Cosmicalstorm, you are temp-banned for a month for utterly failing to do even the most basic research into what you are posting. You have been repeatedly warned not to do this. You promised in several threads not to pull this shit anymore, but then went back on your word multiple times.

The mod staff has had quite enough of your shit.
If you continue to shitpost after your temp-ban expires, I or whatever other mod is around will ban you permanently.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

Apologies if it was improper to mention this- I had thought it fitting to post a remark on the origins of the article that was linked to, separate from Metahive's (correct) observation that it appears to have been poorly sourced.
Metahive wrote:Since I'm an avid reader of Der Spiegel I'll comment on this:
Cosmical Ali quotes an article that wrote:There are districts where immigrant gangs are taking over entire metro trains for themselves. Native residents and business people are being intimidated and silenced... The reasons for this: the high rate of unemployment, the lack of job prospects for immigrants without qualifications for the German labor market and ethnic tensions among migrants." — Der Spiegel.
Okay, dudes, here's the quoted Der Spiegel article in the original german (just guessing considering the "gatestoneinstitute" didn't specify where exactly they got it from but the translation fits for the most part)
Just for the record, the Gatestone Institute would appear to be a think tank chaired by (at the moment) John R. Bolton, that guy who the Bush administration made ambassador to the UN.

So yeah, I'm not surprised they cherrypicked misleading quotes from a Der Spiegel article to fit the "Europe is being OVERRUN BY MOOSLIMS" narrative favored by the neoconservative right in the US.
