Gosh "failed, utterly failed". Merkel said this. WHY?
"Pathological altruism is found in any pattern of altruistic behavior that results in severe harm to oneself or others. However, the pathological altruists thinking is also irrational and distorted. That is to say, his or her thinking appears to be characterised by a suspension of logic and reason and respect to the outcomes of their actions.
Pathological altruism victimizes the altruists themselves, as well as those in their path."

Before proceeding it is of importance framed by Liberty and Equality for 'you to put together a picture first of what a secure, flourishing, healthy, wholesome human life looks like' and the required political and social system to promote such a state then as you proceed reflect if such a life can be, has been in the past, enabled by having the Islamic/Muslim political and social attractors/constructs increasingly reflected into a societies public and private spheres.
MERKEL CAUSED ‘MASSIVE SECURITY RISK’ WITH 300,000 UNIDENTIFIED MIGRANTS.
Dr. August Hanning former director of Germany’s foreign intelligence service said Merkel created a "security crisis” for Germany and the other member states of the European Union with her decision to allow unfettered immigration.
"...we have 300,000 people in Germany whose identities we cannot be sure of. That’s a massive security risk.”
“We have seen the consequences of this decision in terms of German public opinion and internal security. WE EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS EVERY DAY"
Why do so many of our politicians and so much of the media fail to learn from experience elsewhere?
Reflect as the argument proceeds if Freedom of Religion is any longer affordable in terms of the brutalised lives it informs with significant redirection of scarce resources simply to protect ourselves from the symptoms of a cultural religious codex/ideology rather than enabling a secure, flourishing, healthy, wholesome human life for all citizens.

It is a logic which determines a cat of any type represents the same inherent risk it is a dangerous stupid view. It is the fact that a cultural codex construct of Other can inform terror-genocide in the first place not all cultures inform the same relative risk therefore must if one has any commonsense be treated differently.
“Far-right demonstrators clashed with leftist protesters in the eastern German city of Chemnitz on Monday after an Iraqi and a Syrian were arrested over a fatal stabbing that had triggered violent demonstrations
Police said they brought in water cannons after fireworks were thrown from both sides, causing injuries.
State and local officials appealed for calm as thousands of people took to the streets and Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman said Germany would not tolerate "vigilante justice".
The unrest reflected a growing schism in German society after Merkel's government allowed about 1 million asylum seekers to enter the country in 2015, triggering a shift to the right in German politics.”

"Links between terrorist attacks and humanitarian intake
The document cites links between terrorist attacks on Australian soil and its humanitarian intake, pointing to the Martin Place gunman Man Haron Monis, Parramatta police shooter Farhad Jabar and the Melbourne knife attack by Abdul Haider.
It points out that all were either refugees or dependents of recent migrants.
There are also specific concerns raised about the 12,000 additional Syrian refugees the Federal Government announced it would take in September last year.The document says "it is expected some refugees from this conflict will bring issues, beliefs or associations that lead them to advocate or engage in politically motivated or communal violence".

