Why Muslim Communities in Europe Are Becoming More Radical Than in the Middle East

Victor Davis Hanson argues that Muslim populations in Europe are becoming more radical than those in the Middle East, citing factors such as liberal European values, immigration policies, and political weakness. He contrasts Europe's situation with the United States and criticizes European leaders for failing to address these issues, warning of a potential crisis.

Do you feel or do you agree with the statement that the war has revealed the strengths um of the in all the independent nations involved in the s this sense we now know that NATO some of those nations can't be relied on we're all sort of afraid of China and Russia and their strength just like Iranian strength and then the Middle Eastern nations the ones that are on our side have had to show their allegiances I guess as well. So it's made these things really clear. It revealed things but it also changed things. So the big loser here is Europe because they did not all they had to do is they could have just said look at what Greece is doing. Greece is letting the Gerald Ford, the biggest warship in history,

come into Suda Bay, a joint NATO base. They're not bragging about it. They're not condemning it. They're just letting the Americans come in there and fix the fire damage and the toilets and it'll be on its way. That was great. And Greece earned a lot of points. Why didn't Spain do that? Because it had to grandstand and so did France. We're not letting them. And the reason they and so did Italy. Maloney has lost all credibility with the Trump administration. Sad. Everybody liked her. That was unnecessary. Or she could have called up Trump and said, "I want to apologize, but I'm in a domestic jam. I got a crazy electorate. Is there any way that we could come in at night or something? But they didn't even make

that attempt. And so they thought they were really tough because the war was going to be Trump's Vietnam. Well, now it was never was going to be Trump's Vietnam. That was just a mythical unicorn that the left made. So now they're they're all impotent and they're all on the wrong side of the United States except countries like Greece, Eastern Europe, probably Finland, Sweden, the ones that matter now. So then they are bragging that they're going to make their own NATO now that we have to get ready if Trump gets out. He's not going to get out of NATO. He's going to say, "Can't hear you. Oh, you want to go into Serbia and you want to bomb all the Danu bridges again? Oh, we

did that once and did 80% of it for you. We got Oh, you want to go to the Faullands cuz you think Malle might take him again? Oh, can't hear you. Oh, oh, France, you've got some problems with Chad and you want airlift capacity and you want Oh, we can't hear you. Call us again. That's what they're going to do. Oh, Ukraine. Oh, it's on the border of Europe. Well, you want another $200 billion? We can't hear you. That's what it's going to be. And he's not going to say the United States is not honoring the NATO commitments. It's just he's going to say this. The United States has discovered that Europe has a new interpretation of NATO commitments and we agree they're fine commitments and we're going to emulate them and

that's what they're going to do. Britain has this week said that it's going to cut from its already impotent military. Uh 3.5 billion pounds. That's a huge cut on the military. Any thoughts? I don't understand it. They've got 40 admirals and they only have like 16 major ships. They had an aircraft carrier that was going to join us. Its propel like two years ago it propeller broke and just sat there. They attacked Acroyia and Cyprus. Iran did. Storm Ring said, "We're going to protect British interest." He said, "Their little destroyer was the only one operable." And then they said, "Well, we can't send it because it's the weekend and there's it would be too expensive to have Union

wages." So, they're I don't know. I It's disaster. Write a column about all the weird things that happened from this war. And one of them is you kind of rethink the Faullands because if you ask yourself under Stormer which country has more free speech now Malaise Argentina or Stormer which country has a more capitalist western economy which country has a more sane immigration policy which country ta is more pro-American Stormer who said this is not our war or Malay who said that he supported the United States and he said something very interesting the other day they asked him about the Falcon he said it's ours but we don't want to cause any trouble right now so for now we're just going to let it be but what I think he was saying is

there's going to be a lot of pressure on me because everybody is sick of the UK government and the question is not whether Stormer is an aberration but whether given in their population and changing demography if he's going to be the face of every prime minister in the future because he's very weak. I don't think the British understand how uh he is seen over here or what he's done to NATO. They all say Trump. But when you tell a US president who wants to, you know, stop this renegade anti-western regime from having missiles, especially nuclear tip missiles that can hit every European city. And they're willing to do it at on their own, as the German chancellor Mertz said, to do the dirty work. And

then you say, you make a soapbox speech and say that this is not a war and you're not going to help them. All he had to do is say, "Donald, would you please land at night and I will say I'm not aware of there's any unusual NATO joint activity." But he couldn't do that. He had to appeal to his Islamic population. The other thing very quickly about it is the Islamic population of Europe is much more radical than the Islamic population in most of the Middle in Egypt, in Jordan, and the Gulf States. So Europe is sitting on a volcano. It's not like they've had Middle East people who were moderate come. They've let in radical people who were political extremists that have come in and they get more and more radicalized when they

see how wealthy and affluent Europeans are, how sexually liberated they are, how tolerant they are, how therapeutic they are. or they look at them as sheep to be sheared. And it's not going to end well. I don't know why the country It's kind of like what Biden if Biden had not if Trump had not won, Camela Harris would have doubled down on the Biden immigration. Instead of these ICE riots, we would have had I don't know another 10 million. We would had 40 million illegal alienating. Instead of trying to round up 600,000 criminals, we'd have another million.
