Germany’s multicultural failure

David P. Goldman writing at First Things / On The Square: “Today, [Merkel's] party offered a position paper stating that while Germany had benefited from immigrants, it had problems ‘with a minority which will not integrate itself, doesn’t learn our language and shields its children from participation and advancement in our society.’ Germany should offer ‘no tolerance’ to those who refuse to integrate into German society, including consequences for residency’ . . . The facts the global press failed to mention, however, include the fact that an important motivation for the Chancellor’s remarks lies in Germany’s profound disillusionment at the radical Islamist tendencies in Turkey’s government, led by Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, and Germany’s alarm at Turkey’s drift towards Islamism.”
