(German Chancellor) Merkel: Get used to mosques
Reuters ^ | 9/19/10 | Staff

Posted on 09/19/2010 2:26:57 PM PDT by Nachum

Berlin - Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germans had for too long failed to grasp how immigration was changing their country and would have to get used to the sight of more mosques in their cities, according to a newspaper. (Snip) "Our country is going to carry on changing, and integration is also a task for the society taking up the immigrants," Merkel told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung daily. "For years we've been deceiving ourselves about this. Mosques, for example, are going to be a more prominent part of our cities than they were before," she added.

I'm not sure where you got from my post that the average German didn't love Hitler. The large majority of Germans were absolutly enthralled by Hitler, right up until he got them into a huge unwinnable war against virtually the whole world. After that, most Germans were either at the front, in the factory, or-especially in the case of the wealthy-had thier heads firmly planted in the sand. So when the allied bombs fell, or thier Jewish neighbors vanished, or the "victorious armies of the Reich" came retreating pell-mell past their town with Ivan hot on their heels, most folks just tried to ignore it and get on with what was left of their lives.

Hence, if the average German had any awareness of Himmler's Muslim stormtroopers, they probabaly wrote it off as "just another stupidity" and went on trying to survive.

I can’t yet buy into extreme reactions against Islam. However. I do envision a world with much the same kind of conflicts as in the middle ages. The roots of Islam go back much further than the oppresive proclamations of Mohammed. Think about the enmity between the Sahra-Issach branch of Abraham and the cast away Hagar-Ishmail branch of Abraham. I think Hagar ,the maid servant, was actually Egyptian and with this a very likely point for Mohammed and his Koran to rail against Jews and Christians.

As I recall the Germans under Hitler were quite friendly with muslim countries.

There were SS units that wore the fez.

I have mentioned this a couple of times, but I am reading “Secrets of the Kingdom” by Gerald Posner which is about Saudi Arabia and all of the influence that it has in our country—and many other countries as well. The Saudis are building huge mosques in many countries and they are staffing them with extreme Wahabbi clerics. Many of the moslem clerics in our prison system are Wahabbi. There are also several moslem compounds in the woods of
Virginia, New York and other places.

Notice how moslems like Raub are being fast tracked into high positions. Look at the Fort Hood killer, Hassan. Even though he had threatened to murder nonmoslems, he was not discharged from the army. This is coming down from the top and unfortunately did not start with Obama. How much infiltration is there in the FBI, CIA and Pentagon?

The infilatration is all over the place especially ALL of TV. All the deals, Saudi shareholding, joint venture deals. People look at you like you are crazy.

ALL of TV in the USA is behind O and Islam including Fox. All the six networks back Islam especially Bloomberg. Tens of billions of $$ is the reason.

I don't know if you read a great column by Cal Thomas from last month? The column was about the Islamic problem and the Ground Zero Mosque. This is what he wrote:

Perhaps the president should have considered the comments of Saudi cleric Muhammad Al-Arifi on Egypt's Al-Rahma TV, July 19, 2010:

“Devotion to Jihad for the sake of Allah, and the desire to shed blood, to smash skulls, and to sever limbs for the sake of Allah and in defense of His religion, is, undoubtedly, an honor for the believer...The Koranic verses that deal with fighting the infidels and conquering their countries say that they should convert to Islam, pay the jizya poll tax, or be killed. If the Muslims had implemented this, we would not have reached the humiliation in which we find ourselves today.”

Imagine turning on your tv and hearing an American preacher talk like that? This shows the wide chasm between our culture and the Islamic world.

Do you read jihadwatch.com? It is one of the best websites on Islam and has many links which reveal how Islam is affecting its victims in many parts of the world. This is a global war.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with making immigration serve the needs of the nation instead of those seeking to come here.

Are you bringing capital you will use to establish a business that will employ people, fortify our economy and pay taxes? You’re in.

Do you have a highly developed, in-demand skill or advanced knowledge in short supply here? You’re in.

Are you likely to establish a (relatively ordinary) business that will employ others, like a dry cleaners, restaurant, or store? You’re in.

Is someone already here willing to sign (as was required when this nation still had sense) a pledge that, should you prove incapable of supporting yourself, that they will, and back that pledge by showing they have sufficient assets and income to do that? No one admitted to this nation should expect to receive anything beyond the most limited, short-term emergency humanitarian aide.

None of the above apply if you have been convicted of a serious crime, are infirm, carry communicable diseases, won’t both learn and affirm the Constitution, or won’t vow loyalty to this nation over all others. If any of these apply to you, you’re not in, and you never will be.

Above all, the mere fact that other family members managed to get here illegally should do nothing to improve your chances of being admitted here, and perhaps should impair them.

Until we allow common sense to inform our immigration policy, we are doomed to demise as a nation.

And, of course, if you are found to be living and/or working here illegally, you lose (at least for a substantial period like 3 to 5 years) all chance of being admitted legally.

Everything else kinda made sense apart from the communicable disease(cold anyone) or the infirm part.

As for the last one,better remind those American retirees living overseas,that they need to be returning home.None of them should be living there according to you.

Also someone might want to explain the whole citizenship process to Murdoch.

Nice post # by the way.

Yeah, I thought about my choice of the word “infirm” later. The correct phrase is “not in sufficient health to work and support yourself.”

As for the communicable disease thing: If you came to Ellis Island sick (and, after many days at sea in steerage) you didn’t get sent into the general American population until you got better. If you didn’t get better, you were sent back.

Notice how the number of cases of whooping cough in California is higher than it has been any time since 1954? Do you really believe it’s because our vaccinations stopped being effective? It’s far more likely whooping cough is spreading across California because millions illegally there from Mexico and elsewhere were never vaccinated.

There was probably some deal that the European Union will be Islamic. The EU wants the oil and to expand their new version of the Roman Empire and the Saudis want to sell their oil and convert Europe to an Islamic continent. Now, I really believe that this is actually what is behind this. The EU is the first step to a world government and no doubt, the arrogant European leaders believe they are going to be the rulers of the rest of the world. Deluded fools.

Hey newbie - attacking other FReepers from a position of pure ignorance is unacceptable. Get a clue.

The fact of the matter is that many diseases that were virtually eradicated in the U.S. have made a comeback due to massive illegal immigration over our southern border.

I am not particularly for illegal immigration,in fact I think it is probably one of the greatest threats to this State.

I see it as a global issue is all.If one country has open borders policy then either the other country does the same.Or they both agree to be good neighbors and stay out of each other’s yards.

That helps you understand my POV?
