The author mistakenly confuses the Europe of 80 years ago with today, where many citizens can no longer own or carry guns. His arguments fail to recognize the impact of political correctness.

"... where many citizens can no longer own or carry guns."

Well, we've certainly witnessed firsthand, what can occur when laws are completely ignored.

He may have a [point. Headscarves, a symbol of Islamic femalism, are being o outlawed. Some Europeans may have some guts after all.

I agree. The PC Europe of today is not the confident Europe of yesteryear. Those societies had lots of young people, ambition, faith in their culture, and (this is most important) the conviction that they G-d was on their side. Now, none of those conditions exist. Too many Europeans have been psychologically disarmed by utopian socialism, athesism, and political correctness. People both here and in Europe care more about being labeled racist than they do about their own survival. Falling birth rates among ethnic Euros don't help either.

That's not to say that their won't be a significant backlash at some point. But I predict it will be a last gasp of the frog that realizes it has been cooked.

Yes, the thought-changing; mind-numbing; world-view altering; politically motivating language of the radical facist-Left introduced then imposed onto our own Democratic construct as well as the rest of the world. . .

Follows the old 'growing rule' of . . . 'sleeps, creeps. . .leaps'. . .

That's what I was thinking at first too. But then something occurred to me...Europeans go through a generational cycle. Remember that the vast majority of the armed extremist groups of Weimar Germany were too young to go the trenches twenty years earlier.

It's only going to take a few generations of difficulty for the Europeans to realize that their decadence is destroying them and I don't think the muslims are reproducing that fast.

Are you saying that 'political correctness' and lack of privately owned weapons are bar to state organized oppression?
