Good Mark Steyn quote of the week: This spring, when reports began trickling across the Atlantic about rising anti-Semitism in Europe, I thought I ought to see for myself, so I spent a little while chugging round the Continent and then the Middle East. Although many Arab Muslims seemed victims of their own peculiar psychosis, the notorious "Arab street" struck me as a sleepy backwater compared to the palpable menace and visible violence of the Muslim quartiers in France, Belgium and Germany. As I said in my original column, many of the young Muslims in western Europe exhibit the worst traits of both Islam and the West. As the "root cause" of this new war is Islam's difficulty co-existing with modernity, we shouldn't be surprised that this manifests itself less in, say, Bangladesh or Indonesia than in Holland and Sweden, the epitome of the boundlessly tolerant post-nationalist liberal state. Across the Continent, indications are that second- and third-generation Muslims are far more estranged from the broader society than their parents and grandparents were. nationalpost.com
