Much of this problem is attributable to a naive immigration policy -- allowing the nation's doors to remain open to the historic enemies of Jews is a terrible foolishness. Elevated numbers of Muslim immigrants in Europe correlate directly with increased anti-Semitic violence there. Pundit Dick Morris remarked a few weeks ago that Europeans support Palestine because they are terrified of the millions of Muslims now in their societies.

Remarkably, visas and immigration from Middle Eastern countries continue as if September 11 had never happened (more than 50,000 visas given in seven months after 911). Increasing numbers of Muslim immigrants present a dangerous anti-Jewish force, both politically and in terms of basic physical safety. America is now the last safe place on earth for Jews, but that refuge could end if Muslim immigration continues.
