Reverse Colonization

Well, I went to [the Brussels borough of] Molenbeek earlier this month and brought back this slide show of snaps. What you will see may call to mind something more like Little Marrakesh or Istanbultown than the so-called capital of Europe. To some, it will be possible to see in Molenbeek a fairly bustling display of non-indigenous culture certainly not unfamiliar to Americans who have both lived through and been a part of historic immigration waves. […] What is different here, of course […] is that what is going here is not a traditional process of assimilation to the host (European) culture, but a quietly revolutionary procedure best described as reverse colonization: Europe is being colonized by Islam.

I think KA is right. Race is the important factor.

Americans’ ancestors recreated Europe in America. They did not assimilate into the Indian local culture. Former immigrants to the USA had no trouble assimilating into a European culture because they were European too. But Mexican immigrants are not about to become European Americans any more than Arab immigrants will become Europeans. Taking a walk in Los Angeles or Detroit, you will notice the de-europeanization, just as in Brussels, except that Mexicans and Blacks do not wear jellabas. So, Arab immigration to Brussels is different from traditional immigration to the USA, but not from today’s Mexican immigration to the USA.
