German Home Secretary on migrants: “We have underestimated the role of religion”

Oct 17, 2016 11:04 am By Robert Spencer

And life for Christian refugees among Muslim migrants is “still unbearable.”

“For instance, a recently arrived refugee was confronted with these words written on the wall in his refugee shelter: ‘The time has come to cut off the heads of all non-believers!'”

No one should be surprised if Muslims act according to Qur’anic imperatives: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4). But apparently no one in Germany was or is prepared for that.

Thomas-de-Maiziere

“Life for some Christians in German refugee shelters ‘still unbearable,’” World Watch Monitor, October 17, 2016:

A group of German NGOs, led by Open Doors Germany, is calling on Angela Merkel’s federal government, and on State governments, to end the “integration experiment” of mixing Christian and Muslim refugees in refugee centres, saying the situation for Christian and other religious minorities there is “still unbearable”.

“We have underestimated the role of religion,” said Germany’s Home Secretary, Thomas de Maizière, at the ‘Future Conference on Integration and Migration’ in September, looking back at recent events in his country. Contrary to widespread belief in Germany, he said, the importance of religion and faith has not decreased globally.

In September 2015, German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared that any Syrian who could reach Germany could claim asylum there, partly basing her offer on the Biblical principles of welcoming the stranger and those in need. This offer undermined the 1990 Dublin Convention, which said that refugees must claim asylum in the first EU country they reach. This, Merkel argued, was placing a heavy burden on countries like Malta, Italy and Greece. So she also soon urged other EU members to join a quota system, whereby they would be required to re-settle their fair share of asylum seekers too.

Merkel’s gesture of humanity has resulted in an influx into Germany of perhaps a million people since her comment. In March 2016, the head of Germany’s migration office admitted that up to 400,000 had not applied for asylum. Hundreds of thousands have been living in temporary shelters. And the problems of freedom of religion or belief in countries like Iran or Afghanistan or Pakistan appear to have been transplanted to these crowded shelters.

‘I never expected such a thing to happen in Germany’

Many of the people reaching Europe are refugees or asylum seekers: some have fled to Germany from Islamic countries because of the persecution and discrimination they faced at home. Now those from minority faiths, such as Christians or Yezidis, can often experience the same kind of pressure at these refugee shelters in Germany.

For instance, a recently arrived refugee was confronted with these words written on the wall in his refugee shelter: “The time has come to cut off the heads of all non-believers!”

He described his horror: “I was shocked! In Iran this may happen, but I never expected such a thing to happen in Germany. This has shattered my trust.”

The group of charities – Open Doors Germany, Action on Behalf of Christians and the Needy, the Central Council of Oriental Christians in Germany and the European Mission Society – has published a report, ‘Lack of protection for religious minorities in Germany’, which summarises the findings of a survey carried out amongst asylum-seekers, seeking to give the evidence behind refugees’ accounts of intimidation.

I was shocked! In Iran this may happen, but I never expected such a thing to happen in Germany. This has shattered my trust….

      Hello again Don —

      Your comment reminds me of one I read about 5 years ago, as my life transmogrified from clueless to awakened (about The Religion Of Ending Up In Small Pieces): “This is what happens when people take their religion VERY seriously!”

      • Mong says

        Yeah and it’s all a total barrage of shit. We don’t need transmogrifications, we need people to get with the fucking program. There’s no Allah, end of story. Can we stop killing each other over garbage? I’m seriously concerned about the PC narratives coming out of western governments and sensitive trendies alike. We need to have a zero tolerance approach to fairytales. People are free to believe whatever horse shit they like but society need not accommodate it. Hard line secularism in other words. Let’s get to it.

          deport Merkel to saudi arabia- she can tell them about multi culti there- I whom live here have had enough – i hope Germany is not doomed- Must be sure all the mostly young males can not bring in their multi wives and family here- which for now will be allowed.