CHINA LOSING BATTLE AGAINST EXTREMIST ISLAMIC TEACHINGS, SAYS MUSLIM OFFICIAL MARCH 30, 2015
rogue = "a dishonest or unprincipled person",
dishonest = "deceitful, fraudulent, knowingly intending to mislead",
unprincipled = "not acting in accordance with moral principles",
principles = "(of a system or method) based on a given set of rules - in accordance with morality and showing recognition of right and wrong",
extreme ="furthest from the centre",
extremist = "a person who holds extreme political or religious views, especially one who advocates illegal, violent, or other extreme action."
Do the statements by Uhuru Kenyatta, Kenya's president, does the evidence even the logic of Adudulkrep's (head of the China Xinjiang Islamic Institute) statement determine as extreme, furthest from the centre/mean of Islamic/Muslim ethics-methodology-set of rules in accordance with Islamic/Muslim morality, existing outside the non radicalised, 'moderate' law abiding families (parents-homes), communities, institutions (mosques) development process infant-child-adolescent-adult, the Islamic/Muslim imams or other Muslims determination terror-genocide against Other is justified and authorised?
Can the 'extremist' view be regarded in all honesty as extreme, furthest from the centre/mean of Islamic/Muslim ethics-methodology, given Adudulkrep's (head of the China Xinjiang Islamic Institute) statement 'I (Adudulkrep) cannot guarantee that they (so called 'non-extremist' religious leaders-imams with Islamic knowledge) would win (against so called 'extremist' 'rogue' religious leaders-imams with Islamic knowledge).'?
Surely reflection therefore determines the cultural knowledge creating the conduct-principles forming the Islamic governance political and social system of the so called Islamic/Muslim extremist is if not at, close enough to the Islamic/Muslim cultural ethical-belief centre/mean to enable their winning the argument for their world-view of what it means to be a true Muslim? There are therefore no 'rogue', 'extremist' 'hate-preacher' imams determining violence against Other are justified and authorised by Islamic/Muslim knowledge they are simply Muslim imams reflecting real-true Islamic/Muslim ethics-beliefs.
Even given so called 'Islamic/Muslim extremists who are anything but given Adudulkrep's statement are furthest from the Islamic/Muslim cultural knowledge-ethical methodology mean ,does it in fact matter a wit, is it a sufficient enough excuse for the Islamic/Muslim culture systemically informed burning buildings, broken bodies and lives to utilise such an argument 'Look how far from the centre/mean of Islamic/Muslim ethics-methodology-set of rules in accordance with Islamic/Muslim morality the Islamic/Muslim extremist knowledge and informed behavior are.". How 'far' in reality is 'far' if this Islamic/Muslim terror-genocide behavior can be proven as it can to be endemic from generation to generation within Islamic/Muslim culture?
For the Islamic/Muslim knowledge to inform so called 'extremists' at such a level of cultural justification and authorisation as we can prove by simple observation of the daily piles of tragedy comprised of men, women and children before us, 'far' clearly in cultural behavioral variance terms is not 'far' enough if Other cultures determine security and harmony as a desired facet of life.
Vast resources need to be diverted simply not only to protect Other cultures from the Islamic/Muslim culture but given the Islamic/Muslim terror-genocide construct of Other simply to even protect Muslims from each other - this is an ideological construct worthy of inclusion within a liberal democratic space? What are the Islamic/Muslim political and social attractors/constructs, desired worldview which enables the Islamic/Muslim culture to support twenty-first century developed liberal democratic definitions of liberty, equality, fraternity without informing bloody bodies in humanities streets as the Islamic/Muslim culture has since the seventh century? What are they?
Logically, rationally the existence of such systemic Islamic/Muslim terror-genocide behavior across centuries and the empirical evidence of preaching by imams, leaders of Islamic/Muslim culture who are not merely generic 'rouge' extremist without Islamic/Muslim hierarchy status, determines 'Islamic knowledge' exists to inform conduct, to the inform the Islamic/Muslim governing principles which are integral to the Islamic/Muslim culture whole.
Muslim parents who would wish to oppose extremist knowledge therefore have 'no confidence to argue against' the so called Islamic/Muslim extremists because the extremists are 'articulate and forceful', not because of their innate rhetoric skills nor their propensity for violence or the threat thereof but because of the simple fact the so called extremists hold the Islamic/Muslim ethic-belief center/mean ground are not extremists in a Islamic/Muslim rational system sense and therefore have the appropriate and sufficient Islamic/Muslim knowledge justification and authorisation to support their conduct and world-view as to the 'true' Islamic/Muslim governing principles and methodology and enough Muslim parents have 'confidence' the so called Islamic/Muslim extremists are the 'true believers' as they are that humanity continually to this very day ends up with infamy blamed on the 'few' who continually are derived from the ranks of the blameless 'many'.

It determines a humans evil, behavior is not their responsibility only the good they do.
It is rather astonishing from the same lips determining 'no responsibility' as a culture is the determination Western cultures actions, the US etc are sole cause of Islamic/Muslim cultures violence. Though some have realised very quickly the logic trap and are now saying it is not the people of a culture causing infamy it is the leadership of the culture who have been put there by who - yes the people of the culture for the culture.

