For now. The number of Muslims entering at
the border grows daily.

Horrific murders happen in every country, religion and society on the planet
There is no large population anywhere on the planet that is horrific murder free
I recently started a thread regarding that horrific murder on that tween by those 2 VA Tech students.
Horrible. Young adults with bright futures throwing their lives away to kill. Its horrific.
Decapitated or strangled, the result is the same, a horrific death
Speaking of VA Tech, they had a rampaging shooter on campus murdering multiple people
There are sick people everywhere
Throughout the history of mankind in every single large society there has been horrific murder
The problem has always existed, it always will :-(

Lots of fun stories today of immigrants getting
teargassed tearing down barbed wire walls,
Merkel in deep trouble because Germary is
super pissed at what's going on. Go socialism!

So you still do not see the connection between islam and violence even though it is clear as day in this case?

Credibly sourced news from Germany:

Merkels popularity among German voters is up 8 points to now 54% approval rating. (cf. Barack Obama in US: 49% (Gallup))

Refugees Buying one-way Tickets Home After Finding Germany Intolerable

"The food was terrible, so disgusting that not even animals should be fed it. They made us sleep in these cold, empty buildings and when someone said they were sick, they just ignored us. You could feel it everywhere that Germans looked down at us like we were bums. I miss my family and can't wait to get home."

Interesting. Here's my 2 cents:

It kinda does suck that they changed the rules for family reunions. Families being together used to be an important part of German culture. But there is political backlash agianst the change and the final word ist not spoken yet. Eventually they will probably go back to the old system. (Which isn't a free-for-all either, but it is reasonably easy to bring your family if you are an approved refugee.)

Other than that, the system works. While NGOs and government are constantly working to improve living conditions, it is far from perfect. With those numbers, go figure. But if some discomfort prompts you to go back, you may not have been in that grave danger of torture and death in the first place. Those that truly need our help and protection will deal with the circumstances.
