German Chancellor Angela Merkel has stated that Germany's approach to toleration of multiculturalism has failed. Merkel noted that while it is important to accept immigrants into Germany, the policy of Germans coexisting happily with others of distinct culture is failing. Merkel is demanding that immigrants learn German, attend German schools and assimilate into society rather than existing in separate groups. The comments are believed to be targeted at Germany's Muslim population, which stands at 4 million and is the largest in Western Europe. Seems to be a clash of civilizations here.
