Godless people

I'd say, particularly in light of the last paragraph, the tragedy hasn't been averted in German.

Smoke bomb thrown into Jewish kindergarten in Berlin , European Jewish Press: A tragedy was avoided on Sunday after a smoke bomb, thrown through a window of a Jewish kindergarten in Berlin, failed to ignite.

However, the school, located in a northwest neighbourhood of the German capital, was not spared by the spray painting of swastikas, other Nazi symbols and anti-Semitic phrases, such as “Auschwitz,” “Juden Raus” (Jews, get out) and “Sieg Heil”, on its outer walls, as well as on toys that had been lying around in the school’s playground.

A police spokesman said the attack did not cause serious damage or endanger children or staff at the school.

Berlin’s Interior Minister Ehrhart Körting condemned the attack as a "cowardly act" and called it “a particularly brutal one…one that had taken anti-Semitic acts to a new dimension”. ...

Because the location had only been considered as temporary, the property was not secured in the same way that other Jewish buildings.

Instead of round-the-clock police protection, security guards came only in hourly intervals.

This, for me, is an example of a telling detail that illustrates how deeply anti-Semitic Europe still is, despite the best efforts of many Europeans to change their society.

I mean, my gosh--what kind of a country is it when a minority group needs round-the-clock police protection?!

Is it any wonder that Muslims living in Europe fear they'll never live normal lives there?
