Europe is inundated with Muslim migrants. There is social
unrest – see New Year's Eve mass sex attacks by Muslim men on European women –
and terrorism. See Paris.
Many on the left insist that America is to blame. America
invaded Iraq. If America had not invaded Iraq, there would be no migrants.
The "It's all America's fault; this is happening
because of the Iraq War" Is a big, fat lie.
How do you know it's a big, fat lie?
You know it's a big, fat lie because
1.) The majority of the migrants are not coming from
Iraq. In fact they are not coming from countries against which America has engaged
in military hostilities, example, Eritrea, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria, Senegal,
Gambia, Syria, etc. Chart linked below.
2.) The Islamization of Europe began in the 1960s, not in
the 2000s. These events have been brewing for a long time.
3.) European policy and European choices shape the
migration, the Islamization, and the social unrest. Europe asked for this, and
Europe got it.
Why are Leftists telling big, fat lies about the
migrants? Because "truth is that which serves the party." Because
leftists want power. Because they are at war against the West and big, fat lies
– propaganda – are their weapon.
Here's the leftist strategy: If something bad happens –
anything bad, anywhere in the world – do not blame proximate causes or actors.
Find some way to pin blame on the West: America, Christianity, white men. If
you stub your toe, it is America, and George Bush's, and the pope's fault.
How did so many military-age Muslim men end up in Europe?
And why are so many of them behaving destructively?
Because Europeans invited them, and because Europe handled
them very badly.
Here's the history:
Nazi Germany committed unspeakable crimes against
humanity in the name of racial purity.
After the war, Europeans decided that racism was the
worst sin and that "tolerance" and "diversity" and
"multiculturalism" were the highest virtues.
Translation: Europe is guilty and bad. Western
Civilization is guilty and bad. Anything other than Western Civilization is
benign.
Also after the war, Europe needed to resurrect
economically. For that, Europe needed workers.
Europe had suffered two catastrophic, population-reducing
wars back to back: World War I and World War II. Before those wars, there had
been mass migration to America from Eastern and Southern Europe. Europe was
*depopulated.* It needed people.
Too, after the war, European women's birth rates
plummeted. Western European women have some of the lowest birth rates in the
world. The birth-rate per woman in Germany is 1.38.
Also, Europeans voted in socialist programs. The famous
"free health care" and guaranteed employment and lengthy vacations.
Someone had to pay for all those social programs.
Europe had colonized Muslim-majority countries. France
had colonized Algeria and Morocco. England had colonized what would become
Pakistan – in fact England participated in creating Pakistan, a country that
had previously never existed. Spain had also colonized Morocco. Holland had
colonized Indonesia.
These Western European countries had ties with overseas
Muslim populations.
Germany officially invited Muslim workers from Turkey.
They were called "gastarbeiter" or guest workers. Other countries
invited in their former colonial subjects.
Muslims, for their part, were more than happy to leave
their homelands. In Muslim-majority countries following Muslim custom, Muslim
women and girls are often pressured, if not forced, to marry young and to
produce many children. Many Muslim countries are stagnating economically. There
are not enough jobs for booming populations. Muslim men wanted to go overseas
to get work.
Conspiracy theorists on the right will tell you that the
Muslim migration to Europe is part of a plot of Muslims to take over the world
through migration, aka "hijra." It's true that some Muslim clerics
speak of this, but if the economic push and pull factors were not there –
poverty at home and jobs abroad – they would not be traveling.
Once these poor Muslims arrived in Western Europe,
Western Europe did not invite them to assimilate. Rather, it encouraged them to
live apart from mainstream European society. Many commentators say that this is
because while Western Europeans were ostensibly "tolerant" and
"diverse," they really didn't like their new Muslim neighbors, and
kept them apart out of disdain. So, Muslim-only neighborhoods, and no-go areas,
were born.
Also, some commentators say that Europeans were engaged
in a kind of virtue competition with America. They saw America, in the 1960s,
struggling with Civil Rights. They wanted to prove how "tolerant"
Europeans were, so they invited Muslims *not* to assimilate to prove their own
tolerance to alien cultures.
There are numerous books about this process; read one. A
few good ones are listed below.
