In a nutshell

Sometimes in my near daily wading through news relating to the problem (of Islam) and the problem of the problem (the mainstream West's inability to grapple rationally with the problem of Islam), I come upon crystalisations of the full catastrophe, in a nutshell.

Such as this quote from a story posted on Jihad Watch, concerning an area in Sweden where the young children of immigrants (most likely from Muslim countries, and some as young as 8 years old) have been routinely abusing, threatening, and terrorizing many of the non-Muslim children and adults living there.

The quote is from the local Swedish Union of Tenants in the small town where this is happening. While the official union statement shows concern about the problem, it also demonstrates the irrational fear typical of the Western mainstream:

“The ones who cause the problems and violence are children of new-coming migrants. That is why neighbours start to make connections between the problems and xenophobic views. In the long term, this will result in a very segregated vicinity where neighbours speak in terms of “us and them”, which will escalate if this is not stopped very soon”, the Union writes in its letter.

Notice the anxiety in the letter that casts the problem as a collective problem on both sides, rather than rationally blaming the one side that is belligerently instigating and thus creating the problem in the first place.  This misplaced anxiety may be (and has been) worded in many different ways, but is all boils down to a concern that our Western response to Islamic expansion will be as bad, if not indeed worse than that Islamic expansion.
