Europe’s Islamo-Fascist Dilemma is Our Own

“It was a perfidious plan, filled with dark, hateful tirades. And, it was also planned down to the last detail. Part of it involved blowing up trains. The goal was simple: an enormous massacre of infidels.” So begins an excellent article in the German publication Der Spiegel entitled, “Radical Islam's rising war on Europe.”

The article continues:

“…al-Qaida in Europe is not an organization that readily lends itself to infiltration or wire-tapping. That's because al-Qaida is not a fixed structure, but rather an ideology that has managed to fascinate young Islamists from Gibraltar to Scandinavia. These young terrorists may know each other and even cooperate when it comes to logistics, but they operate in small, flexible independent groups, making them almost impossible to catch.”
“The Old Continent, once a place for Muslim extremists to withdraw and recuperate, has turned into a battlefield.”


“All over Europe mosques are being built, grandiose structures incorporating glass, marble and tall minarets, even in the most remote villages. Young Muslims learn the values of extremist Wahhabism in brand-new training centers.”

“Europe's open borders and tangled bureaucracy help terrorists”

The havoc of the recent attacks in Madrid and London will spread in Europe. In the near future, Europeans will experience a greater number of Islamo-Fascist attacks than Americans simply because the insular European Islamic community is more deeply entrenched than its U.S. cousin. But make no mistake, it will again manifest on U.S. soil.
