Two German feminists debate Cologne in Der Spiegel

[Dems to Win]

3. An article from a Muslim woman in Germany

It can kind of be summed up as "Welcome to My World, women of Germany"

It's worth reading. There are also some good comments below. Here's one:

It is very telling that in large parts of the Muslim world the men matter and the women simply don't. The author alludes to this when she writes: "His word counts; mine, as a woman, doesn't."

Is it wrong of me to say that I don't want this kind of backwards attitude imported to a free-thinking Europe where, for the most part, men and women are treated as and considered to be equals? Is it wrong of me to enjoy living in a country where mutual respect of the sexes is an unwritten, intrinsic part of the culture? And, is it wrong of me to admit that I have serious fears that certain attitudes and opinions counter to the Western world are a real threat to my own personal safety and security?

I am livid that the value and worth of the women in Germany were apparently never taken into consideration when the gates were opened to at least 700,000 unknown men from a completely different world than ours, who are now having their way with the place.

Long-standing cultural practices and norms, which run counter to and have nothing but anger and contempt for Western values, will not simply be snuffed out by a few integration classes set up by a local Volkshochschule or church.

Angela Merkel has taken a relatively safe Germany and turned it into a place that is now very dangerous, and we will never be able to forgive her for that.

I wish there was a feminist movement standing in solidarity with this woman.

I'm thinking the German politicians are going to get one hell of a wake up call in a couple of months, when there are regional elections in 3 states in Germany. Polls show that AfD, the anti-Euro, anti-immigration party will get about 10% of the vote. I'll go on record here that I think people aren't being honest with pollsters, and it will be much higher. I wouldn't be surprised to see them get 50% of the vote, or even more.
