We Are Losing Europe to Islam

AR Articles on Islam in Europe/Asia 

More news stories on Islam in Europe/Asia 

Diana West, Townhall.com, September 18, 2008

 

And losing Europe, I would add, is by no means inevitable. But that doesn’t mean the continent isn’t currently hell-bent to accommodate the dictates of Islamic law, bit by increasingly larger bit. Such a course of accommodation, barring reversal, will only hasten Bernard Lewis’ famous prediction that Europe will be Islamic by century’s end.

 

And what do I mean by “accommodation”? Well, to take one tiny example, one snowflake in a blizzard of such examples, there are schools in Belgium {snip} no longer teach authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin.  According to press reports this week, the British government has quietly, cravenly elevated five Sharia courts to the level of tribunal hearings, thus making their rulings legally binding.

 

In a decidedly minuscule minority, I say we ignore the spread of Islamic law across Europe, from the schoolroom to the courtroom, at our peril, particularly given that in so doing, we also ignore the vital political parties that have arisen in reaction to this threat to Western civilization. Why at our peril? Because the same type of liberty-shrinking, Sharia-driven accommodation is happening here.

 

Of the parties dedicated to resisting Islamization that I examined in Europe last summer, the most promising range from the sizeable Vlaams Belang in Belgium to the tiny Sweden Democrats, and include the Lega Nord in Italy, the Party for Freedom of Geert Wilders in Holland, the Danish People’s Party, the Swiss People’s Party and the Austrian Freedom Party. Such parties are unknown here, or ignored. Worse, they are shunned. Why? I believe it’s because their respective political opponents—the leftist media and governing establishments that are increasingly dependent on Islamic support, by the way—have successfully slandered these parties as “extremists,” “racists,” “fascists” and “Nazis.”

 

The outrageously empty epithets of the Islamo-socialist left seem calculated to stop thought cold and trigger a massive rejection reflex. In this way, resistance becomes anathema, and Islamic law, unchecked, spreads across Europe.

 

Does that sound “Islamophobic”? You bet. How can anyone who values freedom of conscience, equality before the law and other such Western jewels not have a healthy fear of Islamic law, which values none of these things? Incredibly, this is an emotion that is supposed to be suppressed—and, in Europe, on pain of prosecution. Indeed, because Filip Dewinter admitted to such “Islamophobia” in an interview, his party, the Vlaams Belang, has been taken to court in Belgium on charges of racism, and, if convicted, will be effectively shut down through defunding by the government.

 

Of course, even as Dewinter admits to fearing the Islamization of Europe, he and his colleagues act with exceptional political—and physical—bravery in rallying voters against it. This coming weekend, he joins several other politicians on the Sharia-fighting right in Europe—{snip}—in Cologne, Germany. In that ancient cathedral city, where the city council recently approved the construction of a long-controversial mega-mosque, these men will address a rally against European Islamization. {snip} The Sharia-fighters expect 1,500 demonstrators. Police expect 40,000 counter-demonstrators.

 

These are frightening odds—a metaphor, perhaps, for Europe’s chances of staving off Islamic law. Who lost Europe? If it does happen, we certainly won’t be able to say we weren’t warned.

There is an interesting contrast between the US and europe; in the one there is no popular party which opposes the invasion of non-whites(this is the US where hispanics are numerically and geographically much more of a threat than Islam) but there are still no laws comparable to those in europe against expressing unorthodox sentiments, while in the other (Europe) there are many popular political groups dedicated to maintaining their european racial and ethnic identity but to say what they believe would likely violate one of the numerous hate speech laws and land them in a prison cell.

 

Clearly, the basic problem in both the US and Europe is the same, viz. the invasion of masses of non-whites (whether hispanic or muslim is not the critical point) intent on conquering by numbers and displacing the native populations.

 

The reactions have been different, however, with a much more muted organized opposition in the US that consciously attempts to distance itself from concepts like race and endogenous culture. Examples of this would include the anti-immigration group FAIR. Europeans tend to be much more racially and ethnically conscious. They tend to be more honest. While they have basically the same opposition as we do in the US, the MSM and the multicult elites, they also have a much stronger sense of national identity than do Americans, who have seen their traditional national identity under constant attack ever since the origin of the so-called “civil rights” movement of the 1960’s which had as an essential element to its program the destruction of white America and white identity.

I just absolutely don’t understand leftwingers, are they so bent on destroying their societies that they ally themselves with this “religion”? I thought they were against “religion” or are they alright with a religion along as that religion uses violence or the threat of violence to get what they want? Do these useful idiot leftwingers think that they will somehow be left alone and exempt from the laws muslims want to enforce on everyone if they are allowed to gain control? Muslims hate communists because they view them as “Godless”, yet these communists have allied themselves with people who would kill them given the chance, unbelievable. The writer of this article is right, the term “Islamophobia” which is used to shut up opposition should be embraced and have people saying, “damn right I’m Islamophobic”.

