Is forced multiculturalism to blame for second
generation Muslim killers? by Ann Corcoran on
June 14, 2016
While we spend
a lot of time yakking about vetting the first generation of Muslim migrants to
America, it is pretty clear it is the second generation we need to be worried
about. So much for America’s much ballyhooed magical melting pot! Cute
concept, or just a big lie?
When I saw this article yesterday at
the Washington
Times by Stephen Dinan
entitled: ‘Ultimate sleeper cell:
U.S.-born kids of immigrants are fertile jihadist recruiting grounds.’
I immediately thought of a report we featured here at RRW in our first
year—2007—about how multicultural, highly diverse neighborhoods don’t bring
about community cohesion, but, in fact, weaken bonds between people in their neighborhoods.
First, here is
what Dinan points out after referencing the Orlando fiend: He follows in the footsteps of Syed Rizwan
Farook, one of the San Bernardino, California, terrorists who was the son of
Pakistanis; Nadir Soofi, one of two men who attacked a drawing competition in
Garland, Texas, last year and whose father was from Pakistan; and then-Maj.
Nidal Hassan, the child of Palestinian immigrants whose shooting rampage at
Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 set off the modern round of deadly lone-wolf attacks.
He leaves out
the Boston Bomber brothers, the Chattanooga killer and those Somali youths thumbing their noses at the ‘good life’
in America as they join the jihad. Maybe humans are
all nativists?
Granted
Mohammed’s call to kill infidels is pretty strong, but what if it is especially
appealing to those who are completely mentally destabilized by having no
cultural roots. Don’t get me wrong, I am not making excuses. But, I’m
trying to say that human nature is such that we need roots. We need people
around us who share the same culture, the same values, the same history, who
grew up just like we did!
What if forced
multiculturalism is so disruptive that latching on to Islamic supremacism is
the only way these jihadists find stability (and Islamic leaders know it and
exploit this insecurity).
The Islamist
leaders (like CAIR) don’t really want to live in a diverse society any more
than some of us do. They are just more crafty in how they present their views
because they are assuming they will win in the end through migration and by
using our political process and the new American caliphate will be born
eventually. Why bother letting their Leftwing political friends know the
truth now.
Back to the 2007 report…..The report I’m thinking of is this
one—Robert Putnam’s ‘Bowling with our
own.’ (2007 article by John Leo, here): Harvard
political scientist Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone, is very nervous
about releasing his new research, and understandably so. His five-year study
shows that immigration and ethnic diversity have a devastating short- and
medium-term influence on the social capital, fabric of associations, trust, and
neighborliness that create and sustain communities. He fears that his work on
the surprisingly negative effects of diversity will become part of the
immigration debate, even though he finds that in the long run, people do forge
new communities and new ties.
Putnam’s study reveals that immigration and
diversity not only reduce social capital between ethnic groups, but also within
the groups themselves. Trust, even for members of one’s own race, is lower,
altruism and community cooperation rarer, friendships fewer. The problem isn’t
ethnic conflict or troubled racial relations, but withdrawal and isolation. Putnam writes: “In colloquial language,
people living in ethnically diverse settings appear to ‘hunker down’—that is,
to pull in like a turtle.”
In the 41 sites Putnam studied in the U.S., he
found that the more diverse the neighborhood, the less residents trust
neighbors. That is about
as far as I’m willing to go with this (I hate long esoteric discussions!) and
besides I’m not saying anything new, others have said it better than I can.
Calling Donald Trump! I do want to direct you (and The
Donald) to an excellent suggestion penned by Daniel Pipes in 2013. He had
the completely novel idea of resettling refugees in their own CULTURAL ZONES.
We wrote about it here,
and said this: Immigration
restriction advocates are always on the defense when dealing with the open
borders agitators demanding we should be “good” people and let ’em all
in. Pipes
has a suggestion—and we should all be promoting it in the media and with our US
Senators and Members of Congress—resettle Muslim refugees in their own “culture
zone” which Pipes calls “Arabia.”
We
can be tough now and propose something like Pipe’s plan….Or, our
other choice is to follow the political Left’s prescription, open our gates
even further and force multiculturalism mostly on white Judeo-Christian
communities. (They never force ethnic groups to welcome other ethnic
groups or white people to ethnic communities). We can wait for through about 4
generations of killings (Orlando) and by that time western civilization will be
dead and we will be a sharia-governed country where the Left will be the
biggest loser of all because Islam hates most of what they revere (Orlando!)! That
choice will be made now in the year of our Lord 2016!

Trump
offers the best hope to solve the myriad of problems created by Democrats over
the past 27 years. Clinton would
certainly continue Obama’s lawless, destructive policies. All of the problems we face were created by
our own federal government since 1989 when excessive immigration began.
