Islamist Enclaves in Europe Breed Jihadism
(National Review) Andrew C. McCarthy - German investigators named a Tunisian refugee, Anis Amri, who arrived in Germany in July 2015 as an asylum-seeker, as the jihadist who drove a truck through a Christmas festival in Berlin on Tuesday. The main threat posed by the immigrant populations from sharia cultures is not that some percentage will be trained terrorists. It is that a much larger percentage is stubbornly resistant to assimilation, thus fortifying sharia enclaves throughout Europe. That is what fuels jihad. These neighborhoods turn into safe havens for jihadist recruitment, training, fund-raising, and harboring. They enable jihadists to plan attacks against the host country and then elude the authorities after the attacks.
