| | Re: Arab gang assaults in Germany | Quote: | |  | | | And the Americans.
Do you remember all the pressure GWB's administration tried to put on the E.U. to admit Turkey as a member country?
I'd only been in Istanbul for a couple of hours when I was advised by a hotel manager to not discuss politics in a public place because the country is so split. This was sparked by me noticing a framed photo of Bill Clinton at the hotel on the wall of the hotel lounge. | | | | | Ehm, actually, the love affair of Turkey with EU and Europe in general is much longer and older than poor GBW's unsuccessful lobby, and definitely older than his accession to US presidency... | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | Not that would change anything, but I thought it was worth mentioning it.

The country made huge steps backwards, that's all.

| | Re: Arab gang assaults in Germany | Quote: | |  | | | So even in the most advanced Arab countries it takes a university degree to know that rape is wrong ? There is no point in comparing human rights in general and Women rights in particular in western and Arab countries. It's shame that it took the mass assaults in Germany to bring this to attention.
@Richdog - please avoid pointing out the major problems the Arab & Muslim world has, especially if they can't be blamed on the west. otherwise you will be considered "Haughty" and even an "Orientalist". As we learned from the Arab spring - the Arab world is has moved on from Dictatorships to Democracy. yippee. | | | | | following me in every post and every thread like a puppy.

It would be beneficial for the thread to hear from a North African his opinion on why were North Africans the majority of the offenders in Köln.

I'm sure you'd do the same if you heard about offenders who set fire to a house or mosque and killing babies.

There is a good movie about this topic "Cairo 678"....fortunately available for free viewing with english subtitles. I can't post the link here but I can send it by PM.

Please share this cultural knowledge with us. | | | | | The most candid confessions I've heard are from those who already westernised and are revulsed by it, or those who brag about their "sexual" prowess over helpless kuffar women. I've heard from both types, often after a few drinks or unguarded. I doubt any regular user on EF will fess up, perhaps a drive by poster might.

AfD (Alternative fuer Deutschland) representatives are not allowed to a public TV debate before local elections in the lands of Baden-Württemberg and Rheinland-Pfalz. This because the ruling coalition parties - SPD and Green refused to participate in a debate with AfD. AfD's main candidate Jörg Meuthen opinion is that SPD and Green effectively blackmailed the public TV station. http://rtlnext.rtl.de/cms/alternativ...n-2648820.html | Quote: |  | | | Die rechtskonservative Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) darf nicht an den "Elefantenrunden" im SWR teilnehmen. Bei den TV-Diskussionsrunden am 10. März, drei Tage vor den Landtagswahlen in Baden-Württemberg und Rheinland-Pfalz, wird die AfD nicht vertreten sein, wie der SWR am Dienstag in Stuttgart mitteilte. Man habe mit "zusammengebissenen Zähnen" zur Kenntnis genommen, dass die Spitzenkandidaten der regierenden Parteien in beiden Ländern eine Teilnahme für den Fall abgesagt haben, dass die AfD mit am Tisch sitzt, sagte SWR-Intendant Peter Boudgoust.
AfD-Spitzenkandidat Jörg Meuthen sprach von einem "teilweise geglückten Erpressungsversuch" durch Ministerpräsident Winfried Kretschmann (Grüne) und SPD-Wirtschaftsminister Nils Schmid (SPD): "Es ist höchst bedauerlich, dass die Herren Kretschmann und Schmid mit ihrem seltsamen Demokratieverständnis den SWR von der angemessenen Erfüllung seines Informationsauftrages abhalten können." Sowohl Kretschmann als auch Boudgoust bestritten, dass es sich um eine Erpressung gehandelt haben könnte. | | | | | | The following 3 users would like to thank yacek for this useful post: | |

One more nail in the myth that German TV is not firmly biassed.
