Could be wrong and it is just a co-incidence, but I think not. Note the person representing no religion. http://ow.ly/15TeF3 Not very impressed with the photographer's transparency when it comes to cluttering up the data being presented.

There's a lot of sweating going on when you are covered in metal. You'd be green from head to toe. Probably not very jolly, either. Probably for the best, John.

The first "Gastarbeiter" (guest workers) were offered to come and work in Germany after WWII during the "economic miracle" of the 1960s and 70s when German economy boomed again but, and this is important, there were simply not enough people of working age available! The German government signed treaties with other nations so that foreigners from those nations could move to Germany and get legal work without bureaucratic hassle - Italy (1955), Spain and Greece (1960), Turkey (1961), also Portugal, Yugoslavia (when it still existed), Marocco etc. But in contrast to the "cheap labour" migrating into Germany from East Europe, esp Poland, since the 1990s, the original guest workers were paid so well that many decided to bring their families over. Originally, the foreign workers were not supposed to stay and settle down in Germany permanently, and indeed many didn't, or they kept travelling back and forth. But many young Turks and Kurds from Turkey who live in Germany today are 2nd or even 3rd generation "immigrants", born here as children of guest workers or political asylum seekers, and since January 1, 2000, all Gemrany-born children of parents of Turkish nationality with permanent residence permit automatically get German citizenship. (Before that, people had to chose if they wanted either Turkish or German nationality, because German government does not recognize double citizenship.) As for the publishing company's self-censorship, yeah, it's our German fear of being branded "disrespectful of other cultures" at work again. *sigh* Since when is Turkey part of the West Indies??
