Russian analysts, as one can assume, view the events from their own belfry.

As in 'bats in the belfry'?

The chronical beneath the article seems to contradict the author's thesis, but I thought it was interesting to look at another point of view for a change. Of course, when viewed from their 'belfry', Western Europe probably looks like a prosperous island of stability.

"February 4th: Palestinian protestors raid and burn a German cultural center in the Gaza strip. In Denmark there are street fights between Moslems and neo-Nazis."

Neo-Nazis aren't my first choice to go to battle against fanatic Moslems, but, at this point, I'll take whoever has the balls to do it.

they are valuable members of society together with everyone else who pay taxes to a state that ensures a satisfactory social order for the majority of the population.

This is an interesting sentence. No worries about culture or history, nations reduced to their governments and citizenship reduced to the obligation of paying tribute to the central elite in hopes that they will maintain "satisfactory social order." A new feudalism and perhaps capitalism's final development. It makes nations, or at least nations as they presently exist, rather unnecessary since that state is defined only by its ability to keep order. All too clever by half since no matter what this nitwit thinks it will make a difference when France, say, is majority Muslim and African.
