"Germany's multicultural society has utterly failed&quo

Germany got a taste of Islam at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. That is 38 years ago.

Islamic militants thought nothing about coming into Germany to do wicked deeds.

You're comparing apples with oranges now. The Munich Massacre wasn't motivated by Islam nor did the hostage-takers have the intention to harm German civilians. You might as well claim the IRA worked together with the Ku-Klux clan because their members were Caucasian Christians.

If all +50 million Muslims in Europe were all motivated fanatics like the Taliban and Al-Qaeda then we'd have quite a problem on our hands.

I think you're missing his point!
Hes talking about making english the official language of this USA (not the whole planet).
The reason being that English ISNT winning- or atleast is precieved to be being put on the retreat by Spanish ( in THIS country). And in general americans feel put upon to accomdate not only spanish speakers but many other immigrant language groups- instead of them jumping over hoops for us.

However you're right that- ironically just as Americans are starting to feel beleagured by the onslaught of Spanish in North America Europeans are getting defensive against English- notalby the Germans and French ( even the brits get defensive about their version of English).
Someone should point out to the Germans and French that though English may be the planets most invasive language it is also the worlds most invadED language.

English has a greater proportion words borrowed from foreign languages than any other.
Thus the whole world is being taken over by a language- that the whole world participated in creating.
So to succumb to English is to succumb to yourself.

Someone should explain to our pisans in Europe that they should not feel under siege. And that they should be simpatico with us despite the fact that we are blitzing them with our speach. We can reach a tete-a-tete. So dont be schmucks ( Yiddish) and accept the fact that English is the new lingua franca.

Haha! I love paragraphs phrased like this.

You are right of course in that English is vigorous and healthy because it is inclusive to adaptation. This is my primary argument for the merits of multi-lingual countries. Quality of life(and society) is enhanced by a larger tool box.
