ATTACK ON MODENA: WHY THE MAINSTREAM TALKS ONLY ABOUT MADNESS
A car plowed into passersby and a knife attack: the latest serious news story mirrors a pattern well-known throughout Europe. Yet, the mainstream media's reaction is the same: dismissing the incident as a "psychiatric problem," refusing to analyze the potential ideological implications of radicalization.
The incident, which involved a thirty-one-year-old second-generation Italian of Moroccan origin, reopens the debate on the failure of integration and assimilation models. Being born and raised in the region isn't enough if you then cultivate a radical rejection of the West. Continuing to use euphemisms and justifications doesn't erase the problem; it only makes it more difficult to combat.
