They need young blood. These refugees are just their answer.
Maybe if most of those refugees were "Christian", I'd agree. But; Germany needs to say point blank: "become German" or leave!

Not all Germans are "white" and, "Islam" ain't a race, either.

Hell no. I have worked for German companies in the past and the Germans are way too ethnocentric to even own global companies. The Germans need to embrace multicultural or they should be mandated to divest of all global economic interests.

The 'cultural enrichment' of Germany is well on its way.

1. "Assad is fighting against ISIS":

No he is NOT, he actually allows ISIS to encroach on rebel territory, throughout Syria. In fact he would rather ISIS take an area rather opposition forces, this "secular" murderer is apparently not so opposed to Islamists ISIS taking areas, he is more concerned about his own power.
Take this BBC article from last week: Islamic State battles Syrian rebel forces in Damascus - BBC News.

"A Syrian military official told the AFP news agency that he was "very happy" about the jihadists' attacks on the rebels and that troops were "ready to react if they try to advance into government-held territory".

The regime is happy that ISIS is beating back the rebels. Yep they prefer ISIS to ANY opposition forces, whether Nusra front or a secular group.
Get it in your head people!!!! Bashar Assad if faced with a secular democratic Opposition and him leaving power, or ISIS controlling half of Syria and Assad controlling Damascus, I would guarantee BIG BUCKS that he would rather the latter situation than the first. Assad's ONLY concern is staying in power and making dumb, ignorant or those with underlying motives people in the West and around the world, believe that he is a bulwark against ISIS and that the world needs him!!!

2. "If we stop insisting that Assad leave, things would get better":

Really our "insisting" anything won't help the situation, our words won't stop the war in Syria. I have not heard this from anyone on this message board, but have heard it in real life and elsewhere on the internet and it PISSES me off!
So let's imagine Barack Obama changes tune and says Assad should/can stay in office and we need him too. Does anyone with a functioning brain actually believe the fighting will stop? Do you think the rebels, of all shades, will drop their war and say "shoot, Obama gave Assad green light, we should give up"? or that ISIS will close up shop? Really the rebels have lost faith in Obama and the West, as have the Arab nations. And the war against Assad is still ongoing. Heck when our president, as well as European and Arab leaders called on the butcher of Damascus to leave power three years ago, did he leave? So really our "insistence" or "words" will do squat.

3. "We are fueling the fighting"
Now we are screwing up in Syria, but in another way. But this notion that the U.S and West are sending weapons to rebels is crap! We have ignored the rebels, and they have pleaded with us for help. Now the Arab nations and Turkey have stepped up giving help, they have said "screw Obama". No the ones fueling the bloodshed in Syria for the MOST part, is not the West, Arabs, Turkey. It is the FILTHY Russians and Iranians. They support Assad, who is doing most of the killings.

http://www.businessinsider.com/assad...an-isis-2015-2

Yes dirtbags like Putin and Khamenei and his "moderate" stooge Rouhani are after Assad, killing more Syrians. Not us.

Now we are screwing up by only fighting ISIS, and not doing anything to help bring the fighting to an end. Our only concern is ISIS ISIS, not Assad. We are conducting strikes in Syria for a year now, and have never ONCE hit Assad's targets.

So please spare this bold face lie that we are tough on Assad.

Thank you, and maybe I'll think of more points, but those are the main ones.

This was the second half of the headline...

"...one for every 100 refugees who arrived last weekend"

I had to check for a second this wasn't an article from The Onion!

Well the US ally Turkey rather attack Kurdish rebels who are the biggest resistance groups against ISIS instead of of Turkey attacking ISIS. Turkey holds a big border to ISIS but is not really doing much to counter the ISIS and infact Turkey and ISIS are doing business with each other. Turkey is part of NATO. Where are the protests in Washington of the ISIS and Turkey connection and Turkey attacking the Kurds who are the biggest resistance group against ISIS?

In addition the US and the west has aided Syrian resistance groups that have links to Al Quedia and also ISIS members have received western military aid.

It no different from the US providing assistance to Bin Laden who was fighting against the Soviets in the 1980s.

Here is a report of ISIS and the (Free Syrian Army who the US and much of the West back fighting together against Assad regime). ISIS and the Free Syrian army are fighting together against the Syrian government and it allies.http://www.wnd.com/2015/07/isis-figh...army-al-qaida/
