This essay from 10 years ago has been posted on this forum in years past, but given the way things are unfolding in Europe, the Middle East and the U.S., I though it relevant to post it again.

Europe is post-Christian, aged and decadent.
Eurabia will inevitably arise to fill the spiritual, demographic and moral void.
Europe lost its manhood.

Charles Martel rose to fight off the invading foreign Islamic forces.
The problem with Europe today, is that the Islamic forces have already invaded and settled in.
A internal war is so much more difficult.

Charles Martel stopped the 100 year conquest of Western Europe by the Islamic hordes.

Thanks - I can’t believe I missed this the first time around but I’m not losing track of it now. Powerful for those who will consider the reality and the details. Too much logic here for typical libs. Too many exploding heads.

I read that story shortly after it came out, and several times since. Not knowing those last 3 words is STILL driving me nuts.

Quite true., At Tours, France he and his sturdy Franks defeated the Islamic Horde.

Great story, and sadly more reality than fiction. There has been, however, glimmers of hope starting to sparkle in Europe. First was Britain breaking away from the EU. Then the shocking news that Germany was beginning to tighten their borders. Still not too late, but they had better move fast, and they had better be ruthless as well.

I have read Darwin’s Blade, Hyperion series and Ilium series. Liked them all.
What would you recommend as next?

I’m guessing it’s the three-word version of Allah Akbar - “Allah Hu Akbar”.

“It was not the horrors of his revelations about my grandchildren that had shaken me the most deeply, shaken me to the core of my core, but rather the the Time Travelers last three words. Three words that any Replayer or time traveler visiting here from a century or more from now would react to first and most emotionally three words I will not share here in this piece nor ever plan to share, at least until everyone on Earth knows them three words that will keep me awake nights for months and years to come.”
“Wake up people” or “Allah hu ackbar” are good tries, but don’t meet the criteria above. It (IMHO) refers to some event, or some place. Simmons hasn’t ever commented...maybe it was a complete tease, and there were never any particular words that he had in mind, but it is fun to speculate.

“A Winter Haunting.” An excellent read. Simmons work is amazing. I’ve read that one every few years - try it! Let me know how you like it. :)
