Sorry, MoHo, it would be a mistake to assume that silence implies disagreement, or that any taking to task of Stuart for his comments is needed or warranted. I fully agree with his analysis and conclusions about the nature of the problem. What the article is about is a frank discussion about social situations that are causing large scale social problems in Europe. But people are having difficulty gaining traction to discuss them because of what is effectively a form of censorship imposed by political correctness that puts constraints on language needed for such a discussion.

Thilo Sarrazin appears to be a thoughtful man who is trying to understand the demographic changes occurring in Germany. He reports what he sees and how it is negatively affecting him and his fellow Germans. Several posters here who are native Germans concur with him and his analysis. Who are you and on what grounds are you qualified to criticize and second guess them? From your posts all I see is your taking armchair pot shots. Your very choice of vocabulary betrays both your immaturity and your political orientation, both of which are revealed with your inability to distinguish abstract principles from the concrete realities experienced by the locals in Germany who are somewhat put off by the situation they are faced with.
