What really bothers them is that each time the “Syrian” “refugees” commit another rape or act of terror, and the government either suppresses the story entirely or just hides the fact that Muslims did it, German citizens find out on social media anyway.

I’m sure in my mind that Angela Merkel intends to cheat in the upcoming election rather than allow one of the anti-immigration parties to win, and this is one of the ways she will cheat. She won’t be the only leader in Europe doing it, either.

Sometimes I wonder if they intentionally pass dumb laws just to force large American companies like Facebook and Google out, in the hopes that a local company can fill the gap.

I’ve visited Germany many times. The Germans are very sensitive to the awful legacy of their Nazi and Communist past. Yet stories like this make me think that they have learned nothing and forgotten nothing.
