More on Bush in Europe, and Muslims in Europe

Further to my post of a few days ago, Mark Steyn is in typically trenchant form today in forecasting the demise of Europe, while a lengthy article in the London Sunday Times sketches the depressing situation in the Netherlands, where militant Muslim immigrants have caused a crisis for which there seems no easy solution, except, maybe, emigration. Scary stuff. Final paragraph:

Is Europe giving way to blackmail? The question was raised in Germany last month by an article in Die Welt, the country's most heavyweight paper, by Mathias Dúpfner, head of the big Axel Springer publishing group. He titled it Europe — Thy Name Is Cowardice. He said that a crusade is under way "by fanatic Muslims, focused on civilians, directed against our free, open western societies" that is set upon the "utter destruction" of western civilisation. This enemy, he said, was spurred on by "tolerance" and "accommodation", which were taken as signs of weakness. Europe's supine response, he said, was on a par with the appeasement of Hitler.

One month later (31/03/2005): 

I must update this post with a pointer to a significant discussion on this and related topics on the Austin Bay Blog, (including a lengthy blog comment from Mark Steyn himself, expanding on his views), initiated by this post on London Calling, a blog I stumbled across by accident (isn't that the way it always happens?), but which maybe needs more frequent perusal.
