GERMANY'S CHILLING FUTURE – AT 8:25 A.M. ET:   Germany is a critical member of the Western alliance.  But will that continue, given the flooding of the country with immigrants who may or may not share Western values?  The future doesn't look particularly bright.  From Breitbart: 

A German political expert has warned that a successful Islamic political party is not a far off thought given Germany’s rapidly changing demographics. In an interview with the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung newspaper, Prof. Jürgen W. Falter, who specialises in political extremism, noted that Chancellor Angela Merkel’s position on migration may soon change, claiming “Pandora’s box is opened too far”.

Prof. Falter said: “I do not think that the position of Mrs Merkel, with time, will be held. Her words are rowing forward, but below the surface, back already… certainly this has something to do with the fact she sees that she has to get the genie back in the bottle… a Pandora’s box is opened too far.

“[Her migration policy] was probably not meant the way it has arrived. But it sounded like an invitation to the entire world, unlimited refugees are welcome.”

His views on the rise of the Alternative fur Deutschland are also worthy of note, claiming that it was destined to become a small, regional party before the migrant crisis, but that now, it can flourish without really doing much at all.

And he warned about the rise of an Islamic political party in Germany – small versions of which may already have been witnessed elsewhere in Europe, such as with Tower Hamlets First in East London, and the Respect Party in Bradford, both in the United Kingdom.

He posits that despite Mrs. Merkel’s kind welcoming of many Muslims, it is unlikely they would vote for a party with the word “Christian” in its name.

“There’s doubt, first of all against the [Christian Democratic] Union (CDU), because it still bears “Christian” in its title. Even reduced to their basics, the CDU and CSU [Christian Social Union] are relatively strong names. This is naturally, for devout Muslims, not the party of first choice.

COMMENT:  We don't wish to condemn all Muslims.  That would be absurd.  But recent history shows that these immigrant masses often contain a certain number of extremists who have little interest in accepting the culture of their new country. 

The Western alliance, including NATO, is based on certain shared values.   If those values collapse, or are seriously compromised, the mechanism of Western freedom is bound to collapse with it.  As Ronald Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream."  So true.
