E urope is committing cultural suicide. More than a decade ago historian Bernard Lewis warned that by the dawn of the next century Europe would resemble nothing so much as an extension of the Maghreb. He was being too conservative by decades.
By placing out the welcome mat to millions of new Muslim immigrants annually Europe is accepting into its midst products of foreign cultures who have proven largely unassimilable and who will only become more so as their communities grow larger. Most of the Islamic perpetrators of terror attacks in Europe to date have been native-born — some university-educated.
The most dramatic threat posed by these immigrants is that of increased terrorism. Britain recently experienced three major terror attacks in a 10-week period. France has been under martial law since January 2015 and has witnessed multiple major terror attacks; 10 000 troops are deployed in French cities guarding major tourist sites not to mention synagogues and Jewish businesses.
Germany is the most popular destination for Muslim refugees and has taken in approximately two million refugees since July 2015. As a consequence Islamists targeted Germany eight times as much in 2016 than in 2015. The percentage of European plots directed at Germany jumped from 5% in 2015 to 27% a year later. Indeed in 2016 more German-based terror attacks were hatched than in the preceding 15 years combined.
