'Eurabia'-friendly policies cometh home to roost
Anti-Semitism or not, maybe there's a problem with the subculture...the neighborhoods.
23-year-old Ilan Halimi was found last Monday tied to a tree, naked, wounded, handcuffed, gagged and covered with burn and cut marks on 80 percent of his body. Authorities found Halimi near railroad tracks in the Essonne region south of Paris a few days after the kidnappers ended contact with Halimi's family; he died en route to a hospital."They acted with indescribable cruelty," the judiciary police chief leading the investigation said. "They kept him naked and tied up for weeks. They cut him and in the end poured flammable liquid on him and set him alight..."
The alleged gang had been behind at least six kidnapping attempts since December, Marin said. He said that none of those would-be victims were Jewish.
Supposedly Europeans don't think too highly of Americans. Well, right back atcha:
Over the years, Euro-Arab collaboration developed at all levels: political, economic, religious and in the transfer of technologies, education, universities, radio, television, press, publishers, and writers unions. This structure became the channel for Arab immigration into Europe, of anti-Americanism, and of Judeophobia, which — linked with a general hatred of the West and its denigration — constituted a pseudo-culture imported from Arab countries. The interpenetration of European and Arab policies determined Europe's relentless anti-Israel policy and its anti-Americanism. This politico-economic edifice, with minute details, is rooted in a multiform European symbiosis with the Arab world.
We don't have so much of that over here. Why? It's hard to say. For one, we aren't so blindly multicultural in the U.S. We are more suspicious of backwards cultures. As an example: Local Muslims tried to buy a local church - from an extremely 'liberal' congregation no less - to turn it into a mosque, and the offer was shot down by the very liberal members.
Muslims? Fine. Believe what you want.
Islam, as an institutional edifice? Not so much.
For another, economically we're a lot better off. When the GDP is growing, the whole 'ghetto' thing loses its salience because reasonable people of all persuasions opt for jobs.
What's your big employment picture, Europe?
For another, I'm guessing a whole lot more of us Americans are armed.
Here in the U.S., in Virginia for sure, anybody and their brother might be carrying a really fine firearm. Having a pistol levels the playing field in so many ways. Consequently, many Americans carry pistols. What ingrates that makes us, huh?
I know one of the chief arguments against the relatively pleasant state of affairs in the U.S. is, the social/economic conditions are still brewing a devils brew. Americans have been lucky so far, but their luck will run out. We'll see, I guess.
But we in the U.S. certainly have a better cultural insulation against Muslim-ghetto-terrorism. You can make all kinds of accusations about America, but you can't argue successfully that we're in the same boat. On this issue, America is better than Europe. There, we've said it. Let the recriminations fly.
