Merkel’s folly

Sir — Contrary to Eoghan Harris (Sunday Independent, November 4), recklessness, not “bravery”, is how I’d describe Angela Merkel’s decision to allow 1.5 million mostly male Muslim immigrants into the EU without first consulting the other EU member states.

Muslims flock to the modern, secular world from their dysfunctional countries and many regard our openness as a weakness to be exploited for the spread of Islam.

No Muslim state preaches “multiculturalism”.
