    A petition on Change .ORG site:

    Dear City council of Munich,

    I am writing this letter to bring to your attention something that I
    and many Muslims believe is unfair and requires attention. I would like to inform you that the Oktoberfest is an Intolerant and Anti-Islamic event. We tried to ignore the event, but there too many Un-Islamic acts done at the Oktoberfest. Such as alcohol consumption, public nudity etc.

    We understand that the Oktoberfest is a yearly German tradition, but we, Muslims, can not tolerate this Un-Islamic event, because it offends us and all Muslims on the earth. We are requesting the immediate cancellation of the upcoming Oktoberfest event.

    We also believe that the Oktoberfest might also offend all the Muslim refugees coming from Syria, Iraq,
    Afghanistan. The cancellation of the Oktoberfest event will help refugees not to forget their Islamic history. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Sincerely,

    Morad Almuradi

    Well. Even though the petition currently only has just under 500 signatures, it worries me. Please, City of Munich, do not cancel Oktoberfest? I luve the beer, the girls, the dancing, the festive atmosphere... and my wife usually stays home for the event :wink:

    Jokes aside, maybe not this year, but 10 years from now Oktoberfest in Munich will not be.

    understanding the pain the Germans and in fact the world may feel due to the loss of the beloved Octoberfest celebration, we would like to propose not to cancel it but to instead replace it with the holy and politically correct month of fasting - RAMADAN

    Looks like the petition already crashed and burned.

    Any way to tell if it was a gag from the start or a serious thing?

    Both... was a trial baloon to gauge the response. Give it two years...and 800,000 "migrants" Merkel has promised to accept.

    Why are school girls wearing revealing clothes anyway? Is it just me that sees a problem with this?

    I get uncomfortable if I'm walking close by any school girl wearing revealing clothes and will take a different route.

    Germany has undergone a pretty rapid shift to the left. They've always been in competition with France for fashion but usually lag behind a touch.
    I had family from the Black Forest region that were quite conservative. A rip in your work jeans and you were considered a heathen. Same folks that wear socks with sandals. Anyone without socks was a heathen.

    Other parts of Germany and younger generations in general seem just the opposite. I had a freiemd tell me most young Germans get home from work and walk around thier homes naked. At least that's the explanation he gave me to explain his german girlfriend sitting on the couch naked. Just a normal german girl. She seemed comfortable enough with it. Him, not so much :)

    Oktoberfest is just one of the many events which have become just another chance to party and get drunk, we don't need that thing.

    A German friend told me that many, if not most, of Germans avoid going to Oktoberfest and leave it for the tourists, mostly the English. They prefer to attend the non-touristy beer festivals in the villages.

    A female German friend who I visit regularly told me that her single friend is such a flirt with all the men and she did not approve. I said to my friend, "that is terrible behaviour", when inside, I was thinking "I wish you were like that to me" :). Yes, my friend lives in the Bavarian area, Tegernsee 40 miles south of Munich

    I have been told that English tourists tend to be awful, they get drunk, vomit, throw things on the ground and sometimes brawl. No wonder oktoberfest is their favourite event.

    By telling your friend that's terrible behavior you've pretty much quarenteed she'll never be like that to you :)
    If there's one thing I've learned by spending lots of time with groups of women its that the scam facade is a lie. Deep down they're horn dogs just like us guys.

    Germany has the same problem many of the Western countries have and that is a declining population rate and need immigrants to keep the economy running.

    If Oktoberfest ever disappears in Germany, it won't in the US.

    I would not doubt that at all. There are beer fests everywhere. My last trip to Germany I got off the plane and was whisked to my family's hometown of about 300 people. The church was having a three day beer fest for gods sake lol. A church? Lol
    The drunk driving laws are pretty tough in Germany. Not many people go driving around looking for trouble when you can party a block away from your house.
