I wonder if the Europeans are appeasing their Arab populations or if decades of Marxist indoctrination has turned these people into pacifists. It's hard to see how anyone in the civilized world could really think that suicide bombings are a legitimate expression of dissent. What puzzles me is how upset the Europeans are about the incursion but how indifferent they are to the suicide bombings. Perhaps I'm naive.

Hey thanks for the ping and the link. Are you saying that France is part of the axis or should be?

Ya, I had read this one and bookmarked it. Excellent article in my opinion.

It is nice to see someone from outside the US calling it like it is.

All of these European states will be Muslim-majority soon, and 100% Muslim in a few days thereafter due to killing off any remaining infidels.

Already, the Eurotrash states dare take no position differing from that of Araby, some monkey mullah is calling all the shots, they just echo it.

It's been said that Hitler solved Europe's "Jewish problem" (i.e. millions of unassimilated poor susceptible to revolutionary ideologies.) At the time, the millions were residing in Eastern Europe, but they threatened to destabilize Western Europe.

Now the shoe's on the other foot. The unassimilated millions are in Western Europe and they are destabilizing Western Europe. They are of course the Muslims who have been welcomed with open arms by the enlightened, tolerant, post-modern Western Europeans. I hope that the Eastern Europeans who are so often and so easily accused by us Western sophisticates of that dreaded crime of anti-semitism and worse are watching this situation with glee.

I guess I share your naivete. People talk about our "European heritage," but much of that relates to writings, not conduct. When it relates to institutions, the heritage is Anglo, not European. They're not the same. We had to bail the Europeans out twice. What did we get for our troubles? The equivalent of an old man who as a younger, drunken fool, crashed his cars, killing his loved ones, and who now, unapologetically, lectures us on safe driving from the back seat, while we chauffeur him around at our own expense. I say we throw him out, without hitting the brakes.

Oh, I forgot! There's a new "Axis"!

He means the Axis states during World War II. Germany, foremostly. It's funny he puts France in with them - they would certainly protest they were occupied. However, they weren't known for their strong struggle against German rule.

If these latest attacks were being carried out by right wing terrorists, the reaction would have been swift and savage, and rightfully so.

Europe is damn near silent when it's done by Islamic terrorists.

One of the best descriptions of - and precriptions for - Europeans I've ever read. ...I'm saving it.

Glad you liked it. I lived there for five years, and laugh, whenever I hear the racist euphemism, "European American." If there's one thing I learned over there, it's that I am definitely not a European. Europe has its glories, which are all thanks to long dead Europeans. But then you have to contend with the living, who have created nothing of value, yet who take credit for the legacy -- which is no more theirs than it is mine or yours -- of ancient ancestors.
