I'll wager they had to scratch their heads in amazement and were completely confused as to what happened. Merkel doesn't have to worry though. She makes rare public appearances and when she does go out she's surrounded by a troop of armed military.
Americans must get used to seeing mosques here and there, and muslims will be america's new workers, chefs, taxi drivers, judges, airport inspectors, nuclear plants operators, policemen,etc. it's better not to provoke Muslims. And who the hell wants them to assimilate into peaceful neighborhoods?
