Op-Ed: Paris Pays the Price of Europe's Inability to Recognize the Real Enemy
…
What happened in Paris on the horrifying night of Friday November 13, 2015, is Europe's chickens coming home to roost. For decades Europe turned a blind eye to the virulent humans rights violations of despotic, radical Islamic regimes across the Middle East. Within Europe, and across Western intelligentsia, a politically correct ideology took hold. Backed by an omnipotent politically correct mainstream media-- violent, misogynist, anti-Semitic, and anti-democratic rhetoric and behavior by radical muslims [sic] at home and abroad was either given a free pass, or got little to no media coverage. Meanwhile, Israel was singled out for biased, hypocritical and immoral condemnation. And by ignoring what is the real threat to Western civilization and democracy, Leonardo Da Vinci's immortal words turned into a devastating reality: "he who does not punish evil, commands it to be done.”
France, Europe, and the West will be making yet another terrible miscalculation, in the aftermath of this horrendous attack, if they interpret these attacks as only emanating from the Islamic State. The issue is much broader than that, and is a clash of civilizations (as the term was coined by Prof. Samuel Huntington), between democratic modernism and theocratic medieval barbarism. The West needs to recognize and acknowledge the enemy, namely radical Islamism. Sadly this is not a fringe movement, as PC ideologues would like to believe, and enjoys widespread and popular support.

Europe's 'Porous Borders' Increase Terror Risk, Head of Metropolitan Police Says
Europe's "porous" borders mean that terrorists could be able to "hide" among migrants coming from Syria, the head of the Metropolitan Police has warned as he criticised the Schengen agreement.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said that in the wake of the Paris terror attacks Europe has a significant "problem" because it has "millions of people wandering through" but only "limited control over the borders".
Asked if he is a fan of the Schengen agreement on open borders, he wants "good strong borders" to ensure that the police and security services can properly assess the risk people pose.
He told LBC Radio: "If you've got porous borders and you've got migrants coming through there's a risk that terrorists are hidden amongst them or people who become terrorists get hidden amongst them.

After Paris Attacks, a Darker Mood Toward Islam Emerges in France
Unlike the response in January after attacks at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and elsewhere left 17 dead, there were no grand public appeals for solidarity with Muslims after the Friday attacks that left 129 dead in Paris. There were no marches, few pleas not to confuse practitioners of Islam with those who preach jihad.
Instead, there was a palpable fear, even anger, as President François Hollande asked Parliament to extend a state of emergency and called for changing the Constitution to deal with terrorism. It was largely unspoken but nevertheless clear: Secular France had always had a complicated relationship with its Muslim community, but now it was tipping toward outright distrust, even hostility.
The shift could be all the more tempting because the government is struggling to find its footing politically as it is threatened on its far right by the anti-immigrant National Front party.
Already, tough talk from officials in the government shows them shifting rightward, calling for new scrutiny of mosques, extending the state of emergency and possibly placing restrictions on the 10,000 or more people loosely indexed as possible threats to the state. France needs to “expel all these radicalized imams,” Prime Minister Manuel Valls declared Saturday. » | Adam Nossiter and Liz Alderman | Monday, November 16, 2015

France Will Be in a State of Emergency for Three Months: Hollande Vows to 'Destroy' ISIS and Pledges 'No Barbarians Will Prevent Us from Living How We Have Decided to Live'
France will be in a state of emergency for the next three months and is now 'at war' with ISIS, Francois [sic] Hollande said today.
The French President told MPs in Paris he 'will destroy' the terror group by intensifying bombing raids on targets in Syria and is sending an aircraft carrier packed with jets this week.
In a speech at Versailles this afternoon Mr Hollande announced he wants a new UN Security Council resolution to fight ISIS, which could in theory lead to a coalition ground invasion.
He said: 'France is at war. No barbarians will prevent us from living how we have decided to live. To live fully. Terrorism will never destroy the republic, because the republic will destroy terrorism'.
To make France safer from future attacks he said he would change the law to revoke terrorists of their French citizenship and ban them from entering the country. Read on and comment » | Martin Robinson for MailOnline | Monday, November 16, 2015

Pegida-Demo: Mehr als 9000 Teilnehmer am Montagabend
Drei Tage nach den Anschlägen in Paris hat die fremdenfeindliche und antiislamische Pegida-Bewegung in Dresden offenbar etwas mehr Zulauf bekommen. Nach ersten Schätzungen der Studenteninitiative "Durchgezählt" kamen zu der Pegida-Kundgebung am Montagabend 9000 bis 12000 Menschen. Vor einer Woche hatte Pegida bis zu 8500 Anhänger auf die Straße gebracht.
Zum Beginn der Kundgebung vor der Semperoper legten die Demonstranten eine Schweigeminute für die Opfer der Anschläge in Paris ein. Einige Demonstranten trugen französische Fahnen mit Trauerflor. Es waren Plakate zu sehen mit Aufschriften wie "Je suis Paris", aber auch "Gestern in Paris - morgen in Deutschland". » | APA/AFP | Montag, 16. November 2015
