They live here in their own world, eating couscous with lamb's brain salad, watching Al-Jazeera and attending the mosque on Fridays.

Yes, I know there is about 3.000.000 of them in Germany, thats why I wrote some 100.000 even more of them, sounded same like in the article. They've been living in middle of Germany more then 25 years but still using the same habit back to their village and only watch Turkish TV and lived in same areas ect..

As ell as some moved up in many giant German companies with high level, and taking over Germany little bit by little bit (Joke:))
