Europe's Angry Muslims
Foreign Affairs ^ | July/Aug 2005 | Robert S. Leiken

Posted on 07/04/2005 7:34:35 AM PDT by mal

The footprint of Muslim immigrants in Europe is already more visible than that of the Hispanic population in the United States. Unlike the jumble of nationalities that make up the American Latino community, the Muslims of western Europe are likely to be distinct, cohesive, and bitter. In Europe, host countries that never learned to integrate newcomers collide with immigrants exceptionally retentive of their ways, producing a variant of what the French scholar Olivier Roy calls "globalized Islam": militant Islamic resentment at Western dominance, anti-imperialism exalted by revivalism.

Is it really neccessary to snip all articles after 1 paragraph? Sucha waste of time. Please only do so when the media source has expressly insisted upon it, or if the outlet was part of the settlement with FR.

It's a good tag-line.

"host countries that never learned to integrate newcomers"

LOL Since when should any country HAVE to accomodate newcomers? Common sense should dictate that "newcomers" adapt to the ways of their host country. This crap is really starting to irritate me when I see that the US is learning nothing by looking at Europe and its immigration problems.

Great article, and especially interesting in that appears in Foreign Affairs. The author refers to a coming "tipping point" which might be close at hand. The explosion of Eurabia is going to be a bloody mess, and I predict the most brutal reaction will be in France. The demographic clock is ticking, so better sooner than later...

Most Muslims, believe it or not, are not angry, even a lot of the time. They are too busy just living.

The Angry Muslims, a very small minority of the 1 billion Muslims in the world, get voice and media coverage because the media WANT to cover them. Only 1/4 of all Muslims are Arabs. The media ESPECIALLY love to cover the Angry Arab Muslims. And since those few Angry Arab Muslims killed Americans, we worry very much, justifiably, about them.

Bush has kept us safe here for the last four years.
Europe has to be more Bush-like if they too want to be safer. They will.

When the boom lowers, read that as stiffer laws and penalties for suspected terrorists, a.k.a. racial profiling, the liberals of every ilk, especial the MSM of each country, do and will continue to squeal like stuck pigs. But the majority of people, NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER heard because of the MSM's agenda of giving voice to ONLY those who fit into the MSM's package, will BE GLAD to be safe.
They, the SILENCED-by-the-MSM majority, are not our enemies. The terrorists and MSM are. The two of them have been teammates for decades.

Three and a half million central Africans (in and around the Congo) have died in the past 10 years from civil wars. That, however, is no news for us. The MSM simply isn't interested in THOSE deaths. Africa doesn't matter to them. Africa doesn't sell toothpaste, potato chips or beer -- or win Pulitzer prizes. Angry Arab Muslims do. Thus, the "bottom-line" agenda mixes in with the MSM's political and social agenda.

You are wrong there are such Muslims. They tend to die after around 30 lashes at a public flogging, of if their husband's beat them too hard.

Were it not for our insane tolerance for the demands of communist splinter groups like the ACLU, we would be deporting Muslims by the tens of thousands. Europe has to END all immigration from Muslim nations, as do we. Total separation is critical if we are to survive the Global Jihad.

Let me get this straight: Muslims immigrate to a foreign country, one that tolerates their religion but that is dominated by Christiantiy and has been for 1,000 years. The Muslims, members of a "religion" whose adherents have been responsible for some of the most heinous terroristic crimes in the last century, make no effort to integrate themselves into the host society, but instead huddle in their conclaves whispering and kvetching. And then they're "surprised and angry" that the world is suspicious of them, that they're not welcomed with open arms into the fold?

Anti-Muslim sentiment is the classic example of a self-fulfilling prophecy. They're hated because they're murdering savages. They resent the people who hate them and vow to revenge the slights and insults. They commit more acts of terrorism in a sort of twisted "I'll show you" gesture. The world hates them more and more. And the cycle repeats.

When Muslim mayhem ceases, so will the hate. Until then, it's fully justified.

Au contraire, the Politically Correct Socialists in this country see very well the mess Islamic over flow is creating and making prayer rooms in our schools; allowing minarets replete with prayer calls heard around the hood.....The ACLU blocks all things Christian but give a leg up to Islam - maybe they don't think Islam is a religion? Naw, that couldn't be it....................

The message should be This is America, love it or leave it.

Islamic immigrants act like they have (or should have) been in Western Europe for 1,000 years.

Just another reason to double check before letting any more of these potential terrorists into our country.

I can tell you that some of the comments I hear from immigrant resident doctors at the hospital will make your blood boil.

These young men and women certainly feel that they are morally and mentally superior to their American counterparts.

These young doctors come from India, Iran, Egypt, Saudi and numerous other countries.

Since 9-11 they have become empowered to make these comments though supporters from CAIR and others of their ilk.
