Reading this through, sadly it became clear that what you were saying is spot on. Something that an adequate fraction of Europe has come to realise, something that apparently foreigners have come to realise, but something that leading politicians fail to see or admit.

In my opinion, there are two factors contributing to islamisation in Europe:
- a lack of control systems for such organisations, i.e. a system which relies too much on good faith
- a systematic “turning the other cheek”-effort of mishaps they [Muslim organisations] happen to make.

Now, it’s self-evident that not all Muslims are criminals or whatever, but it’s less evident that a larger fraction of them are, as confirmed by independent studies.

Again, two factors contribute to this:
- The fact that immigrant families live in linguistic and relative financial isolation, plus often the lack of education (had as well as stimulated)
- The over-aiding of minorities.

A little guidance on this last issue: minorities must, of course be protected in case a majority tries to overcome them in any unnatural way. The sad truth, however, is that these minorities are given carte blanche by the authorities. Not only that, but whatever they do do, they’re subsidised for it.

In effect, what Europe needs now is right-wing governments, e.g. Sarkozy in France. This slightly opposes the informal fundaments upon which the EU was built, being libert√©, egalit√© et fraternit√©. However, anything opposing these values, be they from outside or within, should be dealt with accordingly, and that is what’s failing to happen today. Right-wing parties are gaining ground, but what is the need and what, and the populace is starting to see the need for, is rationalist right-wing parties, not fascist or totalitarian parties. A sort of re√Øntegration of Muslims is necessary, not an eradication of them.

Needless to say right- and left-wing America are not comparable, right-wing Europe is still fairly left-wing to American standards.
