In many of them the police, fire and EMS services won't show up because when they do they are attacked by firebombs, rocks, and the occasional shooting. French policy thus far has been to give lip service to 'improving relations' but as a practical matter just send them social benefit checks so they stay home and out of everyone else's hair. French public school attendance in those areas is near zero as is gainful employment. Erstwhile Islamic organizations have filled the gap to further radicalize the people there. Even in downtown Paris it's a regular occurrence to have streets shut down for Islamic prayer. No traffic, not even emergency traffic can get through as hundreds of men kneel in the middle of the street 5 times a day. The once famous Marais district in Paris, the "Jewish Quarter" is empty of nearly all Jews. The few that remain are Mashadi Judaica shopkeepers Even the world famous Goldenberg Restaurant is closed. A fifth of Paris is African Muslim or 1st generation descendents of African Muslims. Lyon public schools are now Halal. But the deeper issues is in today's Europe, integrating them into the wider culture of the country in which they live is seen as racist. So there is no effort to try. Therefore in places like Rotterdamn, Birmingham, East London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Malmo, where Muslim population is 15-30% or more, the government encourages separation, extremism, radicalism and a general caving-in to handing over all civil, legal, criminal and social control to the mosques. In East London today, 'modesty police' prowl the streets assaulting women who are insufficiently sharia compliant. The UK government estimates there are hundreds if not thousands of honor killings a year in the UK most of which are never investigated or prosecuted. Dutch filmmakers murdered for 'insulting' Islam. Danish cartoonists attacked for drawing Mohammed. Annual arsonist uprisings where thousands of cars are set on fire. Jews kidnapped and murdered in broad daylight. The mayor of Malmo telling Jews to make a public confession of support for Hamas or they should move. <br /><br />There's perhaps 700-750,000 Jews remaining in all of Europe from Ireland to Ukraine. Among a population of 450 million +. Looking at that through the telescope of history, no matter how bad things get, about half will never leave. So be generous and round up and figure 400,000 Jews will need a new home in the next few years. Where will they go? Mainly they will go to the US, Canada and Israel. The revenant left behind will nearly disappear in a generation - many of them already being old. But in that interval Europe will have changed dramatically. You've got to figure that in a generation one or two EU states will be ruled by something like the Muslim Brotherhood.

That would just be too tragic for words.<br /><br />"<i>Mohamed's lawyer said that his client was "depressed."</i>"<br /><br />You know, I've spent probably a clear majority of the past five years "depressed" in one way or another, yet I never for a second considered killing a bunch of people. Let alone those of one specific ethnicity.<br /><br />Yes, institutional racism and bigotry of all kinds exists in every society, unfortunately. But it's never an excuse for murder, and of course the <i>so-vast-there-isn't-even-quite-a-proper-term-for-it</i> majority never try to, let alone actually carry, such a thing out.<br /><br />Speaking of '<a href="http://israel-thrives.blogspot.com/2010/11/landmarks.html" rel="nofollow">landmarks</a>.' Now that you remind me.<br /><br />My very first at a certain Orange blog may have been the defense, by a not small number of people, some of whom I once respected, of <a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2013/01/mohamed_mohamud_found_guilty_i.html" rel="nofollow">this wonderful young lad</a>, who wanted to murder thousands of citizens of the very state which brought him into this country and sent him to college. For having the audacity to be infidels and racists... well, except for bringing him into our country and sending him to college, I suppose.<br /><br />When one's sympathy for a racist's rage goes even slightly in the violent racist's direction, I'd argue that those whose sympathy does so should perhaps reassess their own priorities, as well.JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.com
