The West, ever keen to appear to be tolerant, compassionate and inclusive, is quite willing to allow Muslims of all stripes into their lands.
If this were just an isolated incident, a one-off event, then not much more should be said. But if this is part of a much bigger picture, and just one example of a recurring pattern, then we should all be very concerned.
In fact, it is the very point being made in several new books.
For example, Sam Solomon and Elias Al Maqdisi make this case in
Modern Day Trojan Horse: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration.
Indeed, an earlier volume by the same two authors argued how important the mosque in Western nations is to this overall process.
In
The Mosque Exposed, they highlight how the Islamists use the mosque to teach, foment and recruit for violent jihad.
In their newer book they document how Western immigration policies are being exploited by these radicals, and how they use such things as taquiya, or deception, to achieve these aims.
Other new books also describe this process. For example, Christopher Caldwells new book,
Reflections on the Revolution In Europe: Immigration, Islam, and the West, examines how changing demographic patterns in the West, especially Europe, are part and parcel of this greater strategy of Islamic hegemony.
Caldwell documents how Western governments are squeamish about appearing to be intolerant or unwelcoming, so they often become their own worst enemies, by allowing the detractors of the West to freely enter their lands, set up shop, and work out their long-term plans.