“When
we describe one of our friends as rational, we often want to imply that they
are dispassionate, logical, thoughtful, and in control of their actions.
However,
to a decision scientist, “rational” means “consistency with some model.”
Rational decisions are not necessarily dispassionate, nor well-reasoned, nor
selfish. They aren’t even necessarily good decisions, from others’
perspectives. They simply are consistent.
Rational
choice models do not assume anything about what a decision maker prefers; they
only state that those preferences consistently lead to choices.
Rational
does not mean that a decision was generated by a conscious or logical or
reasoned process. Instead, rationality refers to the outcome of
decisions."

“The Declaration (Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam 1996 – adopted by The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (56 Member States)) is inconsistent with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in that all rights and freedoms it stipulates are ‘subject to the Islamic Shari’ah’, which is to be the ‘only source of reference for the explanation or clarification of any of the articles (Article 24 and 25). Shari’ah is based on the holy books of the Islamic religion, as well as interpretation by imams, or ministers of religion. This makes the Cairo Declaration a religious document, despite some liberal language. It is based on inequality between men and women (Article 6), denies belief rights (Article 22) and limits free speech (Article 22).
……
By recognizing the Cairo Declaration, the UN appeared to give credence to contradictory statements of rights, thus undermining the integrity of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) (UDHR). The Cairo Declaration is considered to be a valid statement of human rights by its signatories, presumably supplanting contrary principles of the UDHR and ICCPR.”

"The head imam at Lakemba, Sheikh Yahya Safi, had told the congregation during prayers that they should not take part in anything to do with Christmas.
The fatwa, which has sparked widespread community debate and condemnation, warns that the "disbelievers are trying to draw Muslims away from the straight path"
It also says that Christmas Day and associated celebrations are among the "falsehoods that a Muslim should avoid ... and therefore, a Muslim is neither allowed to celebrate the Christmas Day nor is he allowed to congratulate them.
"The fatwa quotes the teacher Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim as saying that congratulating disbelievers for their rituals is forbidden, and if a "Muslim who says this does not become a disbeliever himself, he at least commits a sin as this is the same as congratulating him for his belief in the trinity, which is a greater sin and much more disliked by Almighty Allaah than congratulating him for drinking alcohol or killing a soul or committing fornication or adultery”.

therefore such a human-derived condition should be 'shunned'."The findings of the study indicate that citizens (Hofstede and Hofstede (2005)) of Islamic countries share similar cultural values that vary significantly with those of the Western countries."

"The Prime Minister, David Cameron, is to announce the moves today in a blistering attack on the “passive tolerance” of discriminatory practices inflicted on female members of the country’s Muslim communities.
.....
In a move to confront men who exert “damaging control over their wives, sisters and daughters”, he will announce a review of the role of Britain’s religious councils, including Sharia courts."

Is it worth just one child's life to have the Islamic/Muslim cultures methodology of achieving Islamic/Muslim cultural 'aspirations', political and social constructs determined by human experience to be pure infamy particularly for women, noted for informing increasing social hostility which crushes a human capacity to achieve a flourishing life, within humanities public and private spheres? Are we prepared to have our children forever to be run down in our school yards to be shot in the head or murdered in university commons as a worthy price for including the Islamic/Muslim culture in our midst?

The argument has never been about an attack upon multiculturalism, upon diversity nor upon race this would be ridiculous, for in this globalized world of course many cultures need to exist in the same space and most cultures do but tragically some not only do not live harmoniously with Other they cannot due to their cultural codex construct of Other.
Please Explain: Nazi (Hitler-Mein Kampf) & Muslim (Mohammed-Quran) Cultural Codex Construct of Other. Why it is One Is and One Is-Not. Yet both = "I don't mean participated, I mean observed."
It can no longer be a matter of 'educating' citizens as to their responsibilities and behaviours regards each other as individuals in Democracies which necessarily contain many cultures due to our globalized world, as cultures set the behavioral variance within which their adherents exist it is a matter of reviewing what a cultures responsibilities and behaviours regards each other culture in their same space have to be and abide by for any culture to be accepted to and remain in a Democratic multicultural space.

