Also, it's not 1% of 1%. We're seeing large-scale effects of Facebook-driven radicalisation of entire cities spilling over onto the street. There is research on this.
But it doesn't change my opinion that Germany is a country which opened itself up to much more immigration than any other country in Europe, and has accommodated the migrants, on the whole, admirably. I think it will come to be seen as the greatest legacy of Germany's leadership.
