1. They are waking up....
Eli Freedman ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (10.16.10)
All of a sudden the West is waking up to the Islamic-Fascist threat that they themselves invited, doors wide open But then again, it may be "Divine Intervention" and G-d is having the last laugh. The Germans and other "Enlightened" European Nations slaughtered 6 million Jews, well their "Gift" was 50 million Muslims!! Who said G-d doesn't have a sense of humor!!
2. THE TICKING CLOCK
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.17.10)
Ve have vays of making you tok ,said the german watchmaker to the broken clock.
3. 33% of Germans advocate sending Muslims back 100% Muslims
lydia ,   Brisbane   (10.17.10)
1.7bil agrees with Helen Thomas and advocates sending Jews back to their original homeland in Germany/Poland/Russia.
4. It Had To Happen
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (10.17.10)
The backlash against Islam and everything it stands for has started. Holland, Sweden, Switzerland and now Germany. For the most part, based on recent history, there is not a snowball's chance in hell that Muslim immigrants will choose to integrate in their adopted countries so it remains to be seen how followers of a primitive 12th. century doctrine will fare in 21st century countries whose belief systems are diametrically opposed to everything that Islam stands for.
5. At least they ain't Jonathan Pollard
Chris ,   USA   (10.17.10)
6. #1 What ignorant rubbish
David ,   Los Angeles   (10.17.10)
50 million Muslims? Anyway, your post is plagiarized from an article from a couple of weeks ago. You aren't even smart enough to come up with your own words.
7. The fact is...
Daniel ,   France   (10.17.10)
The fact is that in another generation or two all of Europe, or at least most of it, will be Muslim due to their higher birthrate. Non-Muslim Europeans are barely having babies.
8. Integration ?
Sagi   (10.17.10)
They have no plan to integrate. In fact the non integration and the retainment of their culture and customs is part and parcel of their insidious takeover plan. Only when the Western countries realise that indeed this is their intention will it be able to confront the problem. In order to find a solution to a problem one must first of all acknowlege its existence and then understand its roots and motives.
9. #4 you are so biased!
Rudi ,   Durham NC, USA   (10.17.10)
it's true that "there is not a snowball's chance in hell that Muslim immigrants will choose to integrate in their adopted countries" but who does? have you ever been to China Town or Little Italy in NYC, or Armenian neighborhoods in Lebanon and Syria?? plus, who is not a follower of a "primitive" doctrine?? at least 70% of Americans are.
10. #3.Lydia -- is 100 percent Racist like Helen Thomas
abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (10.17.10)
#3..Lydia .... Ladia, What are you doing on Ynet ? You should return to the sands of arabia. No one needs another racist who despises truth, reality or factual knowledge......... and especially one lacking in real historical facts like Helen Thomas.
11. #3..5..6..Mediocre remarks, irrelevent to any civil speach
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (10.17.10)
#3..#5. #6......... All three must have rehearsed from the same old meaningless playbook. They make malicious and irrelevent comments...........these are just 3 uncivilised people.
12. Loyalty oath, anyone in Germany?
Genuine Moshe   (10.17.10)
13. germany got rid of the jews-they'll get rid of the muslims
debra ,   usa   (10.17.10)
the krauts know how how to keep themselves free of those who they consider undesirables.
14. Chris#5
Mickey ,   Sydney Australia   (10.17.10)
You're right they are more like Mohammed Atta who flew into the towers on 9/11 or maybe the London underground bombers
15. I don't know they don't want to be part of society
ghostq   (10.17.10)
they want to change the lokal custom according to what they see fit, they don't even bother to learn German, baaaa this is pointless to assume, and I don't trust Merkle this is just because her support is declining so fast she just sweet talk to many people, but it's too late, the crim rate in Muslim Immigration areas r very high. and economy is no beter. this is too lil too late.
16. Human rights
Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.17.10)
It is a basic human right for Muslims to practice their religion and to dress according to their custom. I personally do not like the Islamic religion and I feel very uncomfortable around Muslims. However it is morally wrong to discriminate against people because of their religion or ethnic origin.
17. #6 in LA
Jake   (10.17.10)
#1 Eli does not claim originality. Actually, there was an article published years ago by a Spaniard. I have to find it. It was a very poetic, very moving article telling his regret that such accomplished and patriotic people as the Jews have been all but exterminated, and then Europe had imported people who are neither accomplished nor loyal to their countries. # 1 Eli is right on. Fifty million Muslim is not such a farfetched number. The French do not even register their residents by religion, so we don't know how many there are in France. Add to that all the other European countries, and you've got a Muslim Europe 30 years from now.
18.  Jihadi Conversion
zichron   (10.17.10)
Jihadi Islam forces conversion and believes in the world califate and is incensed by democratic humanist remorse of the holocausts of the jews the armenians and the class war atrocitiesThe progressive human rights humanist cannot accept these trends..
19. Ah hah! Now they hate the other Semites
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.17.10)
I don't blame them this time though. That being said, you should never hate though.
20. Merkel and multiculturalism
Teresa ,   USA   (10.17.10)
what is the difference between the statement of the German chancellor and the loyalty oath? I don't see any. I don't hear cries of "racism and fascism" against Ms. Merkel as I hear against Mr. Lieberman. What hypocrisy!
21. Come on Angela Merkel, be consistent!
Steve   (10.17.10)
Please Ms. Merkel, establish a large, independent separatist Muslim state in Germany. Please be consistent. It is the moral thing to do.
22. Well based on your judgment
Simon Mohammed ,   Falls Church   (10.17.10)
what they have done in the HOLOCUST was well deserved if Not a new one is on the way and it makes them mistaking twice. we know you people love to push people to mistake and..
23. At least we in the West tried to be a
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (10.17.10)
good neighbor and "big" about coexisting. Too bad it was wasted on the ungrateful, small minded miscreants of the muslim Middle East
24. 'Islam is part of modern Germany' Yes, terror is part of
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.17.10)
modern Germany, they did close a mosque in Hamburg that was a center for terrorism. No person in the world will ever be safe so long as one person who believes in islum is still alive.
25. I bet an equal percentage of people think...
Persian CAT   (10.17.10)
the Germans are "unpleasant" people. So what? BTW, since when Germany was "mutli-cultural"?! The bad news is Europe is going back to its bad-old-days, AGAIN.
26. # 3
Birdi ,   Israel   (10.17.10)
This article is about Muslims in Germany. What are you babbling on about Helen Thomas for. Your post does not make any sense. As usual.
27. They added Jews
kuhl blitz ,   Doha / Chennai   (10.17.10)
They added Jews into Germany and ended up in two BIGGEST WORLD Wars with several civilians dead!!! So, I think the problem is with Germany, not Muslims. They are not willing to integrate with people.
28. #3 - Lydia from Brisbane
Michael Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (10.17.10)
Then they're just as ignorant as you and Helen Thomas--and have short memories, to boot. Fully 68% of the Jewish Israeli population has its origins in the Middle East and North Africa. Do you plan on sending them "back" to Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon and Syria? Will those countries be willing to return the land and other assets they stole from the Jews they expelled? Go learn a little bit about the conflict before you start to make comments.
29. #3 Brisbane Aboriginals
Elimelech ,   Shomron   (10.17.10)
as proven by history books and archeology the Jews are the ab-originals of Israel more than we can say about the whites controlling brisbane and australia hey Lydia?
30. Europe's rection to Islam
Eran ,   Singapore   (10.17.10)
And Turkey wants to be a member of the EU. Maybe in 1000 years.
