Europe’s terror summer: will politicians now accept the reality of Islamic terrorism?
The Spectator ^ | July 27, 2016 | Douglas Murray

Although the public know what is going on, the media seems loath to find any connection between these events. Indeed, the same papers that blame an exaggerated spike in ‘hate crime’ on everyone who voted for Brexit seem unwilling to put the blame for these real and violent attacks on the individuals carrying them out.

As Reuters went on: ‘A 27-year-old Syrian man who had been denied asylum in Germany a year ago died on Sunday when a bomb he was carrying exploded outside a music festival.’ How terrible for him to lose his bomb in such a way.

The more complex story of the Munich shooter allowed everyone to double-down on their favourite explanations for violence. Inadequate welfare provisions, unsuitable town-planning and bullying were all wheeled out to explain why Ali David Sonboly started shooting in a McDonalds.

The BBC got around the problem by excising the ‘Ali’ and all reports of his religion. Instead, speculation about the shooting happening on the fifth anniversary of Anders Breivik’s terrorist assault in Norway meant that every-one could ignore the Muslim eyewitness who heard Sonboly shout ‘Allahu Akbar’ and headline on Breivik instead. Meaning that in Europe in 2016 a child of Iranian parents can be portrayed as a white supremacist, while no amount of Mohameds shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ can be said to have any connection to Islam.

n Germany, meanwhile, despite the elections next year, no serious challenger to Angela Merkel has emerged. She is not about to turn around now, look at the disaster she has created, and say: ‘Whoops.’

So as the public continue to move to the right, their representatives will continue to stampede to the left.

Lib pols accept this because to address it would mean they would have to go to war against ISIS, they don’t do wars so they let ISIS kill priests and think it’s fine.

Leaders like Merkel and Hollande are progressive, leftist, ideologues and unfailing believers of the fantasy of a united EU from the 1950’s grand vision. There is nothing that will ever change their minds.

To keep their project alive, they will continue to double-down on massive debt, open borders, and an increased police-state.

As long as they stay, nothing will change. When they go, watch out - because change will come fast and hard.

Perhaps it’s a new species of mosque-ito.

German politicians seem intent to punish Germans who complain about their new neighbors.
The French may actually be showing more backbone than I thought existed in France.
We’ll see.
First they have to acknowledge that Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622.A.D.
Then they have to formulate a plan to deal with that reality.
Politicians don’t really deal with reality too well.

“will politicians now accept the reality of Islamic terrorism?”

of course not. These are individuals so intellectually inbred and thoroughly dumb*** that they still believe socialism is a functional government model.

The politicals in that AO (as well as most of our own) are completely incapable of any kind or form of competence in any area of endeavor, without exception.

No.

They need to keep importing foreigners to sustain their welfare state pyramid schemes. Their quandary is that the imported foreigners don't actually work. Quite the reverse, in fact; they are tax consumers.

When Trump (hopefully) ends US military protection of the Euro-grifters, it will hasten the collapse of those welfare states.

I have not seen any mention of this in the news media or anywhere else, but there must be countless people like myself who will no longer vacation in Europe. And I would expect that the consequent decrease in tourism revenue will soon be in the tens of millions of Euros.
