I think that people value "integration" too much. I do not think that cultural differences need to be a problem. Düsseldorf has its own Japantown, with somewhere near 7000 Japanese living together including japanese businesses and street names.Have you considered what will happen when the number of immigrants reaches levels too high for the economy to sustain? Helping a child in a burning house is a good thing but what do you do when there are 10 children orphaned from this incident and everyone has their hands full. Offering asylum to the homeless is the right thing to do but there will be a point when the capacity to accommodate refugees reaches its limits and it will well be there within months. Think about that, if the war drags on for the years and years, you need to think of housing for millions in a short span of time and the prolonged burden on the economy.
I don't really think that there will be no cultural impact on German culture. I have no idea what way it will develop. However, I do think that all of this "we'll get Sharia law in Germany" stuff is complete bollocks.
Most of all, though, I see helping the refugees as an immediate need. If you would be standing in front of a burning building and you see a child still inside, would you not consider going in to save it? The current crisis is a fact, the need for these people for help is a fact. That is the immediate problem we are facing, and it needs a solution. Ideally, the solution would be the removal of the cause for the refugee crisis, but failing that, we must help these people. I do not think that it is right to send someone back to die just because you are afraid that there may be more mosques in Germany.
If i were to ask someone to move some furniture i would ask the guy at the bar eating bar food
