As a dissenting European, I can fully understand that one of the biggest threats to US security may now come from within Europe, as US Homeland Security head Michael Chertoff has told the BBC. He said militant attacks and plots in Europe over recent years had made the US aware of the "real risk that Europe will become a platform for terrorists".
However, with all due respect, he is wrong!
"Will become" is the wrong tense. Europe has ALREADY become a vast floating continental sized platform for Islamic terrorism. How could it be otherwise with the tsunami of Muslim immigration that has flooded Europe - most of which (in UK terms anyway) seem to have been uncontrolled? I know that European security agencies are doing their best to save our necks and I think we have to commend them insofar as that goes. It's the POLITICIANS that are the problem, the pathetic Euro-dhimmis who wish to pretend that Islam is our friend and that Jihadism is not something to worry about. Europe has a real problem centred on the refusal of the political elite to want to confront and defeat militant Islam.
That means that significant cells of Islamic terrorism can grow and wicked plans can be hatched. Naturally the US must see itself as a likely target, as Chertoff claims, however I happen to think that Islamic killers will be just as happy to slaughter us on the streets of Paris, or Rome, or London. (As already proven) The European political elite are the real obstacle here and I'm not sure that they are capable of rising to the challenge to stop Europe being one vast inculcator for Jihadism.
At least until the body count gets higher.
