Europe's Mixed Reaction...Refugee crisis part 3

The greatest migration of refugees since World War 2 is currently happening, and I believe it is of immense and prophetic significance. Millions of people are fleeing from the horrors and depredations of the Syrian Civil War ,and at the same time millions of people in Africa have seen in this the opportunity to piggy back along with the refugees, on into Europe.

It so happens that these migrants and refugees are predominantly Muslim.

Several circumstances have come together, which have presented this unprecedented opportunity for third world peoples to escape the squalor and dysfunction of their own homes, and to make the trek north into a more prosperous Europe, and sign up for their share, (and in many cases, several shares) of Europe’s lavish social welfare system.

What are these circumstances?

1) The existence of Socialistic welfare States-When Muslims were turned away from the gates of Europe in the days of Charles Martel and Jan Sobieski, they never dreamed that the day would come when they would be welcomed into France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom in the millions and enrolled on the perpetual dole at the expense of the European taxpayers. They would have no doubt enforced a Jizya tax,(Tax on Unbelievers) had they conquered the European nations, but they would have never dreamed that free money to live on, would be voluntarily given to them indefinitely, by the governments of the Kufir.(Unbeliever).

2) The “De-Christianization” of Europe- The twentieth century, with its popular antiChristian ideologies, and the World Wars that sprang out of them, has bled Europe in particular of faith. There are Christians there, but Atheism is the prevailing worldview in places like France and Germany. Europe has never recovered from World War 1! Christians are an ever decreasing monority and have little discernible influence on the culture. When the “Cultus” (Spirituality) is stripped from the culture, the house is empty, swept and cleansed” as Jesus warned.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.( Luke 11:23-25)

The Spiritual world of Nations, families and individuals cannot abide a vacuum. People without any faith, cannot successfully resist people of a faith, even if the faith is as twisted and deformed as Islam. When Europe was Christian she resisted Islam, but not anymore!

3) The “Planned Barrenness” of much of Europe- Part of the outcome of the spiritual barrenness of Europe is the literal, physical barrenness. The sexual revolution of the sixties, all but destroyed Love, marriage, and child-bearing. It is too inconvenient and expensive to have children, the goal since the sixties was ZPG (Zero Population Growth). This may be one of the reasons Germany in particular announced that she would receive 800,000 “refugees” over the next year. The United States itself agreed for a modest 10,000(Too many in my view), but why would Germany with 80,000,000 population want an influx of 800,000 Muslims? The German birthrate is near zero replacement, as are the Italian, the Belgian, the Spanish and French and British.

A socialistic welfare State needs constant workers. Those modern, sixties couples who bought into the culture of death and barrenness, and who scoffed at the big families of their ancestors, are now in danger of not being supported in their old age, unless warm bodies are brought in to replace the retiring work force of taxpayers to support the system.

What will an influx of Muslim refugees amounting to one percent of the population, do to a civilized nation such as Germany? For a sampler, google “Rotherham Scandal”, to see what happens when our “Leaders” open the floodgates of our cities and villages to an alien culture. Rotherham teaches us that a terrible sacrifice is required of the gods of multiculturalism.

Other nations in Southern and Eastern Europe are holding a harder line. The nation of Slovakia agreed to accept refugees as long as they are Christians, Hungary has been overwhelmed with 130,00 refugees, and is working on a wall to try to bring some order to the passage of refugees, most of whom are trying to get into Germany.

Hungary, which has seen an influx of about 130,000 migrants this year, is to send several thousand police officers to the southern border with Serbia in a new effort to stem the rising flow of migrants.

Janos Lazar, Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff, has claimed the country is ‘under an organised attack’ by human traffickers who aren’t only transporting migrants but instructing them about how to abuse the European Union’s refugee system. Hungary is currently building a 110 mile razor-wire fence along the border with Serbia, and is bringing in laws which will make crossing into the country illegally punishable by a prison sentence. West Hasn’t got Enough Mosquess

Poland has come under criticism for refusing to accept more refugees. Hungary’s president Victor Orban is coming under fire for warning that the Immigrants threaten the Christian character of Europe-

“”We shouldn’t forget that the people who are coming here grew up in a different religion and represent a completely different culture. Most are not Christian, but Muslim…. That is an important question, because Europe and European culture have Christian roots,” he wrote.”MUSLIMS THREATEN HUNGARY”S CHRISTIAN IDENTITY

A perspective from the other side explains the differences between the Western guilt oriented culture vs. Islamic shame and honour oriented cultures:
An Iranian ex-pat, Rita Malik tells her perspective on these issues as an outsider to Western culture:

As I have observed, you, Westerners now for close to 20 year that I have lived amongst you, I have learned that you are a people that think you are responsible for all the things that go on in the world.

You are obsessively solution oriented people, which means you think for any problem that we have in this world, there must be a solution and you implement various solutions to international problems that you see around you. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t.

You also are a highly responsible people and when even the slightest thing goes wrong you are very angry and indignant about it and you quickly want to find the one responsible for it and punish him. You quickly look for someone to sue.

