Does the right-wing violence pose a significant threat to democracy and stability in Germany?
Article Abstract:
Germany is beset with frequent incidents of violence on foreigners caused by right-wing extremists. Some view the social crisis as a serious threat since the right-wing parties seem to be gaining strength and their violent activities increasing. However, others do not give the violent incidents any major significance since they are sporadic and badly organized. Germany is not likelyto relapse into Nazism since most Germans do not approve of the violence. Hitler's former party and ideology can no longer find a solid footing in modernGermany.

Violence in Germany
Article Abstract:
The German government was forced into taking action against right-wing extremists by the Nov 1992 firebomb incident which killed three Turks in Molln, Germany. Germany has already been sieged with mounting violence on foreigners, but the government appeared lax. In theirsearch for a solution, the government has decided to focus on reassessing the asylum law. The move was criticized since Germany failed to recognize the serious crimes committed against foreigners. Moreover, changing the asylum law indirectly cast the blame on foreigners.
