Arguments in favor of admitting more Muslim refugees to
Europe and to America often boil down to the notion that they are all: “just
like us.” After all, we all have the same DNA.
It’s a variant on citizen-of-the-worldism. But it also shows
that today’s European and American multiculturalists do not believe that Western civilization is worth defending. They do not mind seeing it overrun by people
who despise it.
Over at the Legal Insurrection blog, Vijeta Unival reports
the results of a survey of Muslim youth in Austria. It turns out that they are
not just like us. They want to practice jihad and they hate Jews and gays.
Hmmm.
He writes:
“Anti-Semitic,
homophobic and sympathising with Jihad.” This is how a leading Austrian
newspaper summed up the latest study looking
into the attitudes of young Muslims living in the city of Vienna. The
study commissioned by the city reveals that nearly one-third of the Muslim
youth living in the Austrian capital hold radical Islamic views and support
armed Jihad against the West.
The
leftist coalition running the city attacked the findings of the study that yet
again reveal the clutching hold of Islamism over Europe’s migrant Muslim
population. The study also exposes the failure of Multiculturalism, a policy
pursued for decades by Social Democrats and ecological Green Party, who run the
Austrian capital.
The
study also highlights Europe’s
lingering Anti-Semitism. 33 percent of all young Viennese respondents held
negative opinion of Jews — among Muslim respondents that number was 47 percent.
Those are their minimal differences. There are plenty more in terms of political and civic culture which should disqualify them from US entry or entry to any Westernized nation. You are right to say they despise us; I despise them too. But I would also kick them out of the US given the opportunity, Emma Lazarus notwithstanding.

"...shows that today’s European and American multiculturalists do not believe that Western civilization is worth defending. They do not mind seeing it overrun by people who despise it." The multicultis think they can live in their gated enclaves and avoid all the unpleasantness. They will find the error of their ways, and it will be really ugly.
ReplyDelete"We are all the same" is just a political pseudopodium extended from the radical materialist "tabula rasa" philosophy. Frankly, they say the same - equally untrue - thing about dogs, encouraging people to adopt pound animals.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, you'll find the same people pounding the table in favor of "diversity", and caught in the grip of political personality cults.

If "we are all the same" does that mean I can wear a tiny sombrero for Halloween after all?
It is interesting, knowing the overall great intelligence, competence, ambition of Jews as individuals and collectively, that no Jew has become president of the United States. I suppose Joe Lieberman as Gore's Vice presidential candidate is the closest we've come, and the Gore-Lieberman ticket did get the most votes, even if not a majority.
ReplyDeleteIts hard to guess the factors, whether Jews would be discriminated against as racial prejudice, or if perhaps Jews are more content to be the smart people behind the scenes?
I know atheists feel they are a minority group that is discriminated against, and basically can't run for office, unless they fake some sort of "faith" that matches their upbringing.
Or in general discrimination based on religion and discrimination based on race or physical attributes might be interesting to try to separate.
My House representative for Minneapolis is Keith Ellison, a self-declared Muslim, but he grew up here, and as a black man, comes from the Detroit connection for Aftican Americans who became Muslim to rebel against Slavery which was enabled by Christianity. or something like that. It seems hard to imagine myself.
But ultimately whatever your religion or physical appearance, if you can talk like an American (or European as your locale varies), you can be accepted, and if you try to emphasize your differences, you're going to be less trusted.
Even accents cause problems, like Al Gore's dad as Al Senior had a southern accent which apparently prevented him from being accepted as a presidential candidate.
Its perhaps strange or miraculous that a large country can agree at all on a single leader.
And at the moment, the Right seems determined to consider Hillary as an illegitimate president no matter how large her landslide over Trump. I don't know if Democrats would consider Donald Trump as an illegitimate president if he somehow won a 43% victory in a 5 way race. I expect more they'd consider him a true blue America, just one who happens to be a loose cannon and a dunce, without the charm of George W.
As it happens, Bill Clinton got about 43% of the vote in '92, and few, if any, people considered him a true Red American. If anything, Clinton is more Trumpish than Trump.
