    Implying that these Germans are also peeved that as an EU member state they have to allow immigration from other EU citizens.

    but to much immigration and German culture it self drowns...Your decision as to whether or not you think that is a good thing.

    I don't really think xenophobia is something anyone should be worried about. Globalization is here to stay. The world is getting smaller. Gradually they (xenophobes) will become less relevant and have less power and influence.

    Islam isnt just a religion, its a form of government.

    Islam is completely incompatible with western culture and values.

    Servants of islam, dont care about the laws of the countries they live in, they serve Allah, only.

    There is a reason why vlad the impaler, is a Romanian hero.

    I'd say that bringing in too many people too quickly isn't really a very smart thing to do, because the natives don't really appriciate it. Had the german government been smart, they'd have realised that a multicultural policy would lead to ethnic polarisation like this.

    ^ Then train your own people to get jobs. This means you won't have to rely on foreign workers. This is what happens when Europeans get lazy.

    oh yeah, that argument for immigration from the left is so charming and brilliant. "we must have immigration because decent white folks can't do these chitty jobs!".

    Not lazy, but victims of counter productive but well intentioned labour and economic policies.

    ISIS and those like them love these protests. ISIS cannot accomplish their objectives of expelling all Westerners from their lands (soldiers, diplomats, traders) and establishing a global caliphate without a polarization of Western and Muslim societies. They need the West to move to the extreme so that their moderate Muslim neighbors will also move to the extreme and join them. Once they have all, or a great majority of Muslims on their side against the West, then they can make bigger moves to expel us from the Middle East, Africa, and SW Asia.

    ISIS and others have been waiting for the West to to move to the extreme for a long time now. The correct strategy would be to work toward the opposite outcome that our enemies want. We must be careful not to isolate the vast majority of Muslims who aren't sympathetic to Islamic extremists.

    Well it is to late for that. White racist Americans and Europeans are going to corner ordinary Muslims and mistreat them. Then they will join the extremists and all hell will break loose.

    Muslims are scattered all over the world like raindrops. They are not a lethal force to disable a country but they can cause mass killings. The more you antagonise them the more they will turn to their religion and militants.

    But of course white racists don't get it. 9/11 didn't send a clear message.

    European's in general have a much more laid back lifestyle than American's.

    European's don't tend to like to work all that much.

    The French are a screaming example of this as they have laws that build in the tip or gratuity into the check or bill thus since a waiter get's their tip built in their is no incentive to do a good job.

    I have waited 30 minutes just trying to get a cup of coffee in Paris.

    I personally have never heard anything in the news about one state complaining that another state needs help.

    But I suppose there might be a few lawmakers complaining but this does not stop Congress from helping the state.

    It's actually quite simple:

    Islamic immigrants, as a whole, in Germany and the rest of Western Europe have done little, culturally or economically to make their presence welcomed by the native population.
    But the doctrines of political correctness and cultural marxism have thus far confined the political opinion against immigration to the "far right", despite it being a fairly mainstream opinion.

    The current protests show that people are finally brave enough to speak out despite the fear of persecution from the radical left.

    What is important to remember here is that unlike America, Germany has a culture of its own. And every immigrant damages that culture just a little by adding just a little of their own. I am not supporting a ban on immigration, however all European countries do need to be careful to nurture their own cultures as well as accepting those of immigrants.

    The United States has a very well defined Culture of Americana.

    Our Culture also includes many different people who came from all over the Planet.

    AboveAlpha...p.s...Honestly...is there a people or nation on the planet that has not been influenced by Americana?

    Germany for Germans... How very European. And this is the tame moment. Wait until the scales start moving in the other direction away from national language, culture, and people. It's going to be a crisis, perhaps a genocide.

    The xenophobic marchers were totally outnumbered by outraged protesters of the march.

    It's not just Germany either. Go to just about any European nation and it's the same.

    Oh, but Germany in particular has to get used to its melting pot status. You see, they brought in a lot of people of Turkish descent into Germany at the end of World War 2 to rebuild.

    Well those people never left and they had children. And those children had children. Now they are as German as anyone, generations strong, but there's a tension there between the bi-culture between traditional Germans and the Turkish origin group.
