Muslims are the only immigrant group who come to the West with a ready made model of society they believe to be superior to Western law and they work furiously, by all means, to impose it. Under Islam, shariah (Islamic) law supersedes Western law. Anywhere Western law and Shariah law conflict, it is always Western law that must give way. What those of us working in defense of freedom did not expect, was the craven capitulation and cowardice by Western left elites to Islamic supremacy.
Western Europe’s Muslim problem
Muslim migrants arrived in the industrialized Western European states after World War II, many from the countries that were formerly colonial possessions.

The streets of major Western European cities are occupied territories.
Radical Muslim gangs who harbor a hatred for Western culture and believe Islam is the answer for all bear a visceral and violent antisemitic hatred for Israel and Jews. The pogrom perpetrated by Arab and Turkish Muslims against Israeli and Jewish fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team in Amsterdam earlier this month illustrates the point. Local law enforcement feigned efforts to contain the aggressive hordes, which did not prevent the severe beating of scores of Israelis and Jews and the hospitalization of six. For many people, the images out of Amsterdam conjured up images of the evil perpetrated by the SS Nazi Germany and the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 1938. Attacks on Jews and Israel are now widely evident in other major Western European cities, including Berlin, Brussels, London, Madrid and Paris.
Referring to the recent pogrom, there were kind words from the King of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander, who told Israeli President Isaac Herzog, “We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again.” Geert Wilders, leader of the largest party in the Dutch parliament, blamed Moroccan Muslims for the attack on the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans. He noted that the Muslims do not hide the fact that they want to destroy Jews and recommended the deportation of those people convicted of involvement in the pogrom if they have dual nationality.
Muslim migrants arrived in the industrialized Western European states after World War II, many from the countries that were formerly colonial possessions. Algerian, Moroccan and Tunisian Muslims landed in France and in Belgium (since French was also widely spoken there). Turkish Muslim temporary laborers were brought to Germany and never left. The Netherlands became home to Indonesian Muslims. South Asian Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims settled in Britain. Many of those early Muslim settlers sought a quiet life, economic betterment and freedom.
The revival of Islamic strength—with Saudi Arabia accumulating unimaginable oil riches and power in the 1970s—created an initial stirring, followed by the 1979 Islamic Shi’ite revolution in Iran, and the defiance against the Western world and its culture. The mayhem in Iraq and the endless terror in the aftermath of the Bush administration’s 2003 war that deposed Saddam Hussein eliminated the secular Sunni-Muslim rule in Iraq and led to Shia-Muslim supremacy and Iran’s stranglehold on Iraq.
