Why would any government bring in unvetted Muslim immigrants at a time like this? It would seem that only an insane prince would do this to his country. But Obama is not insane. He's stoned. He's stoned on the orthodoxy of the progressive left. Obama and his supporters are drunk on their ideology. They think they're going to create a progressive utopia by continuing their attack on all Western values.

That's the money quote there. 0bama is intensely involved in such idiotic diversions as Black Lives Matter and entirely neglectful of the issues that matter with respect to the culture he despises. ISIS has run rampant because of this neglect. The Russians have stepped into the vacuum because of this neglect. The Iranians have laughingly collected everything they wanted for nothing because of this neglect. Libya, Egypt, and now Syria have been propelled into chaos because of this neglect. And through immigration, the Europeans who follow this ideology have fallen into a similar neglect, and through immigration the United States is spiraling into the same vortex of idiocy.

The grand narrative of internationalism, multiculturalism, globalism, etc, etc, has failed utterly in application and its proponents, having obtained power, intend to double down rather than face its failure. That's going to be a real problem. Europe has to decide if its constituent components are worth fighting for, which risks the continuity of the supernational government. Eastern Europe, specifically Poland and Hungary, have made their decision in the affirmative. Germany, well, we do not know. Germany is, after all, a nation that has only been unified since 1871, and the constituent parts of it that appear worth fighting for among its citizens may well be Bavaria, Westphalia, Saxony, Pomerania; in short, all of the units that were welded together by Bismark, and not Germany itself. What that portends for the EU is a little frightening to contemplate.

Yes, this appears to be an existential threat to the European Union. The southern nations are swamped by the thing, and Greece, for example, was never in much of a position to oppose in its most flourishing times. Now it is overwhelmed. What is astonishing is that those who have always opposed the nation as a sovereign unit are perfectly happy with this particular form of its downfall, as if what comes after must be an improvement by the very nature of their model of historical inevitability. They really need to re-examine those assumptions, because the tide is merciless and what comes after may not be what they're hoping for.