          I couldn’t have put it better myself Mong. The bleeding heart lefty liberal, trendy politicians and celebrities in the west make me sick.The weakness of the French Government allowing the scumbags to march into their country, tramp about picking and choosing which country they want to go to,roughing up journalists,attacking the police,lorry drivers and anyone else they don’t like. They are from every country in Africa and Asia and the Mid East.Dont hear any complaints from those countries about them going because they are not their finest citizens for sure !
          Hollande and his Government should be kicked out,preferably now but at least at the elections next year.Same goes for Merkel and her Government in Germany and in that over-tolerant pathetic country Sweden whose rulers who names I don’t even know but who have wrecked that country.!
          2017 should be a great year with the elections in those countries to clear out those naive incompetent and frankly not very intelligent individuals who cant seem to see further than the end of their noses.We all knew what would happen! Why couldn’t they!!??

        Depends on the Religion & what is religion! Christianity is not Religion, it’s pure life – people were much smarter in the past then what we have today – most people who call the Bible (the Sword/God Breathed Word) a book of fairy tales or just plane primitive, either has not read it (w/His guidance) or, they look into it to dismember it! Bad news for those like Dawken’s, Russel… For His Word Will Go On For ETERNITY – Everyone who’s life goal was to destroy His Word had lost – They (with out any doubt are in Hades) chose not His (free) Gift of a Glorious Eternity for a place designed for the devil & his angels! What a pity – so sad!

        For those who follow Esau by beheadings, murder etc, Scripture tells us that death & Hades is their Reward! Scripture of old has always come to pass, no reason to believe the remaining prophesy’s won’t be 100 percent correct as those past – Only the Bible has this perfect track record! The German’s (& the rest of the world) can take a lesson from Roman’s chapter 1 starting w/verse 18 -31!
        Note; the Lord also promised that He’d wake up the Eshmaelite’s in the latter days, just a He will the Hebrew’s! Isaiah 53 will come to the Light of Light (Jesus) & they’ll turn to the One who always loved them! By the way, the Church will never replace the Jews, this belief has wrought much grief! The Crusades were necessary in order to stop the slaughter of the ottomans – very few lives were lost during the Crusades compared to what the ottomans were doing – the world (today) plays on the ignorance of the average Joe & Cloe!

      “The time has come to cut off the heads of all non-believers!”
      Those who came in search for life and livelihood saying to those who offered livelihood.Majority Muslims have no sense of gratitude. First comes the wicked men – destroying, vandalising, and then come the women children and elders to say “No, Islam is a peaceful religion”. both side fooling everyone. If Islam is a peaceful religion, why have they been to Europe, seeking life and livelihood? Why not to Mekka or Medina? Europeans have become so soft and it is bad for them. If not careful, Europeans, one day will be asked either to convert or ready to die and then the whole world.
      Sorry to see Europeans doomed under Liberalism and Secularism. When one by one Europeans are being taken over by sword, the Political leaders there teaching fake democratic and secular values. Concepts are good but not during difficult time.

    “I never expected such a thing to happen”, said de Maiziere.
    Thus does he expose his culpable negligence of knowledge about Islam.
    The information is easily available. He has failed.
    Robert Spencer expected such a thing to happen. So did Pamela Geller. So also Hamed Abdel Samad, Michael Stuerzenberger, Nassim ben Iman, and many others.
    The German government has failed.

    This is the classic example of the “arrogance” of the West that Islamists rail against. It is not only the military and economic power of the West they despise. That is only part of it, and I believe a small part of it. The “arrogance” they hate is the Western belief that Western economic well being and enlightened secularism is superior to Islam, to all religion. So this silly Western myth that if we can only provide Muslims with a path to the better Western way, they will obviously agree and reform. Muslims do not believe that for a minute and that is the “arrogance” they most detest. They make that point at every opportunity but Western leaders are blind and deaf to it.

    The “why can’t we all just get along” Western elitist will only come to terms with their own fairy tale myths moments before their throats are slit by a scimitar in the hands of their invited guests.

