\u201cNearly a quarter of century ago, Yale’s Harold Bloom famously described America as a \u2018dangerously religion-soaked, even religion-mad, society.\u2019 When Europeans gaze upon America’s shores, this is pretty much what they see. [\u2026]. At a moment when Europol is reporting that Islamic State is planning more Paris-style terror attacks, that’s unfortunate. It’s unfortunate because America’s overt religiosity blinds Europe’s elites to the one part of the American experiment most relevant to their needs today: America’s secularism.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is the incipit of a long article by William McGurn in the Wall Street Journal, which tackled the rising of Islamic extremism all over the world. Titled \u201cEurope\u2019s Feckless Secularism\u201d, the op-ed highlighted how the European way to secularism has failed. In Europe, reads the article, \u201cthe idea is that when you boot religion off the public square, you remove from public life the religious friction that in centuries past fueled devastating conflicts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s the theory. The reality is that in many European cities today, a Jew cannot walk the streets in safety. Just this month in Marseille, a man invoked Islamic State as he tried to decapitate a Jewish schoolteacher. The attack led to suggestions that the targets of such attacks\u2014French Jews\u2014would be better off not wearing yarmulkes in public. Many Jews have already given their answer: In 2015 a record number left Europe for Israel. Most were French.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, states McGurn , \u201c[\u2026] not only is Euro-secularism failing to persuade Europe’s growing Muslim minority of its merits; increasingly it cannot protect its own citizens.\u201d Maybe it is time for Europeans to confront the religiosity of the Americans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
