Although the anti-American sentiment has gradually dissipated since the end of the Bush Administration, it's now growing slowly again during the Obama era. Europe scorns America's policies, yet it seems to be worried little about its own future, despite the fact that there are plenty of signs of the European empire slowly crumbling:

World Bank President Robert Zoellick recently told Spanish newspaper El País, "What began as a great financial crisis and became a great economic crisis is now becoming a great crisis of unemployment, and if we don't take measures there is a risk of a great human and social crisis, with major political implications."

Although unemployment is high and rising across all demographic groups, Europe's young workers have been especially hard hit. Throughout this decade, Europe has had higher rates of youth unemployment -- about 16 or 17 percent -- than the OECD average. But until recently, the rate was mitigated by a boom in short-term temporary contract work, which does not always require employers to offer expensive benefits. These jobs went, disproportionately, to young people. By some economists' estimation, they accounted for most of Europe's job growth in the past decade.

Moreover, youth unemployment, much more so than for older workers, carries dangerous social effects: social exclusion, depression, poorer health, social disruption, and higher incidences of crime, incarceration, and suicide. With every month a teenager is unemployed, for instance, his or her likelihood of being convicted of a crime increases.

Wait, what "European youth"? Oh yeah, the labour you imported from the third world. What a great recipe for disaster, especially knowing the record of assimilation in Europe is terrible. We won't have to wait very long before Paris burns again, and yet again our leftist leaders will have the opportunity to blame social factors like poverty, unemployment and anal sex during childhood. No one would dare to mention what Conservatives in Europe have been trying to explain for a decade: Welfare socialism and multiculturalism is a bad mix. What happens if you say it?

Last month’s EU election results saw the press reacting with horror at the rise of “far-Right” parties. However, while some parties (such as the anti-Semitic Jobbik, which created a paramilitary wing in 2007) are indeed far-Right, some others described as such, are, as Soeren Kern has observed, among “[…] the best allies that Jews (and Israel) will find in Europe today.”

Fascists, the far-Right, neo-Nazis and skinheads aren’t really fond of Israel, Jews, women’s rights, or gay rights. They aren’t interested in the West’s Judeo-Christian heritage, democracy, or freedom. As it turns out, they’re fond of Islamism. Islamism and Nazism have had an on-off relationship since the 1930s. However, only last year Abraham H. Foxman, the National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, observed a “[…] burgeoning relationship of far-right and Muslim extremists who increasingly are working together to promote anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial.”

But just as the West seems so thoroughly unwilling to support Iran’s democracy movement over the Islamofascist regime, so the same governments, political parties, and much of the media, have shunned moderates and reformers in Western countries. It is the extremists that the authorities appear keen to appease or promote, and the Islamic fascism of Hamas and Hezbollah that they appear keen to accommodate in their own countries.

This is why I recently noted that the European Right probably are the Jews' best friend. No one would pay any attention to that, because Israel has already been linked to oppression in Europe by the leftist elite, which essentially means it's as bad as Nazi Germany. Nevermind that it was the favorite victim just a decade ago. This is the logic of masochism that's tearing Europe apart and making it an inconsequential, impotent ally to America in the struggle for Western independence and momentum.

We're seeing an increasing religious radicalization in the Middle East, whose tentacles of suicidal force are spreading to Europe. You haven't forgotten the bombings in London and Madrid, and the Muhammad caricatures, have you? Sweden investigated Islamic fundamentalism in the pluralist suburb of Malmö, and came to the conclusion that while a minority of all Muslims were fundamentalist, they exerted great influence over the rest of the "moderate" Muslim citizens, to the point where the latter group lived a more fundamentalist lifestyle in Sweden than at home. Wait, that report was intolerant, so the media put a bin on the whole topic and everyone was told to mind work, family and mindless entertainment instead. Sorry we conducted that study.

Europe is weak, and radical forces can sense it far away. When a culture declares it's no longer willing to defend itself, some other culture will come along and dominate it. It doesn't really matter if that cultural force in itself is as weak and unstable as the current political and cultural climate in the Middle East, because it has got a demographic and will-powered advantage that Europeans don't have. It's nasty to say it, but it's worse not to mention it at all. America may right now be a decaying empire on its own, but while it is struggling to stay afloat on the world political scene as a dominant actor, Europe is increasingly transforming into Eurabia De Luxe. Who are we laughing at?