        The Second Amendment is a slender reed. Depending on the election results, the Second Amendment may be eviscerated in short order. The Democrats require civilian disarmament to achieve their political objectives. The real question is whether Americans will exercise their natural and God-given right to keep and bear arms despite the anti Constitution orders of a tyrannical government and a fraudulent Supreme Court.

      • Carolyne says

        Oct 18, 2016 at 4:24 pm

        If Hillary Clinton is elected president, there will be no Second Amendment in which to put your faith. She will appoint Supreme Court Justices who will dismantle the Constitution and do away with the First and Second Amendments. We will be disarmed and gagged by Hillary Clinton and her Muslim pals. This is truly our last chance. It will not come again.

    • Gen Jones says

      Oct 17, 2016 at 11:58 am

      Absolutely true. Germany like many Western countries has secular values that make daily life pretty safe and stable with a rule of law and nice way of life so apparent we forget how hard it was won. Christian heritage is reflected in holidays and life milestones like births marriages and funerals, perhaps not weekly mass. These are people who cannot imagine the way religion permeates every aspect of life from sun up to sun down. The values that Western people hold dear, that they think are so superior that it’s obvious, they do not have to even be explained or thought about – equality not based on sex or religion, freedom to think – are completely alien to a person raised in Islam.

    No. you underestimated the role of **islam**, not any other religion. And that’s because you’re a PC/MC moron, who can’t be bothered to crack open a koran, or read any of the *thousands* of reports of islamic violence all over the world.

    So the ME Christians and Yazidis, and your own German people have to suffer. But that’s OK, because neither you, nor Merkel, nor any of the other European ‘leaders’ will ever, ever have to live anywhere near a muslim no-go zone, or a mosque, or a halal butchery, and none of you will ever have any muslims anywhere near your security details, and none of you will ever feel *your* precious hides singed, right ?

      Oct 18, 2016 at 7:24 am

      That’s right. There isn’t even truth in admitting the mistake because as you say, it isn’t “religion.” To say “religion” instead of Islam, obscures the problem and insinuates equal culpability. If they imported ardently religious people of any other faiths, there wouldn’t be the threats and violence.

    3.Party Electorate is forced to accept a certain person, no chance of another

    4.Completely controlled media propagandist

    5.Cutting off communication of opposition groups/orgs

    6.A mentally off fanatical leader

    7.Outside similar fanatical leaders support

    8.Same hated group Christians/Jews

    In the 1930’s Germany’s democratic process was vulnerable to attack by someone who did not play by the rules.

    How is it different in 2016?

    As the growing Muslim population becomes a voting block, they can hijack the process, get their people in place, and use intimidation against the opposition. Merkel’s party then becomes a tool.

    They never learn. Let’s hope America is immune to this process.

You/we in the not so free West are in an ongoing struggle for freedom . The fight for freedom is a continuum . And it isn’t located here or there .

    How about “we have underestimated the role of THIS religion”?

    Is it possible that one particular group of immigrants might hold views that are totally incompatible with your native values? Apparently yes it is, even if you have never considered that possibility. Although a rudimentary knowledge of history over the last 14 centuries would have forewarned you and a clear eyed view of contemporary events should have alerted you.

    So your willful ignorance and blind denial has led you to put the entire nation at risk of subjugation and defeat. Time to step down sir.

    Oct 17, 2016 at 12:41 pm

    Perhaps the rule of thumb should be: “Never let the total number of Muslim immigrants exceed the number of civilian police forces available to supervise them”.

    You might also consider “What will be the total cost of all criminal attacks and the security measures needed as a result?”. Remember the goal of Bin Laden was to bankrupt us first, then seize control of our government.

    The warnings about the evil ideology ISlam could be seen years ago, but were ignored deliberately
    by all “politicians” and the people who warned were marked as racists and nazies.
    Now, as it becomes too obvious, they are suddenly surprised and pretend that no one could have
    seen it coming. The so called european “politicians” are responsible for every crime comitted by the
    very people they invited with teddy bears, open arms and the promise of a carefree life in Europe.
    At the very top and responsible for all damage done is Merkel – the most hated “human being” in Europe.

