civil war will break out in EU soon .... everyone is waking up...... we need to help them figure it out ...
It's gut-check time for Europe. What are you?
Um . . . no. Multiculturalism means one should critique one's own culture mercilessly while celebrating and apologizing for the cultures of "others," even if that culture is more regressive than one's own.
Good article, some insight from Evans-Pritchard I haven't seen elsewhere. Good post!
Read the whole thing folks.
Europe is in serious, serious trouble. This is just the beginning. To wit:
Europe has a huge Muslim population. Moreover, that Muslim population is growing by both immigration and birth rates. (Native European birth rates are below the maintenance level; the Muslim fertility rate is growing). As the Muslim population grows, these problems can only be exacerbated.
Europe is ill-equiped to deal with internal violence. Their liberal / socialist societies have preached "tollerance" for so long, that they will tollerate violence against their own culture. Their proper response will be sufficiently delayed that a great deal of damage will have already been done by the time they respond properly.
Europe has disarmed its citizenry. They do not have a 2nd Ammendment. Their citizens are defenseless.
Europe has a socialist economy which is under severe strain. Moreover, its only source of strength has been exports to the US market. With the advent of the strong Euro currency, those exports are becoming expensive. Moreover, US imports are becoming cheaper. Their economy cannot sustain the exports and this will further damage it. A weakened economy in a socialist environment has a positive feedback element: more people unemployed mean more social benefits ==> more taxes or deficits ==> a further weakened economy. A weak economy will exacerbate the racial tensions between the Muslim and native communities.
Many of us thoroughly loathe Europe because of its behavior toward the US.
Well, they will have done it to themselves, and we can sit back and enjoy. Schadenfreude.
Tolerance is really only cultural pluralism - something unique to the Western world since the time of Rome. It is a purely Western invention, based upon respect for the individual and the rule of law.
It's obvious that the apes who inhabit our universities think that cultural pluralism is a given, rather than an exception. They are, and remain, historically and culturally ignorant pedants and fools.
I reject moral relativism, thus I define multiculturalism as a pile of intellectual manure.
Not sure what wars between the races or religions have to do with multiculturalism?
That is because multiculturalism like its pal Political Correctness is a social extension of a dictatorial socialistic system, and without the strong man clamping down on the citizenry, this type of conflict will lead to open civil war. Europe now must choose between democracy where all intolerant religions are banned or a dictator who will impose islamic law on the whole population. How's that for a choice? Of course, the first step in clamping down on Islam will lead to immediate retaliation. Likewise, succuming to Islamic law has its drawbacks in the loss of freedom that will follow. For once, I am glad to see Europe facing this first, it will be a good eye opener for the left over here.
Typical liberals. Yeah, that'll work!
"Van Gogh's was the second assassination to arise out of that culture clash. Two years ago, an openly gay politician named Pim Fortuyn was killed by a left-winger who objected to Fortuyn's aggressive attacks on Holland's high levels of Muslim immigration. Though that killing was equally shocking, many Dutch liberals avoided thinking of the implications of Fortuyn's arguments by dismissing him as a right-winger, Evans-Pritchard said."
Oh, well, if he was a right-winger then it's okay. This says a hell of a lot about liberal "tolerance".
A great book by Lee Harris:
Civilization and its Enemies, the next stage of history.
He discusses how 9-11 changed this country forever, that we better come to the reality there are people that want to kill us.
The multiculturalism idea is part of the problem of folks not thinking clearly or wanting to face the fact that we do have enemies.
The author of this article is the token Conservative on the Newark Star Ledger staff and someone I enjoy reading. He's not everyone's cup of tea but I thought you'd like this one.
"The note contained threats to kill several other Dutch political figures who had been critical of the Muslim community."
And the rest of the world and the Dems/Libs wonder why we call these people "terrorists" and need to kill them all? It's called reality, people, something with which the Dems/Libs are not familiar.
I think your right, but it amazes me that 9/11 didn't do just that.
