Agreed. This is far more serious a matter than many people are making of it. Even here at FR, where the generally high level of intellect and patriotism ought to inoculate us against complacency, some folks are making light of France's predicament. Well, yes, in some respects, the French deserve it. But it is not and will not be just a French problem for long. As the author of this piece recognizes, there could soon be Muslim uprisings all over Europe. But are you ready for the same in - Detroit? Cleveland? Los Angeles? Muslim populations exist in those cities and in other American places, and as in European cities, they are unassimilated, militant, and loyal only to Islam. And I would guess that these Muslims would be only too happy to take advantage of large numbers of similarly unassimilated, illegal non-Muslim aliens in the US in order to create large-scale uprisings.
The problem is not so much the uprisings as the political response to them. The goal in France, as it will be everywhere else, is to create a group of virulent mini states within, and destructive to, the host state[s]. Ten percent of a popluation cannot do that by force. Unfortunately, they can do it by getting the political authorities or, in the United States, the courts, to agree to it. The PC, multicultural group here would be only too happy to do just that. This is why our entire way of life is in mortal danger.
Maybe so, but we still have governors who order out the National Guard.
