After the London bombings, the first instinct of Italian police was to round up over 100 people in an anti-terrorism sweep. The first instinct of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, meanwhile, was to warn against human-rights violations.

The responses illustrate the European weakness on terrorism: The suspects are plentiful, but the political and legal obstacles to thwarting them are more plentiful, still. More than ever, this weakness has become a global problem. That's because the worldwide center of gravity of Islamic terrorism isn't the Mideast -- it's Europe.

Euro governments have no problem coming down on natives who don't think allowing their nations to be colonized and destroyed is a good idea. They had no problem coming down on Bardot and Fallaci. This isn't about lax laws, it's about race. They won't come down on Islamic terrorists because they're not white and they're not Western, indeed they are, like the leftist elite themselves, anti-Western (though unlike the elite they're not necessarily anti-white). Coming down on non-white, anti-Westerners, even if they are likely terrorists, just sticks in the craw of the elite.
