They are losing their country, and have watched their citizens get murdered. The only chance I see for France is rebellion by those who want to save her.

Yet in the US Jewish citizens vote overwhelmingly for politicians that are either pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, or both. Why? I honestly don't understand it, although I think part of it is that because of all the historical oppression of Jews, culminating last century in the Holocaust, there are many who identify with the nominal ‘oppressed’, and this is how Palestinians have been portrayed in the media, the UN, and by themselves.

“It would seem that Europeans prefer the (what Professor Victor Hanson calls), “Latte generation” which means that as long as they can go about their daily, secular, materialistic lives and sip latte in the Coffee houses, all is well.”

This characterization captures it exceptionally well, and the ‘latte generation’ is ubiquitous in Europe and the US. Part of the problem is our educational systems that instead of opening minds actually seem to put a cataract on the ability to see reality.

Or better yet, evangelize and bring more people to Christ.

You give an excellent synopsis of the unholy alliance between islam and secular leftism. The muzzies will play along until the Christians and conservatives are sidelined politically and the military kneecapped by the “diversity” gestapo, then they will turn on their former allies. Think Hitler-Stalin and the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. When the feminists and homosexuals are kneeling before their executioners, they will be pleading for some “insensitive” heterosexual male soldiers to save them.

It also goes back to when Sarah told Abraham to father a child via Hagar and we had seen how that work out.

I think I need a little more proof before believing the church where the priest was butchered is now a parking lot!!

I’ve always gone to Mass in Paris and visited their churches. The funny thing is the parishioners, priests and nuns within them are far more conservative and reverent than anyone you see in an American Catholic Church. I’ve seen nuns in traditional habit playing the violin during Church concerts and was once helped to my seat and given a missal by a young man who saw me searching around for a spot to sit. The parishioners actually meditate in prayer instead of talking to their families and shaking hands with their pew mates! The churches have real tapers instead of tacky red lights; the French sense of beauty still exists within their churches...

It goes back to the Bible BUT...both Judaism and Christianity have MOVED ON, matured and adapted while Islam is still trapped in the past...

This is what happens when a nation turns its back on Christ. The French have no core and nothing to rally around. And oh yeah they will host the 2024 Olympic Games - ha ha ha fat chance! Their muslim animal masters won’t allow it.

When a country loses the faith, the headslicers are ready to move in and impose their “morality” on the country.

Really sad that this is being cheered on by the man who currently occupies the Chair of Peter.

If Germany re-elects Merkel then it will be the beginning of the end for sure. If, however they oust her in the next elections, there is hope...

You're a prophet?

No I am not claiming to be a Prophet but it is obvious that the Germans opened the flood gates for the rest of Europe and Merkel is their main proponet.

She has utterly failed in protecting her people and the people of Europe. IF the Germans keep her in power things can only deteriorate.

Based on what you may ask? Look at the record. While making Germany prosperous she has bankrupted southern Europe and they allowed the Trojan (Muslim) horse into the heart of fortress Europe.

As a student of history and one who is VERY close to Islamic thought and behavior, it can be said with relative accuracy what awaits a zero population growth, Christian Europe.

Look at where we were in 1970 and then advance in 10 year intervals...things have not gotten better inside of Europe.

As a matter of fact while they delude themselves sipping Latte, the infiltration continues.

If you want a taste of what is to come, go to a site called, “The Gates of Vienna”.

I am not a conspiratorialist or paranoid boy who cried wolf - the writing is on the wall for Germany and Europe.

Just look at Malmo Sweden now.

So, Prophet, no, realist, I think yes.

Ok, I’ve been back a week now and am trying to catch up. Plan to write up my experiences and thoughts in the next few days. I was working at a military base and actually flying (in a civilian capacity for test purposes) on military aircraft over there so I will try and share pertinent items for the forum. God bless.
