Originally from my facebook post:
"No offense to Germans, we all know this guy's just being an idiot ! He just published his anti-immigration book Deutschland schafft sich ab ("Germany Does Away With Itself" or "Germany Abolishes Itself" according to wikipedia). I personally agree on the part that immigrants would be expected to appreciate and respect the other country's culture, history, and people and hopefully integrate enough to fit in. But on the other hand you shouldn't expect them to just through away their own values and certainly you can't label everyone by their nationality/race/religion ... Like this guy says we in the middle east are not educated ! That's crap ! Most of my friends and I are doing PhD now. Good and bad are everywhere u can't label people by nationality..."

Well all I'm saying is as we are all HUMAN, we should act more civilized and humanly about this matter. We don't burn down or bomb religious places (mosques churches ...) We don't look down to someone because they're not White, Black, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Man, Woman, Thin, Smart, Well educated, Rich, from or Country or Continent, Blond, Brunet, Red-head, Elegant, with great Job, ....
And certainly we have way more important issues like stopping the wars, global health, child labor, global warming, environment, pollution, toxins ... to worry about.

Yeah earth is flooding, Nature is dying, soon enough there would be nothing left for us and other living beings on earth to eat, drink, breath, and live. And hey lets just gather all together and fight ! Doesn't matter over a team, an ideal, a country , a religion, a race... Right?! Let's just fight. Because as long as we just pick up our stupid fights and kill or abandon each others doesn't matter what we are fighting for in the first place.
So about that crazy guy, all I say is hey there are many wrong doers which lead to people having to leave their beloved homeland and try to survive in another country. What if instead of being such jerks on both sides, we start "respecting" the culture and history and not (at least intentionally) breaking the substantial rules and laws of the host land, and also not to smash the newcomers heads by our stupid prejudices. Yeah Indians are everywhere in England since they've been colonized by them, also Algerians in France, and Moroccans in Spain and ... countries like US and Canada just have been formed from these newcomers few centuries ago. The same way Americans and NATIVE Americans fought each other, people like Sarrazin are afraid their gonna be kicked from their homeland !
So if once and for all, all stop being stupid, offending each others' believes, cultures, ideals, values, and .... stop MURDERING, butchering, bombing, raping, torturing, imprisoning each other .... And start acting as human, and take responsibility for all the problems mistakes and damaging and trashing to the Earth and others... We still might have a chance.
So neither Sarrazin nor the ones who "disrespect" the host-land's culture, laws, and values are right. Because none ever did try to act as matured adults and stop being such idiots.
One of my great friends is the total opposite of me in believes and life style, but the ground rule of "mutual" understanding and respect got us stay friends for long, and never having a bad fight or getting offended or hurt by each other. It IS all MUTUAL. That's all !
), but nothing can lessen the value and great effect of both hosts' performance. There were even sometimes which the whole ceremony was in the great danger of being canceled or ruined (especially in the case of some unavoidable confusions), but they did a remarkable job in fixing everything which was more than hard to be done in a LIVE performance.
