Some key components of Europe's anti-Muslim rhetoric — at times echoed in Canada and, more so, in the United States — have been discredited.

Take the following:

#
It is alleged that Muslims in Europe are recipients of and hence unduly influenced by foreign funding, a code word for petro-dollars from Saudi Arabia.

#
It is said that radical foreign-born imams (clerics), are a source of militancy and should be deported. Some have been, particularly from France."
