Paris Cancels NYE Concert Over Migrant Violence

“It’s obvious that this is the result of massive unvetted Muslim immigration into Europe,” said Daniel Di Martino, an immigration fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

“Western Europe has had a terrorism problem for many years now, and that has been exacerbated because of unvetted Islamic immigration as a result of the refugee crisis of over a decade ago.”

“Christmas markets are popular and symbolic gathering places that are likely to be targeted by violent or politically motivated attacks,” said Laurent Nuñez.

“When you read the propaganda of terrorist groups, Christmas markets are targets as are law enforcement officers, as are places of worship of the Jewish community, as are a number of public institutions,” he said on French television.

“Unfortunately, in France, there is such a turn toward savagery that everything becomes a pretext for violence,” said politician Bruno Retailleau, head of Les Républicains and former interior minister, slamming the scrapped New Year’s Eve plans as capitulation.

“These acts of violence are the product of a descent into savagery,” the interior minister said at the time, denouncing what he called “cowards and thugs who attack the property of often modest French citizens.”

“Europe simply welcomed millions of people who were Muslim, who were not highly educated, and who bought into terrorist ideology and are willing to commit terrorist acts and have a culture that is incompatible with Christianity,” Di Martino said. “And some of them actually hate Christianity, and that’s why they target Christmas markets.

“They’re much less educated. They’re much more Islamic. The children of those immigrants are not integrated into the rest of society. They’re still living in ethnic enclaves there. They don’t have high employment rates. They’re actually much more likely to be out of a job. So, they’re much poorer.”
