Exactly. This IS going to be serious culture clash. Anecdotal... A few years ago I was waiting in line to go to the top of Willis (Sears) Tower with my visiting college student niece. As you can imagine, visitors from all over the world were doing exactly the same thing. It was summer, so my niece was dressed in a T-shirt and shorts. Nothing tight. Nothing revealing. A group of about 7 Muslim men were behind us in line, and each time the line snaked around and they were near us, they leered at my niece so openly and aggressively, commenting the whole time, that it was even making the strangers around us extremely uncomfortable. At some point, one of our line neighbors alerted a security guard who observed what was going on for a little while, and promptly ushered me and my niece out of the line and up to the top in a private elevator just to get us away from the situation. It was that blatant. Very nice of the security guard to do that.
I ususally try and take the high road on things, but damn you showed a hell of a lot of retraint, because were it me, it would have gotten pretty damn ugly! And I mean really quick!
What is it with the Germans? In WWII they murdered their entire Jewish population, civilized and productive citizens. And now they open the floodgates to the barbarians. They can't seem to get anything right.
Yep! I'll bet those Europeans WISHED that they had the gun rights we have here in this country! I can guarantee you, this type of crap will absolutely NOT fly in this country!

I guess they don't believe in doing anything in half measures.

It was just me (female) and my niece. Against 7 Muslim men who very clearly thought they can treat women badly. It's possible some of the other people in line would have helped us if things turned ugly, but who would want that to happen? I give a LOT of credit to that line neighbor who alerted the security guard, and the security guard for deftly and quickly defusing a potentially powderkeg-like situation. I'd say maybe only 30 people out of the hundreds in line at the time even knew what had happened.
Well, they shouldn't be there to begin with. Just send them all home and then your conscience will be clear. No "innocent" little immigrants rights will be trampled.
Decent people: like some legal aliens, legit refugees or German citizens who look "Arab". Otherwise I agree with you.
thats nice but why didnt security do anything about the muslims?
this country is too cowardly when it comes to these types.

They'd scream "DISCRIMINATION" in a hearbeat.
