This article is just simply excellent.
I will say this in advance and then just let the article speak for itself.
The authors answer of leave and go to Australia is NOT the correct solution. The answer is to stop allowing muslim immigration and start deporting those currently there. I will also say that eventually there will reach a tipping point and peaceful coexistence will become impossible and war will follow on a global scale…a real world war. This clash is inevitable. People such as Hugh Hewitt frequently state that “we do not want to get into a war with Islam.” This is a fine sentiment but it is in my view frankly naïve. We may not be interested in war with Islam but Islam is interested in War with us. It is inherent in the religion. It is part and parcel of the faith. Dar al Islam and Dar al Harb. If you don’t know what those concepts represent then you should educate yourself. It is as fundamental to Islam as the Resurrection is to Christianity and has been a driving force of Islam for 1400 years.
So the fate of any land that does not fight Islam is to be consumed by it. I happen to believe that the fighting spirit of the West is just dormant under layers of suffocating socialism and (as the author of this piece identifies)secular humanism and the denuding of its will to fight. It WILL reach a tipping point and will awaken. It won’t be pretty when it does but it will be necessary in order to ensure it’s survival. But I believe it will happen. The closer Europe is taken to the brink where the security and comforts that have lulled them into complacency are removed, the more they will begin to move towards resistance and violent confrontation. This confrontation is inevitable because the values of Islam, submission and slavery are not compatible with the values of the Judao-Christian west.
I think that those who try to evade this truth are fooling themselves and doing a disservice to very Western Culture that they claim they want to preserve. We should be emboldening and encouraging the fighting spirit not snuffing it out with diplospeak and political correctness.
Well here is the article. I hope you find it as informative as I did.
The German author Henryk M. Broder recently told the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant (12 October) that young Europeans who love freedom, better emigrate. Europe as we know it will no longer exist 20 years from now. Whilst sitting on a terrace in Berlin, Broder pointed to the other customers and the passers-by and said melancholically: “We are watching the world of yesterday.”
Europe is turning Muslim. As Broder is sixty years old he is not going to emigrate himself. “I am too old,” he said. However, he urged young people to get out and “move to Australia or New Zealand. That is the only option they have if they want to avoid the plagues that will turn the old continent uninhabitable.”
Many Germans and Dutch, apparently, did not wait for Broder’s advice. The number of emigrants leaving the Netherlands and Germany has already surpassed the number of immigrants moving in. One does not have to be prophetic to predict, like Henryk Broder, that Europe is becoming Islamic. Just consider the demographics. The number of Muslims in contemporary Europe is estimated to be 50 million. It is expected to double in twenty years. By 2025, one third of all European children will be born to Muslim families. Today Mohammed is already the most popular name for new-born boys in Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other major European cities.
Broder is convinced that the Europeans are not willing to oppose islamization. “The dominant ethos,” he told De Volkskrant, “is perfectly voiced by the stupid blonde woman author with whom I recently debated. She said that it is sometimes better to let yourself be raped than to risk serious injuries while resisting. She said it is sometimes better to avoid fighting than run the risk of death.”
In a recent op-ed piece in the Brussels newspaper De Standaard (23 October) the Dutch (gay and self-declared “humanist”) author Oscar Van den Boogaard refers to Broder’s interview. Van den Boogaard says that to him coping with the islamization of Europe is like “a process of mourning.” He is overwhelmed by a “feeling of sadness.” “I am not a warrior,” he says, “but who is? I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it.”
As Tom Bethell wrote in this month’s American Spectator: “Just at the most basic level of demography the secular-humanist option is not working.” But there is more to it than the fact that non-religious people tend not to have as many children as religious people, because many of them prefer to “enjoy” freedom rather than renounce it for the sake of children. Secularists, it seems to me, are also less keen on fighting. Since they do not believe in an afterlife, this life is the only thing they have to lose. Hence they will rather accept submission than fight. Like the German feminist Broder referred to, they prefer to be raped than to resist.
“If faith collapses, civilization goes with it,” says Bethell. That is the real cause of the closing of civilization in Europe. Islamization is simply the consequence. The very word Islam means “submission” and the secularists have submitted already. Many Europeans have already become Muslims, though they do not realize it or do not want to admit it.
Some of the people I meet in the U.S. are particularly worried about the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe. They are correct when they fear that anti-Semitism is also on the rise among non-immigrant Europeans. The latter hate people with a fighting spirit. Contemporary anti-Semitism in Europe (at least when coming from native Europeans) is related to anti-Americanism. People who are not prepared to resist and are eager to submit, hate others who do not want to submit and are prepared to fight. They hate them because they are afraid that the latter will endanger their lives as well. In their view everyone must submit.
