Deja vu — Judith Apter Klinghoffer

EUROPE AWAKENING?

I heard Bat Ye'or argue persuasively and presciently that Europe is lost. Mark Stein predicts that Jews will be leaving France in droves. They should. They are unsafe.

Two recently published books also ring the alarm bells Menace in Europe: Why the Continent's Crisis Is America's, Too and While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within. I do not doubt their importance.

But I agree with Glenn Renolds. Hope should not be lost. There are also these headlines: French protest for murdered Jew is just the latest in a series of headlines which gives one hope. Another one is Vatican to Muslims: practice what you preach.

Then, there are elections. Angela Merkel is already making a difference and Sarkozy will do the same. Europe is coming to terms with the fact that it has a problem. It is a democracy. Hence, I trust the voters will make sure that the problem will be dealt later, if not sooner. Army of Davids (I love the name) is sure to help.

Turkey denies demanding and apology from Denmark.

Slovak Foreign minister criticizes EU for not supporting Denmark enough.
