"Ironically, creating a hugely desirable place to live would also seem a recipe for suicide".

This is a very powerful statement. The root of the problem is Muslim immigration, as I have said over and over again, in my posts. If Italy and Spain could reduce the number of illegal immigrants, half of our problems would be solved. Of course, the greatest threat is Turkey becoming a EU member. But, let me tell you something new, something I have not said before. We need to make Europe a less desirable place to live for Muslims. For example, when a local authority receives a request to authorize a mosque to be built, it should deny the permission. France and Holland are on the right truck, with their anti-veil stance. Europe needs to be less liberal and it needs to become a nasty place to live. At that point, the appeal of coming to Europe, living in Europe will vanish.
