Your comments about this article:
1.In this turkish family,german is his first mother language, therefore why his turkish is broken, because turkish is his first foreign language. German government should be pround of this success. If so, why this family rejected to let his son become german citizen? At least it is much more convenience when he conducted any criminal, and the accommodation in german prison should be much better than turkish jail.
2.Turkish is his first mother language, but the whole family and all his turkish social contact speak only broken turkish. It means the turkish language spoke by german turks are different from turks in turkey. And the german version turkish is broken compare with standard turkish in turkey. It sounds more ridiculous. Most of the turks moved to Germany since 60s, there is no reason their language will be changed over such short term.
3.This turk is not only illiterated , but also idiot (low IQ), so it can explain why his mother language turkish is broken, so like his german. He inherited this stupidity from his parents, because they did not figure out the best interests for him and convince him become german after he born till 18 yrs old.
Other than this, I guess the judge know all the possibilities, what is the best torture for this criminal? What is the best solution for german government? If the judge can find some ways, the government need not to afford any cost, when this turk live in german jail, and the further criminal impact from him can be 100% excluded....why not expell him back to Turkey. Now the judge should only care the best interests of german society rather than a foreign passport holder. If this turk suffered in his own motherland,it is not the fault of Germany, he has enough chances before, but he lost them....why he should take advantage of everything and finally let german pay for that.
who say Germany belongs to German. Germany belongs to everybody, if u cant accept that, please leave Germany. Go to North pole and live with polar bear.
Germany doesnt BELONG to Germans. Not necessarily. Although yes Germans belong in Germany but as we foreigners come to Germany and find it as our home and respect the laws here..you are allowed to do that too. Be open. Have a big heart =)
Anyway, on the topic, i think the court's decision was good.
Having said that I do agree with the courts decision if he doesn't have German natioanality, it is a risk he took breaking the law of the land which he considered didn't belong to.
On another note, when people talk of parasites sitting on their ass and claim benefits, of all the foreigners that I know they all work and pay taxes for many Germans to sit on their ass and claim benefits. The fact that these real German parasites can vote in the national election yet the tax paying European foreign nationals can't is the biggest discriminatory factor that hinders a sense of belonging.
of causing bodily harm, > than once.)
Sorry I am an American and we have our own immigration problems. but I hope this comment was from non native of Germany. You don't let thieves rob your home to let "nature takes it course" Why would you let people flood in and colonize your country. Don't you understand your position you will be in when you are not the majority anymore? Who will save you?You are an Infidel and less than human to alot of these people you are letting in .At least we are letting in mostly Christians
Europe needs to wake up to the very serious situation it is in.
LOL The USA is a country built on immigration, unless you are a native Indian do you see the irony? :-D
As a Christian or secular European, can you freely move to a Moslem country and claim it as your country? Not a chance.
Wake up before it's too late because multiculturalism does not work, this advise come to you Germans from Southern Africa.
