Actually, I can understand why he pulled it.

You accuse the Bush administration of doing "nothing", which is inaccurate. A number of arrests have been made and mosques closed and organizations shut down.

You also make statements like this....."further efforts at assimilation--something which most Muslims have no desire to do,"

"Most muslims"? Really? You have numbers?

I'm feeling a bit under the weather today, or I'd go thru this article more thoroughly and point out more examples of why Horowitz yanked it. But it's not hard to understand why he did.

1. Lawrence Auster, not Ron Lewenberg wrote this. I merely posted this from Auster's blog, View from the Right.
2. To use a medical metiphore, Bush has merely and incompletely, removed the metastasizing elements of a malignancy. The problem is the growth of Islam in America. Terrorism and influence of Islamists are symptoms.

Take a trip to Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Malmo in Sweden, Marseille or any of a dozen suburbs of Paris and Lyons in France. Heck, drop by Atlantic Avenue in NYC or PAterson New Jersey.

Mr. Auster asked me to point out that he is speaking of EUROPEAN Muslims, and the non-assimilating, alienated quality of this community has been referred to again and again in the mainstream conservative press. It's not something he's made up.

I think that Mr. Auster is a little optimistic.
I went to school with an Egyptian Muslim. While he assimilated, his 2 brothers and sisters did not. I believe that one sister is back in Egypt. Her husband was arrested as a member of Gamat Al-Islamya. The rest are members of the Muslim brotherhood or associated orgs.
