Anti-refugee German Organisations are using her mocked posters in Burka in demonstrations

The German Chancellor Angela Merkel is facing a fierce backlash over her open-door immigration policy after it emerged that two recent terror attacks and a third killing were carried out by men who entered the country as refugees. Pediga and its clone anti-refugee organisation are trying to transform  the outrage of people into an anti-Merkel campaign. But the iron lady has ruled out the migrant policy reversal despite severe pressure not only from the right-wing opposition but also from her own influential political allies like Bavarian premier Horst Seehofer. 

There are talks of a Muslim Angela Merkel

Several  images of Angela Merkel wearing a traditional Islamic headscarf has caused controversy in Germany as anti-immigrant Neo-nazi Pediga is using them in demonstrations against Merkel. There are also talks of a Muslim Merkel. More than 5,000 protested in Berlin and thousands more throughout Germany over the immigration issue that many have blamed for four brutal terrorist attacks that left 13 dead over the last month. It should be noted that three out of four attacks that have rattled German nation took place in Bavaria where the premier Seehofer was already a fierce opponent of Merkel's open door refugee policy. Seehofer has been the fieriest opponent of Merkel's migrant stance.  In the past he has expressed a wish to sue Merkel over her migrant policy.

Is it also a coincidence that asylum seekers suddenly got mad and began violent attacks despite Merkel's welcoming attitude towards refugees and the guarantees that they would get asylum? In the past, he also sent a busload of refugees back to Berlin to show his annoyance over refugee issue. Do Syrian refugees has any motive to attack Germany? Even a child can understand that they do have every reason to cooperate with the German government and civil administration.  

And is it a coincidence that these incidents took place at a time when Angela Merkel's popularity increased to a record height in last two years due to Brexit. And is it also a coincidence that these incidents took place right before September elections?

Cui Bono (for whose benefit) is a key forensic question in legal and police investigation: finding out who has a motive for a crime by carefully examining who will benefit the most. Who is actually profiting from these terror attacks? Let's see who is taking advantage of these attacks. The winner in this sport seems to be Merkel's political rival and the anti-refugee organisations. The prospects of false flag operations can not be ignored.

This Neo-Nazi attitude of political Right will drag Germany once again in hot waters. What Germans need to understand is that Merkel's refugee policy is not a charity, it is an investment in Germany's future. Merkel's open door migrant policy is backed with intensive research whose finding that immigration (even unskilled) will boost German economy by eliminating the bottleneck in the labour supply and by replacing the ageing population by youth. 

Europe desperately needs more young people to run its health services, populate its rural areas and look after its elderly because, increasingly, its societies are no longer self-sustaining. Germany has the lowest birthrate in the world. Decline in population is a direct threat to economic growth as well as pensions, healthcare and social services. 

European leader talk about migrant crises where they should inform their citizens about population crises. Right wing parties scare Europeans that if migration, European culture will cease to exist where they should tell them that if migration ceased, Europe will cease to exist. Refugees are crucial for Europe's survival. They may be a short term burden but a long term asset.
