Immigration and multiculturalism, we are told in a never-ending bombast of propaganda, enrich our culture. That means, at a minimum that this is a positive thing. Isn’t that so as a point of logic?
As another point of logic, does it not follow that there can therefore be negative aspects of immigration and multiculturalism? How could it be otherwise because if there are positive benefits, this opens up the possibility of negative ones as well. But, as we all know, the negative effects are ignored by the new class because they are, “inconvenient truths.”
We do not ignore them, and offer the photograph of “Linda,” a European victim of migrant crime, as something to consider: http://www.vdare.com/letters/a-reader-asks-about-the-fate-of-a-swedish-victim-of-immigrant-rape.
If you do not “feel it,” then maybe you don’t feel at all. Indeed, following on from the London attacks, we had the circus of the politically correct in the Senate taking Pauline Hanson to task for her claims of a link between the attack and Islamic migration.
However, she is not alone, for Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo, another strong political woman, said that it was impossible not to link the London terrorist attack to Europe’s migration policy: https://www.rt.com/news/382044-polish-prime-minister-london-attack/. She then argued that the attacks justified Poland refusing to take refugees, and slammed the “blackmail” that the EU migration commissioner was engaging in. Poland has refused to take 6,200 refugees allocated to it by the EU.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka, deputy adviser to President Donald Trump, said that an upstanding citizen on Monday, does not suddenly become a jihadi on Tuesday: http://www.breitbart.com/radio/2017/03/23/gorka-upstanding-citizen-immigrant-monday-doesnt-decide-become-jihadi-tuesday/. The article notes: There’s always a progression. There’s always a digestion of jihadi ideology. There’s always some kind of statement of sympathy for the things that the bad guys are doing. That’s how we find them. That’s how we prevent the next attack,” he declared.
Kassam argued that left-wing empathy for terrorists as oppressed people striking back against unfair foreign policy, economic deprivation, or religious discrimination nourishes the sense of grievance that fuels extremism. He also noted that Islamic leaders like Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have a habit of describing refugees and immigrants as an army ready to rise up against evil Europe, which is at odds with the Left’s insistence that refugees are harmless in any quantity, from any point of origin.”
“The bottom line is this doesn’t happen because of grievances. This doesn’t happen because of unemployment or under-education. It happens because evil walks the earth. The Left will deny that. Their multiculturalism, their post-modernist relativism, denies the existence of evil. That’s why they were unqualified to fight this threat,” Gorka was quoted as saying.
The idea that being born in a country magically leads to assimilation and thus strips away any potential for terrorism, is simply not true, former UN ambassador John Bolton has said in relation to the London bombing: http://www.breitbart.com/radio/2017/03/23/bolton-london-born-english-soil-doesnt-strip-potential-islamic-terrorism/. He said: “If you go back to the London transportation attacks of 2007, those were all carried out by people born in Britain, as well. That to me is more terrifying than refugees or immigrants coming in because it proves, whether for Britain or the United States, you can be born in a free country, you can grow up experiencing all the possibilities and freedoms that these systems bring, and you can still consciously reject it all and turn to terrorism. That worries me more than the immigrants, frankly.”
We do not get common sense stated like that by our low-grade chattering and new class here in Australia, who still have a glaze eyed view of multiculturalism.
