European Elites Are Cowed by Radical Islamists

That's the title of my column in today's Washington Examiner. I look at the ability of Islamists in Europe to intimidate their opponents into silence--a frightening method by which they hope to gradually implement sharia (Islamic law). In the UK, Islamic MPs are making demands that, they warn darkly, are a means to prevent future terrorist acts. Give us what we demand, they say, and we won't kill you.

My next Examiner column, which will appear two weeks from today, will examine this phenomenon in America, where we have more than our share of spineless elites who're only too happy to cave in to the demands of radicals.
