'The concentration camps - er, sorry, refugee holding centers - are that way.' AfD leader Björn Höcke
Germany's hard-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) are now the third most popular party in the country, according to a poll released on Tuesday.
In a sign of the sharp rise of the far-right in Germany over recent weeks,
the INSA survey gave the AfD 10.5 percent of the vote if an election were to be held tomorrow - meaning they leapfrogged the Green Party and Die Linke (Left party).
The AfD was founded in 2013 as a Eurosceptic group, critical of the Euro currency and bailouts, but after an internal party feud in which its founder was deposed earlier in 2015, it has focused on criticizing the government's immigration policies.
Katja Kipping, chairwoman of Die Linke, told The Local that the Christian Social Union (CSU), a junior party in Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition, was to blame for the rise of the AfD, accusing their leadership of making "xenophobic slogans socially acceptable."
The CSU, which are the single largest party in Bavaria, Germany's wealthiest and southern most state, have in recent weeks called for the erection of border fences to stem the flow of refugees arriving in Germany.
Comment: When 9/11 happened, we had some idea that this was coming. But we never imagined it could happen this fast.
The last time around, the fascist totalitarianism lasted a relatively short period of time, was confined to only a part of Europe, and had as the subject of its 'final solution' a relatively tiny ethnic/religious group.
This time around, we're looking at GLOBAL total war against an ethnic/religious group that numbers 1 billion. At the rate things are degenerating, we could, within a few short years, be looking at concentration camps for Muslims all over the world.
