RawStory, originally from Agence France-Presse.

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.

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

    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.

    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?

    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.
