Guest Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 12 people now, and counting. Apparently the Polish driver was killed by the driver who was behind the wheel during the incident. Quote
August1991 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) On several occasions, I have been in Germany in November/December. In my experience, German villages in December are comparable to shopping malls in America around Christmas.In Quebec, there are "Salons des métiers" in December. However this is called, it has a similar joyous spirit. ====== I fear that a very few Muslim fanatics (Islamofascists, superstitious idiots) desire to make life difficult for the rest of us on this planet. Enough. Let us, as Voltaire, confront ignorance with sarcasm or even irony: To confront the supposed Word of the prophet, maybe we can try humour. Edited December 20, 2016 by August1991 Quote

It is such a tragedy how some fanatics ruin everything regardless of their creed, gender and....religion for that matter.... Quote
kactus Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Posted December 20, 2016 Angela Merckel's immigration policy was the biggest smack to the fascist groups ISIS by accepting the Syrian refugees. A Christian country like Germany accepting moslems with open arms goes against what get the isolationist ISIS and also our own scums in the West want who favour divisiveness over rapproachment. IMO These are the same people who paint ALL MOSLEMS with the same brush. These attacks are calculated to cause maximum damage and cause divisiveness. On both camps you can hear these....'dirty evil terrorist moslems', 'the west never accepts us moslems into their society and want to kill us all'. Both these camps feed on eachother in alienating the ordinary people. Are they winning? Maybe in the short term... The driver was of pakistani origin which could imply it is related to Al Qaeda.

If it hurtles towards the far-right........ ........we can point the major part of the blame to the looney leftists/liberals whose perspective is totally out of whack! When liberalists/leftist try to intimidate and suppress expression of opinion - either through shaming or by force of legalities (such as the hatred speech sham) - this is what will happen. People can't vent through words? They'll vent out any which way they can. Blame political correctness gone amuck! Haven't we seen enough? It's what got Trump into power. The western liberals has been extremists - far left - for so long! Yes, that looks like it. Europe is headed to the far right. As the saying goes, the pendulum swings from one extreme end to the other. Edited December 20, 2016 by betsy Quote

There are a lot of Turks in Germany, and Turkey is becoming radicalized quickly, producing a lot of young, ignorant religious fanatics willing to kill infidels on behalf of Allah.

Hal 9000 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 It's pretty sad that western Europe has to put out travel warnings - to westerners. Quote The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so. - Ronald Reagan I have said that the Western world is just as violent as the Islamic world - Dialamah Europe seems to excel at fooling people to immigrate there from the ME only to chew them up and spit them back. - Eyeball Unfortunately our policies have contributed to retarding and limiting their (Muslim's) society's natural progression towards the same enlightened state we take for granted. - Eyeball