      Oct 19, 2016 at 7:25 am

      Absolutely right Merkel with her naïve and stupid “velcome to Deutschland ” policy vastly amplified not only Syrian immigration but economic immigration from every poor religion dominated country in the world.
      The UK now are allowing “children” from the French Calais camps to enter the UK Some of these children(supposedly under 18) are turning out to be in their 30s.These brave followers of Allah do not hesitate to hide behind their children in so many ways. The bleeding hearts of the UK object to them being physically tested when they arrive although the Government says they will but will they return them to France?
      I doubt it !.Don’t think the French with their disgraceful policy will allow it either!!
      So once again the Chancellor of Germany has led the continent of Europe to a dangerous and uncertain future. GET HER OUT GERMANS!!!!!!!
      Even if no official immigration at all were allowed there is still tens of thousands of illegal immigrants in Britain. The government to their shame has no idea of the exact numbers but they are still coming in.In fact the preferred method of entry for immigrants is the illegal route as they can’t be checked out and documented. This has gone on for decades and that is why the UK is one of the preferred destinations and also many have relatives there and extended families abroad hoping to get in.

    Is it your wife they demean with their insulting cries of “Whore!”,
    And assure her that her pretty face they’d smash?

    Is it your boy who gets picked on all the time when he’s at school,
    Who gets threatened he’ll be given broken bones?
    Is it your car that they vandalise and seek to set on fire,
    And your house they keep targeting with stones?

    Is it your road where they park and double-park outside the house,
    Or urinate in driveways and in yards?
    Oh no, sorry. I forgot. It isn’t like that. Silly me!
    At your place there’s a gate with well-armed guards.

        It is not just Germans who are involved in this dhimmitude, but many who were the victims of Nazi aggression seventy-five years ago, like the French, the British, and the Dutch. This is *not* just a German problem.

    f Merkel and this Minister had a minimum of decency, they would resign due to groos incompetence. governments are supposed to analyze what they do and make prudent decisions. Anyone with half a braidn and a minimum of knowledge of Islam could have told them that what they are doing is plain crazy.

    And we may soon have President Hillary, our own Angela Merkel on steroids, who considers even discussing Islam to be racist. She doesn’t just underestimate religion, she believes that xeno-ignorance is a form of political correctness.
    Look at Europe and see where that ignorance leads.

      Even Gary Johnson’s running mate, RINO Bill Weld (R-MA Gov) admires Merkel. Doubt there are ever going to be refugee centers in Chestnut Hill, Wellsley, Framingham, Cambridge, Somerville, Natick, Martha’s Vineyard, Marblehead, Braintree or Brockton..

      About the same odds of one in Chappaqua…

        Even Gary Johnson’s running mate, RINO Bill Weld (R-MA Gov) admires Merkel…
        ……………………………….

        And if this third-party ticket is compromised–and it is–consider Jill Stein’s running mate Ajamu Baraka.

        He has work in a book titled, “Another French False Flag? Bloody Tracks from Paris to San Bernardino”, edited by a Holocaust denier and 9/11 “Truther”.

        His piece in that sickening book castigates those who care about the victims of the Paris Jihad attack, dismissing it as “White Lives Matter”.

        He also claimed that France *deserved* the attack. He called a vigil for the victims of Charlie Hebdo a “white power march”, and Je suis Charlie as an “arrogant rallying cry for white supremacy”.

        He’s also appeared on anti-American radio show “Truth Jihad”.

        In addition, he’s criticized attempts to rescue the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram.

        Even Obama has not been enough for him–he’s described him as “Your Uncle Tom President”, and has described far-Leftist Bernie Sanders–laughably–as a “white supremacist”, since he comes from Vermont.

        Some of this was covered here at Jihad Watch:

        “Green Party VP candidate wrote essay for book claiming Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre perpetrated by CIA and Mossad”

        https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/08/green-party-vp-candidate-wrote-essay-for-book-claiming-charlie-hebdo-jihad-massacre-perpetrated-by-cia-and-mossad

        An ugly piece of work–and one most Americans seem to know absolutely nothing about.