Funny how the European peoples fought endless wars among themselves for about 1,500-1,600 years (roughly since the fall of Rome) only to turn around and surrender their continent to a people who are vastly more backward without any fight at all.

Very interesting point, never thought of it that way before. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the best of both worlds — American freedom of speech AND a European-strength nationalist party?

 

Kind of begs the question why we HAVEN’T got one. If little European countries like Switzerland and Belgium (and not even ALL of Belgium, just Flanders really) can get good strong viable nationalist parties going DESPITE fascistic EU speech restrictions, then shouldn’t it be even easier in the US?

 

Not EASY, of course — but no harder than in Europe, surely?

I would have to say the difference between white Americans and Europeans. Is that white Americans are stilling coming out of the civil right periods between 50s and 70s. And most white are still being guilt down by what their being tought in school. Another difference is Europe is split up into different smaller countries, and have had some political turmoil in recent year like the Soveit Union or Balkans break up. If and Southern states of America was their own country they still would be segregated. Look even Duke was all most elected as state governor La which is equal to president.

 

Europeans have long entrenched nationalist parties. Because America is to big it is much harder to have a nationalist party like the UK. A nationalist party would have to be built over time like in Russia. It also makes it difficult at the share grip the 2 party’s have on America. And the fact there are just to many non-whites in America.

 

Also the white nationalist movement in America reached its lowest point in the mid 90s and early 2000s. I think we just starting to level off, eventually we will have to start going up. Because how lower can we go before we start going back up?… I have a feeling that our movement for the past 2 decades reached all most near collapse. And now after our worse times we are starting to rise again. After all what ever goes down must come up “meaning us”. And what ever goes up must come down “meaning our enemies”.

 

The nationalist movement With the media fully against us it will take awhile before we can ever reach our European brothers strenth. But by that time we will already be a minority.

Yes indeed, the left-wingers are the most vocal, they are the most vociferous in the defense of all the minorities, they may be the most vocal, but they are still only small part of the long-suffering population. They are also the tinder that will set alight the fury of those same long-suffering Europeans who stand by silently, at the behest of those left-wing liberals, whilst their countries are stolen from them. When push comes to shove, those silent, non-political Europeans will rise. It will be a sight not seen since Charles Martel.

I have visited Europe several times, the last being in 1983. The main problem with Europeans was no different then, than what it is now. It is a culture steeped in comfort. Just like most Americans of the WW2 generation, the Boomer generation, and the generation X’er’s, they are addicted to a culture of comfort. People addicted to comofort, cannot be activists. We are talking about two opposing tendencies. Comfort is the condition that hinders Europeans from being active on opposing the Islamization of Europe, just as it is the reason Americans are passive about the Latinization of the U.S. In general, there is no sense of urgency on either continent, concerning legal, or illegal alien cultural invasion. Without a sense of urgency, nothing will change.

” I thought they(leftwingers) were against “religion” or are they alright with a religion along as that religion uses violence or the threat of violence to get what they want?”

 

They are against white, western Christianity. As long as it is something that is practiced by non-whites, and most Muslims are, then it is a-ok.

I believe one reason for this is that in the USA — even with a population now surpassing 300 million people — we still are kept mentally chained with the worn-out old platitude telling us, “We are a nation of immigrants.” All our lives we have been bombarded with this. In America, ethnicity and race are supposed to be downplayed. Except in jokes, they are rarely talked about. (Many a truth can be told in jest.) Europeans do not have this imbedded reluctance to have to deal with. They know who they are and they are much less ashamed to say so.

We have to start by knowing who we are, and liking who we are. Our customs, our ethics, our principles are the best in the world. Our history, our literature and our future are the greatest in the world.

 

The left starts by tearing those things down. That’s why the left rips apart and tries to destroy Christianity and Judaism, our respect for the founding fathers, our language and our self image.

 

Combat the left and the invading jihadis by being proud of who we are and our customs.

Was drugs,sex and roll worth it? European culture has morphed into something very degenerate. Most European countries are atheistic. The vacum is being filled. When the transformation occurs, Liberalism will no longert exist as a political and social philosophy. Liberalism is suicide.

Carl Jung is quoted as saying:

“Too much of the animal distorts the civilized man, too much civilization makes sick animals.”

 

The second part of his quote pretty much sums up what has happened to Whites over the past century or so.

 

Childlessness among White women is a result of too much “fancy-fare” materialism, consumerism, perversions (sex tours to Africa and the Caribbean and homosexuality amongst both sexes) and, of course, Feminism (the ultimate notion of a civilzed society) and not enough “primordial” acts such as recognizing racial identity and racial pride, giving birth (to 100% White children, I might add) and physically fighting for what’s rightfully yours.

 

The first part of his quote pretty much sums up why this planet and civilization is ultimately doomed. With Whites gone, that leaves mostly black, muslim, and mestizo latinos remaining. It’s pretty much safe to say that space travel will never happen now, unlike all of those cool books about it that I used to read in the library as a child in the early 1970’s.

