The
refugee and immigrant problem in Europe
continues to worsen. Europeans opened their borders during the last few
years
to radical Islamists and others fleeing oppressive or impoverished
conditions
in Syria and other parts of the Middle East and North Africa. But
instead of
encouraging the new immigrants to assimilate, many of the European
governments
are bending over backwards to help them not assimilate.
This is a losing
proposition, since many of the refugees subscribe to radical Islam. It
is
incompatible with Western culture.
Europeans
are afraid to venture into certain
areas, known as “no-go zones,” where the violent
young men walk the streets.
Many Europeans no longer leave their homes after dark. Jews are warned
not to wear anything identifying themselves as Jewish in public,
such as skullcaps, or to speak Hebrew. Jews in France have been beaten
in the
streets for wearing skullcaps. It is considered unsafe for them to walk
in
certain parts of Marseille and Lyons. In the UK, the
“Shomrin,” or guardians,
patrol the streets in many areas to protect Jews. In Denmark, an
elderly man
was assaulted by men who appeared to be radical Islamists. They ripped
his
necklace off of him, which had a Star of David pendant.
Women
are afraid to walk or jog alone due to the
increase in rapes. They are warned not to show too much skin or they
may be
attacked. The term “rapefugee” has become common
among opponents of the open
borders policy. Andrew McCarthy, writing for National Review,
coined
the term “rape jihad.” Close to 150 schools in the
UK now require
girls to wear hijabs, because they’re predominantly Muslim.
Germany
has been one of the most welcoming
countries for refugees. German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted
last month that there are no-go zones in Germany, something
European politicians had been denying existed. She stated
in 2010 while in Potsdam that multiculturalism had "utterly
failed." But that did not stop her from opening Germany’s
borders to the
refugees in 2015. She ignored a European Union rule instructing
countries to
deport Syrian refugees back to their own country, and instead let them
stay. Obama
praised
Merkel
in
April 2016 during a trip to Germany for being on "the right side of
history" with her open-border immigration policy.
After
Merkel opened the borders, violent crime increased
by 10 percent in Germany during 2015 and 2016. More than 90
percent of it is attributed to young male refugees. The study,
published by the
Zurich University of Applied Sciences, found
that it is due to the refugees coming from Muslim countries
characterized by “male dominance” and an acceptance
of “macho culture” that
justifies violence.
Demands
are increasing to medically screen the
refugees in order to determine their age. Many young men over 18 claim
to be
minors in order to receive asylum. Abdul D., an Afghan immigrant, stabbed
his German ex-girlfriend to death. He said he was 15, but the
girl’s dad says he is not. The violence reached tragic levels
with the 2015 New Year’s Eve
molestation
and rapes in Cologne
and the Berlin Christmas
market attack
in 2016.
Sweden’s
foreign minister, Margot Wallström,
claims that her country has a “feminist foreign
policy.” But how is letting a
significantly higher percentage of male refugees into the country, many
who are
violent, feminist? According to
the Swedish government, 71 percent of all applicants for asylum
to Sweden in 2015 were male. More than 90 percent of alleged
“unaccompanied
minors” are male.
European
political correctness has brought about
this situation. Concerned about discriminating against Muslims, no
efforts are
made to determine whether the refugees are associated with radical
Islam. But
they have proven to be unassimilable. Cheryl Benard, writing for The
National Interest, says
an Afghan translator told her that young Afghan immigrants
“are
motivated by a deep and abiding contempt for Western
civilization.” Europeans
are the enemy and their women are the spoils. They believe European
civilization is going to fall and will be replaced with Islamic
theocracies.
The Europeans are too weak to crack down on them and stop this from
happening.
Unfortunately,
those who point out the
incompatibility of radical Islam with Western civilization are labeled
racist
and guilty of discriminating against Muslims. The reality is, the
radical
Islamists are discriminating against the Europeans by forcing them to
conform
to their standards and behavior. Until Europe begins screening for
radical
Islamists, their numbers and associated violence will continue to
increase.
Multiculturalism needs assimilation to work, otherwise it ends in civil
war.
