If, as this incident seems to prove, an individual can grow up and live the bulk of their life and all their formative years in a place like Denmark and still become a suicide bomber, then there’s absolutely no question, but that what was once called "assimilation" simply does not work and that Western culture is NOT nearly as “transformative” as many once thought it was. That seems to leave the only solution, the one that Geert Wilders, among others, have long advocated - keeping Muslims out of the West (Europe and North America ).

Somali Information Minister Dahir Gelle told the BBC that the bomber's parents, who live in Copenhagen
Reports say he left Somalia when he was a child and spent 20 years in Denmark , before returning to Somalia
So, when will the West wake up?
Well, given we didn’t even fully wake up after 9/11, the most likely answer is “probably never,” or at the least, “Not until it’s too late.”
As they say,something stinks in Denmark!
ReplyDeleteOr, something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
It's amazing that so many Americans STILL instinctively blame terrorism on poverty and ignorance, when Osama bin Laden is the wealthy, well-educated son on a construction mogul, Mohammed Atta was the engineer son of a very well-off Egyptian dentist and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab "The Christmas bomber") was the son of a prominent Nigerian banker!
ReplyDeleteMany of today's jihadists come from wealthy and privileged backgrounds and have been well-educated.
They are Muslim zealots and fanatics. Until we truly understand he threat we won't adequately be able to deal with it.
Today, we have war rhetoric along with a confused and confusing anti-terror strategy,one that looks to deal with terrorists as mere criminals, accorded the same rights as any other criminal, while at the same time sending in armed drones to eradicate scores of "susected terrorists!
It's a weirdd way o fiht terrorism. ADVANTAGE jihadists.
Sadly, I think you're right, JMK. The West won't wake up until it's too late, and maybe not even then. Shudder.
ReplyDeleteThe ONLY good news Seane-Anna is that more and more are waking up.
ReplyDeleteThe question is, WILL ENOUGH?
Too many of us have had life too easy for too long and actually fear offending others....even when those "others" are trying to kill us. That's the perverse sickness of the pathology called political correctness.
Until or unless we can overcome that and start making judgments again over what is RIGHT and what is WRONG....we will remain hopelessly ill-equipped to win this conflict.
