re: #534 The Sanity Inspector

Back on topic for a moment. Those are certainly some sordid doings Charles has presented us. However, I’m not ready to replace my Stand With Denmark banner with a Coexist one yet. Expatriate journalist Bruce Bawer, who lives in Scandinavia and speaks several northern European languages fluently, has this to say about the situation in the Netherlands, which may easily apply to that in Denmark:

I honestly have trouble figuring out how bad the situation in parts of Europe may or may not be. So many people who have written of a rising ride of Islamic violence have themselves turned out to be racists or nutjobs, or self-promoters.

I can see the big, well-publicized situations for myself—van Gogh, or this business a few days ago with the cartoonist—it’s the degree to which there is a real problem, religious or cultural and not just yoots acting out, with a critical mass of Muslim immigrants. I can’t assess.

And I tend to keep a critical eye for this sort of thing—I hear crap all the time about Latino immigrants in my own area, which I can see with my own eyes is crap. Given that there is now a while little scholar’s cottage industry in being Chicken Litle about Islam in Europe—how does one assess? How do any of you? Genuinely curious about this.