Being a guilt oriented culture (as oppose to shame and honour oriented) also you are very quick to take responsibility when you feel (real or imagined) that you did something wrong and quickly start to beat your chests in a public mea culpa and engage in a proverbial self-flagellation.

All of the above make you incapable of understanding people from my neck of the woods and yours and our tendencies have made a really toxic combination on the world stage.

Why? Because we in the Middle East are a very irresponsible and fatal lot. When things go wrong for us (as they often do) we never fuss over why they went wrong too much. We expect things to go wrong all the time as part of the natural process of things and when they do we don’t try to find the guilty party to sue him. Analysis and self reflection and making sure it will never happen again and stuff like that are highly alien activities to us.

Unless of course what went wrong causes us shame and embarrassment, in which case we will do anything possible to deflect blame from ourselves, especially if we have a hunch that it actually was our fault. We will make a lot of noise, give lots of excuses and engage in a lot of blame shifting. We role up in fetal position and pretend that we are actually the prime victims of what went wrong, all the while knowing full well that we have caused the damn thing to go wrong ourselves!

All of that dysfunctional behaviour is highly exacerbated if there is a willing person (or country or culture) who is gladly taking all the blame for our behaviour on himself and has the peculiar tendency to totally disregard our role in what went wrong.

Now this toxic mix applies to the politics and wars in the Middle East and in the 3rd world in general in this following way:

We in the Middle East have a problem for example we have a brutal dictator like Saddam.Then you see that we are suffering and people are being tortured in his prison and you wonder how you could help. Then Saddam invades Kuwait. You decide, enough is enough and attack and free Kuwait, but you decide not to go all the way in and remove Saddam. Then Saddam, angrier than ever lashes out even more at his own people and kills2 lots of dissidents and gases the Kurds.

Now all of this becomes your fault, because you didn’t finish the job and didn’t remove Saddam. Then Saddam continues his bad behaviour and now he is even trying to develop WMDs. This time you say, enough is enough and you go in and remove him. You offer democracy and financial aid on a plater to the Iraqis. Now in post Saddam Iraq Shias and Sunnis start to fight and chaos starts to reign and no matter how much you try you cannot properly pacify the country. So now all of this chaos becomes your fault. Everybody says that you should not have intervened and removed Saddam because even though he was brutal, he was keeping everyone in line and preventing Shias and Sunnis from killing each other. So now what do you do? You say OK! Enough is enough, we leave and won’t intervene again because we just made a mess. So you pull out your troops, and now what? The Shia vs. Sunni fight exacerbates and even war and chaos spreads to the rest of the region. In Syria you decided not to intervene and now ISIS has taken over. So now you assume that the rise of ISIS was somehow your fault as well. But had you actually intervened and tried to put a regime that was a bit more manageable than ISIS, you would have been blaming yourself for having installed a puppet regime who would predictably torture everyone and make people miserable and want to leave their country. Damed if you do, damned if you don’t seems to be the destiny of any policy that you pursue in the 3rd World.

People are still blaming the West for not having intervened in Rwanda in the 90s when 800 thousand people where killed, while simultaneously blaming the West for intervening in Iraq, Somalia and elsewhere.

In all of these blame and regrets one thing is missing, assigning responsibility to the people of the 3rd world themselves, who are actually the primary causes of the chaos and mayhem in their own countries, as if we are passive objects that if you push the wrong button in us we will inevitably act in a certain way. West was NOT at fault for the genocide in Rwanda! The Rwandans were! West is not at fault for the chaos in the Middle East, we Middle Easterners are! We are the one’s who have a bloodlust and long to shed each other’s blood for silly reasons. Your “failure” to stop us from destroying ourselves IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!!!! We are a confusing and hard to deal with lot! Please get that!!!

In dealing with us, people of the Middle East, you have had, and will have one long series of lose-lose options. There are no win-lose options! None! When dealing with irresponsible and bloodthirsty cultures you cannot have good outcomes, no matter how much you wreck your heads and try to come up with a policy that would work and bring peace and prosperity to us! It will not happen! We are the ones who have to change and do some self-reflection and soul-searching in order to maybe,… just maybe, learn to be a bit more civilised!

Meanwhile, all that I ask of you is that, whether you decide to intervene or not in our affairs, keep your expectation of the outcome low, accept no responsibility for the outcome, put the blame for the negative outcome of what ever policy you pursued where it belongs (on us!) so that we won’t have the chance to save our face despite our countries being in an embarrassing mess, and feel like victims when we should be soul-searching, and for the sake of anything that you hold holy and dear, please don’t wreck your nice and orderly and civilised societies and advanced cultures, by taking millions of refugees, in order to save us from the mess thad has nothing to do with you and came about despite your best efforts, that we have caused with our own hands, and given half the chance, we will cause in your countries as well as soon as we settle down here, or even sooner!

Thank you!

Islam has been engaged in a war of world conquest since about 620. This so called refugee surge is the latest attempt to conquer Europe.
