A small number of Muslim refugees are already converting to Christianity. They may form the seed of a future revival of Christianity, after Europe enters a Muslim dark age.

Yes, but it would not be so much of a revival as a first flowering of Christianity - a wave of conversions in other words - because most of Europe has been essentially pagan in culture for decades.

And we’re not far behind on this side of the pond either.

Islam is a political system, not merely a religion. Its societies operate like the former Soviet Union - control of all thought, action and word.

Islamic societies that are developing in Europe are like cells of the former Communist Party. They replicate the same thought pressure that exists in the migrants’ former country.

If Muslims are taken out of that environment, perhaps there is a chance

As a very first step - State support to this parallel society and islamic political system must end, in terms of unlimited migration, and particularly in terms of all nanny-state financial and welfare support.

The 280-year comment of existence being ‘illegal’ is false. The Romans allowed virtually every single region they conquered to continue their internal religious situation. The Jews, the Egyptians, etc....all continued their practices allowed by public standards, to continue under the Roman Empire.

But historical evidence shows that the love for freedom is a biological part of human nature.

I think that it's misleading to take something specific to our time and place and extrapolate from that to "human nature."

The concepts of liberty and Constitutionally limited government that many Americans take for granted are a relatively recent innovation that has largely been limited to Anglo-American culture and (to a much lesser extent) other Western European countries. There were no such concepts in Medieval and ancient Europe, much less in the Middle East and Asia. Most of civilized human history has been characterized by monarchs, tyrants, and theocrats, with very few people complaining about it or even recognizing that there may be an alternative way of doing things.

As to your main point, of resurgent Christianity emerging in opposition to Islamism, it may be possible in places like Eastern Europe or among Middle Eastern Christians. However, most Western European nationalist movements today are secular, and their opposition to Islam is motivated by the threat Muslim theocracy poses to secular civil society.

Sorry but not a chance in heck.
France, Spain and Portugal churches are being crushed by the cost to maintain their Cathedrals.
Decreasing membership and increasing costs is a death spiral.

This is more likely a lie being floated by pro-immigrants to justify more Muslims coming to the EU.

There will be a Christian revival during the Tribulation. 500 years from now we will be in the Millenial Kingdom.

Every feedback loop is driven by errors.

The creation and existence of pro-Christian, pro-conservative political parties, worldwide, would help to revive worldwide Christianity, too!

Christianity is dying most places due to leftists. Muslims are simply the people who will inherit what the leftists have already destroyed.

To save the west, we need to first destroy the left. Then we need to put churches back in charge local communities. And finally we need to reestablish the biblical patriarchy to restore our families. If you want an example of this happening look to Russia and I think soon Hungary.

The left must be resisted and eventually destroyed or our civilization is lost.
