You write, "But growing through immigration involves becoming a truly multicultural society. And Merkel had earlier opposed multiculturalism, declaring that experiment dead. She now, however, seems to be changing her mind about that..."
Many Germans still believe in what is called the "Leitkultur" -- the dominant culture. There is a middle space between what Germans see of a fragmented American culture and the nonsense of people like Theo Sarrazin, whose book is widely read by the xenophobes. Middle-of-the-road Germans' insecurity regarding Islam is a result of losing the Leitkultur and wondering where it will all end up. I think many Germans would, ideally, have everyone going to their favorite church, synagogue or mosque -- as long as they were reading Schiller.
There are so many inconsistencies in the Wilson tall tale that a jury trial would be a good opportunity for it all to be sorted out by a real jury. The liars won in this go-round. Let's hope there is a Federal Civil Rights case -- another opportunity to separate the liars from the truth.
The juxtaposition of the story about Miller with the RT piece from 2011 is confusing. Miller was apparently not involved with a scheme like that described in the RT piece, in which workers were "outsourced" to companies like Hershey's. But from the link to the TV news segment, it appears that Miller's crimes were entirely within the bible college. Not that either case is trivial.
That's one idea. But I think the Chinese have a better way of dealing with political criminals who do inestimable damage to the nation. Too bad the Old Boy's network pardons and extends professional courtesy to each other instead of holding criminals accountable.
I think the point that we are not a FASCIST state is true, but don't conflate fascism with a police state. The USSR was and North Korea is a police state... just as we are.
For journalists to be truly consistent, when a murder is reported in the papers there should also be "balanced" quotes from people saying, "yeah, but the son-of-a-bitch deserved to die."
While this is certainly horrible and is getting a lot of press, and especially in the mainstream media, it is about on par with the tasering and tear-gassing of OWS and anti-globalization protesters that occurred/occurs in North America all the time. Somehow, THAT's just good police work to the MSM.
Oh, baloney. We have only the one act to go on. He did not kill Christians, Jews, Buddhists, or Hindus. He killed Muslims. That's a hate crime.

"But then he went on to condemn the “violent and inhumane” policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."
As if criticizing Israel deserved a "but." Journalists just can't help parroting the prevailing view.

The more they protest it's not so, Zionism looks more and more like Apartheid.
I believe the author meant to write "fucking stupid" instead of "damned stupid," referring to climate change deniers.
As a spokesman for all that is bad in America, Wurzelbacher joins the rest of the "rudderless idiots" that victim parent Richard Martinez referred to.

Ouch. What a smart and delicious public whuppin' of one more NYT windbag.

As if it is not already apparent, Americans are freaking morons.
