[@kiranpatel9366]

+Phoenix Zappa yup u r right it's all about labor cost ,but in future country will suffer from these refugees who doesn't care for country

[@Cyricist001]

+Phoenix Zappa What cheap labor? They outsourced almost everything to China and the rest they will replace with robots if they didn't already.

[@phoenixzappa7366]

Cyricist001 eh how do you think an economy works, cleaners, chefs, taxi drivers, freight transporters, delivery men etc

[@Cyricist001]

Phoenix Zappa Your making its sound like there are no unemployed people in Germany without immigrants. Also, in ten years all those will be run by robots. Japan is testing robotic cleaners, goggle tests self driving cars, delivery man are usually collage students, cleaners and chefs are for those that don't excel in their studies.

[@TheKayzieMichelle]

It is fine when people immigrate, but they should do so only if they have decided in their hearts that they want to assimilate. Otherwise, if they truly love their current culture, they should stay in their own countries and improve them.

[@LEOCHRIST100]

we have too many and if only if the person like in austria has money and a diploma with a job waiting then once the contract is signed he can stay only as a guest like african countries, you get killed their, thrown in a mud hole... listen kid you have no clue what is coming..... we are sooooo broke, the whole world that soon the bubble will collapse and then no more nice life....

And now I quote one of your comments about google+: "All I see here are racist, misinformed and bigoted comments spreading their vile message of hatred. " ;) But I didn't expect any valuable comment from an arab. Your people are flooding this country at the moment.

[@anyam6912]

Has anyone thought what this massive influx of non native people's will do to tourism (a big part of European economy)? I mean, why do people travel? Why do they plan out European vacations? Every country in the world has their own indigenous people, history, culture, architecture, social interactions etc etc etc. People from other countries plan out extensive vacations with full itineraries of experiencing the sites, sounds, foods and culture of a nation different than theirs. If European countries begin to lose their culture and unique histories, if architecture begins to be demolished or replaced with mosques or other such things, what will this do to the tourism industry in Europe? I legitimately want to know, I'm an immigrant in my country, so I'm not trying to be anti-immigration. Just asking about the future.

[@lisam6629]

You are totally right. I really love to spend vacations in Germany and France, only because they have such great cultures, architecture, cuisines and people. But muslims often spoil the impression. Moreover, now it is not safe to travel there because of these migrants. I'm not going to visit Germany, until German politicians stop accepting islamists into the country. I'm from Finland myself.

[@mosesImmanuel-sc6zy]

You should ask a native American

[@pietbandiet5833]

So true. Moslims are everywhere and I feel unsafe, disgust the mosques, their non- integration and the Arab language I don't like.

[@TheSleeplessArtist]

So it's not racism but rather against ideology?

its against the infiltration of muslims in germany

Although I am Asian immigrant to Australia, you might find it ironic that my family and I have views that Europe should not follow the trend of multiculturalism. Europe is the cradle and mother of western civilization. Their native people should always be the majority. I've never been to Europe but I'd hate for it to have finally lost its feel when I do get the chance to visit.

[@UlitheUnruly]

it's upsetting, that's why she's crying...Germany is a very tolerant, free country- not used to that kind of bullyism and needing to stand up for itself AGAINST ANYone...historically horrid. I find it interesting - and incredibly infuriating- that those who stand up for their rights against immigrants who don't WANT to be German, who don't WANT to respect,follow, defend,adhere to the constitution and grown German culture of thousands of years and who want to change itr to THEIRS IN their host country- that THOSE who stand up for the GERMAN CONSTITUTION and Bill of Rights are called and portrayed as NAZIS. What a cheap attempt to muffle to gag them. Standing up for your country and its history and culture doesn't make anyone a "Nazi". Actively working on stopping others from speaking up in their own country, bullying them, threatening them - THAT could be called NAZI behavior,folks...nobody minds TOURISTS who don't speak German, TOURISTS who cling to THEIR culture - but if you want to become a German citizen, carry the passport, enjoy the benefots, well- then you HAVE to speak German and adopt the constitution,no matter what your Imam or father,brother etc. tried to make you do. If you can't do that, leave. They should be MADE to leave. "Wir sind das Volk" meaning "We are the people".... finally, after Hitler and the following hatred towards Germans, a feeling of Self Worth ,of needing to fight for their constitutional rights, their glorious history and culture ( there was life and culture BEFORE the Austrian Hitler and his atrocities). In short- immigrants are welcome. as long as they assimilate and WANT to BECOME German. Just like with ANY OTHER country. If they want to establish their old country ,their old country's consitution, religious practices and rights and legal system, create a parallel society with its own ethica,cultural,legal system on German soil, they need to leave. They need to be MADE to leave-ASAP. Pronto.STAT.

