that the global fight against terrorism was no excuse for banning refugees or people from Moslem-majority countries from entering the United States, her front man said on Sunday.

Steffen Seibert said Merkel had expressed her concerns to Trump during a telephone call on Saturday and reminded him that the Geneva Conventions require the international community to take in war refugees on humanitarian grounds.

"She is convinced that even the necessary, decisive battle against terrorism does not justify putting people of a specific background or faith under general suspicion," he said.

Seibert said the German government regrets the U.S. entry travel ban, would review the consequences for German citizens with dual nationalities, and would "represent their interests, if needed, vis a vis our U.S. partners".

New suggestion for the Rantburg Style Manual -- just call Merkel the Crazy Old Cat Lady of Europe.

#4  If all the western nations refused and put pressure on Saudi Arabia which has the money, the space, and pretends to lead the Islamic world the Magic Kingdom would take them in and solve everyones problem. Unfortunately the left prefers virtue signalling and cultural suicide to common sense.
