Anti-Semitic Violence in Europe

You've seen stories about anti-Israel and anti-Jew demonstrations and violence in France, the U.K. and elsewhere in Europe. All have scrupulously avoided characterizing the rioters as other than pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel, in much the same way that U.S. media rarely characterize inner city perpetrators as black or Hispanic.

COTTonLINE has wondered whether European demonstrators were in fact Europeans or Muslim immigrant transplants. That is, Muslims who now live in the Paris suburbs, London or Berlin after moving there from the Islamic region.

An article in The Daily Mail (U.K.) answers the question, in the affirmative, without saying a word. See the accompanying pictures, the demonstrators all appear to be Middle Easterners. I appreciate The Mail's subtlety.

Europe nourishes a viper in its bosom. The day will soon come, if it isn't here now, when Europe will rue the wave of Muslim immigration it has accepted.
