A friend posted this one somewhere else, thought it was interesting to say the least.
Its amazing to hear a politician (albeit a foreign one) who's got the courage...no BALLS to state the obvious. German Chancellor Merkel said that their policy towards multi-culturalism has failed...
If only Obama or any other US Politician will pay attention to this and be willing to state such a thing here....imagine if that same type of speech coming from Obama one day??
Merkel says German multi-cultural society has failed - Yahoo! News
BERLIN (AFP) – Germany's attempt to create a multi-cultural society has failed completely, Chancellor Angela Merkel said at the weekend, calling on the country's immigrants to learn German and adopt Christian values.
Merkel weighed in for the first time in a blistering debate sparked by a central bank board member saying the country was being made "more stupid" by poorly educated and unproductive Muslim migrants.
"Multikulti", the concept that "we are now living side by side and are happy about it," does not work, Merkel told a meeting of younger members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party at Potsdam near Berlin.
"This approach has failed, totally," she said, adding that immigrants should integrate and adopt Germany's culture and values.
"We feel tied to Christian values. Those who don't accept them don't have a place here," said the chancellor.
"Subsidising immigrants" isn't sufficient, Germany has the right to "make demands" on them, she added, such as mastering the language of Goethe and abandoning practices such as forced marriages.
