"It is foolish to think that some element of Muslim immigrants to the West won’t share this worldview and act on it — to our great regret."

"Some of the details were distinctive — an idyllic spot on the Pacific Ocean instantly turned into a killing field; a father-son terror squad — but the basic picture of radicalized Muslim immigrants targeting a gathering of Jews was drearily familiar.
"These events follow the same pattern because the fundamentalist version of Islam is, at its root, hostile to Jews.
"Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that there was a refugee flow of Unitarians, and some proportion of those Unitarians were antagonistic to traditional Christians — such that they vandalized their businesses, harassed them in the streets, and launched massive protests in favor of overseas Unitarian terror groups.
"In that case, we’d obviously cast a skeptical eye on Unitarian immigration.
"Mainstream political parties across the West that have presided over this open-handed policy are, understandably, losing ground to restrictionist parties that are more clear-eyed about the realities of immigration.
"Antisemitism comes in all sorts of varieties, whether Christian, Muslim or secular.

"Now, there are different interpretations of Islam, and it’s not the role of an outsider to say which is more correct: The key point is that important Muslim authorities and countless millions of the faithful embrace the fundamentalist version that’s influential in war-torn areas of the broader Middle East that have sent so many refugees to the West.
"The fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood — Hamas is the Palestinian branch — was markedly antisemitic well before the establishment of the state of Israel.
"As one analyst has noted, its anti-Jewish agitation included “boycotts, graffiti and physical violence.' ” . . .
Sound familiar?" . . .
A rancid paranoia about the Jews runs through this worldview.: . . .
