The future's so bright I gotta wear. . .

dark goggles to prevent my eyes from being burned out by the coming atomic fireball.

From The Brussels Journal:

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 inhabitable."

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."

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.

This is why they have come to hate Israel and America so much, and the small band of European "islamophobes" who dare to talk about what they see happening around them. West Europeans have to choose between submission (islam) or death. I fear, like Broder, that they have chosen submission - just like in former days when they preferred to be red than dead.

See, I'm not the only one warning Europeans who love freedom to get out.

The United States needs to welcome these freedom loving Europeans. Many of them would love to come here. They already speak English and they are already educated and skilled with years of work experience. That the immigration policies of the US favor ignorant Third World peasants who will at best sweep floors and at worst found multi-generational welfare dynasties goes beyond being "a shame" and enters the territory of full-blown psychotic delusion.

Old Europe is dying. On its rubble will be built "Eurabia" the new Islamic caliphate which will be the greatest threat to what is left of the free world since Hitler. The reason that they will represent a greater danger than the old Soviet Union or our contemporary Islamofascists is the historic tendency of Islamic conquerors to borrow cultural elements from their conquered subjects.

For example the "Arabic numbers" which we use today, are not Arab at all. They are Hindu. The Arabs who conquered India assimilated (Borg like) their numbering system and some of the mathematics which the Hindus had worked out. They entered Western Europe after the reconquest of Spain.

Muslims borrow other things as well. For example the excellent artillery with which Mehmet II reduced the walls of Constantinople. The Eurabian Muslims will not be able to sustain the technologically advanced civilization of modern Europe (nor do they wish too) however they will be able to cherry-pick those elements which serve their long term agenda.

For example the French, Germans and Italians between them have the ability to build excellent warships up to and including aircraft carriers. They can build tanks and armored fighting vehicles which rival those built in America. They can produce very good jet fighter aircraft and bombers. And last, but certainly not least, thermonuclear weapons and delivery systems which can deliver them over intercontinental distances.

There is a military tradition in Europe, especially Germany, which, when divested of the hand wringing guilt over their colonial past, has every potential of rising again in the service of the vision of an Islamisized Übermensch.

All of this augers poorly indeed for Eastern Europe which is just emerging from the devastation of 60 years of communist oppression. These cultures which have the first-hand experience of slavery and are embracing freedom with a passion which should put Americans to shame are depending on membership in the European Union for both their economic futures and as a measure of security against an increasingly totalitarian Russia. Ireland, which is showing signs of becoming the business capital of Europe because of its rejection of much of the anti-business socialism of the continent also has reason to be worried.

When Western Europe, including the UK, falls to the mullahs then Islam's "bloody borders" will be on Eastern Europe's doorstep and Ireland's shores.

Just think of it. A European Union ruled by the religious vision of Iran equipped with nuclear submarines and ICBMs.
