Carlson: Euro Governments ‘Afraid Of Their Muslim Population’
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/07/2009 7:00:24 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

The Euro leaders’ adulation of The Obama didn’t translate into providing any more combat troops for Afghanistan. Some might chalk it up to commonplace continental fecklessness. But Tucker Carlson has offered a much more chilling explanation, one with ramifications extending far beyond the specific matter at hand.

Appearing on Morning Joe today, Carlson flatly stated that “Europe is afraid of its own Muslim population.”

He continued:

TUCKER CARLSON: And that’s one of the main reasons it doesn’t want to commit troops to Afghanistan, because it’s afraid of domestic unrest in its own countries. So that has nothing to with how we’re perceived or who our president is, that’s European cowardice on display, period.

Carlson returned to the theme a bit later in response to an observation by Willie Geist.

Just one look at the rioters in Turkey yesterday. Protesting the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

You can be sure the promises made to support our mission in Afghanistan will never be honored. Lots of talk talk but there will be no action at all.

If the Europeans AREN’T afraid of their Muslim populations, a group of people who have overrun parts of Europe and want to change the very nature of their countries, they are dumber than rocks. Italy’s Northern League is the only entity that is expressing the common-sense notion of self-protection, along with a few individuals such as Geert Wilders. The vast majority of them are bowing down, Obamalike.

This is quite a troubling predicament they have gotten themselves into, and it seems there is no effort being put forth to change anything. Good luck with that Europe. You’re gonna need it.

Well, at least Mr. Carlson gets kudos for saying what we all were thinking. For most of us on this forum, it is a statement of the obvious.

Hooray Tucker! An Iron Burkha has descended upon Europe. There is no easy way out of this one.

Thanks for the ping, Mark.

Well perhaps if the “benevolent dictators” of these nations hadn’t disarmed their own people they wouldn’t be quite so dependent upon the army! Just a thought, of course.

Too bad we can’t work with the “EU in a joint effort” to send them all back to Krapistan.

All part of DeGaulle’s effort’s 40+ years ago to create a “sphere of influence” between Europe & the Arab nations that could be used to off-set American influence. It’s been a one-sided development for more than 4 decades and this is the result.

Carlson has it SPOT ON.

Europe is largely gone!!!

Will someone please tell the Europeans that the next time they need help cleaning up their own neighborhood, call 911 at the UN.

Be sure to let us know how that works out for you.

I guess Europe won’t be able to count on the U.S. to bail them out this time. Unless there is a mass cleansing in our government beforehand.

The sad thing is in Europe, until very recently, the ONLY people expressing any reservation at all about the huge Muslim influx have been neo-Nazi types.

Hence, mainstream politicians don’t want to touch the issue with a 10 foot poll, and, it’s just not acceptable, in polite society to express (legitimate, reasonable, evidence-based) fear—out of the more immediate fear of being lumped in the the likes of Jörg Heider—and the previous generation which slaughtered 20,000,000 civilians...

Bump to watch again later, when I might be more inclined to believe that Tucker actually said it...
