As long as we were dealing with Islamic terrorists arriving in Western Europe from the Middle East and not part of local society, it was possible to monitor them and thwart their terror intentions. They were foreigners. Yet what happens when the terrorists are French or European locals of Muslim descent who were born in Europe? To what extent can their actions be monitored and their terror activities curbed? It’s much more difficult, and this is the European nightmare, which keeps growing, as illustrated by the brutal murder in Toulouse.
These Muslim European youngsters, some of whom view jihad as a model for imitation, are deeply familiar with European society and its constitutional, security and moral vulnerabilities. Studies show that Muslim youths born in Europe are much more radical than the generation of their immigrant parents, who were preoccupied with making a living.
A fascinating and important study by British think tank Policy Exchange found that Muslim youngsters in Britain are quickly moving towards radicalization, Islamization, and a desire to change Britain’s identity to conform to Islam. These are loud warning signs, yet nobody can do anything about it in Europe for fear of being accused of primitivism.
The study was premised, among other things, on a poll among Britain’s Muslim population. Some 37% of youngsters aged 16-24 want to adopt Islamic laws in Britain (of course, nobody would renounce their British citizenship) compared to only 17% of respondents aged above 55. Meanwhile, 37% of young respondents want their children to study in Islamic schools, compared to only 19% of older respondents. Some 7% of respondents confessed to admiring terror groups like al-Qaeda, including 13% of youngsters and 3% of older respondents. (Notably, the terrorist who blew himself up at Tel Aviv’s Mike’s Place café in 2003 was a Muslim carrying a British passport.) Finally, 74% of the youngsters prefer their wives to wear a veil, compared to 28% among older respondents.
Easy prey for terrorists
Meanwhile, the European Union has become an awkward, clumsy body, up to its neck in bureaucracy, with odd technocrats assuming top posts: For example, Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton. The EU exposed European states to accelerated Muslim immigration, while forcing them to adopt liberal, lenient laws towards minorities and immigrants. The sense of sovereignty and safeguarding of borders, which is supposed to be natural for every country, was almost annulled, while officials in Brussels make decisions for all EU states; the same Brussels that already boasts a Muslim majority at city hall.
And so, the European Union has become easy prey for those interested in establishing terror cells and misusing the benefits of living in Europe. These Jihad groups view the EU as a bulbous, atrophied body that is an easy victim for their schemes. These are al-Qaeda’s grandchildren already, who are no longer operating in the name of veteran leaders and usually don’t even know them. They are an original European product. Some of them travel to the Middle East or to Afghanistan, come in contact with terror elements, and import the ideas, and arms, to Europe. At times there is no need for it, as the Internet is a superb guide and many youngsters are exposed to violent Islamic information without speaking a word of Arabic.
For long years, senior EU officials felt they were living in a remote, calm island, looking from above at the Third World and Islam, or at least this is how they hoped to view themselves. Yet this is no longer the case. And this truth, which has now pervaded the hearts of millions in France following the Toulouse massacre, is horrifying them. It is not the Jews whom the French are now thinking of; first and foremost, they fear for themselves.
@ Arison:
Very few Europeans are practicing Christians these days. The problem does not lie with Christianity in Europe, but rather a post-Christian, secular left Europe.
You really are confused. This teacher was likely a radical leftist, not a practicing Christian. There is no indication that this teacher was a practitioner of some radical form of Christianity. I’m glad that the students walked out on her.
This is an excellent posting and the responses all the more so – this should be read and thought about by everyone,
as it is a preview of the immediate future for us all…

Yamit,
Israel is in the same boat as America. I expect Netanyahu to completely cave in on the Iran issue, and decide to “live with” a nuclear Iran. You will not find any comfort in America’s misery, and well you shouldn’t — you’re as much to blame as we are, with your cowardice.
AMERICA IS NOT FAR BEHIND EUROPE AND IT DID NOT BEGIN WITH OBAMA.
You can’t defeat an enemy you are afraid of offending.

Right and Left.. Both Enemies of Jews
“He uses the term “grave mistake”. It was no mistake. Europe willingly and exactingly did this with malice aforethought… first degree murder. The holocaust, the pogroms, the kicking Jews out was no mistake. A mistake is one brown sock and one black in a the dim of morning light. It was deliberate and rabid and satanic on their part. America and Britain joined in by refusing to take in Jews running from the holocaust. REFUSING! Turning them away and turning them over to monsters while today they take in millions of illegals who drain their resources and their welfare system and bring crime up in mega proportions. Europe, who would not protect it’s Jewish citizens are now inundated with aliens who use and abuse them. Gang rapes up by hundreds of percentage points in their nations, murders, robbery, their prisons bulging with these alien predators. They now replace the Jews you murdered and pushed out ..multiplied many times over.
Instead of grave mistake try substituting grave and willful sin. And They are YOUR REWARD.
Those 20 million are people YOU INVITED IN! Now live with it . Drink it in deeply and choke on it. This is what you preferred to Jews. Now enjoy it. Savor it..there is the main course still to come. Read the whole Essay Here
I said yesterday, this is not just a Moslem problem, and that the European Jew hating Christians have found a useful idiot in Islamists. They are equally to blame, for coddling these Merah like Islamists. They use the Palestinians to legitimise their hate.
It is time to stop pretending that it is only Moslems who are Jew haters because the tendency is for us ignore Christian anti semitism for fear of offending our Christian allies. That we have Christians who support Israel does not change the fact that there are radical brands of Christian right Jew haters, who coddle Islamists. This teacher is one such cockroach.
This makes them enablers because they they sympathise with and whitewash their hate through the media.

An English teacher sparked outrage across France today after calling for her pupils to observe a minute’s silence for Toulouse serial killer Mohammed Merah.
In disturbing scenes at Gustave Flaubert High School in Rouen, Normandy, Lorraine Collin, 56,described the 23-year-old who murdered seven including three children as himself being the ‘victim of an unhappy childhood’.
