Many of us sneered at the idea of lowly Belgium having the arrogance to oppose the US war in Iraq. This article gives a good idea of just where that arrogance is coming from and gives us a frighteningly clear view of where the left is headed with multi-culturalism in the US.

It occurs to me that if a pipsqueak country with the serious internal problems Belgium has gets anywhere with its preposterous 'world court' malarkey, what's to stop countries such as, say Syria, Zimbabwe or Cuba from doing the same thing? Then we can have dueling world courts with roving police forces locking up world leaders and fomenting turf struggles against each other.

Those miserable PC Yurrupeons.

Questions:

Because of declining birthrates, Muslims could eventually gain a majority in some EU countries............

1) Can these countries opt out of a democratic form of government and institute Sharia Law by popular vote, much the same as Hitler was voted into power and then immediately got rid of all democratic institutions?

2) Once these countries accept Sharia Law and therefore inherit all the infrastructure of the former country, such as nuclear bombs and missles, can they then declare war on the US and target us?

The Trojan Horse of Islam

Is polygamy acceptable? The French legal instances prefer to avoid the issue; same with the veil, and that in a country where "laicité" is supposed to be an iron principle – particularly on the Left. Same with arranged marriages, sexual mutilation of girls, etc. – all implicitly, if not formally tolerated in the name of "tolerance" – open mindedness to the extreme…

Massive immigration with political correctness doesn't work out very well at all. Not all people coming in wish to assimilate ---some wish to impose their culture instead. Immigration doesn't always mean assimilation into the established culture.

With some 20 million Moslems Mexicans, Western Europe the United States is increasingly having to face the issue of their unwillingness to play by the historic rules of immigration – assimilation and respect for national laws. Long avoided by the cultural and political elites, the issue is being brought to the fore by radical, vocal and media savvy, albeit often self appointed spokesmen of the Moslem Hispanic populations , as well as by an electorate increasingly fed up with high immigrant numbers, criminality and refusal to adapt to local customs. Not surprisingly, the more "tolerant, progressive and open minded a country State, the more likely that such problems become critical. While few European countries States are more progressive and open minded than little Belgium California, its recent problems with the Moslems Hispanics serve as a likely preview for the others.

An article recently posted on FR said that the most popular baby's name is Belgium is Mohammad. Sorry, Belgium. You have a beautiful country, but you're screwed.
