If you liked Algeria-Egypt Hatefest, You'll love Greece-Germany
Tuesday, March 09 2010 00:18

German Magazine Cover shows the famous Greek sculpture "Venus de Milo" with provocative headline: "A crook in Euro-land."

The Greek magazine Eleftheros replies with the statue of victory in Berlin holding a swastika
03/09/2010 / Washington / Morocco board News Service / The debt crisis has brought about an exchange of “greetings” and “good wishes” between Greece and Germany that would make the Algeria-Egypt hate-Fest green with envy.

The height of arrogance was reached by the German newspaper, Bild -more than 12 million readers per day- with an open letter to the Greek Prime Minister that said "Germany also has large debts but we [the Germans] pay out debts, because we get up early and work all day. "(Understand; the Greeks should start getting up early and work hard)  with a title " Every Greek pays 1,355 Euros in bribes per year "!

That was the last straw for the Greek prime minister who said that not all Greeks have corruption in the genes, and not all Germans have Nazism in theirs "

Members of parliaments from the two countries are extending the fight. The Germans: "Sell your so uninhabited islands to pay your debts!” The Greeks: "Germany also has billions of debt, it should sells Bavaria to the Czech Republic "

Finally, The Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said "We did not ask the German taxpayers to pay for our vacations and our pensions" which lead the German Economy Minister to jump in the Fray and asked the reporters to witness that  "Papandreou said he did not want a penny from us, the German government was not going to give a penny anyway"

Hitler alive and kicking
Germans of today have Hitler in their genes... as a Muslim ,u could strike a conversation freely with any English speaking person without any complex in their tone attitude , face or act... If u try to do the same with a German u ll have to deal with his complex of superiority .The Germans really think that the world owe them something... if so, i wonder why they all outsource themselves in the English Commonwealth countries and try to work , and stay in our countries including the USA.
The German youth have to be reminded all the time that their mentality and attitude were the cause of 20 million people killed by the Nazis including a 5 million jews
Les allemands d aujourd hui ont tous Hitler dans leurs genes...
en effet en tant que musulman , l on peut converser de maniere liberale avec une personne parlant Anglais ,mais si l on essaie de faire pareil avec un Allemand ou une personne de tradition Allemande , le premier obstacle sera son complexe de superiorite , complexe faux. Effectivement si les

to the mohA1s out there, Here is something you will like to hear

Algeria and Morocco are like brothers and sisters.
We have no problem with Algeria, it just this little thing called Sahara,
Boutefllika has a lot of esteem for M6 and vice versa
The sahara problem is between Morocco and the polisario.
Algeria supports freedom because they lived under occupation by the French ( As if Morocco have not)
Moroccans supported Algerians during the soccer game against and Egypt and that shows how much we love and care for each other.
Algerian news media number one concern is Freedom for all people not to go after Morocco.
Algerian government officials led by boutefilka speak against Morocco because we are freedom fighters and not because we do not like Morocco.
The problem is in the hands of the UN even though all attacks on Morocco are directed from Algerian territories.
We support the polisario with Algerian resources because Algerians are well to do and can afford to use a helping hand.

Aren't you now happy that i am not bashing? ad we are after all brothers and sisters?
Such a joke!

Moha,
there is no denial that Bouteflika is a an obstacle to peace in North Africa. He is holding the entire people of North Africa hostage to his backward thinking. Algeria people need to know that their president is refusing to make peace to keep Algeria under the zapatos of the generals. this is not bashing my friend. read and learn.

Facts not dreams
At least, we do not see them burning each others properties and we do not see the German chasing the Greeks in the streets. These people are civilized not like the Algerians kicking the Egyptians out of Algeria as they did to the Moroccans before them.

Let's not compare apples with oranges. Are you going to compare couple of tasteless articles with the blood that was shed in Oum dourman and Cairo?

Trying to show that the Europeans are wilder than the Algerians does not make sense. The Algerian government killed 150000 of their own people in 10 years. they are still killing each other, so please save the non sense.

I am not bashing Algeria, I am only stating the facts that Algerians cannot deny.
