We knew about the antisemitism. We knew the antisemitism is mandated by the Koran. Now thanks to a small corner of a report co-authored by Mark Elchardus, we have numbers to back that up.
American Thinker blogger Andrew G. Bostom riffs on the approximately seven percent of the report concerned with antisemitism among high school students in Brussels, and the suit based on Prof. Elchardus saying to a local Flemish newspaper, "Worrying is that half of Muslim students can be described as anti-Semitic...Worse, the anti-Jewish feelings have nothing to do with a low educational or social disadvantage, as is the case with racist natives. It is theologically inspired anti-Semitism..."

A BOAT crammed with nearly 1000 illegal migrants, most of them from sub-Saharan Africa, has reached Sicily after sailing from Libya.
Border police commander Francesco Fallica called the landing overnight near Ragusa "biblical". Wait till the "Camp of Saints" scenario really gets under way.
The 963 migrants were crowded into a 20-metre long, barely seaworthy boat. He told Sky TG24 TV that some were so stressed by the voyage they fainted after police helped them ashore. A police motorboat came to their aid as they approached Sicily.
Reports said the boat left Libya four days earlier. Most aboard were Africans, although some came from Bangladesh. Bangladeshis are fleeing Libya?
Tens of thousands of illegal migrants have sailed to Italy in smugglers' boats this year, fleeing north African revolts and unrest. Those without jobs and who are ineligible for asylum are deported.
