What Fjordman describes is actually taking place (in various degrees) in most European countries, or what some here refers to as the “old Europe”. Perhaps the “economist” mentalities across Europe that once visualized a no-borders commonwealth of services and trade, were only counting the coins without regard to the lesson of history.
The clock is so far ahead winded that there’s no turning back, unless of course unrest develops of biblical proportions.
As an example, the German government is been accused of discriminating by requesting that those of Islamic religion fill up a form when applying for German citizenship, declining certain acts that although normal in their place of origin, they are in violation of laws or antisocial within Germany.
Basically, if Muslims don’t like alcohol or those who consume it, ladies in mini skirt, sexual equality, women bosses or pork eaters. Why do they want to live in such a devil’s place?
Why to live in misery surrounded by millions of sinners?
In addition to the religion factor, there’s the east-block factor. The majority of families that have moved into the west from oppressed Easter European countries, had nothing more then a better standard of living and general prosperity in their minds. However, an ever increasing number of “singles” are capitalizing on open societies by creating gangs involved in common theft and extortion as well as human trafficking. Unlike the Muslim counterpart, they have no interest in reviving their customs on foreign land; they simply want to capitalize on it.
When the collective sentiment of society grow discontented towards the lack of adaptation and the respect of their land by foreigners. It results in various degrees of discrimination. The native citizens are portrait as the violator and the foreign identity as the victim. The old Europe is next victimized to change their social laws, to shoulder the economic burden and to disarray their own social order that has taken thousands of year and endless wars to accomplish.
There’s really no nice side to the picture.
