The upcoming election will tell whether this 11th hour conversion to sanity and to listening to ordinary Germans will work to get Chancellor Merkel a 4th term as German leader.

But better late than never so it is encouraging that she is speaking out clearly against sharia law, the full head covering of Muslim women and other means by which some Muslims use the tolerance and openness of western liberal democracies like Germany against them to promote separate Islamic ghettos, to thumb their noses at the country and the people who gave them refuge, and to convert, radicalize and mobilize potential terrorists.
