I do not have  much sympathy left for any  adherents of the “Religion of Peace” even if they are innocent. Not that it matters how I feel. What I do know is that this changes the fate of Europe and the fate of all refugees dramatically.

Angela Merkel , once a popular chancellor ,will go into history as a disgraceful failure.
