Ivan Rioufol: The European Model Is Contested

The unhappiness and general malaise in Europe is usually discussed in economic terms, and Greece is the obvious example.. But surely the Europe-wide phenomena of waves of migrants from North African shores, the resulting welfare costs, and the expense of dealing with Islamic threats at every level, have effects on Europe’s sense of wellbeing —  both from the recent upsurge in Muslim  immigration and from those Muslim migrants in place for years who remain steadfastly unassimilated — that are much more than a matter of economics. Ivan Rioufol chooses to concentrate on the economics in his article on Greece here.

  1. Individual European nations will never ward off the Islamists if they remain part of the EU. The EU is politically and philosophically averse to describing and naming the threat, which is the first desideratum in a serious war against an ever more brazen Islam.

    We should keep an eye on how the responsible nationalist parties on the continent try to link the EU with the failure to confront Islamism. And are we approaching a point at which these parties can gain parity, if they’re not clownish or thick headed(as UKIP can certainly be) with the dominant parties
