The red in our quote could be changed from "is" to "was". They're changing, from the top down.
Any sources for that that hold up water?
Also, if Turks are so tolerant, why do the Polizei dare not to go into the Turkish Ghetto's in Berlin?
I know, what I say won't impress you, because you apparently know much more about Germany than any German does, and more than I do, although I've been living here for decades ...
But for what it's worth, as a Berlin citizen, I want to tell you that I think this statement hardly is true. First, there is no thing as a "Turkish Ghetto" in Berlin. You have a few quarters where the number of Turkish-stemming migrants is higher than in others, and in some of these places, Turkish shops and businesses seem to dominate the streetscape. Yet, they are hardly "ghettos". There are also still a large number of native Germans living in these quarters. Many of them are even famous quarters for students and young Germans with alternative lifestyle, and "hip" cafés, alternative clubs and vivid youth cuture is just as prominent there, as Turkish life.
Then, I have never (and I really mean: absolutely never, not one single time) heard that "German policement are afraid" of going to these places. On the contrary, if at all, there are complains that there is too much crime there and the police has to go there way too often (and actually does it). Maybe you are confusing Berlin in Germany with some other place you've heard about. I can't speak for the situation in Paris, France, for example, and I was told the "ghettoization" is much, much worse there than here in Berlin.
I want to assure you, with my best knowledge and first hand experience, the situation in Berlin is by far not as bad as some hysterics claim it is. I've often been even to those quarters which have a bad reputation and crime problems, also at night (between 12 and 2am), and while I met many young people (both migrants and natives) passing by, I have never been threatened, attacked or robbed. (Although once, a guy offered to sell me weed.) Now I don't know that first hand, but I think the degree of "ghetthoization" and subsequent problems with general and gang violence is much worse in many American metropolitan regions (at least that's what you hear. Not sure if it's true).
Why is there Sharia law being carried out in these ghettos, ...
LOL, that would be new to me.
I can assure you, Sharia law is not carried out anywhere in Germany.
...girls murdered by their families because they became westernized?
That sometimes happens, and it is indeed one of the problems that still need to be solved, when it comes to integration of migrants.
But when you look deeper into the issue, you will find that 1) this does not happen by far that often that is allows generalizations about Muslim immigrants in general (just like occasional murders on abortion doctors, or assaults on homosexuals doesn't allow the conclusion that Christians in general support these actions), and 2) these actions are strictly opposed on condemned by a majority of immigrants as well. Also, you will find that 3) that these "honor killings" have not much to do with Muslim religion, and is indeed most strictly opposed by those Muslims who are most religious, because it's a direct violation of Quranic rules. It's rather a problem of a backwards, pre-modern patriarchalistic tradition prevalent among many immigrants, which they don't have because of their religion, but despite it.
This backward authoritarian tradition of many immigrants (who often happen to be Muslim) indeed is a problem that does exist and needs to be solved. That's why we need dialogue and clear rules. This debate already exists and there are many participants, including religious Muslims who fight think kind of tradition based on their religious believes (much like religious Muslim clerics are strong fighters against the tradition of female mutilation in countries like Egypt, for example).
Look, I understand where you are coming from, and that you are suspicious towards Muslims and Islam. That's normal. People tend to generalize and fear what they don't know. But I think you are jumping way too quickly to way too broad assumptions and conclusions. You should take the time, just as I did, to address Muslim immigrants here (you also find many online, if none are living in your environment), to talk with them about these problems, to hear their opinions. Like this, you learn to know them better and you will see that "the Muslims" or "the Muslim immigrants" are by far not such a homogenous block as you seem to think it is, that there are very significant differences between subgroups, that they too have a variety of opinions and attitudes towards their religion.
You really should take this effort.
Why do they not assimilate if they are so open? After so many years... and it isn't getting better.
Is it?
What makes you think "they" don't do that?
In fact, two of my friends are children of Muslim immigrants and they couldn't be more assimilated (one of them is atheist, the other Muslim, but rather secular). So apparently, some of them do.
But you are right, it's true that some of them do not, or many don't do it enough, and that is indeed a problem. It's also not just a cultural problem, but (maybe even moreso) a social problem. Lack of willingness or capacity to adoption on the side of immigrants plays just as much a role here, as racism and a lack of providing opportunities from the side of natives does. These problems need to be soberly discussed, and I agree they must not be ignored. But this debate must be remain respectful, and one-sidedly attaching blame to one side and painting it with a broad brush of resentment won't help matters (it even aggravates the problem).
I'll say it's not all Turks... I have met some nice folks, and they make one hell of a good Doener.
Scharf bitte.
That's the right attitude!
