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.The unassimilable lump of Middle East immigrants causing German angst is precisely Angela Merkel's fault, it can be assigned to no other person. Those verdammt immigrants just won't behave like "good Germans." Something every intelligent observer predicted from the start.
“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.
Merkel's only possible act of atonement will be to go live the balance of her miserable life as an expat in a historically Muslim country like Syria or Iraq. Why don't I believe she will volunteer to do so?
