The so-called "trash" would not be there without an invitation, so this isn't an invasion.

The torture and deaths of hundreds of people solely because of their religion was not a good thing.

It isn't a good thing now, either, no matter who's doing it. To advocate such behavior is to save Western civilization from supposed "nihilistic cancer" by cutting its republican heart out.

If the only way to preserve European cultural traditions is to hermetically seal the borders, that says a lot about the (lack of) strength of those values. It sounds like what the USSR did in Berlin. Free markets don't only apply to economics; they apply to ideas as well. Europe has the goods without having to resort to hate and isolationism.

I brought up the Battle of Tours about a page ago because culture war with guns and bombs is becoming more likely the more the "purists" get their bowels in an uproar. The original battle was indeed a military response to a military challenge. Immigration is a social challenge that requires a social response, not an antisocial one.