    Given the fact that Germany has received about a million Muslim migrants over the last year, the government’s admission that it miscalculated the effects of religion among migrants is quite a serious miscalculation with profound implications.

    This naivete on the part of the leaders of the civilized west deserves condemnation and ridicule. One can never underestimate. We do not have the luxury of “taking a chance” or “what is there to lose” lackadaisical approach. The enemy only has to win once. We in the civilized west have to win every time.

    The west must learn from the experience of my people. My ancestors beat back the Arab and Persian hordes multiple times. Each time we won, we were magnanimous and let them go back to regroup. And they kept trying again and again, and eventually found a Quisling among us. Then they were in. What followed later is part of our history which we will never forget. 80 Million Hindus dead over a period of thousand years.

    This is our history and we shall never forget.

    • Kay says

        How do you distinguish darkness without knowing what light is? How do you distinguish cold without knowing what heat is? How do you distinguish male if you don’t know what female is? The same principle hold for these politicians. Since they don’t know who God is, they can’t distinguish who is not of God. Without knowing the truth, they can’t distinguish the lie.

    The world is on a suicidal mission. Europe wants all muslims to come in, Pope is disgustingly friendly to Evil Islam, Americans love repulsive Hillary and are willing to have open borders, “morally superior” can not handle Trump remarks about women decades ago.

    Well folks don’t you think we deserve Islam?

    • Know Thy Enemy says

      Oct 18, 2016 at 3:12 am

      “Well folks don’t you think we deserve Islam?”

      Those who vote for Hillary probably do, but those who vote against her do not! Yet Sharia would be imposed on those [who vote against Hillary] too.

      We MUST make sure to vote in the elections, and I mean every single one of us. I live in Illinois and often come across people who claim that their vote [for Trump] is not going to make any difference because Illinois is a Democratic state, and that Hillary is certain to win. This is very foolish thinking. Every single one of us must go and vote even if ten oracles predicted a landslide win for Hillary. Who knows, Trump just might win because plenty of optimistic people showed up to vote!

    I think it is time for patriotic Germans to call for a national 3-week Strike at work and walk off their jobs. Even if 30% stay home, it will cause a pretty big dent in commerce, taxes, and GET THE ATTENTION OF THE REICHSTAG!

      The German unions are far left. They stand at the trainstations with teddies and cry “Refugees welcome”. They sack AfD-members or pegida-demonstrators. As they would have to organize a legal strike that will never happen in Germany. And for an illegal strike you will never find enough people in Germany who would dare doing so.

    I wonder who de Maiziere means with “we”. Maybe he is speaking of his cabinet collegue Minister of Justice Heiko Maas who boats of not having read the Koran. Maybe he speaks of the dhimmis ruling the Christian Churches and Jewish Councils in Germany. But definitely he is not speaking of the informed Germans who have had a look into the Koran or listen to what Muslims in Europe say.

  32. Kepha says

    Oct 17, 2016 at 9:20 pm

    Meinherr Maziere, theology matters. The French Reformed ancestors who bequeathed to you your name (after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, perhaps?) knew that; and now that your country faces the 499th anniversary of the Reformation, you ought to consider that, too.

  33. Eric Jones says

    Oct 18, 2016 at 1:08 am

    So many people in Western societies assume that all persons from other cultures have the exact frame of refence that Weterners have. Here in the West we take for granted that ones religious beliefs and practices are a matter of one freedom of conscience. Our family and friends my question our religious beliefs but the scrutiny stops there. We are largely secular. You go to church or you don’t.

    In other cultures people take religion more seriously. This is why our guard is down regarding islam. The westerner would not think of imposing his religion on others. To the islamist, islam must rule the world. You must exmine the core intentions of refugees before you let them in.

    Eric

    • Kepha says

      Oct 18, 2016 at 7:00 pm

      I’m a Westerner, but I take religion rather seriously, too. One reason our elites got us into this mess with the Islamic world was because they cavalierly assumed that shedding one’s received theism is all but a rite of passage to elite status. They scorned commoners who kept their Christian religion, and then went into panic mode when the Islamic world blew up with the Iranian Revolution.

