Far right in Europe putting brunt of social ills on immigrants.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
BERLIN _ Europe's far-right parties are on the march, playing on their aging populations' fears of crime, economic decline and diluted national identity. Immigration is most often blamed for these ills, and Muslims in particular are bearing the burden.
Far-right parties have gained recently in Portugal, Norway and Italy. In traditionally tolerant Holland, the party of Pim Fortuyn is looking to garner nearly 20 percent of the vote in next month's elections, despite his characterization of Islam as a "backward" religion.
Or perhaps it is because of the attitude expressed in that remark; an opinion poll for the weekly magazine Nieuwe Revu showed nearly half the country's youth want to stop Muslim immigration.
Backlash against immigrants has been building in Europe for years, but many political analysts say that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States enhanced the issue for nationalist politicians.
