Peace and stability in Western societies are under increasing pressure from immigrants whose ethnic prejudices, brutality, and contempt for democratic values generate conflict.
The Thirty Years’ War was hard on Europe. So profound were the ramifications of the Christian schism that doubts arose as to whether the wounds could ever be healed. Leaving trails of mutilation and destruction behind them, armies of unscrupulous mercenaries terrorized civilians in both the countryside and the cities, testing their faith to the limit. It felt as if God had abandoned his children forever. Landscapes marred by burnt crops, pillaged homes, and piles of human cadavers resembled the antechamber of hell.
Catholics and Protestants are no longer at war with each other. On the contrary, without any children to baptize or any confidence in the future, Christians are resigning themselves to oblivion. Nevertheless, in the past thirty years, they have witnessed war-like conditions evolve in Western Europe.
In broad terms, the tragedy originates from a spiritual (moral) collapse, which is particularly evident at the higher education institutions, and unrestrained immigration from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. In the grip of (a) social activism, (b) historical revisionism, and (c) moral relativism, the progressive elite has opened the borders to people rooted in deeply divided, undemocratic societies characterized by the unchecked dominance of warring clans, indiscriminate violence, and ubiquitous abuse of power (e.g. nepotism, bribery, and extortion).
Showing a minimum of ethnological insight and without a clue about the critical importance of cultural (not “racial”) homogeneity — or high-degree compatibility, at least — for the layout of the modern welfare society, as we know it, Western leaders have put the survival of civilization at risk. Regrettably, they fail to appreciate how precious it really is.

Unless it is intentional destruction of Western Civilization. I think this is the case.
True. Barbarians Without Borders will annihilate any civilization. Witness current events worldwide.
The asylum process of taking in people who can’t even get along with people nearly identical to themselves needs to end.
There are wealthy and powerful people who hate European Christian civilization.
This is so familiar. If you ever read about the Bronze Age Collapse, it's pretty much the same scenario
Cultures on their way to developed writing, archaeology, technology, agricultural advances, etc. ... getting run over by waves of crude, barbaric and wholly brutish groups!
“islam” and “muslim” are not in the article, so this author completely misses the point for Europe.
They'll burn a nation to the ground and rule over the ashes before giving up power.
In an interview with LBC in London, famed atheist Richard Dawkins offered two startling admissions: first, that he mourned the loss of much of what reflects the Christian faith in the world, and second, that he would consider himself a “cultural” Christian. He stated:“I do think we are culturally a Christian country. I call myself a cultural Christian. I’m not a believer, but there is a distinction between being a believing Christian and a cultural Christian … I love hymns and Christmas carols and I sort of feel at home in the Christian ethos, and I feel that we are a Christian country in that sense … [I] would not be happy if, for example, we lost all our cathedrals and our beautiful parish churches.”
Dawkins even added that if he had to choose between Christianity and Islam, he would choose Christianity every single time: “It seems to me to be a fundamentally decent religion, in a way that I think Islam is not.”
