Spengler: Swamp-Draining Time

David P. Goldman, aka Spengler, writes in his pseudo-eponymous blog about Europe's efforts to control Islamic extremism among its populace.

The lesson of Copenhagan is the same as the lesson of Paris: the fragile social peace that European governments have maintained with their Muslim immigrant communities requires a fundamental revision. In the past, European security services let jihadists blow of steam while quietly culling potential killers. That has failed.

It’s no longer enough to patrol the edge of the swamp and kill mosquitos with fly-swatters. There’s no alternative to draining the swamp.

I doubt European nations have the stomach for what is required.
