Left Allows Europe to Fall to Muslims

[T.L.Sink]

In a recent interview, Prof. Bernard Lewis, famed historian and leading expert on Islam, warned that "Muslims seem to be about to take over Europe." Was the fall of Europe inevitable? No, according to Prof. Lewis, who says it's coming about because "Europeans have surrendered on every issue regarding Islamic demands, due to political correctness and multi-culturalism."

Europe has become woefully secular and its tepid attachment to a forgotten and dismissed Christianity is no match for the zeal of Muslims who remain fervent in their faith.

Having been force fed that all cultures are equally valid, Europeans consider it unenlightened to assert the primacy of their culture even in their own countries.

"Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder." -- Arnold Toynbee

Babylon's fall was due to multiculturalism too.. this disease has plagued humanity for eons.

[lndrvr1972]

Yes and the Muslims are very aware of that..

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

The first rule of any culture is the protection of pregnant women and children.

It is not the Muslims alone.

When a law is made that allow the planned murder of the most helpless, that culture is dieing from within.

[GSlob]

Toynbee was dead wrong. There have been rather few civilizations, thus rather few civilization deaths, but at least sometimes civilizations die by murder. Say, Mezoamerican civs finished off by the Spanish. Another example would be the tribal cultures of North America [together comprising a primitive civilization], which survive on reservations only.

"Europeans have surrendered on every issue regarding Islamic demands, due to political correctness and multi-culturalism."

They are getting many of their demands met in the USofA, too. They are using the ole Jesse Jackson shakedown techniques, fear, intimidation, racism, intolerance, human rights, civil rights.

[Porterville]

Anarchist don't follow laws... That is why we should take over Europe and put an American King in charge.

And if they had not the liberals would have been painted with the brush of evil by comparing them to a certain German group who ruled in the 1930's and 40's.

Better to jump in bed with the devil than to be painted with the broad brush of Naziism.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Repost!
And if they had not the liberals would have painted THEM with the brush of evil..

Brit Hume's joke about John Kerry, and all the jokes about his "Frenchiness" during the campaign are, unfortunately true. He and many other rich Americans feel more at home in Davos than in Dallas.

"Europeans have surrendered on every issue regarding Islamic demands, due to political correctness and multi-culturalism."

The French of all people are resisting the wearing of the veil.

Got that right, Tom...and, when I put a graduate level "Civilizations in Conflict" seminar on the street at the local college in 2003, I was confronted at all levels in the local academic regime with resistance and non-support. The M/C, P/C sycophants were so obvious in their discomfort it was almost humorous -- were they not so deadly dangerous!

The good news was that the seminar was a huge success -- and I even had a couple of liberals participating in the seminar change their stripes as a result of the serious issues we delved into.

Huntington, Lewis, Pipes, Johnson, Gaddis et al were widely studied...and Fukuyama's ludicrous (Globalist) position was destroyed in a New York Minute!

Vacuums love to be filled.

[paudio]

Leftists fall into believing that Judeo-Christian Europe is cultural imperialist who oppressed other cultures, including Islamic culture. So, to make an egaliterian world, the 'strong' imperialist must be made weak so that it would recognize the 'others'.

This, ironically I'm using Edward Said's work here, is inherently imperialist world view because it sees the 'others' as the 'weak' ones that need to be helped.

[MarkL]

Allows? Heck, the left will be cheering. Right up until the moment that they're about to have their heads sawed off, or a wall pushed over onto them.

[FLOutdoorsman]

Toynbee's point was without uniting your civ. under a purpose instead of infighting and not collectively repelling an aggressive force is considered suicide.

Which is the case with the Americas, infighting and other tribal differences failed to unite and repel the Spanish.

[Sterm26]

And the Left (and some elements of the Right) in the USA are accomodating our fall to 3rd world dishwashers. But hey, at least they ain't Muslim.

[GSlob]

Civilizations can die, and have died, by genocide or forced assimilation. Indeed, one could argue that such an end [by applied external force] IS the typical death of a civilization. Genocide is not a suicide.

[Dallas59]

Then the EU idiots will come over here...No way.

[originalbuckeye]

I told my British sister-in-law 2 years ago that I figured France would be the first to fall to the Muslims. Surrender monkeys. I believe that Britain will soon take more control of their Muslim population. I hope the rest of Europe follows suit behind Britain.

All countries, all cultures need to celebrate their commonality. It is all that we have left that binds us as a nation.
