THE FACES OF DENIAL [Europe is asking for terror]
The New York Post ^ | October 24, 2004 | By RALPH PETERS

Posted on 10/24/2004 8:53:10 AM PDT by aculeus

October 24, 2004 -- EUROPEANS insist that the United States overreacted to 9/11. Conde scendingly, they observe that they've been dealing with terror ism successfully for three dec ades, that it can be managed, that life goes on.

They're wrong.

What Europeans fail to grasp — what they willfully refuse to face — is that the nature of terrorism has changed.

The alphabet-soup terrorists of the past — the IRA, ETA, PLO, RAF ...

I'm waiting for Europe to be hit with a 100,000+ killed event.

Sometimes even sheep will bite back.

If that happens, Islam will be scourged from this planet by Europeans, not Americans.

He lays it on the line. No euphemisms, no PC baloney -- the simple, painful truth. Europe is facing destruction, bombings, mass murder, it's just a matter of time. Many will flee. The rest will either rediscover their Christian heritage and die, or be forced to convert. They'll be outnumbered, for sure, and guess who'll be asked to mount the rescue effort?

Naah. They'll join the Muslims in blaming Israel for it. You know, what was referred to as "that sh*tty little country."

What was WWII??? The Europeans did not learn to fight evil, they learned fighting was evil.

ONLY IF, we stand against a public worship of the Muslim beliefs. There is a town that had a Polish majority; they moved out, and the Muslims moved in. Now the minority Polish Roman Catholics are forced to listen - five times a day - the Muslim call to prayer. The call to prayer says only Allah is a true god, all others are false.

The town is Hamtramck, Michigan. Muslims in Hamtramck boast this is only the beginning; that other American cities will follow suit.

To the North of us, in Canada, Muslims are demanding they follow the laws of the Quran rather than Canadian law.

Who then, will be left to .....mount the rescue effort?

"American Muslims not only become citizens — they become good citizens."

I am not sure I agree with this statement from the article. If I had my way, there would be no Muslims citizens in this country.

"IN many ways, the civilizations of North America and Europe are diverging. Europe has a crisis of values behind its failure of will. Their anxiety to tell everyone else what to do reflects their own uncertainty. Corrupt, selfish and cowardly, old Europe has fallen to moral lows not seen since 1945."

What's with this North America bilge. Canada has thrown her lot in with Europe and Mexico is even more corrupt and selfish than Europe.

Why does he see muslim communities as "indigestible" only in Europe, but not in the United States? I tend to see his claims on their successful acculturation in the US as colored by wishful thinking.

Note that the Peters' thesis extends to the Eurocentric kerrys and their Leftist buddies.

"Well, I haven't been briefed [about the new al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States] yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me; I just haven't had time."

"I think most Americans subconsciously believe something [another terror attack on the United States] is going to happen. It's a matter of when, and it's a matter of how... but, you know, Europeans have lived that way, and other people around the world have lived that way. Americans have been very safe, at least as a nation."

American Muslims not only become citizens — they become good citizens. Despite the assimilation hurdles that face every new group of immigrants, our Muslims have opportunity and hope. A disaffected few may make headlines, but American Muslims overwhelmingly support their new country and do not wish it harm. They see no contradiction between faith in their god and faith in America. Our worries are their worries, and their dreams are our dreams

This is why the call him Ra-a-a-a-lph. It is this sort or "thinking" that brought the terrorists to America and Europe. Let me put this as simply as possible: the larger the Muslim population the greater the chances of Islamic Terrorism.

It wasn't a random choice on the part of the 9/11 terrorists that led them to do so much of their preparation in Europe. They know that American-Muslim communities won't offer hospitality to terrorists . . . If you want to see bigotry alive and well, visit "Old Europe."

No, it wasn't a random choice, it was because they and the large Muslim population they swim in were invited to colonize Europe by the leftist ruling class under policies of colonialism that you celebrate in the first paragraph above. They didn't prepare in Europe because Europe is bigoted against Muslims, they prepared in Europe because they were there, thanks to traitors like Ralph Peters. And even if the bigotry exists as he describes it, is he saying that it justifies, what? 9-11? Madrid? Do you think Ralph Peters would ever say blowing up buses in Israel was justified by anything that happened in the West Bank? Think about that. There is also a contradiction in saying that the new terrorists are not reachable but European bigotry somehow causes terrorism. Finally there is no evidence that even the basic premise is true. The terrorists operated in the U.S. as easily as in Europe, they didn't lack in "hospitality" from ANYONE. In fact, they did most of the meaningful training and planning here, training that almost certainly would have been far more difficult to get away with in Europe, and they moved with ease among the Muslim population here.
