Exporting What You Imported
In the case of Europe, it's radical Muslim Imans and their followers. (H/T Captain Ed)
Countries across Europe are working to expel radical Islamic clerics who glorify and condone acts of terrorism, in hopes of stemming the tide of extremism among impressionable Muslim youth.
France deported an imam to his native Algeria on Friday for incendiary sermons at mosques in Paris, and at least eight more extremist clerics are expected to be banished in the coming weeks.
Italy expelled eight fundamentalist Palestinian preachers on Tuesday for not holding proper residency permits, Italian news agency ANSA reported.
The British Home Office announced recently that it will introduce an anti-terror bill that criminalizes "indirect incitement of terrorism," and is creating a database to identify those who preach intolerance and run Web sites promoting jihad, or holy war.
The measures, adopted after the July 7 London transit bombings, are part of a campaign across Europe to root out extremist imams who help radicalize disenchanted Muslim youths and recruit them for violent causes.
The Europeans may finally be waking up to the dangers of immigration without integration. This is not just a war of bombs and words, it's a culture war above all. The western nations are under siege by Islamic extremists in Europe. The British culture is dwindling at the hands of even nonviolent immigrants and the multicultural European Union. France, Germany and Italy are similarly struggling to maintain any national identity. The United States is facing wave after wave of latin immigrants that don't want to join our culture, but rather replace it with their own.
In the melting pot analogy so often used, each new wave of immigrants, the Irish, the Germans, the Italians...brought flavor to the pot, they brought celebrations, food choices and colorful histories, while embracing the English speaking American culture, with its Bristish foundation and frontier ruggedness. It seems now that certain cultures are using emmigration as a tool, as a means to spread their own culture, and to slowly weaken other cultures. Exactly which cultures are imperialist? Which cultures exclude and denigrate others? The Europeans may finally be responding appropritately to this assault on their culture. Hopefully these steps will spare their people from assaults as well.
