Just what world do these politicians live in? How on earth can they be that out of touch with reality? The Jews did not (and do not) accept Mohammed as the prophet, which royally pissed Mohammed off. There you go, Merkel, your history lesson for the day. So let them all in, I wonder what could possibly go wrong! /sarc

What does America have to do with Merkel? Either way, issues abroad effect our homeland in several ways.

Really? Because I don't see Germans obsessing over our internecine struggles.

Frankly, I don't see how German social issues affect me at all. Maybe you can point it out.

And I lived in Germany for 11 years. I was still unaffected while I was THERE.

What you really mean is that you WANT their issues to affect us ....perhaps because of a personal agenda.

But as of now, they don't.

Nonsense. There is nothing Nazi about modern day Germany.

This country has 10 times the racial and ethnic hatred that Germany has.

I just love how you make stuff up and cite it with such authority.

Germany - Relative to the size of the population, this represents an eightfold higher rate of hate crimes than reported in the US during the same period. [47]

German Nationalism has always been just below the surface.
