Is this the end of the E.U.?

It's always the things you don't expect that get you. After banking scandals, currency issues, and a Greek/Portugese/Spanish debt crisis just about every six months, the economic and political partnership that is the European Union seems much more likely to fall apart for an entirely different reason after all.

That reason is ISIS.

This is a political nightmare for the statist bureaucrats who have been working for decades to reduce true representative democracy all for the goal of a unified and monolithic economic entity without worrying about being hindered by annoying little things like the will of the people. Before these attacks and the border response, the E.U. simply glossed over dissent and most attempts to challenge its un-elected sovereignty.

But what do the people who spread accusations of racism and xenophobia do now that more Europeans than ever believe their governments are sacrificing their safety in favor of remaining compliant with E.U. immigration dogma? The simple answer is that they're in trouble, and no amount of sanctimonious shaming or economic threats will do much good when the majority of the public doesn't feel safe anymore.

ISLAM IS NOT THE ENEMY!! ISLAM HAS NOTHING TO DO WHATSOEVER WITH ALL THESE TERRORIST ATTACKS!! - HILLARY CLINTON

[NormsRevenge]

[OddLane]

Collectivism is too big to fail.

[Politicalkiddo]

Wouldn’t that be a shame? /s

[dp0622]

that would explain why the top jerk over there wanted to build a European army so quickly.

To crush dissenters before it was too late.

I think it’s too late

plus i’m surprised to see a conservative article with the letters NBC in it. Even if it is the business channel.

[RKBA Democrat]

We can only hope.

[Jim Robinson]

Wake up Europe!!

Wake up America!!

These followers of ISLAM hate Judeo-Christianity and have no intention whatsoever of assimilating into your society or even coexisting with you.

Your choices after they get entrenched into your country: Deny your God, convert to Islam, become a second class citizen with no rights, or die by the sword.

Koran; Shariah law; jihad, dhimmiitue.

Look it up.

They did not make a union, they created an un-elected socialist trans national super-government.
May all such attempts fail.
A UN world government will be much worse.

The EU was the socialist brainchild of one Valery Giscard d'Estaing (amongst others). It was to expand Scandinavian style socialism across Europe. As such, it ignored the regional differences that produced sovereign countries that emerged over many centuries in the first place, and is thus doomed to failure. Maybe not tomorrow, but it will eventually fail and the muslim crisis just might be the catalyst.

[Biggirl]

We are dealing with a demonic religion.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Bears repeating.

[Jim Robinson]

We are dealing with a fanatical denomic fascist totalitarian movement sending its poisonous tentacles into every nation of the earth with total worldwide conquest and domination in mind.
