Excerpt:
Immigrants are making Germany 'dumber', according to a board member of the country's central bank.
Thilo Sarrazin claimed the 'limited education' of immigrants - coupled with their high birth rate - meant Germans 'are becoming dumber in a simple way'.
He said: 'There's a difference in the reproduction of population groups with varying intelligence.'
It is not the first time the 65-year-old member of the Bundesbank has caused controversy since he joined last year.
