That Danish story reinforces my primary theses involving the growing danger of Islamic Fundamentalism; Demographics.

And it highlights the situation where excess Muslim individuals, lacking economic and political opportunity in their own countries, are encouraged to migrate to the west, obtaining not only welfare benefits, but also providing fertile ground and cover for terrorist networks.

This is NOT a trend that will reverse itself for 10-20 years if ever.

And how the west creates immigration and economic policy dealing with the issue, or how the demographics PREVENT the such formation of such policies, will be a major theme unto itself over the coming years.

It's one thing to provide an economic buffer for economically dysfunctional countries, but quite another for those governments to use such emigration as a means of subverting and attacking the west.
