“As a nation, we have to ensure that these things don’t repeat themselves,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters in the eastern German town of Zwickau, where a new memorial in honor of the victims of the right-wing extremist cell National Socialist Underground (NSU) was erected.

The memorial consisted of ten trees planted across a sprawling field in the city center, one for each of the group’s ten victims. Between 2000 and 2007, the group’s three leaders were based in Zwickau, where they evaded authorities and orchestrated attacks across the nation with the help of underlings. Police largely ignored the crimes, directed at immigrants, and failed to trace connections between them for years until a policewoman was also killed by the group.

What about the millions murdered by Communists, including freedom fighters in Merkel’s native East Germany? She still has a soft spot in her heart for them.

In her world, international socialists are un-guilty while national socialists (mislabeled far-right) are not un-guilty.

And this is in spite of Islamic terrorists counting national socialism as one of their doctrines.

Yep, those White racists are burning the oldest most respected churches in Europe. They run around in rape-gangs. They kill their wives and little girls for “religious crimes”. They beat them if they don’t dress right. They sell them into marriages at single digit ages. Wish those White racists would clean up their act.
