Nathanael Kapner: The Struggle to Save Inner Europe

The Struggle for Europe is personified in the persons of Marine Le Pen of France, Thilo Sarrazin of Germany, and Hilaire Belloc of England. Marine Le Pen is the National Front candidate for the French presidential election to be decided on May 6 2012. Le Pen is known for her anti-immigration and anti-EU positions. French Jewry has been intensely promoting pro-immigration policies throughout Europe with special emphasis currently focused on Sweden. Le Pen's stand can best be seen by viewing her co-ordinate activities with the Lega Nord, an anti-immigrant Italian political party, which campaigns for the autonomy of northern Italy. In 2011, Le Pen visited the Italian island of Lampedusa, which was the focal point of uncontrolled immigration from North Africa, with Lega's leader Mario Borghezio. Borghesio has said that Europe must remain white and Christian. In response to Switzerland's defiance against joining the EU and its recent referendum banning the building of minarets, Borghezio remarked "The flag of a courageous Switzerland which wants to remain Christian is flying over a near-Islamized Europe. By all appearances, Marine Le Pen concurs with Borghezio's position. In December of 2010, she compared Muslims praying in the streets of Paris to the Nazi occupation of France. For those who want to talk about World War II being an occupation, then we could also talk about Muslim prayers in the streets, because that's an occupation of territory.
