If, in the 21st century, you look at a minority diaspora that has high unemployment, high dependence on social welfare, and high rates of crime compared to the dominant population, and then conclude it's actually the diaspora's fault, congratulations. You've just failed the first test of analyzing socioeconomic power structures and cultural habitus in relation to the history of the last few centuries.

Ah yes, mass Euro imperialism induced diasporic displacement of non-Euro populations being used as evidence that Euro imperialism is the ultimate zenith of civilization. It's akin to judging Trump's governance on the basis of the fluctuations of the stock market during the midst of a pandemic claiming 250k+ of the country's citizens. Then again, plenty of so called intellectuals do that right now, so what's new?

I wonder if there's any credible research out there that analytically juxtaposes the motifs of Islamophobia with the tenets of anti-Catholic sentiments and/or antisemitism à la "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," cause Hitchen's whole screed is sounding very familiar.

Ripping off the band aid with this one, and not cause I expect to be a "difficult, but rewarding" read.
