Shouldn’t the headline be “European Jews Wake Up Call”? Sad as it is for these people to abandon their ancestral homeland and everything they know, however, they should wake up and realize that there is no “Last Stand”, and “things will not get better”.

Fox&Friends this morning reported that a similar Mardi Gras type parade in Germany (I forgot which town), this year they banned images making fun of muslims. You can parody any other figure in the world, but one touch on those mooslems, you are banned. [According to local officials, it has nothing to do with freedom of expression. They just don't want to "provoke" violence.]

However, after spending the past week reading a lot of reports and watching the France2 coverage, I’m very very pessimistic.

Roger Simon has more, and points us to an important article by Nidra Poller @ IsraPundit:

“No longer able to deny or play down the racial motive, the investigation is entering a new phase. One of the most troubling aspects of this affair is the probable involvement of relatives and neighbors, beyond the immediate circle of the gang, who were told about the Jewish hostage and dropped in to participate in the torture.”

read the L.A. Times this morning. They do handstands trying to take any Muslim vs. Jew connatation to this sick crime. It’s just a gang thing. The fact that he was a Jew had little to do with it. “If they could have got a French Cop they would have done the same thong. That probably is true. But it was Muslim hate for the Jews inspired, they do absorb the Jew bashing that comes from Eurabia and the fact that they may be criminals on top of it does not eliminate the religous aspect of this crime. Hands over the eyes, hands over the mouth, hand over the ears. Denial, denial, denial, denial.

How many were those moderate Muslims we read about and see on PBS’ NewsHour opining about the outrageous insulting cartoons or writing letters to Le Monde?

Sadly, this one horrific death has to be added to the massacre of Theo Van Gogh in Amsterdam and all the other crimes and injustices mentioned in Bruce Bawer’s eye opening book “While Europe Slept.”

Shine the light of outrage and media disclosure for months and months, incident after incident, march after march, death after death. Then maybe . . . maybe, we will then really hear from the moderate Muslims.

“Dave. Yes, that’s exactly the point I am getting at…”

For a second there, I thought Caroline Glick herself had responded.

(Note to self. Read post carefully, THEN respond.)

Yes, that’s what I was getting at.

Call the damn thing by it’s name.

Islamic nihilism is – besides the perps – the real cause of this despicable act.

Yeah, sure, racism is bad and everything (really), but that’s NOT what this is about and I’m tired of people pretending that it is.

Excellent point. The march should have specifically named Islamic nihilism. Not to do so, is essentially just wasting time.

ìAccording to the press reports, the French government was at least partially motivated to suppress the issue of anti-Semitism because it feared inflaming the passions of the French Muslims who make up between 10 to 13 percent of the French population and comprise a quarter of the population under 25 years old.î

Do the math. France is finished. The country simply has too many Muslim radicals within its borders. Its “wake-up call” came too late.
