First blood by the neo-fascists in Europe

The alarm in western capitals on Switzerland's vote against Minarets, is less to support Muslims' assimilation and more to register a public outing of the neo-Nazi trend that is gradually on the increase in UK, France and now in Switzerland. Yesterday, the Jews were the focal point for Fascist consolidation, today it is the Muslims and immigrants. Jewish commentators and analyst will have to temper their ingrained opposition to everything Muslim. The current phenomena in Europe's electoral scenario, should at least be very familiar to them.
