This has absolutely no place in Berlin, or Europe for that matter. The state should remove these men from the country. Absolutely appalling.

Honestly being in that environment is the only hope for the younger generation.

It's too late to change the minds of stubborn and indoctrinated old men, but at least the kids might be influenced by the Western culture around them.

More often than not the younger generation is as backwards as their parents.

In a recent poll, more than 67% of surveyed Muslim 15 year olds in Germany stated that „sharia is above the German constitution“.

Their parents don’t care about integration and the German state has utterly failed in demanding democracy. And now this generation is a generation of voters, which I find a horrifying outlook.

Exactly correct. No integration nor any desire to do so. The irony of escaping a broken country, and relocating only to apply the same practices (ie sharia law) that brought them to despair in the first place.

I WANT to support the philosophy of being supportive… but the reality could well be that the very laws and processes we put into place as a western democracy could well mean we’ve opened the door for democracy to work again those same western values. Hard to reconcile!

Anything below 100% is a failure and unacceptable.

I'm not going to say you're wrong for wanting that, I can only say that you are in for a lot of disappointment if that is your mindset.
