Refugees and Multiculturalism: The Impact on France, Germany and Belgium

*Update 3-22/16 and 1-15/16.  Brussels Under Attack. Original article on 11-24/15 written below.  Cologne sexual assaults.  These were predictable and many warned Merkel of adding a million new refugees to a continent where multiculturalism has failed. Whether new migrants or older immigrants,  the Muslim culture is at odds with the values of Europe.  Challenge the spin about this not being about the new refugees and focus on the numbers and failure of multiculturalism. I did miscalculate the time it would take for the blowback to occur. The Sunni Streets are exploding in Europe as we speak.*

Original Article 11-24/15
There is quite the debate raging in Europe and the US on refugees and terrorism.  The UN and Amnesty International crowd are trying to spin the issue around "don't blame the refugees for terrorism".  However, this is a false debate intended to distract from the real issue of "home grown" terrorism:  multiculturalism.

But the evidence seems overwhelming that the states of Western Europe, most notably France, Germany and Belgium, have failed at their experiment in multiculturalism.  Muslims are not integrating because they refuse to accept a culture that is alien to them.

Consider Belgium. Decades ago, they encouraged migrants from Morocco to immigrate to work in the steel mills and coal mines.  This first generation was not the problem, they were generally appreciative of their opportunity. But as numbers grew, the second and third generations rebelled against that culture. Today, we are witnessing the "blowback".

Is it any wonder the countries that house the largest Muslim populations in Western Europe are in lockdown mode; their citizens are uneasy about their futures and they feel their way of life slipping away.  It is the countries with the largest contingent of Muslim citizens (France, Belgium, Germany, Spain and Britain) that have a disproportionate number of citizens fighting for the cause in Syria.  Many are vulnerable to "radicalization".

This cannot be said of Czech republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and others in the East.  They did not see the light of Muslim multiculturalism, and while wishing Western Europe "luck", never embraced the idea.   Eastern Europe, as a result, does not have these types of problems.  They have maintained their culture, their security and their "way of life" (which I can personally say is priceless).  Nor are their citizens fighting in Syria or blowing up buses.  There are no cultural clashes in the lands of Visegrad4.

Which begs the question:  How prudent is it to allow a limitless supply of undocumented, young, male migrants -- without even knowing who they are first -- to roam Europe at a time when many current Muslims here already are not assimilating?  Is anyone willing to state that France or Belgium does not have major problems with this?

The lax border control, mass undocumented immigration, fake passport trade, and presence of terrorists who wish to "blend in" are real dangers and will pose an immediate security threat to Europe.  But the real blowback and impact may be felt five to ten years from now when Angela Merkel's "vision" for the EU morphs into the "Sunni Streets".

Pontificating about "we can do it" is no substitute for rational thought; for what type of "values" risk the security of your own citizens in the name of "humanity".
