In 1621, the city of Chocim in today's western Ukraine witnessed a mighty battle between the Polish-Lithuanian Empire and an invading Ottoman army. Chocim is rightly remembered by Poland as a victory, although the conflict ended in a political draw. But this stalemate was fought by only about 50,000 men against three times as many Turks and Mongols. After the death of the Polish commander-in-chief, Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, it was Stanisław Lubomirski (1583–1649), not yet forty years old, who turned the tide in favor of Warsaw.
Chocim was not the first battle in this war against Muslim aggression. Already in 1619, Poland's King Sigismund III Wasa (1566/1587–1632) had saved the ruler Ferdinand II (1578/1619–1637) by defeating Hungarian vassals of the sultan, saving Vienna and Germany's imperial crown.
Chocim prevented a further expansion of the caliphate, but much of Hungary remained Turkish, and the sultans were only waiting for a new opportunity to push westward. In 1672, with 80,000 men, Muslim forces were able to reconquer Chocim and entire Polish provinces. Against Hetman Jan Sobieski (1629/1674–1696), however, the Ottomans suffered a second defeat at Chocim in 1673.
The significance of these Polish accomplishments did not go unnoticed in the free Republic of the Netherlands. Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe (1645–1708) — forefather of all bloggers with his engraved texts critical of the times — sensed the deeper meaning of Poland's victories at Chocim. For the first time, the Occident was now able to defend itself. That is why de Hooghe immortalized Sobieski in 1674, showing him as a Hercules and savior of Europe.
The Dutch intellectual was not mistaken. In 1683, Sobieski, king of Poland since 1674, risked everything in a do-or-die battle against the Turkish army besieging Vienna, whose emperor, Leopold I (1640/1658–1705), had already run away.

Religion of peace?
Read the koran.
Lying to Christians is a mooselimb virtue and is promoted by the koran.
I studied islam for a year for a college course and was shocked by the verbiage that is purported to be a 'religion of peace'.
They don’t have enough children this time around. There are significant Islamic populations in most of the major countries of Europe. This makes things much more difficult.

What are you suggesting? Another Holocaust, Armageddon? Mark Davis said if another 911 occurred on our soil 13 Arab capitols should turn into glass. That wouldn’t do it.
The author of the article skips over the date of that crucial 1683 battle of Vienna, the date which marked the vfc end of Islam’s expansion and began its decline.

In fact, at the pediatrician down stairs, the Islamic women often had 3 or more babies with them.
For the record, I didn't just pick some random doctor either, he came highly recommended by the German women in my husband's office.
Somebody hasn’t read the ending of The Book.
It isn’t a coincidence decapitation is the penalty for not taking the mark. Who else is going to be the enforcers? Islam has a parallel eschatology too.
Poland defended Europe from Bolshevism in 1920 too.
They recommended a doctor they apparently didn’t visit?
Precisely. Demographics are destiny. My personal opinion is that World War II culled quite a few Alpha Males from the population of Europe. Three or so generations we are seeing the results. There are outliers like the Swiss and Swedes but overall the European population is screwed.
