DJ, On the cognitive decline of Germany due to low IQ immigration: lagriffedulion.f2s.com <what Germany got from Turkey in terms of emmigration (and possibly mutatis mutandis France from Maghreb etc) is definitely the lowest quartile of the human capital of Turkey.Turkey per se is lightmiles more "civilized" as Germany may think on the basis of the sample present here. >

Meanwhile, German unemployment and socialist ideas continue to ferment. How long before jingoism and the old style rears its ugly head again? National and socialist are not words which go together nicely in Germany.

The devil finds work for idle hands and the unemployed. kipling.org.uk

THE Camel's hump is an ugly lump
Which well you may see at the Zoo;
But uglier yet is the hump we get
From having too little to do.

Kiddies and grown-ups too-oo-oo,
If we haven't enough to do-oo-oo,
We get the hump-
Cameelious hump-
The hump that is black and blue!

We climb out of bed with a frouzly head,
And a snarly-yarly voice.
We shiver and scowl and we grunt and we growl
At our bath and our boots and our toys;

And there ought to be a corner for me
(And I know' there is one for you)
When we get the hump-
Cameelious hump-
The hump that is black and blue!

The cure for this ill is not to sit still,
Or frowst with a book by the fire;
But to take a large hoe and a shovel also,
And dig till you gently perspire;

And then you will find that the sun and the wind,
And the Djinn of the Garden too,
Have lifted the hump-
The horrible hump-
The hum that is black and blue!

I get it as well as you-oo-oo-
If I haven't enough to do-oo-oo!
We all get hump-
Cameelious hump-

Plus ca change,
Mqurice

Sounds like the "CLash of Civilizations" appears to be a grandiose overreaction many Europeans, they would rather focus on promoting secular viewpoints (like Turkey)

Experince with Turkey for Europeans means first hand knowledge that Muslims are not unreachable extremists.

Of course, hardline US obserevers see 'extreme Islam' as Imperial Japan/ Josef Stalin / Microsoft - bent on world domination at any cost.

Thanks for the helpful post.
