Yesterday, the usual "known wolf" - that's to say, known to the highest levels of the French security apparatus - killed three and wounded a dozen more in this year's first attack on a Christmas market - in Strasbourg. The jihadist yelled ...oh, go on, take a wild guess: Joyeux Noël? Bonnes Fêtes? No, he stuck to the traditional greeting.
Just over two years ago, in the summer of 2016, I met a delightful German lady who lives just across the border from Strasbourg and whose husband, in fact, was born and raised there. Along with her child, my friend, as I put it, "had found herself on the receiving end of some vibrant multicultural outreach from one of Mutti Merkel's boy charmers":
As a result, she no longer goes out after dark. She had also decided - with reluctance, because she enjoyed it - to cancel her participation in a local Christmas market, where she'd sung carols every year - in broad daylight.
'Why would you do that?' I asked.
'Because it's Christmas,' she said, 'and I'm worried Christmas will be a target.'

It’s been target #1 for a few years. The Europeans let their guard down in order to celebrate diversity and diversity opened fire on them.
I bet they are debating how to cancel the Christmas event because it isn’t inclusive enough.
Christmas has been a target for 2018 years or so. Ever heard of Herod?
Get out of NATO now. The American people will not support the sacrifice of blood and treasure to defend a decadent Europe that has transformed itself into garbage.
If it weren’t for Muslims,
There’d be hardly any terrorism at all,
Gloom, despair, and jihadi or three.
As the excerpt from Steyn’s article shows, the European multinationals and our US Democrats do not want border security.
“Because we won’t put up security barriers where they count - at the nation’s border - we have to have ever more intrusive and constricting security on everything within the border. I have written about it innumerable times; I even wrote a short story about it. But the men and women who govern us refuse to change the policies that enable Yuletide slaughter, and their citizens continue to vote for them. And so Strasbourg’s mayor Roland Ries says that “life must go on” - which fatuous bromide ensures that the killing of his citizens will go on. Because he and the rest of a depraved political class lack the will to do anything about it.”
