While the world burns under the pressure of mass migration the Latte sippers chill out believing in a “we are all one ” paradigm that will be laughed at (with more than a few tears) by the future generations who will face a world where  Europeans become a minority people  in their own countries…

How did this mass immigration of people with few relevant job or language skills, and a culture deeply alien to Europe, come about? Caldwell argues that the post-World War II period saw a radical disjuncture in European attitudes. Europe had just been wrecked by an enemy, the Nazis, who were avowedly racist. The unimaginable disaster of the Holocaust haunted every discussion of morality or policy. Europe was in the throes of decolonisation and felt guilty about its relations with non-white people.

This made an ideology of anti-racism – which itself became extreme and distorted, detached from reality and in many cases downright intolerant – the more or less official state religion of Europe. This had little to do with really combating racism.

In one of history’s countless ironies, Muslim immigrants benefited from the legacy of the Jewish Holocaust. The determination initially to extirpate anti-Semitism didn’t help many European Jews because they were almost all gone, but it offered a template for Muslim immigrants to find and exploit an ethnic victim status. This set up profoundly destructive dynamics and, in another irony, reintroduced serious anti-Semitism to Europe, carried with the Muslim arrivals.

Caldwell suggests a welfare state makes a bad marriage with mass, unskilled immigration. Welfare rather than opportunity becomes the attraction. More importantly, welfare becomes a lethal poverty trap.

At the same time, satellite television, the internet and mass immigration from a few countries means the old culture is always on hand for Muslim migrants. They don’t need to integrate if they don’t want to or find it difficult.

If we want to keep the secular state and a diverse culture then we too have to be aware of the potential problems that the more crowded western nations are beginning to face now.  We have to do the work to address the problems  before those problems make a situation that is  insoluble.
