ISIS is tearing Europe apart

Published by Business Insider on Wed, 09 Dec 2015


There are no good solutionsor at least no attractive onesfor dealing with ISIS. That means they and their terrorist cohorts will continue operating freely. Hollande can talk about massive reprisals, but I doubt reprisals will solve Frances homegrown terrorist problem.We should recognize that the terrorists in the recent Paris attacks were mostly French or Belgian citizens, raised in Muslim ghettos (lets call them what they are) where youth unemployment is 40% or more.There are going to be more terrorist attacks in Europe and each will make more European voters increasingly uncomfortable. Restless voters will listen to politicians who promise to control borders and keep people safe.Anti-EU Parties Are Gaining MomentumEurope was already in economic and political distress before the Paris attacks. Throw in a few more terrorist acts and the refugee issue (which will be massively expensive), and we could see the centrist parties lose political control. Anti-EU political parties have a real chance to take control of major countries in Europe. Marine Le Pen is riding high in the French polls.I have no particular love for any of Europes centrist parties. They may well deserve to lose power. Then again, look how well that turned out for Greece. Portugals center-right doesnt appear to be doing so well, either.But if Marine Le Pen is the answer, France is asking the wrong question. I wonder what kind of working partner she would be with Angela Merkelassuming that Merkel can stay in power.Terrorism and Refugees Build Up Serious Political TensionPlease understand that I am actually pro-immigration, for economic reasons, unlike many of my political friends. Europe actually needs immigrationbut citizens dont like the kind of immigration they are getting.The Eurozone can manage its massive problems only with considerable political coordination. However, there has been precious little coordination in the EU lately. With the new refugee and terrorist crises, positive outcomes are now significantly more difficult, if not impossible.I dont see how the situation in Europe ends well. Thats sad because Europethe Europe I know and lovedeserves better.SEE ALSO:Here's how much ISIS makes in a dayJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: We did a blind taste test of popular french fries ' the winner was clear
