Fair enough Evo, point taken.
The problem as I see it is that unless something is done to stop mass immigration into Europe from the Middle East and North Africa, Europe will see a significant rise in both Islamic extremism and the inevitable far right response mainly due to mainstream political parties burying their heads in the sand.
Have you heard of Tommy Robinson? He was the leader of the English Defence League, widely regarded as a far right street protest movement. It's not until I listened to his speech at the Oxford Union, Oxford University I realised he was anything but a far right moron.
What I discovered was that he's actually a very brave person who stood up to hardline Islamists who spread their hate throughout the UK.
To this day Robinson is portrayed as a social pariah by the mainstream British media, police and the courts.
He not only confronted hardline Islamists but had to confront Nazis who wanted to seize control of his organisation from outside the UK (Germany)
His story is a warning about the dangers of institutionalised political correctness and the failure of the British establishment to confront extremist Islamists in the UK.
If you don't have the time to watch it skip to 32.10 to see what finally pushed (after years of concern) Robinson into setting up the EDL - it was basically the sight of a notorious hardline Islamist group brazenly converting a 11 year old English kid to Islam in front of one of the largest shopping malls in the UK (video clip)
I think many Americans would be shocked at what's been happening in Europe over the last 20 years.
