Midway through his latest post re the death-to-the-Jews rallies in Calgary, Ezra Levant writes:
Why were local politicians silent about this display of bigotry, week after week?
Why did the Calgary Police Service permit this unruly mob onto private property in the first place? Why were trespass charges not laid against them weeks ago? Why did the police do nothing when a pro-Israel counter-protester had a shoe thrown at him, and when a rabbi was spat at? Why were assault charges not laid against them?
The answer is obvious: local politicians have done their math. There are only 8,000 Jews in Calgary, and more than 75,000 Muslims. Denouncing anti-Semitic bigotry is fine for politicians when the bigots are politically powerless neo-Nazi skinheads. When they're radical Muslims, funded by Saudi Arabia, the politicians fall silent.
Same for Canada's Orwellian human rights commissions. They claim to be against "hate". They're awfully brave at taking on Christian clergy who preach the Bible's "hateful" Book of Leviticus. But notice their cowardly silence in the face of mass hate marches in the streets.
As Ezra says, you do the math. This is the demographic reality, not just in Canada but in the Netherlands, France, Britain and many other places. When your demographic energy is predominantly Muslim, so is your future. It might be relatively benignly Muslim, like Malaysia. Or it might be toxically so, like Waziristan. But more Muslim is what it will be, one way or another. If you're confident that Muslims will be assimilated by exposure to the west and that (as the Dutch gay humanist author Oscar van den Boogaard hopes) Islam will "learn to laugh at itself", then there's nothing to worry about. But, if you're less sure about that, there's a mighty big question mark over the future.
One thing we can say for certain: In ten years' time, there'll be a lot more than 75,000 Muslims in Calgary - and significantly fewer than 8,000 Jews.
