This was my thought. I remember the taxes going up substantially in France some time back that provoked fears that the richest in France would leave. I just assume they are finally packing up.
As stupid as the French can be sometimes, they are pretty serious about their food, art, and culture. When the muzzies keep pushing too much on damaging those things, the French will respond. Look up YouTube videos between French and muslims and you'll find all kinds of things where the French people are getting pretty sick and tired of this crap. Sadly, Germany is currently more tolerant than they are.
Tolerance in Germany isn’t the term I’d use.
I live here, so I’ll make this observation.
You had six significant parties in Germany. Five of the six are set to full-acceptance on immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees (the Merkel vision). The Bavarian CSU folks were leaning right to some degree and said some things just weren’t working.
So, along came the seventh option (the AfD). Anti-immigration, anti-asylum, and anti-refugee. This party has several problems: no real political stances beyond the foreigner issue, limited people qualified for national or state posts, and some people connected to it with extreme far-right views.
Presently, I’d say that 14-to-20 percent of the country (depending on the German state you reside in)...are leaning AfD. They are taking voters away from every single party, which angers the political establishment in Berlin.
Two state elections coming up in Oct/Nov of this year (eastern states of Germany)....go figure at least 20-percent wins in each state if the present mess continues. Three more state elections in spring of 2017. Major national election in October of 2017...with all kinds of consequences if they were to get 25-to-30 percent of the vote.
With all of this....you’d think from the five parties under the Merkel-vision....that they’d eventually change their view and try to save some of the votes. But there’s such hostility now from the far left and far right....I don’t see much positive to say except there’s major issues after 2017 with the government’s stability.

My bet is that after the tourism dollars shrivel up, Frenchmen will be really upset and rebel.
Who wants to visit a place where airports and train stations are bombed or closed because Americans are targeted?