Clearly the continuing acceptance of Freedom of Religion under Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (‘UDHR') as a good protecting a culture informing terror-genocide and misogyny within humanities midst with the incumbent political elites "habit of sloth" regards any of its sacred totems "immunized against critical thought and its challenges" killing any gadfly which dares challenge the political elite and cultural perpetrators 'rational' system and legitimacy of the ethics-beliefs justifying the rationale is a sickening indictment of the accommodation of cultural infamy rather than striving for improvement of the human condition which has seen the golden thread discarded in a vain hope hand in hand with the Minotaur a way out of the labyrinth may be found despite the evidence such an approach leads inexorably to the brutal death of many more of Others sons and daughters.
My view is there is a fatal assumption inherent in Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (‘UDHR”) and it is this.
After each inevitable atrocity delivered by such a political paradigm which protects the real culprits the Islamic/Muslim culture and dangerous inept cultural gatekeepers and their 'experts', the 'good', stand upon each inevitable new pile of broken bodies and lives and the ocean of unfathomable grief into which they sink screeching across at those who demand it stop "Bigots, racists, xenophobes, hateful ignorance, hysteria, trolls, islamophobes, blasphemy, LOVE!". The Islamic/Muslim cultural derived terror-genocide and misogyny continues to march across their victims unimpeded even enabled by State resources and political protection. This is civilisation.
Is one just one child's life worth the price, just one - you think many, many more must be sacrificed to a fallacious vision of cultural harmony which includes within its definition burning buildings broken bodies and lives.
Of course countries, Other cultures object to any culture inclusive of the Nazi crossing their borders without permission to deliver terror-genocide, subjugation of women and with it rising social hostility to their streets - Denmark and other nations response to do whatever they can to halt a diabolical culture which has a proven inherent terror-genocide construct of Other and misogyny is rational and ethically-morally right in that it determines no one can simply knock down the door of your house and demand they not only move in but you supply them with your own resources to do so and at the same time they kill and rape members of your family as well demand to have their cultural anti-liberal-democratic judicial and political constructs imposed upon your society.

We have a knowledge, conduct and governance ideological recipe which informs infamy, has informed infamy since its conception derived directly from its messianic political and social codex constructs of Other and women and we can no longer determine such a ideological construct should not, due to the systemic infamy it informs and can be proven to do so by simple observation, demand it be removed from public and private spheres so as not to have such a culture continue to inform the same.
It is a logic which determines the Nazi non radicalised 'moderate' law abiding 'many' creating the 'few' to become the managers and perpetrators of infamy must not be held culpable for the human misery they inform by their very own cultural creations. Pure insanity.

"In 2015, the number of people seeking asylum in Europe skyrocketed. However, asylum applications were mainly concentrated in a few destination countries such as Germany, Austria, or Sweden. After the so-called EU-Turkey deal, asylum rates quickly dropped in subsequent years. I examine how these developments affected public opinion from both a static and a dynamic comparative perspective. The rapid and largely unpredicted rise in refugee numbers and their prominence in public debates make demographic changes potent drivers of out-group hostility. The analysis of data from over 50,000 individuals in 22 countries contained in the seventh and eighth waves of the European Social Survey shows that attitudes toward refugees do not simply follow trends in asylum applications. Significantly lowering refugee numbers, hence, did not counter anti-refugee sentiments in the European public. Based on intra-country variation over time, the model rather predicts an increase in negative attitudes during times of considerable demographic shifts. Deeper analyses reveal that this effect is stronger for conservative Europeans as well as for those who distrust EU-politics. Moreover, while a general willingness to help is associated with more openness toward refugees, actually experiencing foreigner inflow diminishes this link, suggesting limitations of humanitarian concerns. Results are stable across various modelling and sample choices and not driven by individual countries. In sum, these findings demonstrate the importance of temporal dynamics for the formation of attitudes toward refugees in contemporary Europe and point to potentially polarizing effects of immigration along ideological lines."
