Germany needed workers. Turks needed work .?
Only 7,000 ''gastarbeiter," as they were called, arrived that first year, a curiosity in a country where non-European faces were rare. Press flashbulbs popped. Politicians made speeches of welcome. Ordinary Germans watched, bemused.
Nobody grasped that the country -- and the continent, because neighboring nations soon undertook similar experiments -- was on the brink of a transformation whose effects are still reverberating across Europe.
In Berlin, which today ranks as the largest ''Turkish" city outside Turkey, falafel stands and kebab joints far outnumber eateries offering schnitzel. In the Dutch city of Rotterdam, Islamic calls to prayer are as common as church chimes. In the raw-knuckled housing projects ringing Paris, graffiti are more likely to be scrawled in Arabic than in the language of Voltaire.
This is the future of America ...anyone paying attention ?
Answer:
well once again honey looks like you proved my point for me .it's quite simple really people like you think that Mexicans with over run this country and it's culture
mind you it's exactly what ppl said when :the Irish,the Chinese,the Italians,and the Jews came over
and don't tell me that they were all legal
the laws were a lot looser back then
edit: well honey I can't say that I'm sorry my educated answer offended you, and may I add that's the 1st time I've heard a non-conservative being called close minded
We don't have to look to Europe to see that point.
We've even been exporting graffitti to Iraq.
Lady, guess what? People will always migrate for better opportunities, your ancestors did as well..Get used it it.There is no such thing as a "pure" country..Try have an open mind, not all darked skinned people are evil.
Wow, you're writing "news" and just to let you know, Turkey is now an European country so therefore their faces are European, don't you think? I know you said 1961 which back then indeed was part of Asia. "You got that right" which is amazing due to the level of ignorance of your questions, or racist attacks more than questions I would say. Did you know you're wasting points by asking these "questions"? But to answer your question of "Anyone paying attention? Yes, but we see interracial socialization as something natural and the fact that you are so disturbed by it is what seems abnormal for someone living in 2007.
And hence, Eurabia. The term of derision invented to describe terrified Europeans bowing to the whims of Islamofascists. Think Spain after the train bombings.
I love the Turkish, they're experiencing a similar sentiment Mexicans get here in the States by the myopic crowd.
