Merkel: German multiculturalism 'utterly failed'

My Way News - Merkel: German multiculturalism 'utterly failed'
"Chancellor Angela Merkel's declaration that Germany's attempts to build a multicultural society had 'utterly failed' is feeding a growing debate over how to deal with the millions of foreigners who call the country home.

Merkel told a meeting of young members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union that while immigrants are welcome in Germany, they must learn the language and accept the country's cultural norms - sounding a note heard increasingly across Europe as it battles an economic slump and worries about homegrown terrorism."
