So, you have to wonder if the europeans have figured it out yet. Are they going to allow themselves to be blackmailed, are they going to stand up and demand these people behave in a civilized manner, or is it too late? Has europe become an Islamic continent?

Looks like Europe will be overrun by the Moslem hoards after all.

It may indeed be too late already. There are many more Arabs in Europe (estimates I have read vary wildly, from 15 million to 54) than in the US (some 5 million).

The Palestinian PR machine and its cult of victimhood is very effective. Politicians who are in the pocket of Arab commercial interests agitate against Israel louder than ever before. Today Jürgen Möllemann, vice-chairman of the small but influential FDP party and president of the German-Arab Association, justified Palestinian violence with these words: "What if it were Germany that was occupied? I too would resist and resist violently. I am a reserve officer with the paratroopers. It would be my duty to fight back. And I would do it not only within my own country but also in the aggressor's country."

Press coverage by news magazines like "Der Spiegel" (sort of like a combination of Time, Newsweek and The Economist) is almost entirely one-sided against Israel. It seems to be much the same in other European countries.

I don't think that Europeans believe in their own civilization any longer.
