Eight members of a German far-right group were sentenced to jail Wednesday on terrorism and attempted murder charges for a series of explosives attacks targeting refugees and anti-fascist activists.

Based in Germany's ex-communist east, the so-called "Freital group" had sought to create "a climate of fear" at the height of Germany's refugee and migrant influx in 2015, the court was told.

Its leaders Timo Schulz and Patrick Festing were sentenced to 10 and nine-and-a-half years prison respectively. The other six received custodial terms of between four and eight-and-a-half years.

    People wanting to live in your country is not genocide, an Islamic invasion, or an Indonesian transmigration policy. I think what is most ridiculous about the alt-right position on Islamic immigration is the over-the-top hysteria. Cultural assimilation will work even on Islamic cooties. Just give it time.

    What I think is the actual driving force for the political side of immigration is the demographics of an aging European population. The leaders are looking at that and thinking "We can't afford a welfare state on that." Importing the young workers that Europe is running out of, makes a natural sense.

    Cultural assimilation??? Seriously??? You need to study history.

    All over the world, Islam spreads, wiping out the previous culture and frequently wiping out the people who practiced it.

    I find it amazing that you would suggest otherwise. Why do you cling to this false hope? One might as well imagine, in 1938, that really there is some way to peacefully coexist with Hitler. Are you so afraid of fighting that you'll ignore your impending doom?

      Germany has Turkish and Kurdish immigration since the '60-ies [wikipedia.org].
      Still they have one of the largest consumption of beer per capita [wikipedia.org] in the entire world - if this means they were "wiped out by Islam", it has to be quite a peculiar type of Islam that wiped them out.

      Back at you on that. For example, the Ottomans had been running southeast Europe for quite a while. They never got rid of the heavy Christian presence.

      There's nothing comparable to Nazi Germany's activities on any side. We don't have the annexation of Austria or western Czechoslovakia, millions of people who suddenly found themselves part of a growing German empire. We don't have a massive military buildup. All we have are imaginary dangers in your mind. Sorry, I can't get worked up over that.

    > People wanting to live in your country is not genocide

    If that's all it was there would be no problem. These are not refugees. These are not immigrants. These do not seek to integrate and adopt European culture. These come to settle, establishing colonies at first, and spreading from their colonies.

    Many are unwitting tools. But you must ask yourself who is driving the human trafficking network [independent.co.uk] shovelling them over Europe's borders?

    Nor can you be unaware that mass relocation of large populations has been a tool of war by Islam since an infamous bandit ran amok 1500 years ago. He attacked Europe and his followers continued for centuries using both the sword and overpopulation. Europe has been under seige before from these very same methods and the method of transmigration is used around the world [soylentnews.org]..

    Why do you support the crimes of human trafficking and genocide?

      Actually, they are immigrants (even if not technically refugees). Not any point to the rest of your post as a result. I think you'd be better served to actually figure out what's going on rather than trying to frame it so that Muslims are the bad guys.
