Melech 9,900 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 "According to German newspaper Bild, a Jewish businessman, wearing a kippah, was attacked by refugees from Syria and Afghanistan at a ferry and train station on the island of Puttgarden. The attackers verbally identified him as a ‘Yahud’ (Jew in Arabic). They threw him to the ground, stepped on his hand and took his shoulder bag that contained money, a cellphone and other valuables.and knocked him down before kicking and robbing him. Police later arrested the alleged attackers, a 30-year-old Syrian and 19-year-old Afghani, aboard a train heading to a refugee shelter in Neumünster, Germany. The assailants were released with the requirement that they report for a court hearing when called. While the German-Jewish community has been largely in favor of absorbing Middle Eastern migrants, its leadership has also cautioned that the influx could also prove a catalyst for increased anti-Semitic activity. Police said they called the victim “Jew” in Arabic, threw him to the ground, stepped on his hand and took his shoulder bag that contained money, a cellphone and other valuables. The 30-year-old Syrian and 19-year-old Afghani were arrested aboard a train heading to a refugee shelter in Neumünster, Germany. They reportedly had wanted to travel to Denmark on Friday but were turned back for lack of proper identification papers. German Jewish leader Josef Schuster said recently that while openness to refugees is admirable, care must be taken to defuse and eradicate the anti-Semitic indoctrination that some Arab refugees might have brought with them from their home countries." http://jewishbusinessnews.com/2016/01/12/terrorism-in-germany-muslim-refugees-arrested-in-attack-on-jewish-businessman-wearing-a-kippah/ There are two sites.

Didymus 34,380 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Good ****ing luck with that. European education does very little to even give the slightest bit of attention to dealing with these issues properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,380 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Remembering my own education I think it's clear that the educated European middle class just doesn't engage in antisemitic, racist,... behavior out of a false politeness more than a genuine and deep rooted respect/understanding for minorities. So that's why I think this issue is interesting: if we put these refugees in typical education systems there is just no way that their uncomfortable habits will disappear - for the very simple reason that our education system is more concerned with forcefeeding youngsters with useless brain clutter than with making them admirable individuals.
