More important for what and whom? The last important thing NATO did was creation of two Moslem states on the Balkans and arming Georgia to the teeth so that it could safely attack South Osetia.

And who is going to pay for it ? Will Germany accept a few more million Turks waiting impatiently to join their happier countrymen who managed to flee Turkish poverty and abuse the German hospitality? Giving any government imaginary arguments for anything by sacrificing all the tangible and real assets and advantages is the worst imaginable policy. It's suicidal. Turks were once invited to Europe. It happened in the 14th century and the generous predecessor of the EU was called John Cantakuzenus - an upstart emperor. Within a few decades after this "invitation" the country whose emperor he desperately tried to become by inviting the Turks existed no more. The kind "guests" destroyed it.

Even now c. 3-4 mln Turks in Germany who notoriously don't integrate serve as the Fifth Column of Turkish/Islamist Movement in Europe. They fill German prisons, bring savage customs like blood feud, hijab and other notorious Moslem "values". What is even more disquieting is that this Turkish Fifth Column excellently serves the Turkish intelligence , subversive and espionage activities in Germany. So what we need would be to give the Turks more opportunities to do more harm and work harder against us on our own territory ?

Surely, they expect to come to and profit from European Eldorado. But it would be quite contrary and ruinous to all the interests and the very existence of Europeans as free people. Turkish Islam , even wearing a Kemalist hijab, is as hostile to our freedom as Pakistani or Saudi Islam. We have to choose. And only madness and treason can prompt the idea of inviting the Turks again into Europe.
