European guilt ?

Submitted by Sam (Thailand), Apr 18, 2008 at 13:41

Dr. Pipes, you and many other commentators often make the assertion that Europeans feel guilt about their past. I simply refute this. As an European (40 years British) now living in Australia I have never met a European who feels any shame for the past except maybe the odd German who regrets the Nazi era. The problem with Europe is not shame, but weak leadership, media bias in favour of Muslims, political correctness and political disenchantment by many of its citizens due to there being very little correspondence between what people vote for and what they actually get !

Many people are waking up to the islamic threat (I never use capital letters for muslim or islam nowadays). A revolt against our takeover is growing, not quickly I'll grant you, but it is there. We are not ashamed, we are proud.
