Frightening but Prescient
Reader comment on item: Locus of Euro-hate

Dr. Pipes, I fear that your prediction of another Jewish exodus may be realistic. One thing that I would add to your warning is that Christians and even Jews take part in this new antiSemitism by deligitimizing Israel themselves. My feeling is that a continued European tolerance of immigrant Muslim fanaticism will have the reverse of its intended effect; as with the "Peace Process," political concessions meant to appease radical elements will actually embolden them. Terror alerts in several European capitals this holiday season along with the increasing jihadist presence in the Balkans illustrate the growing threat of Islamism in Europe. I hope that Europe does not wait for a spectacular attack before it heeds the warnings provided by you and a few other prescient analysts. I may not like the French, but I fear for their safety.
