#1 Borille then reached into his wallet and proudly pulled out a picture of the late Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini: "With him, in just one week these people wouldn't exist anymore."

This is an interesting story because it certainly indicates a shift in attitude. This comment seems fake to me. But then, I don't know, maybe they still do walk around with photos of Mussolini in their wallets. But true or not, it is simply not something that would have made it to print more than one year ago. Muslims in Italy should note it with concern. I'd even go so far as to say that it might be wise for them to get out. You can feel the winds change before a storm hits.

Someone here once said that these changes don't come gradually - but in lurches. I think there has been a lurch.

#3 Quite possibly, a decade from now the ONLY non-Islamic country in which Muslims will be tolerated may turn out to be ...

the US.

Provided they are willing to assimilate sufficiently. I'm with anon - the veil is a step too far, especially when it is adopted by converts here and worn as an overt challenge to all that the country stands for.

#5 Immigrants and their "demands". Just like the ones in the U.S., they forget one small detail; nobody asked them to come.

#6 Not sure that's true in Europe, tho. The Swedes WANTED a lot of immigrants in the 60s, 70s and 80s, to fill blue collar jobs. Didn't entirely work out that way, but they wanted them for that purpose.

Ditto the Turkish "guest workers" in Germany.

#7 Immigrants and their "demands".

Interesting. It used to be that demands were something placed on immigrants, not "by" them. The old ways are better.
