It’s all too easy to look at someone who seems to have the same goals as you to be an ally. Such is the case in the recent blog war over Charles Johnson’s calling out some parties in the anti-jihad movement as being racist and neo-Nazi. Far too many people were so happy to see some sort of reaction in Europe against the Islamification Movement that they refused to see that some of the players are neo-Nazis. As Babbazee shows in her post.
Europe is faced with a compound problem. Not only do they have an illegal immigration problem, it is also one in the same as the spread of Radical Islam. On a continent where the communal ties that bind…religion, culture and nationhood…have been altered or abandoned in the post World War year’s Pan-Europe movement once despised neo-nazi groups are transformed and made over. Desperately people come to them as the last vestiges of what made Europe the birthplace of Western Civilization is seemingly being washed away.
As we here in America face some tough decisions about immigration reform and the growing influence of Radical Islam we have to make sure that we do so without playing into the hands of racists. They are out there hiding amongst legitimate groups where sometimes the rhetoric comes very close to intolerance.
As Gaius at Blue Crab Boulevard says
A high fence, a wide gate and a hearty welcome for people who play by the rules.
And ,to me, a swift kick in the ass to those that don’t and those that want to use us for their own nefarious purposes.
