Not just an isolated incident.

It's a numbers game. America is becoming gay friendly - perhaps even pro-gay. France is not becoming Jew-friendly or pro-Jew.

Participants at the meeting also said they were worried by mass anti-Semitic SMS messages and emails making the rounds and agreed to draft a common appeal urging Jews and Arabs to "live together" in peace.

Three synagogues have been targeted in a week and there have been huge pro-Palestinian protests in cities across France.

In the latest attack, vandals late Sunday hurled nine firebombs at a synagogue north of Paris in Saint-Denis, setting fire to the next-door kosher restaurant.

French Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie confirmed that there had been a flareup in anti-Semitic violence and ordered security measures to be strengthened at Jewish sites across the country.

We're not talking personal prejudice here, rather institutionalized religious hatred by an entire segment of France's population - and most importantly - the youth of France.

The youth in America are generally becoming more tolerant. In France, the reverse is true. The next generations - the future of France - are illustrating that in the decades ahead France will be another Israel/Palestine type center of violence.

Once the current generation of tolerant people are slowly phased out - and the current intolerant generation have their own kids to indoctrinate, as is done in Palestine and throughout much of the Middle East, the violence will become even more common than it is now.

For those who watch numbers, the story is already a foregone conclusion excluding some event such as a mass exodus of Muslims from France or a fundamental change in immigration policy and punitive laws.

France and Western Europe are experiencing a pandemic of hate. We need to understand its causes so as to prevent its spreading to the US and the rest of the world. We need to see how laws and immigration patterns produce communities of hate. The world needs to learn from France's mistakes. After 2005 it became obvious that such mistakes endanger the very fabric of government control and ability to provide public safety.

Sure, it's PC to pretend it's not happening or acknowledge France and Europe's huge immigration blunders and ineffective laws and judicial system. However that attitude is the violence enabler's attitude and will only enable such violence here and elsewhere - as the perpetrators know they will get away with it because of media and PC attitudes - which they will interpret as fear and weakness.

It's numbers. Because there is no fundamental change from within these groups. And there will be no change in these groups because the same people who raced to put a spotlight on Christian gay-bashing, amazingly, shy away from putting a spotlight on Muslim Jew-bashing, adulterer bashing, anti-women violence, etc.

This is sort of understandable. The left was primarily defending its own interests, so it must be expected the Jews, adulterers and women will have to do the same. Expecting anyone else to grab a trash can lid and pound it is not sensible when one plays the numbers. However, it's not just Jews who will be targeted, though they will be first in line. Soon, it will be adulterers, homosexuals and women who refuse to act as slaves.

The Talibanization of the world is underway. It's a huge expanding demographic.

Ignoring it won't strengthen those resisting it.
