Merkel says German multiculturalism has failed


(Reuters) - Germany's attempt to create a multicultural society has "utterly failed," Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, adding fuel to a debate over immigration and Islam polarising her conservative camp.

Speaking to a meeting of young members of her Christian Democrats (CDU), Merkel said allowing people of different cultural backgrounds to live side by side without integrating had not worked in a country that is home to some four million Muslims.

"This (multicultural) approach has failed, utterly failed," Merkel told the meeting in Potsdam, south of Berlin.
Merkel faces pressure from within her CDU to take a tougher line on immigrants who don't show a willingness to adapt to German society and her comments appeared intended to pacify her critics.

She said too little had been required of immigrants in the past and repeated her usual line that they should learn German in order to get by in school and have opportunities on the labour market.

The debate over foreigners in Germany has shifted since former central banker Thilo Sarrazin published a book accusing Muslim immigrants of lowering the intelligence of German society.

Sarrazin was censured for his views and dismissed from the Bundesbank, but his book proved highly popular and polls showed a majority of Germans agreed with the thrust of his arguments.

Merkel has tried to accommodate both sides of the debate, talking tough on integration but also telling Germans that they must accept that mosques have become part of their landscape.

She said on Saturday that the education of unemployed Germans should take priority over recruiting workers from abroad, while noting Germany could not get by without skilled foreign workers.

In a weekend newspaper interview, her Labour Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU) raised the possibility of lowering barriers to entry for some foreign workers in order to fight the lack of skilled workers in Europe's largest economy.

"For a few years, more people have been leaving our country than entering it," she told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. "Wherever it is possible, we must lower the entry hurdles for those who bring the country forward."
The German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) says Germany lacks about 400,000 skilled workers.

Yet Horst Seehofer, chairman of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the CDU's sister party, has rejected any relaxation of immigration laws and said last week there was no room in Germany for more people from "alien cultures.

The German government sees what is happening when you have immigrants who don't adapt to the country's own culture, so why can't the British Government see the same?

The UK has had 13 years of uncontrolled immigration, and we have seen what happens; eg. Religious Extremism, human trafficking of women forced into prostitution.

Yes they are some of the worst cases, but it has increased in the last decade.

We do need controls, not just from outside the eu, but from inside the eu as well.

The British Way of Life

The following is the headline to this article

Islamic face-veil part of 'British way of life'

The full Islamic face-veil is a part of the “British way of life” and should be celebrated along with religious symbols such as the crucifix, according to a report published today.

An extract;
 
Opponents of the veil claim it oppresses women and presents a barrier between those who wear traditional dress and the rest of society.
 
But in a new report from think-tank Civitas, Alveena Malik, a former faith adviser to the last Labour government, said the test of whether religious symbols are appropriate should be based on whether they are practical.


In a new report, Women, Islam and Western Liberalism, Mrs Malik said: “We in Britain need to take a different direction from others in Europe and to accept the veil as part of a modern British way of life.”


Sorry sweetheart, but the British Way of Life doesn't include that.

An example of the British way of life is;

The Queen, the changing of the Guard, Winston Churchill, Fish & Chips, Spotted Dick, a pint of real ale, Cucumber sandwiches, cricket, football (or soccer if your from the US), rugby, Wimbledon & queuing to name just a few.

No matter how much uncontrolled immigration multicultural diversity we had under Labour,

THE BRITISH WAY OF LIFE WILL SURVIVE.

Talk about a blind date.

Have a read of this, it made me chuckle.

Arab ambassador discovers bride is bearded and cross-eyed behind veil

An Arab ambassador has called off his wedding after discovering his wife-to-be who wears a face-covering veil is bearded and cross-eyed.

This is the rest of the story.

The envoy had only met the woman a few times, during which she had hidden her face behind a niqab, the Gulf News reported.

After the marriage contract was signed, the ambassador attempted to kiss his bride-to-be. It was only then that he discovered her facial hair and eyes.

The ambassador told an Islamic Sharia court in the United Arab Emirates he was tricked into the marriage as the woman's mother had shown his own mother pictures of her sister instead of his bride-to-be.

He sued for the contract to be annulled and also demanded the woman pay him 500,000 dirhams (£85,000) for clothes, jewelry and other gifts he had bought for her.

The court annulled the contract but rejected the ambassador's demand for compensation.
The report did not identify the ambassador.

Maybe next time he thinks about marrying someone, perhaps he should take a peak under her veil before agreeing.

Certain aspects of the muslim faith that I don't like.

Girl, 12, fighting to divorce 80-year-old husband in Saudi Arabia

That is the headline to this article in the Telegraph.

A girl of 12 fighting to divorce her 80 year old husband.

An Extract from the article;

Saudi Arabia, a patriarchal society that applies an austere version of Sunni Islam, has no minimum legal age for marriage. Fathers are granted guardianship over their daughters, giving them control over who their daughters marry and when. However, it is rare for a child bride to challenge the match.

I don't think there is anything more to add to this.

The headline says it all.

The quicker we get hydrogen powered cars the better.

A message from the UK minister for Justice

I have to show you this.

I found this on A Tangled Web Blog.

Who does Malik support, the whole of the UK or just the muslim community.

I hope everyone shares this video just to show what Malik really is like.

Take a look and see what you think.

This is what upsets me about certain aspects of the Muslim faith.

I have read many articles like this from the Telegraph.

The Headline reads;

Rape victim receives 101 lashes for becoming pregnant

A 16-year-old girl who was raped in Bangladesh has been given 101 lashes for conceiving during the assault.

An extract from the article

The girl's father was also fined and warned the family would be branded outcasts from their village if he did not pay.

For crying out loud she was raped, she was the victim.

Another extract;

Her rape emerged after her pregnancy test and Muslim elders in the village issued a fatwa insisting that the girl be kept in isolation until her family agreed to corporal punishment.

If you thought that was bad enough, what do you think the rapist got?

Here is an extract from the article answering that question;

Her rapist was pardoned by the elders.

I am not against Islam as a faith.

What i am against is the oppression of women and girls of the Muslim faith. This girl is the innocent party, but she is treated like she is guilty of being raped.

I have read many stories like this and it saddens me and makes me so angry that in the 21st century women, of the Muslim faith, are treated like they are nothing, like they are just things to be abused by Muslim men.

My wife thinks we should take some of these Muslim men, who treat women so badly, and give them a sex change operation and then send them back and see how they like to be on the receiving end of the abuse they give out.

I'm sure the victim from the above article would like to see that happen to her rapist.

I don't know what we can do to change things to help Muslim women, but we can't turn a blind eye to the treatment of women in the Muslim faith.

Someone told me once about how we should put more investment into hydrogen gas to fuel our cars.

My idea is that all the western countries should get together and invest in developing hydrogen gas for fuel, so we won't be so dependent on the middle east for our oil.

Then we have a big bargaining chip to get them to change their ways on how they treat women.

Something has to be done, it is the moral thing to do.