      Sure, I believe that there’s a Hell, and a lot of humanity is headed there. But where am I commanded by the Bible (outside the one-time warrant for genocide in Israel’s dispossession of the Canaanites, which happened LONG before I was born) to speed anyone on his way thither? Yet our theologically illiterate elites assure me that my religion is “just the same” as an Islam for which violent jihad for the expansion of Islam is ipso facto just.

      As for vetting refugees, for most, staying alive and safe is uppermost–but there are other things to, I allow. Vetting is easier said than done.

    Oct 18, 2016 at 3:50 pm

    No nobody can be this clueless. It was a purposeful support of Soros, Kissinger and the other globalists elite.

    All bs.

    Read the Qu’ran. It’s more of a satanic book than the California wannbes.

    Every page in the Qu’ran from first to last says to kill, butcher, smite, behead, burn, enslave, rape, steal, cause terror, mayhem, chaos.

    The global elite live behind 90 foot walls with armed guards leaving the rest of us to put up with these demon possessed, savage, sand pirates.

    Again, all bs. Angela Merkel, Barack Obama, all these rulers (not leaders) cannot be this stupid. All of them (except Putin) work for George Soros & Company.

    Islam is the religion of pieces (not peace) just ask the hundreds of thousands of Christians and Jews butchered.

    And it’s going to go ballistic once they take root here in America.

    An Exhortation in the Final Hour

    There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. (Proverbs 14:12)

    For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

    Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.

    For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

    Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

    Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools… (Romans 1:18-22)

    And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

    That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2nd Thessalonians 2:11-12)

    But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. (John 1:12)

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.(John 3:16)

    Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”(John 14:6)

    Jesus said to his disciples, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16:15)

    For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

    Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

    For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.(1 Cor 15:1-4)

    For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

    Because…

    Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved! (Romans 10:13)

    And if you’ve done this remember…

    For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.(Ephesians 2:8-9)

    Politicians and Priests that “Open the Gates of the City” to raping pillaging INVADERS, are PERSONALLY FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE for the damage they cause. Get it into the heads of People injured by the INVADERS, that the deep-pocket Politicians & Priests OWE THEM 100% REPARATIONS. Make these PUKES start PAYING for the damage they cause then see what happens. Get some hungry lawyers after the assets of those churches and politicians……. Quit letting the Politicians & Priests create chaos and bloodshed and walk away. Make THEM pay a price.
    https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CpXRKXbVIAAQU4q.jpg their children
    TAKE all their possessions to pay REPARATIONS to the victims of the Refujihadis THEY bring in for PROFIT https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/?s=Refugee+Council+USA
    It is time the Politicians start serving jail sentences for the crimes of the INVADERS since the Politicians are ACCOMPLICES to every crime due to their letting the INVADERS in.
    NOTHING speaks LOUDER to a priest then the silence of an empty collection plate. Stop all donations to those who betray you https://pjmedia.com/blog/u-s-conference-of-catholic-bishops-bring-us-more-jihadis/ and by the way, Why are all these EFFEMINATE priests not complaining about the REFUSAL of mudslum countries to allow CHURCHES?!
    https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2016/10/19/mormon-church-is-getting-on-the-refugee-resettlement-bandwagon/#comment-76239

    That’s why I say just cut off ALL of them …. nothing gets a priest’s attention like EMPTY collection plates and “word” will get around very quickly IF People will STAND UP.
    The Politicians assume PERSONAL FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY for the crimes of ILLEGALS that they “sponsor” through their “sanctuary” laws and by importing REFUJIHADIS from abroad.

    All Western Countries are pro Islam and anti Hindoo, including Britain. Britain took in Pakistani Moslems by the thousands nut barred all Hindus until Idid Amin forced them to make a concession in respect of Ugandan “Hindoos”. But Germany has been deliberately midled on Islam by US led NATO intelligence.