The counter demonstration by 40,000 leftists and pan Islamists is only a glimpse of our hellish future when we lose political control and ultimately become a minority in our formerly white nations. Keep in mind this is happening while we’re the majority and retain political control. I shudder to think what will happen when our enemies become the politicians and police.

 

Whether it be Muslims in Europe or Mexicans in the U.S., they both threaten violence against anyone or group who opposes their agenda. All the while “our” law enforcement agencies stand idly by and do nothing. If we threaten violence, retaliatory or otherwise, we’re arrested, bankrupted, jailed, character assassinated, and if we can’t afford a decent attorney we’ll never see the light of day again.

 

Where are the Christian churches in all of this? Standing shoulder to shoulder with our mortal enemies, that’s where.

The Sweden Democrats are a joke, they do not want to unroll the 3rd worldization of Sweden, they just want to lower the rate of new incomers. They also want assimilation with and mulattization of the native population. Do I have to mention that they expel members that expresses racist ideas such as blacks not being as smart as whites? Their sole MP, a jumpover from the liberal socialist party Moderaterna, is a liberal do-gooder with 2 adopted Lankanese children.

I don’t think most people really grasp that it is possible for whites to lose this struggle for existence. I know we all talk about it, but few really come to grips with the facts: white peoples have been destroyed, absorbed, or defeated and driven away by non-whites before. The Germanic tribes that migrated into Europe did so because they were pushed by Asian hordes - Bulgars, Huns, et al.

Yes. It’s peculiar, bizarre and staggeringly hypocritical of liberals being against things when White/Western but for them when not, even if far more extreme.

I beleive libs are mostly of two kinds

1 Self loathing low self esteem types that do actually live amongst Muslims and other minorites out of choice, middle or working class but doing lower paid work than they’re capable of and ridled with white guilt etc

2 Patronizing middle class who DON’T live amongst minorities and have no intention of ever doing so. Know a few token blacks/muslims at work, think they have loads of ethnic friends. Perhaps feel some white/middle class guilt but project it onto the “ignorant racist” (white of course) working class. In favour of mass immigration for “diversity” (read cheap labour) and always move away when diversity comes to them. These are by far the worst. The first you can sympathize with a little but the second are the ones who actually form liberal ideas and run the media and make policy.

Look back at history and Europe is ALWAYS being overrun by foreign countries/cultures. Take away European colonialism and the picture looks a whole lot different. Just based on the rapid rise in White Female - Non White Male relationships here in America, I’m convinced a large part of this is about attaining the women.

 

But IMO, it’s going to be way too late before whites actually realize what this is about and take action. Americans are completely Judaized as a people and the European mindset is changing as well. A certain sexual/moral decadence has taken place throughout the society which more often than not, is the hallmark of a dying civilization.

 

Not in the Asiatic countries though. If you’ve visited in recent years, you can literally feel the positive energy over there. They know they’re the future and won’t be making the same mistakes as the West. In Japan they’ve already declared they’d rather build more A.I. robots than import low skilled workers to compensate for their aging population.

> I would agree and add that the tragedy is that because of a vainglorious resentment of American acheivements and the history of being famously rescued in two world wars by America, they engage every attempt in criticizing America for its now mythological racism while not connecting it to their own expression of nationalism and love of their own cultures and traditions. They would deny us what they themselves practice out of an implanted sense of political competition.

 

I lived in Europe for some time and I believe that this is a good part of the useless mechanism that keeps Europeans at odds with their own cousins of European descent.

Yes, White Europe seems to have given up on the notion of survival of themselves. They seem happy with converting to another ethnic, religious, racial and even linguistic form in a matter of one to three generations. Since WW2, Europeans seem to have become a sort of “life in the present” culture with no projection, other than financial into their future. They are spoiled with social welfare states made possible by US protection via NATO. Now, they think that they may break free of even that through the EU. But the EU is betraying them. Since the horrors of WW2 prevents most Europeans from engaging in the necessary nationalism for their own various national survival, indigenous Europe seems paralyzed and unwilling (except in a few isolated cases) able to assert itself. This is the worst thing Hitler did to Europe. But now, there is no new land to immigrate into - although I would welcome more of them into the U.S. They must truly unite, turn and fight as the early Franks did.

 

Posted by Whiteplight at 3:04 PM on September 22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There will be civil war before very long in Europe.

 

Very slowly the indigenous populations are waking up to the fact that the elites have chosen to replace them with Muslims. (The left meanwhile function as useful idiots for both global capitalism and Islam.) The coming recession will rudely awaken them from the sleepiness induced by (largely illusory) material comfort.

 

The Muslims in Europe are hugely complacent, knowing that they have the support of the governments, most of the MSM, the education systems, etc., of the European nations where they have been encouraged to settle. However, when civil war breaks out they will be shocked to discover how fierce and implacable ordinary Europeans are. They have made the mistake of judging us by our gutless elites.

 

This civil war will be bloody, but the indigenous Europeans will prevail. We are the fiercest and deadliest people on the planet. We must also turn that ferocity and deadliness on the traitors who have tried to deprive us of our birthright.
