Jen Gerson spews political correctness about the causes of French anti-Semitism in her National Post article

Jen Gerson, in her recent National Post article, wrote the following about the causes of anti-Semitism in the violence experienced during the current French protests. She writes, "The protests come amid growing concerns about rising anti-Semitism in much of Western Europe, but particularly in France, fanned by the strong performance of the far-right National Front party, and a perceived rise in anti-Semitic violence." Let me say, Jen, that political correctness kills. Your politically correct statement conveniently ignores, indeed fails to mention at all, the growing Muslim populations in France now at 10% of their population and growing exponentially. Most of them hail from the Maghreb (various Muslim countries in North Africa) and they do NOT assimilate into mainstream French culture. Do you think, just possibly Jen, that some of the anti-Semitic violence might have been fueled by Muslims, many of whom despise Western culture, including the 'Little Satan", Israel and that there is a large Muslim contingent fanning the flames of violence against the Jews because of the Israelis current incursions against their fellow Muslims in Gaza? Do you think, just possibly, that they might just be part of the problem? Furthermore, Jen, most of the non-Muslim violence in France, as in Canada, comes not from the far Right (and has not since the end of hostilities of WWll) but from the far Left. It is the Islamists and the hard Left who are the allies made in hell, both in much of Europe and North America. Get your facts right, Jen, even if it rubs the nap of your political correctness the wrong way. I agree that it is important to not overstate the outrages that Islamists are perpetrating in our societies but equally it is important not to ignore them. Political correctness (which is to say dangerous inaccuracies) kills. http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/07/21/pro-gaza-rallies-worldwide-tainted-by-anti-semitism-calgary-organizer-to-apologize-for-violence/
