Quote of the Day: Dr. Helen the Instawife

In commenting on Bruce Bawer’s new book, “While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within,” Dr. Helen the Instawife noted an alarming statistic, and the circumstances that surround it:

Bawer points out that in Denmark, Muslims make up only 5% of the population but receive 40% of welfare outlays. Many of these immigrants are told by their leaders that Muslim law gives them the right to “cheat and lie in the countries that harbor them.” They are told to view the benefits they receive as jizya–the tributes that “the infidel natives of Muslim-occupied countries are obliged to pay to Muslims in order to preserve their lives.” And the welfare offices in Denmark can be the setting for violence–termed “culture clashes” by Danish journalists. “Some clients lay waste to social security offices and hit social workers–not out of frustration but because they’ve learned that bullying gets them what they want. The Danish government is not repressive; welfare workers tend to be sympathetic and eager to help. Many immigrants perceive this as weakness, and exploit it, ‘tyrannizing’ the social workers.” The Danish solution? More PC behavior–get translators to translate not only between languages but between cultures. Yeah, that will work.

I never thought of the welfare reform passed in 1996 as a national security measure. Now I do.
