Thilo Sarrazin, a board member of the Bundesbank, the German central bank, and a controversial former Social Democrat finance minister of the city of Berlin has tipped Germany into a furious debate on immigration and the integration of immigrants – especially Muslims – into society. His new book published in the summer of 2010 – 'Deutschland schafft sich ab', which translates roughly as 'Germany’s getting rid of itself' – is an undisguised attack on the perils of excessive immigration. Its attack on the failure of Muslim migrants to integrate into German society has become the principal topic of political debate in Berlin. It has also embarrassed the Bundesbank and the Social Democratic party. |
