Merkel Admits EU Is Being Ravaged By Terror But Says Germany Should Welcome More Refugees
[EXPRESS.CO.UK] CHANCELLOR Angela Merkel has said Germany is facing a “major” threat from terrorism but that this should not stop refugees being welcomed to Europe.

The German leader, who cut short her summer holiday to speak after a string of Islamist attacks rocked the country, said the entire continent was being “ravaged” by terrorism.

She described recent attacks in Ansbach, Wurzburg and Munich as “horrifying and depressing” but insisted Germany would not turn its back on people fleeing the Middle East.

In the wake of the killings, Mrs Merkel said Germany now needed a better “early warning system” to spot radicalised Muslims among the newly-arrived migrants.

She said the central government would “redouble its efforts” against the threat, increasing staff numbers and resources for security services.

#3 Yeah, a light pole, unless the other side wins, when she's beheaded or burned alive in a cage. At this point her best option is living under an assumed name in Paraguay.

#4 I'd just settle for her being thrown out of office and having to go live in disgrace.

#6 Why do they need to welcome anybody? Just curious?

Because we can't give in to fear and bigotry. Because it's WHO WE ARE™.

/sarc...but that is what they say.

#7 Boy howdy that makes a LOT of sense now doesn't it.

Is she huffing on the same crack pipe as "the world is the safest" one in Washington?

#8 I wanna say that Merkel is full on bat shit crazy but it'd have to be a pretty scary kinda crazy if she can get to be Chancellor of Germany that way. So either she is on the same level as Hitler or she has some agenda that she refuses to divulge. But either way it is scary.

#9 She's prolly following an old KGB directive to destroy West Germany, despite there only being one Germany now.

Yes. They pass it around a circle of individuals whose names you would certainly recognize.

#18 Great idea, Angela.

Of course, you're going to house 100 or so Middle Eastern "refuge" men in YOUR house, right?

Right?

(And no "vetting" them beforehand; just go to the nearest arab "feel-up" and grab the first 100 you see.)

In 1966, East German scientists implant a post-hypnotic suggestion in a young girl to be used as an ideological weapon against the West. But East Germany is gone now, and so are the only people who can stop "The Merkelchurian Candidate". Coming soon to a theater near you!

Snark of the day.
