#2 Islam also belongs in Germany

It is, after all, a lot like Nazism.

#5 Islam belongs in Germany about as much as a tapeworm belongs in her intestine.

#6 EVEN IN CAPS IT'S BS

Joe is apparently connected to the Interwebs via a old Teletype Model 33. Infrastructure issues on Guam, I guess.

As to the idea Germans and Japanese working together on nukes, I would say they are foolish if they are not thinking about it. Germany is not that far, as the missile flies, from some serious and soon to be nuke-enabled craziness. Japan is right next door to a neighbor with determined to expand, a recent history of throwing its weight around and a whole mess of bad feelings left over from WWII. At one time, our allies could count on the American security umbrella. That warranty seems to have expired. Expect quite a bit of weapons proliferation, both nuclear and non, as countries realize they are on their own in an increasingly dangerous world.

#8 I can't imagine Germany wanting nuclear weapons at this time. JosephM can wander rather far into crazy territory on occasion.

#9 Some corrections and comments:

The CDU is not and does not wish to position itself as a 'predominantly Catholic' party.

Merkel's father being a Protestant pastor daughter is not the issue. Merkel being an authoritarian, incompetent politician with zero charisma who is far to left of CDU voters is the big issue.

Wulff's remark was foolish and dangerous, as were similar statements by e.g. Obama.

Islamofascists will actually refrain from implementing certain aspects of Sharia if the country is not an 'islamic country.'
(See e.g. this at 6:35)

If a head of state of a western nation even implies that his country is 'islamic' he unvoluntarily strengthens the advocates of strict Sharia in the country. And this might cost lives.

#10 Wulff's remarks were rather clumsy. Islam may "belong" to Germany in the sense that there are 4 million people practising it, but Islam is not part of German history, culture and thinking.

I don't know a non-Muslim German who could quote anything from the Koran.

The Arabic world was (at times) a beacon of civilization in the Middle Ages, but a very unstable one that could be swept away by the next desert tribe. But Arab and Persian science, literature and philosophy which influenced Europe did so not because of Islam but despite of it.

Merkel may not be a staunch conservative. But she's not a leftist who receives the Dalai Lama through the back door of her home.

#11 I have been wanting a kill filter on Rantburg for quite some time now, specifically to nuke these idiotic ALL CAPS posts. The man who writes them is quite capable of normal conversation, I've seen him drop his pretense before. Unfortunately, most of you love wading through his incomprehensible nonsense and posting replies.

#12 Gromky, don't read them, simply scan them directly into your unconcious mind, and BINGO he's understandable.
Seriously we figure English is NOT his native languag, and allow for it.
Lotta tolerence here for honest efforts to communicate, and none for assholes and scmmers.

#14 Germans MUST obey!. Period.

#15 The answer is simple, chris - just skip over any comment with all caps (or mostly so).

Maybe your comments drive Joe crazy, too. ;-p

#16 He's in Guam, probably on a Commodore 64 with a sticky caps button. Don't even want to know what it's sticky from.
