#1 I don't think the CDU was thinking this one out. Filbinger should have been left in retirement, and someone could have been chosen who didn't have the baggage.

As Muslim resentment brews up more Euro-terror, one need only look to incidents like this for its sources.

However, I don't think one proto-Alzheimer Nazi is any more a source for Muslim terror in Germany than an unsafe Autobahn lane change.

The Muslim radicals don't need any excuses.

#2 I'm rather upset about this and I DID let the CDU know. Since I have been sitting in that assembly in former elections, I had one reason more to do it.
If I were sitting there this time I would leave.

#3 This guy is 90 years old. Even if the Christian Democrats weren't aware of his NAZI past you would think they might go for someone a bit younger to help elect a new president wouldn't you?

#4 The Muslim radicals don't need any excuses.

But why hand them one on a silver platter, BigEd?

#5 I don't think the Muslims would care about this at all.

#6 I think they'd approve, actually. The Arabic translation of Mein Jihad is said to be quite popular.

#7 I don't think the Muslims would care about this at all.

TGA, are you saying that all the skinhead attacks on gastarbeiters do not play any part in generating resentment among Muslims in Germany? However much Islamists might applaud the Nazis for their determined effort to eradicate all Jews, I do not see where they would have the least compunctions about simultaneously decrying racist violence against them as a cause for jihad. Even if that persecution came from those that they applaud.

Such duplicity has never seemed to deter them in the past. Why now?

#8 Check out the relationship between Arafat's hero, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Nazi SS.

Today's fanatical jihadists has his roots in fanatical German Nazism when it comes to Israel.
