Sarrazin a master of provocation

The left-liberal daily Népszabadság writes that with his ideas about Muslim immigrants, German Bundesbank board member Thilo Sarrazin is articulating fears widely prevalent in Germany and Europe: "Not only is Sarrazin a master of provocation he is also very skilful at juggling half-truths and generalisations. ... Nevertheless the problem he addresses is real. Not just in Germany, but also throughout Europe fears abound of minorities whose birth rates are higher than those of the majority populations, and who do not always share the cultural values of their host country. Almost every country has its own minority, be they Turks, Arabs or Gypsies. And every country has or will have its own Sarrazin to torpedo the politically correct, open discourse. It is not a good strategy to suppress problems or sweep them under the carpet. We've got to look reality in the face."
