- The new law applies
only to legitimate asylum seekers, not to the hundreds of thousands of
economic migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East who have entered
Germany illegally by posing as asylum seekers.
- Of the more than
1.1 million migrants who arrived in Germany in 2015, only 476,649 have
applied for asylum. Many of the rest have gone underground and are
sustaining themselves through petty crime and drug dealing.
- Nearly half (49%)
of the migrants in Germany whose asylum applications were rejected
during the past two years have not left the country, according to leaked
government data.
- "Regaining
control of our borders is an existential issue for our culture and the
survival of our society." — Thilo Sarrazin, renowned German central
banker and a former member of the Social Democrats.
Thilo Sarrazin (left), a renowned German central banker
and a former member of the Social Democrats (SPD), accuses Chancellor Angela
Merkel (right) of "no longer being concerned about the interests of
Germans and the future of their nation, the protection of their living
environment and their cultural identity." Sarrazin concludes:
"Regaining control of our borders is an existential issue for our
culture and the survival of our society."
After months of haggling, Germany's coalition government has agreed on a
new "Integration Law" aimed at regulating the rights and
responsibilities of asylum seekers in Germany.
The main focus of the law is to encourage refugees to learn enough
German to be able to find a job and help pay for their living expenses.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has hailed the new law as a
"milestone," and Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel says it represents
a "true paradigm shift in Germany."
Critics counter that the new law is a largely symbolic measure directed
at reassuring German voters and blunting the rise of the anti-immigration
Alternative for Germany party.

- In Pakistan, a
Muslim suicide bomber murdered 74 people -- mostly Christians -- and
injured nearly 400 more, on Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016.
- The U.S. and British
governments knew the exact location of many of the Nigerian Christian
girls captured by Boko Haram, but failed to launch a rescue mission,
according to Andrew Pocock, the former British high commissioner to
Nigeria.
- In Uganda, Amina
Napiya's 13-year-old daughter was raped while fetching firewood near
their home. The rapist told the girl, "this is the second warning
to your mother for disgracing the faith of the Muslims." Napiya, a
42-year-old widow, converted to Christianity in 2014.
- Approximately 700
Christian girls are kidnapped and forced into Islamic marriages every
year in Pakistan.

On Easter Sunday in Pakistan, March 27, a suicide bombing took place
near the children's rides of a public park, where Christians were known to be
celebrating the resurrection of their Lord. At least 74 people — mostly women
and children — were killed and nearly 400 injured. "There was human
flesh on the walls of our house," a witness recalled.
"We claim responsibility for the attack on Christians as they were
celebrating Easter," said a group affiliated with the Taliban. In a
media statement, the group's spokesman said it had "deliberately
targeted the Christian community." "We had been waiting for this
occasion," he said.

- The Middle East has
been inhabited by Jews and then Christians for nearly three thousand
years; until the seventh century, Muslims did not even exist.
- Many Christians in
Arab countries and in Palestinian Authority (PA), without a state or
anyone else to support them, are still behaving as dhimmis,
paying lip service to Muslim Arab "lords" in exchange for
protection in their original homelands.
- The Palestinians
plan activities, pay salaries and fund anti-Israeli Christian dhimmi
organizations, in order to make Western Christians believe in the
"Palestinian cause" -- by which they mean the establishment of
another Arab-Islamic dictatorship state with no human rights in it.
- Coexistence is not
the issue for Christians here, but rather fear for their own existence
-- based on the ruthless lack of freedom under the PA, as in all Arab
states.
Rami Ayyad, a Christian bookseller in Gaza, was murdered
by Islamic extremists because he refused to close his bookshop.
Christians in Holy Land, Judea and Samaria -- what today is called the
West Bank or the Palestinian Authority (PA) -- are, with the Jews and
assorted Arabs, the indigenous people of the land. The region has been
inhabited by Jews and then Christians for nearly three thousand years; until
the seventh century, Muslims did not even exist.
After the conquest of Jerusalem by Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula in
637 AD, the Jews and early followers of Christianity were forced either to
convert to Islam or accept the rule of sharia (Islamic religious law) under
the Islamic Caliphate, with its dhimmi laws designed to remind you
that you are inferior. In Islam, dhimmis are non-Muslims -- and
therefore second-class, barely tolerated residents -- who live under
separate, harsher, laws and have to pay protection money (a "tax" called
the jizya) to safeguard their lives and property.
