This is a follow up to posts about the NO GO zones. I find it chilling....
"A backdrop to the massacre in Paris on Wednesday by self-professed al Qaeda terrorists is that city officials have increasingly ceded control of heavily Muslim neighborhoods to Islamists, block by block.
France has Europe’s largest population of Muslims, some of whom talk openly of ruling the country one day and casting aside Western legal systems for harsh, Islam-based Shariah law.
The situation is out of control, and it is not reversible,” said Soeren Kern, an analyst at the Gatestone Institute and author of annual reports on the “Islamization of France.”
“Islam is a permanent part of France now. It is not going away,” Mr. Kern said. “I think the future looks very bleak. The problem is a lot of these younger-generation Muslims are not integrating into French society. Although they are French citizens, they don’t really have a future in French society. They feel very alienated from France. This is why radical Islam is so attractive because it gives them a sense of meaning in their life.”

The last paragraph bothers me. Everything I have read or seen expresses the CONSCIOUS DECISION to be separate, yet that is given as a reason for them becoming terrorists.
I may be just old and stupid, but we are doing this very same thing in this country. We do not emphasize the rule of LAW. Listen, I know that I keep saying that, but all the rhetoric about how we welcome immigrants is just words. We DID welcome them under certain conditions and they knew what had to be done.
Now, it seems, welcoming immigrants is the same thing as handing over some territory, giving up our language, and since this is not restricted to Muslims, we will forget your violation of law and demonstrate in the street to protest the consequences of your violating the law.
Why must we put up with this. Why must we be called ISLAMOPHOBIAS, or RACIST when all we want is for people to respect the laws of the country in which they live.
FRANCE, it appears just ceded things over because....well, not sure why they did...easier, more politically correct because if they ever cracked down on any of this behavior, they would have been called on the carpet worldwide, and in my opinion, even by the US.
Sometimes I feel fortunate to be older. The direction we are going is not promising for our young people, and it used to be that you KNEW WHEN YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED....now....it is just over time (as many of our enemies predicted in the past) a seemingly endless parade of giving up our nation to those who just do not want to obey the law.
Sorry for the long winded post....but..
so many editorials today worrying about backlash on any Muslims in this country, yet I recall NONE, or very few editorials worrying about backlash on our police while covering people breaking the law on national TV.