UK FOR PEGIDA Europe NEEDS TO REALISE HOW BAD ISLAM IS look a bloody Luton...

[@babayaga66]

Please be very spektical of the translations. Apparently the NY Times cannot find a qualified German speaker? One of the marchers says "wir werden hier mittlerweile selber ausgegrenzt". This means "by now, we (the natives) are the ones being marginalized". It does not mean "we are already in the minority".

[@TheKayzieMichelle]

An example, my grandfather emigrated from Denmark. I never once heard a word of Danish in his home in my life, except the word skoal, wish they used to toast drinking champagne on New Years Eve.

[@rebekahren8052]

RetroRaver I am against islam, nothing racist about it. As Islam is not a race.

[@sugarshock7925]

+Rebekah Ren That's what why wrote "racist/discriminating" and put "race" in quotation marks. The fact that it is a religion, not a race doesn't change anything. It still is generalising and discriminating, nothing more than prejudice and bias. Not to mention illegal, in some degree or another.

[@rebekahren8052]

RetroRaver I dont care about the law when it comes to being right and the truth. In my country you can be picked up by police now just writing on twitter or facebook that you dont want migrants....how can any democracy allow that to happen...oh that is right europe is no longer a democracy.

If the migrants think that you and your government are fools because you show compassion then they need to be shown the door. The percentage of immigrants should not exceed 2 percent ever, get the wrong people out of office and put loyalist in.

Some Germans told me that they care about immigrants and accept all of them because of their bad Nazi heritage. I am a Russian and I believe that German culture is great. There is no need to destroy Germany due to national pardon feeling and excessive responsibility for all countries and all people. Liberalism is important yet there are objective prerequisites that immigrants have to accept if they want to live in a new country.

[@josefineG]

For those who don`t know : Dresden is in east Germany and hardly any people from Arabic or Turkish countries have ever lived there (used to be DDR ) People in eastern German countries are not used to foreign faces, hardly ever talked to them or have them as work collegues. So they just don`t know and act out of stupidity..maybe they have been to visit Berlin or Hamburg and freak out. Apart from that they are just simple, poor minded people who are afraid of what they don`t know. Truth is that you would never advice a foreign looking person to travel far into eatern Germany / Berlin because it might get dangerous. It is very unfair to place asylum seekers in Eastern German cities because it IS dangerous for them there..outside the refugee homers they can sometimes visit the supermarkets only with police protection. Very very sad for Germany!

[@peerm2130]

So much hate here. These people are refugees and they need help because of the war. On the other side USA is taken 15.000, Spain 15.000, France 20.000 and Germany has no Limit. The forecast was 800.000 until last week. The new number for refugees 2015 in Germany is raised to 1.500.000. Yes 1.5 Million people. The heart is wide open, but we have to find a better way to devide these people between countries and we must definitly stop Isis!

[@valkyriesardo278]

So what is the problem about Pagida? It is peaceful demonstration by German citizens. If German citizens in have no voice in Germany than Germany is in BIG trouble. Obviously German citizens are uniting in a shared grievance. There is a considerable number of them so it is not imaginary. And what was the young daughter crying about? Her father supports her having a difference of opinion. She is growing up in a difficult world. Not all who claim to be refugees are what they pretend to be.

Meh, pretty biased and one-sided. Where are the "experts" to show the other side of the argument and point out legitimate concerns about mass immigration? Just putting it all down to racism and conflating nationalism with bigotry is pretty narrow-minded, regardless of whether Pegida really does have less than good intentions. It would be nice to have some impartial reporting for once.
