2016: A TURNING POINT FOR EUROPE?
Bruce Bawer
"For Western Europe, 2016 began with an apocalyptic frenzy, a nightmarish vision of its possible future – namely, an avalanche of brutal sexual assaults, over a thousand of them, committed on New Year's Eve by savage Muslim gangs in the streets and squares of Cologne and several other major German cities.
"The horrific events of New Year's Eve didn't happen out of the blue, of course. For over a generation, thanks to irresponsible immigration policies that had never been submitted for approval to any electorate, as well as to straightforward demographic realities, Western Europe had been steadily Islamized. At first in a few large cities and eventually even in small, remote towns, the presence of Islam became more and more visible. Over time, government officials who had made these developments possible, and who had cut back their own citizens' welfare-state entitlements in order to feed, clothe, and house newly arrived Muslims, were rewarded not with the gratitude and assimilation they had expected but with the exact opposite. Steadily, Muslim communities developed into crime-ridden, sharia-governed enclaves, increasingly explicit in their hostility to infidels, increasingly aggressive in their rejection of the values of their host cultures, and increasingly insistent on their legal independence from secular authorities. Forced marriage, female genital mutilation, and honor killing became European problems. Hijab proliferated, then (in some places at least) niqab. And authorities reacted to all of it with a feckless passivity." . . .
Curiously, the Western and Liberal US compassion has not extended to Christians from Islamic countries who have been victims of Islamic terror.
Yet, in a US school, this was part of the text in a world history worksheet: “The Christians’ harsh treatment of Muslims in the Holy Land led to bitterness that has lasted to the present,” one worksheet stated."
'This is a purely religious threat, which turned into reality. Such hatred! When will the U.S., and all countries, fight back?' Trump asked . . . " 'The terrorist who killed so many people in Germany said just before crime, "by God's will we will slaughter you pigs, I swear, we will slaughter you,"' Trump wrote."
