The rape of Europe
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 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.
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 rather than dead.
my views have probably changed somewhat since then tho. (and so have those of the person i was argueing with!)
