German groups say Paris attack shows Islamist threat

Anti-immigrant groups in Germany seized on Wednesday's deadly attack in Paris, with leaders of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and PEGIDA saying it showed the threat of Islamist violence.

Twelve people were killed when gunmen stormed the offices of a French satirical magazine known for lampooning radical Islam.

"This bloodbath proves wrong those who laughed or ignored the fears of so many people about a looming danger of Islamism," said Alexander Gauland, a regional AfD leader. "This gives new clout to PEGIDA demands."

PEGIDA, or Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West, itself reacted strongly to the Paris attack.

"The Islamists, against whom PEGIDA has been warning over the last 12 weeks, showed in France today that they are not capable of (practicing) democracy but instead see violence and death as the solution," PEGIDA wrote on its Facebook page.

"Our political leaders want us to believe the opposite is true," the group added.

"Does a tragedy like this first have to happen in Germany?"

Pedophile-worshiping misogynists (aka mozlums) are evil and not compatible with civilization.

The problem with most of Europe is that it’s illegal to say anything negative about Islam and Muslims. So most of them don’t even know what’s going on with ISIS and Islamic terrorism in general.

Reminiscent of the 1930’s isn’t it?

More like the reverse of the 1930’s. Germans are afraid to defend their own country for fear of being labeled “Isamophobes”. They certainly weren’t afraid of being called anti-Semitic a few decades ago. But while that was completely unjustified then, a little more of it directed instead at the nice Muslims is desperately needed.

We should not forget that along with our British allies and Soviet co-belligerents, we were the ones who deliberately castrated the Germans. At the time, it seemed like a good idea.

“This bloodbath proves wrong those who laughed or ignored the fears of so many people about a looming danger of Islamism,”

Truer words were never spoken.

This is what we get for being “dumbed” down by political correctness. Our leaders, especially Obama, want to ignore the Muslim threat. If this is such a peaceful religion, why have they been killing and enslaving non-Muslims for many centuries?

I know it’s illegal to snap off a Nazi salute in Germany for sure.

Tragedies like this WILL happen in Germany. Many dozens of times before the current German government does anything to stop the carnage.

Germans will rise again. They get things done—and when they put their mind to it—it will be awsome. Germany and Russia will form a bond.Its going to be a bad time to be a Moslim soon.
