Thilo Sarrazin is the former German Bundesbank official who wrote a book that outraged the liberal establishment by noting the refusal of Muslim immigrants to assimilate to German society. His book, Deutschland Shafft Sich Ab (Germany Does Away with Itself), has been a phenomenal best seller (1.2 million copies sold) and launched a national dialogue [...]
Years of worsening violence, intimidation and general unpleasantness now show up in the pollster’s results, in which a sizable minority see Muslim immigrants as a threat. A recent survey conducted by France’s Le Monde also indicate an increased willingness on the part of Europeans to express doubts about the immigration enterprise now transforming the continent.

What’s going on in Germany? It seems like more people are speaking out about the threat of Islam encroaching into the West. Thilo Sarrazin published his book critical of Muslim immigration a couple months back and more recently Chancellor Merkel declared that multiculturalism has been an utter failure.
Writer Udo Ulfkotte thinks that Islam and the [...]
How sweet to hear those words on the radio today, broadcast by the BBC. It was a fine moment to hear the leader of a major European nation admit that one of the most cherished liberal ideologies hasn’t worked out at all in actual practice.
It’s a beautiful fantasy, that all of humanity can join hands [...]
It’s good to see another European elected official (besides Geert Wilders) mention the Islamic elephant in the room and how it should be brought under control. Why continue to import people whose values are opposed to Western freedoms?
Some, perhaps many, Muslims would prefer totalitarian sharia Islamic law to western democracy. For example a 2006 UK [...]
In Germany, the man expressing the popular anger against Muslim immigrants who refuse to assimilate happens to be a banker until recently employed as a board member of the Bundesbank.
Thilo Sarrazin has been excoriated for writing a book that is critical of Muslim immigration, Deutschland schafft sich ab (Germany does away with itself). The author [...]
Congrats to Angela Merkel, Germany’s Chancelor, for honoring the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard for his courage in pursuing free speech during the Danish cartoon jihad. The artist angered the Muslim street (not that hard, true) for perhaps the most iconic cartoon of the controversy, Bomb-Turban Mohammed (shown).
As a result of Westergaard’s exercise of Western freedoms, he has [...]
Hearing the truth spoken in public about Islam is not popular among Europe’s elites, even after all the violence and other hostility, so the messenger is likely to get punished.
Thilo Sarrazin, a former finance minister, published a book this week critical of the effects of Muslim immigration in Germany titled Deutschland Schafft sich ab ["Germany [...]
In Washington, a gaffe can be said to occur when an influential person tells the truth.
In Germany, a similar sensibility prevails. A ruckus has been brewing up since last year when Thilo Sarrazin (pictured below), a board member of the Bundesbank, expressed unkind (but accurate) assessments about Germany’s Muslim immigrant population: “A large number of [...]
A few weeks ago, I posted two videos showing the alarming situation in Berlin and other German cities where Muslim neighborhoods are dangerous places for police to enter: No Go Zones Are Noted. Muslim immigrants (who in Germany are mostly Turks) regard those areas of large Islamic population as being ruled by sharia, not the [...]
Young Muslims continue their violent behavior across Europe. However the media appear shy about saying directly that significant numbers of Muslim immigrants are barbaric thugs, pursuing sharia through rioting and anarchy.
Vlad Tepes blog posted a TV news report from Berlin, where police are struggling to maintain order in certain areas with high levels of diversity. [...]
