America is not the only country
to have a problem with Arabic and Muslim immigrants. If you think the consequences
of allowing mass immigration from the Third World states of the Middle
East are coming home to roost, in Europe they are starting to rip down
the whole henhouse.
In Germany, which has welcomed "guest
workers" from the Middle East for decades, there are now some 3 million
Muslims, most of them Turkish, and Berlin is the third largest Turkish
city in the world. This may be the reason that Germany served as what the
New York Times calls "the haven of choice" for the terrorists who plotted
and carried out the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington. Just as
the hijackers could mask their presence and plans in the United States
because of the alternative social structures that mass immigration has
created, so in Germany Muslim immigration served the same purpose.
"There are many reasons," the Times
reports, for the terrorist preference for Germany, "among them the fact
that the terrorists could blend into a society with a large Muslim population
and more foreigners than any other in Europe." But Germany is by no means
alone in providing such havens. [NYT October 5th, 2001, A NATION CHALLENGED:
AN ASSESSMENT; In Germany, Terrorists Made Use of a Passion: An Open Democracy]
In France, where for years Jean-Marie
LePen's Front National has warned against the dangers of mass immigration
and where some 5 million Muslims now live, the enemy is within the gates.
"Bin Laden for President!" shout Arab sympathizers of the mastermind of
the Sept. 11 attacks, as Agence France Presse reported last week. "Maybe
I don't approve of what he did in New York, but when I saw him talking
on television I thought, 'What a great guy!'" says one, a 19-year-old computer
technician.
He and his friends have little use
for strict Muslim fundamentalism but they seem to share Osama bin Laden's
political agenda. As the news story reported, "They are in many ways integrated
into French society-their manners, clothes, habits of speech clearly place
them in France-but are fired by a fierce rush of Arab and Islamic pride."
Once again, the fallacy of assuming that external assimilation is more
than skin deep becomes clear.
In Holland also, the Arabic and
Muslim population offers critical support for the bin Laden network as
well for several other Middle Eastern terrorist groups. In fact, Muslim
immigrants have invented what reporter Adriana Stuijt calls "a new form
of terrorism against the civilian population at large." "'Muslim cultural
organizations' have turned the streets of Antwerp and Rotterdam into main
battle grounds for Muslim-fundamentalist male criminal youth gangs who
deliberately attack, rob and invade ethno-European cultural events and
throngs of shoppers in the large shopping districts." As the white European
birth rate falls while that of Third World immigrants to Europe rises,
the Muslims know very well whose continent Europe will soon become. It's
the Europeans who don't have a clue.
In Rotterdam, she reports, "These
gangs target major shopping districts and traditional European cultural
and sporting events to rob, terrorize and abuse especially the ethno-Dutch
population. During these organized attacks, the youths are also seen to
deliberately target ethno-European girls and women, demanding that they
start obeying the strict Muslim shari'a laws favored by terrorist regimes
in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya." In Belgium last summer, gangs of Algerian
and Moroccan youths attacked Flemish citizens holding an annual fair. In
Britain Muslims and Middle Eastern immigrants rioted in several northern
cities.
Not only is the immigrant presence
a challenge to European cultural values and institutions (not to mention
simple law and order) but also it provides a crucial support network for
international terrorism. In Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, and France,
some 20 suspects have actually been arrested or detained for alleged connections
with the Sept. 11 attack, and the New York Times reports "it has become
increasingly clear that there are a number of cells throughout Europe like
the one in Germany that investigators believe played a central role in
planning the Sept. 11 attacks."
Even when immigrants are not openly
sympathetic to terrorism against the countries that took them in, they
provide a vast underground in which real terrorists and their supporters
can live, operate, and conceal themselves and their activities. And, as
the immigrants gain the vote, they constitute a massive political lobby
that will be able to influence European policy toward terrorism, the Middle
East and U.S. action there.
The sheer, unmitigated insanity
of the massive immigration that both our own government and those of Europe
have allowed should by now have become so obvious that lawmakers on both
continents should be rushing to reverse it. They're not. But since they
were insane to allow immigration on this scale in the first place, it's
not surprising they're still too crazy to stop it.
