Charlie Hebdo Attacks Strengthen European Anti-Immigration Parties

You will recall that President Obama once told the UN that the future does not belong to people who insult the prophet Mohammed. Yesterday in Paris Muslim terrorists backed up that statement by killing 12 at the offices of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. This is the same newspaper that the White House recently said was “deeply offensive.” Why exactly the White House is commenting on foreign newspapers isn’t clear. Unfortunately the French government also agrees with Obama’s UN statement. They’ve spent the last several years ceding control of neighborhoods to Muslim terrorists block by block. Weak or no police presence allows terrorists to operate in the open.

The French people have to be credited for opposing Islamic terrorism. Last night tens of thousands rallied in Paris. Rather than hiding in their apartments or pretending terrorism doesn’t exist, Parisians rallied to support free press and to oppose Muslim terrorists. The French appear tired of terrorism, they’re likely tired of Muslims take over neighborhoods. The message last night was aimed at the government as much as the terrorists. Le Pen will likely take advantage. The so-called far right has been picking up steam in France for several years, their support will likely increase. Le Pen has been warning the French all along about unfettered Muslim immigration. Her warnings were correct.

The so-called international community was immediately concerned about the fallout from the attacks. They’re not so much concerned about Muslim terrorists, they’re concerned about “extremists” on “all sides” taking advantage. The UN and EU are concerned that European far-right parties (these parties bare no resemblance to the American right-wing, in Europe everyone is a socialist including the far-right) might take over. It’s a legitimate concern for the international and European political elitists. The far-right socialists in Germany have been rallying against Islamic immigration from months. Le Pen’s party has been gaining in France. In The Netherlands, the far-right has also been making gains. All of these Euro right-wing socialist groups oppose not just the immigration of Muslims but the infringement of national sovereignty by the European Union. This includes immigration sovereignty.

The Hoi Polloi of Europe have threatened the EU over the last several years. Several countries voted down a proposed EU Constitution. The people of the various countries of the EU are increasingly skeptical of law and regulation created in Brussels. Some of this is finance related, understandably the people of Germany don’t want to bail out bankrupt countries like Greece, Portugal, Italy or Ireland. The British however are increasingly at odds over law and regulation created by Brussels and enforced on British subjects. Many Europeans are increasingly troubled by the lack of immigration standards among EU countries. In other words, they’re tired of taking on the underclass of poorer Eastern European nations. To say nothing of Muslims coming from Turkey and elsewhere in the EU. The rise of the far-right socialists in Europe is a direct threat to EU elitist control. It’s also a threat to the UN.

The Charlie Hebdo attack and the fallout from it is likely to shape European politics for the next several years. The French have had enough of Muslim immigration. They’ve had enough of these people being allowed to take over entire neighborhoods, they’re tired of the government exempting them from French law. It isn’t just France of course, German and Dutch opposition to immigration is also on the rise. The attacks in Paris will only aid anti-immigration parties in Europe. These parties have other terrorist attacks to point to, especially in Britian and The Netherlands. Now they can point to a direct attack on free speech by Muslim terrorists. They ask a legitimate question. Do we want to allow more people from Muslim countries into our nation. The far-right socialists of Europe will be asking that question in various European nations. Who will be asking that question in the United States?

It’s worse than that. Europe’s socialism has created a need for cheap foreign labor. A lot of Europeans won’t do certain jobs and they demand 32 hour work weeks and 8 weeks of vacation. The welfare state makes it easy to not work and in most countries foreigners aren’t allowed to get on the dole. For businesses to turn a profit, they need people working cheap. Euros won’t work cheap and they demand short workdays and massive vacations. Foreigners have no choice but to work on the cheap because they can’t fall back on the welfare state.

In many ways Europe’s problem with foreigners, be they Muslims or eastern European, is a product of their socialist welfare state.

Nationalism .... Pride of your national heritage .... Immigrants returning to second class status, i.e., “You are not a resident of Maine, till your family has been here 100 years.”

All these ideas are those that drove the native peoples of nations, for many, many years.

Putting immigrants on the same level as native-born individuals has always been the first of the degenerative signpostws of civilizations. Rome is the prime example of this.

I could not care less about how effective Quisling was in 1940. He is symbol so I am using him as a weapon, period.

Fair enough. From there it must be asked how many people even know who Quisling was.

The Mohammedan non-assimilating invader must be returned to their ancestral site, whether with their shield, or on it, C.O.D.!

All Mohammedan structures must be re-integrated into the norm of civilization, once all that backwards left-handed chicken scrawling not of European origin has been painted over or cleaned off the wall, by becoming the next generation barbeque restaurants serving Divine Swine, or adult entertainment centers blaring ‘80’s metal music, or, reconfigured to indoor firing ranges open to all legal citizens and of both natural genders, and to be even, offered to as many staunch Pentecostal congregations as could be obtained, with the structure being sold for the “Trading Places” bet forfeiture of .... one dollar.
