I'm surprised this guy wasn't arrested for hate speech. I'm sure people like you would do away with the first amendment and pass similar laws here in the United States.

Your strawman reference is a fallacy in itself. I pointed out the last time Germany resorted to demonizing an entire people it resulted in 6 million dead. It started out similarly, and ended badly.

But, go ahead and ignore if you must. If it makes you feel better.

Picture's worth a thousand words. I think mine were severely undervalued.

How is YOUR lumping all Germans together because of the actions of the Nazis any different from people lumping all Muslims together???

I doubt we'll hear more of these Godwin Law invocations when discussing Germany's socialist policies re: guns and healthcare. In that context, it's a utopian paradise. Regarding their pragmatic immigration leanings as of late, the strawman factory runs at 100%.

See below...I'm not speaking of all Germans, but German government

And, I quote:

Quote:
Germany does not have a clean record when it comes to human rights

…No Jew, therefore, may be a member of the Nation.' --Adolph Hitler

"Islam in Germany is not something supported by history at any point," --Hans-Peter Friedrich


I see you're not above a little strawman yourself.

Congrats. Pot meet kettle.

Nothing to smile at here.

I'm also glad to know that my theory re: failure of socialism in diverse societies is still perfectly sound.

People that can honestly not see a difference between Christianity and islam just scare me. Honestly. Christians don't strap bombs to our chests and blow up bus stops.
