You should acknowledge that the Turks in Germany, for the most part, are not the most educated part of your nation's populace.

They mostly came to Germany from Eastern Anatolia and were a nuisance to the Turkish government in the 1950s, which is why they expedited their relocation to Germany. The Turkish government didn't want these people in their own country!

What you're saying about how nice a place Turkey, and Istanbul in particular, is, may have its merits. I can't say because I've never been there. But why is it that the Turks are just about the only ethnic group in Germany that is experiencing a cultural divide with the rest of the population (not just ethnic Germans but everybody else in Germany)?

I'll tell you why. They had a poll among (ethnic) Turkish university students in Germany, and it was found that a third of them (!) condoned honor killings. And that's the university students! Most Turks in Germany are far from that level of education. Why is it that Turkish parents still teach their children how bad of a society we are and that they should not mingle with us?

How can we integrate someone who doesn't want to be integrated? The hostility the Turks are experiencing in Germany is mostly of their own making. Germans are not hostile toward Italians, Spaniards, Greeks, really just about anybody, the way they are toward the Turks. Doesn't that make you think? How would you feel if the least educated part of the Ruhr valley population mass-immigrated to Turkey, never learned a word of Turkish in 40 years and on top of that taught their children how evil Turkish society was?

I'm sure you'd be really welcoming toward them, now would you?
