This will seem bigoted to many readers, but unless the United States faces some key facts, it will go the way that Europe is now going--and some people are going to be in serious danger of having their heads chopped off.
Earlier this week, a Bosnian youth shot up a shopping mall in Salt Lake City, Utah, killing five before an off-duty police officer laid down enough covering fire to let the SWAT team move in. (The youth died in the fusillade.) No one even wanted to admit that this youth was Muslim. But tellingly,
the authorities cannot rule out terrorism as a motive.
This young man is a first-generation immigrant. And today,
Ilana Mercer tells us a hard truth: Muslims tend to drag in their old-country grievances when they immigrate to this country. Worse yet, they are as anti-Semitic over here as over there. (Surprisingly, they are
not the worst anti-Semites. That dubious distinction belongs to Latinos.)
Ms. Mercer goes on to warn the Jews that they are supporting their own would-be murderers, by continuing to support an open-border immigration policy.
Now you know why I said that some people are in danger of having their heads chopped off--unless we re-examine our immigration policy and
also re-examine our blanket tolerance of any "religious" tradition, no matter what sort of fighting words are in its very founding documents.
