webfact Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Merkel dismisses link between Islamic extremism, refugees BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Angela Merkel has dismissed suggestions that the influx of refugees over the past year has brought Islamic extremism to Germany. German news agency dpa quotes Merkel as saying that "Islamist terrorism by IS isn't a phenomenon that came to us with the refugees, it's one that we had before too." Merkel was speaking late Wednesday at a political rally in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where her Christian Democrats face strong competition from the nationalist Alternative for Germany party in state elections on Sept. 4. The country has been shaken by a string of attacks, two of which were the first in Germany claimed by the Islamic State group. In those, only the attackers — both asylum-seekers — were killed. In an unrelated attack, a German teenager killed nine people in Munich. -- © Associated Press 2016-08-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamgeorgeallen Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 rest of the world needs to learn from this and not be lied to. there is talk of nz raising the number of refugees and there has been a public back lash. west needs to stop handing out citizenships to those who are unwilling to fit in. using these refugees to prop up flagging birth rates is very a very short sighted idea.

gchurch259 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 So if it was a problem before, bringing in more would solve the problem. Reminds me of the Forrest Gump Quote. They should only allow Women and children in. The men should stand and fight for their country. Put them in internment camps and send back after the fighting in their country.

Can't remember Forrest Gump anywhere in the movie saying that men should be put in concentration camps because they dont want to fight in a war! Maybe you watched a Russian dubbed version of the movie? Or are you mistaking it with your copy of "triumph of the will" maybe? Free world countries dont owe "the rest" a permanent living, but free world countries cant reject refugees fleeing from a worn torn country, whether woman, child or man.

The posters above are not saying anything of the sort. These unfortunate children are the victims of a particular incident in a long drawn-out war. The are neither, so far at least, refugees or asylum seekers. Your comment about blue eyes and blond hair is outdated, irrelevant drivel; the Nazi era ended 70 years ago. As the Thai people universally have black hair and dark eyes it seems unlikely that anyone with the fetish you describe would bother reading or posting to Thai Visa. Finally, how do you know what the childrens' religion is? Their family may be Christians. For all their failings the Christian churches have played a key role both in providing relief on the ground, organising relief for refugees and taking a moral stance against the wars in the Middle East; and you describe them as hate filled. Your post is illogical and idiotic in every respect. The wooden spoon is in the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get real, this is happening every day to men, women and children, and it is our moral duty to help people fleeing from these atrocities!

I don't know what these children's' religion is, and honestly I really don't care. I bet you though that 99% of the anti refugee people here are 100% anti Muslim. Yes I say that Christianity is a hate-filled religion (as is Judaism and Islam for that matter), and a single good deed doesn't change that. Finally, you are either ignorant (deliberate or not) to some of the statements made by people or dont read much of the posts here, but fascism is alive and well on ThaiVisa! For me all the more reason to keep bringing it up, and to never march in line with their ideology..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that? Because they aren't your kind of ubermensch with blue eyes and blond hair? Or because they believe in another fairy tale than your hatred filled religion? How about because the mass migration of people, who mostly aren't interested in changing their culture, believes, habits, is likely to bring the problems they have that screwed up their own countries with them. And share them with you. What do you propose - millions migrating to the West, leaving vast open expanses of poverty in their own countries? A very high % of those who tried to get into Europe weren't genuine refugees but simply economic migrants hoping to become successful illegal immigrants. How about countries like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc starting to take responsibilities for their own self created shit heaps? And how about their fellow Muslim countries, some of whom are very rich indeed, actually doing something to help or take some real refugees? Sponging on the West, whilst harboring a hatred of Western culture, religion, and civilization and demanding entitlements as if by right is utter nonsense. And most people in the West know it and have had a belly full of bleeding heart liberal PC correct "bigger picture" clever shit politicians telling them other than the reality. The do-gooders think these people think they are wonderful and are so grateful whereas many are laughing at how easy it is to get what they want and demand more and more. Why not post pictures of those beheaded, raped, burnt alive etc by the Muslim terrorists to see if you get sympathy and can try and hog the moral high ground.

What you are saying is that people living in war torn countries have no right to flee from the war, for instance the Tutsi's should just all have staying Rwanda so that all women could be raped and murdered (maybe then 2 million men women and children could have been killed iso of only 1 million, right?), or that all jews should have stayed in Nazi Germany so that it would have been even easier for the nazis to send all Jews to the gas chambers. After all, these atrocities were no excuse for people to pack-up and move to another country, right? I wonder which country you mean is occupied by refugees. Only 1.5% of the German population is refugee. And Germany has by far the biggest number of refugees. So can you explain how this "occupying a country"?

tomacht8 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Even the IS confirmed that they will send more terrorists into Europe. There are many sources about their strategy.http://news.sky.com/story/islamic-state-sending-more-fighters-to-europe-10249434http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/isis-floods-more-fighters-europe-7788875 The unregulated chaos with that many, economy and war refugees coming to Europe, making it for the Islamic terrorists easy to nestle in europe permanent. They will disguise themselves first with a normal life. Later as determined more terrorist attacks will follow in the near future. Merkel is apparently unable to recognize her own mistakes and the reality.She has causing great harm to Germany and Europe. I hope she is gone soon.

Dustdevil Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Let the other Arab countries take them in. Only Lebanon, I think, has stepped up to the plate. What about rich Saudi Arabia with its perfect Islam and plenty of space. Not to mention the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Yemen, Bahrain, Turkey (which is becoming more a theocracy every day and really doesn't belong in NATO.) The Arabs are responsible for their own behavior, get the governments they deserve, and have no right to flood Europe and then bite the hand that feeds them. Some people ultimately blame the U.S. for stirring up a hornet's nest under Bush, and it's true, but the West can't help it if the Arabs are a bunch of hornets and is not responsible for their miserable failure in the Arab Spring and the way they behave, mostly killing each other because of clan and sectarian clashes. Many westerners cannot imagine how much the Sunnis hate the Shia, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
