I don't think it can be ruled out that existing radical right-wing groups seized the oppurtunity to begin these attacks. We have those groups here, I don't think there's any denial about that. Nor denial about that that might not be the case. I haven't seen anyone explain away these things and blame them on the US (??). But then again I don't read Indymedia.

Actually, dw, with the exception of Holland and a few others the European countries aren't crowded. Their cities are crowded. And their interiors (like ours) are being hollowed out.

No, they really have no idea. Europeans tend to think they're enlightened compared to Americans, but they're really not. When a racist incident like this happens in the US, Americans shake their heads in resignation, know the culprit is a brother/sister/cousin, and get back to work on building an egalitarian society. In Europe, there's denial that it even happen, quick blame on "outsiders" or "media" or "American aggression," and absolutely no desire to look at the root causes. I think Americans accept racism and sexism. They despise it, but they do what they can to not be racist or sexist. Europeans deny that they could even been seen as low as American racists, and so they're blind to their overcrowded countries filling with more and more immigrants every day. Thus, you get the horrific case of Stephen Lawrence in the UK. If the Stephen Lawrence case happened in this country, the cops involved would have had their heads handed to them, and the perps would be rotting in jail, not sitting around playing PS2.

Europe generally and the Netherlands in particular is experiencing unprecedented levels of immigration over a sustained period. There will be social upheaval. The irony is that what they're experiencing for the first time we've experienced throughout our history. I'm afraid they just don't know what they're in for.
