Angela Merkel has rejected calls to change Germany’s refugee policy following a wave of terror attacks in the country.
She said the asylum seekers responsible for deadly attacks in Ansbach and Reutlingen had “shamed the country that welcomed them” but that those fleeing persecution and war had a right to be protected.
The Chancellor vowed not to give to efforts by Isis supporters to frighten Germans into changing their way of life.
“The terrorists want to make us lose sight of what is important to us, break down our cohesion and sense of community as well as inhibiting our way of life, our openness and our willingness take in people who are in need,” she told a news conference after returning from holiday.
“They see hatred and fear between cultures and they see hatred and fear between religions. We stand decisively against that.”
