Re: Multiculturalism - Angela Merkel's view

Mmmmm - seems that the media are using one part of her speech for the headline; AM believes, quite rightly, that people who want to live and work in Germany should speak the language and abide by its laws. However, that does not make her anti-immigrant.

From the OP's link
Quote:
In her speech in Potsdam, however, the chancellor made clear that immigrants were welcome in Germany.

She specifically referred to recent comments by German President Christian Wulff who said that Islam was "part of Germany", like Christianity and Judaism.

Mrs Merkel said: "We should not be a country either which gives the impression to the outside world that those who don't speak German immediately or who were not raised speaking German are not welcome here."
