Rede von Merkel auf Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz - Kampf gegen den IS [ist] nur gemeinsam [zu bewältigen] – 18. Februar 2017

Merkel: Europe Must Take More Migrants, Islam Is Not The Cause Of Terrorism

BREITBART.COM: Angela Merkel claims that the European Union still has a “responsibility” to take in more so-called refugees, and pleaded to Islamic governments to help convince people that terrorism has nothing to do with Islam.

The 62-year-old German chancellor began her speech by acknowledging that “the European Union right now is in a very difficult situation due to the result of the British referendum … which is very regrettable”.

While calling on the bloc “to do more to integrate our military capacity”, she also confessed it could not fight terrorism without U.S. president Donald Trump’s assistance. » | Jack Montgomery | Saturday, February 18, 2017

Sicherheitskonferenz: Merkel fordert vom Islam Abgrenzung vom Terrorismus

BERLINER ZEITUNG: München - Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) hat von islamischen Autoritäten eine klare Abgrenzung vom Terrorismus gefordert. Sie erwarte „klare Worte“ über die Abgrenzung des friedlichen Islam vom Terrorismus im Namen des Islam, sagte Merkel am Samstag bei der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz. Dies könnten westliche Politiker nicht so leisten wie islamische Autoritäten. » | dpa, afp, red | Samstag, 18. Februar 2017

Merkel to Security Summit: Islam Is Not the Source of Terror

THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: German chancellor tells Munich conference that Muslim clergy must fight back against ‘false’ reading of their religion

The Islamic faith is not the cause of terrorism, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Saturday, and urged members of the Muslim clergy to fight back against a “false” interpretation of the religion that permits acts of violence to be carried out in its name.

Arguing for Muslim states to cooperate with the rest of the world to stamp out terror, the chancellor told an international security conference in Munich that this is the only way to persuade non-Muslims that the religion is one of peace. » | Times of Israel Staff and Agencies | Saturday, February 18, 2017

Merkel: 'Islam Is Not the Source of Terrorism'

AL JAZEERA: Both Merkel and US Vice President Mike Pence attend key security conference in Munich with Russia high on the agenda.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said Islam is not the source of "terrorism" and that cooperating with predominantly Muslim states in the fight against it is vital.

Merkel, who has been critical of US President Donald Trump's attempt to impose a temporary travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries, was speaking on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference, with US Vice President Mike Pence in the audience.

"I think, those countries, first and foremost have to give a contribution. Because only in this way we would be able to convince people that it is not Islam that is the source of terrorism. But a falsely understood Islam," she said.

"I expect from religious authorities of Islam to find strong language in order to delimitate peaceful Islam from terrorism committed in the name of Islam. We as non-Muslims cannot do this, it should be done by Islamic clergy and authorities," she added. » | Source: Al Jazeera and news agencies | Saturday, February 18, 2017

Don, Bibi, Vlad? Shlomo Ben-Ami, Former Israeli Foreign Minister

As Donald Trump prepares for his meeting with the Israeli prime minister next week, the White House has already moderated many of its earlier pledges. Moving the US embassy to Jerusalem is no longer a priority, while the expansion of settlements, though not openly criticized, has been described as not necessarily helpful. How will Trump's firebrand politics affect the conflagration of the Middle East? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Shlomo Ben-Ami, former foreign minister of Israel and Vice-President of the Toledo International Centre for Peace.

The Stephen Miller Story: From Pestering Latino Students in High School to Drafting Muslim Ban

A new investigation by Univision shows how President Trump’s senior White House policy adviser, 31-year-old Stephen Miller, was well known at his Santa Monica High School for heckling his fellow Hispanic classmates, including telling them to speak only English. He’s now best known as one of the architects behind Trump’s Muslim travel ban. For more, we speak with one of Miller’s former classmates, Cynthia Santiago, the first Latina president of the school’s Associated Student Body and now an immigration defense lawyer who has been helping people impacted by Trump’s travel ban. We also speak with Univision reporter Fernando Peinado. His recent piece is titled "How White House advisor Stephen Miller went from pestering Hispanic students to designing Trump’s immigration policy."

Annihilating Art and Civilization

When a jihadist attacked the Louvre Museum in Paris he intended to do more than kill people. He carried paint bombs. His intent was to destroy the finest art of Western civilization.

Why art? Art that involves animals or humans is forbidden in the Sharia. Art is the work of the kufar and is part of jahiliyya (civilization of ignorance). Islam annihilates a civilization piece by piece and leaves nothing of its native roots. Civilizational jihad destroys the very cultural history of every nation it comes into contact with.

We see the jihadist annihilation of museums and ancient architecture for the same reason. This civilizational war has been this way for 1400 years.

But after years of economic and refugee crises, unpopular decisions, and a growing divide between EU members, Merkel is facing opposition inside her country and across the Atlantic as well. With anti-establishment forces strong across Europe and a new leader in America, how will the German political landscape shape up this year? And with the new president in Germany standing against confrontation with Russia – should we be ready for a policy shift? We ask the former vice-president of the OSCE Assembly, and former state secretary to Germany’s defense minister – Willy Wimmer.

John Sweeney Meets Geert Wilders - BBC Newsnight

Populist parties are growing in strength across Europe - emboldened by both Brexit and Trump. There's Marine Le Pen and the National Front in France of course. But there's a critical election before that: next month, in Holland. Geert Wilders - who leads the anti Muslim Freedom Party is hoping to top the ballot. He wants to take them out of the EU, and to 'de-islamise the Netherlands' with a ban on immigration from Muslim countries. In 2016 he was convicted of inciting discrimination. The Dutch coalition system means it's unlikely Wilders will be crowned Prime Minister. But he could end up leading the largest party which would chill European centrists and boost other populist movements throughout the continent. We sent John Sweeney in pursuit.
