeans against the Nazification of the West”.
