Germany may have witnessed violent anti-refugee protests this week -- but the message from the country's media and celebrities is a loud and determined welcome for people fleeing the horrors of war, AFP reports.
"We're helping," Germany's Bild newspaper splashed in large letters on its front page on Saturday.
The tabloid, which has launched a high-profile charity campaign to assist refugees, added: "The whingers and the xenophobes don't speak in our name."
