LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Since German Chancellor Angela Merkel's open-door immigration policy began, refugees have swarmed Germany, leading to several ISIS-related terror attacks.
The protestors, who created a Twitter hashtag #Merkelmussweg, blame her policy for the ongoing terror attacks across their nation.
According to Reuters, hundreds also gathered at Berlin's railway station to demand her resignation.
Protestors at both locations shouted "Merkel must go."
One protestor stated: "Merkel destroys Germany. It is not acceptable that we let people in our country without correct checks."
Another explained: "We have a situation with people arriving and it is unclear what their intentions are."
Protestors are so enraged by the violence that accompanied Merkel's policy that an online poster was shared before the demonstration at Berlin's Washington Square.
It contained an image of Merkel wearing a hijab holding up blood-stained hands.
The Sun announced 83 percent of Germans believe immigration is their nation's biggest challenge.
Suicide bombs, shootings and knife attacks have been rife in Germany, as well as an alarming increase of rape and sexual assault incidents.
Meanwhile, Merkel admitted the attacks are "oppressive and depressing" but maintained: "The fact that two men who came to us as refugees are responsible mocked [sic] the country that took them in.
"It mocks the volunteers who have taken so much care of refugees. And it mocks the many other refugees who truly seek protection from war and violence with us, who want to live peacefully.
"Despite the great unease these events inspire, fear can't be the guide for political decisions. It is my deep conviction that we cannot let our way of life be destroyed."
Apparently, Merkel is unable to understand how great the million refugees impact the country and have already disassembled Germany's way of life.
Horst Seehofer, the premier of Bavaria, believes Merkel's attempt to help is unrealistic.
Seehofer, not wanting to step on any toes, delicately stated, "[W]ith the best will...The situation is too problematic." To date, the government's solutions have been "too inadequate" and it is time Merkel's party looks "reality" in the face.
