That's Tim Blair's headline on a post which draws a parallel between the decision concerning Minneapolis airport official's decision that multiculti tolerance had reached a limit and an International Herald Tribune article entitled Moderate Europeans losing faith in Islam.
Two swallows don't make it spring but it is nice to see the IHT acknowledge that Islam might be just a tad incompatible with progressive fantasy. The IHT piece is otherwise a typical progressive thumbsucker but there is just a teeny hint that giving muslims in Europe the boot may be necessary to maintain the multiculti delusion. The muslims in Europe might want to read up on the progressive's solution to the problem of the existence of Kulaks. Fooling around with progressive fantasy can be harmful to one's health.
Even the NYT had a story yesterday on Europe's changing mood. What more proof do you need?
ReplyDeleteI have said before these folks like their lifestyles.
ReplyDeleteBut the thing aobut Europeans that worries me is that they have two speeds, reverse and full throttle. I wonder if they will go too far in the opposite direction?
fyi: i had this on TUESDAY:

i tied it into sarkozy coming out against turkey's admission to the EU.
i agree with peter uk: "this was simply a piece social engineering by the liberal leftist ruling elite..."
The people will revolt and use vigilantism if their governments do not do what neds to be done.
sarko knows this, too.
Well,
ReplyDeleteI don't think it *started* as social engineering. There was a heck of a lot of work to be done in France and Germany back in the day. When I spent a summer working on a nursery up near Hamburg in 1965 the hours were long, 10 hrs/day, the pay wasn't that hot, the exchange rate was four marks/dollar, and almost all the workers came from Spain, Italy, and Africa. Clearly things have changed since then, with there being less work, more emigration, and better benefits.
i think it's a stretch for the multi-cultis to grasp,
ReplyDeletebut the YARGB crowd might appreciate this article:

Kraft decribes what many of us,
reading about Islam and the Quran,
have known for some time.
BTW,the link above was prompted by the "Two swallows don't make it spring" in Rick's original post.
ReplyDeletethe number of nations showing they are awake is still way too small,imo.
the number of recent articles pointing out the "death by a thousand cuts" KJI,the Chavistas,Ahmanutter,NoKo,
Putin,Hu Jintao,et al are all hoping for,also points out how many in the US are still sleeping.
