Trump Dangerous For World, Say Europeans Importing Jihad

Trump’s intolerance contrasts with those unwilling to adopt Western values of tolerance, the State’s monopoly on force, or equality.

Frankfurt, March 6 – European political and public figures responsible for the influx of countless radical Islamists onto the Continent warned today that Donald Trump presents a serious threat to the economy and stability of the world, new organizations are reporting.

High-ranking officials in Germany, Britain, France, and elsewhere across Europe told reporters over the last several weeks that the real estate magnate’s incoherence and ignorance of crucial international issues – as well as his apparent willingness to disregard the law and human rights – calls into question his ability to govern the United States properly and to maintain healthy diplomatic relations with the rest of the world. They made their statements amid European governmental and societal efforts to ignore, minimize, dismiss, or deny the danger posed by tens of thousands of migrants from Muslim countries who will not be required or even actively encouraged to moderate their misogyny, antisemitism, triumphalism, or sympathy for religiously driven violence.

“Trump is a danger to democracy and to Western values in general,” declared Rhineland regional official Sue Iss-Heid, who has personally traveled to the country’s border with Austria to welcome trainloads of migrants unwilling to adopt Western values of tolerance, the State’s monopoly on force, or equality. “He echoes for us shades of a much darker past we would much rather not have to revisit,” she added as she signed a public notice urging women and girls not to show their uncovered faces in certain parts of town where the immigrants gather, lest they provoke sexual violence.

Experts explain that for Europeans, Trump evokes unpleasant memories of the 1920’s and 30’s, when demagoguery led the Continent into the most destructive conflict the world has ever seen, and that the only kind of intolerance acceptable to the modern European sensibility is intolerance of the European way of life, as if that can atone in some measure for the sins of the prewar generation. “It’s hard not to think of Mussolini and Hitler in appreciating the jingoistic appeal of Donald Trump to a frightening number of Americans,” noted Italian political science professor Otto Ritarianisti. “What we have here is a large group of people frustrated with the life they have and willing to make drastic changes in pursuit of making things right in their own eyes, no matter who else has to suffer as a result.” It was unclear whether he was referring to the disaffection of the white American body politic from the political establishment or to the influx of migrants into Europe.
