Why Is Japan Not Plagued By Muslim Extremists

For the past few years the countries in Europe, as well as some places in the United States and Australia, have suffered unforgettable wounds from its angry Muslim minorities. The Muslim mayor of London (UK), Sadiq Khan, said that terror attacks are 'part and parcel of life in a big city.' This statement somehow implies that the attacks in Paris are either inevitable or justified. But there is one country that continues to resist the notion without ever experiencing even the slightest semblance of such tragedy - Japan.

An analysis provided by English Democrats and All Four Estates demonstrate how certain political and cultural elements effectively put together the pieces of the puzzle. Here are some of the main reasons why Japan is pretty much immune to Muslim extremists and terror attacks:

300-year Isolation. One of the reasons why foreign terror attacks do not thrive in Japan is because this archipelago has an indelible history of isolation, to begin with. For 300 years under the Tokugawa rule, entry and exit across the Japanese waters warrant execution. It wasn't until the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry in the 1800's that Imperial Japan was 'forced' to open its international borders for trade.

Nipponjin & Gaijin. Furthermore, Japanese society does not blur the clear distinction between Japanese and outsiders. At the outset, foreigners (including Muslims) can NEVER occupy the same social category.

One Out Of 100,000. As confirmed by the leader of Japan's Muslim community, there are only roughly 1,300 Muslims in the country. They don't have enough numbers to foster effective mass anarchy. The government likes to keep it that way.

Demographic Crisis

In line with clearly identifying foreigners, its immigration policy is extremely meticulous. The government is doing everything in its power to preserve its homogenous majority in the succeeding generations.

Yukawa & Goto Martyrdom. The filmed execution of two Japanese nationals by ISIS in 2015 cemented the negative impression about Muslims for all the proud Japanese people. It is unfortunate that, as unfamiliar as the religion of Islam already is in Japanese society, its lasting reminder is a terror attack against their innocent countrymen.
