Hungary is often criticized for linking the spread of religious extremism in Europe with mass immigration. Why do you think this connection is a taboo subject in today’s political discourse in Europe?
It is simply empirically undeniable that religious extremism has something to do with mass immigration. If you look at it, and not just since 2015, but even before, the attack on the World Trade Center in New York alone was largely planned by Arab students in Hamburg. They radicalized there in a mosque, which had been a hotspot for jihadists until 2010. For nine years longer.
People simply ignored this issue the whole time and they still do. There was only one short phase where people became a little bit attentive, namely when the so-called Islamic State had the upper hand in Syria and Iraq and all the foreign jihadists/foreign fighters were recruited. As attacks have been carried out in Germany, Paris, Belgium, and in Spain, suddenly people began to understand that there really was a problem, but that didn’t penetrate to the point where they questioned migration, and today they don’t do that either. I am really amazed. We have such a sharp increase even in smaller attacks or knife attacks on women, especially teachers, schoolgirls. Read More…
