I agree, to something like 99%.
My father got in touch with a wonderful East German family through work shortly after the wall came down.
In 1989, they dwelled in what I’d call a closet. Two very gifted adults and a newborn daughter, both parents having university education.
Ten years from that, the nice Volvo we arrived in when sneaking up their driveway to their very nice house was ridiculed by their brand new car (also a Volvo).
Enjoing high material standards of living isn’t everything, but true freedom tends to go hand in hand with it.
Why not view reality as it is?
Back to the issue of Islam.
Many Europeans are damn tired of PC politicians and various sorts of appeasement towards the ROP.
Sooner or later, Europe must react.
There is work to be done.
Hey, innocent citizens of USA and Spain have recently been murdered by al-Qaida terrorists, do we as Westerns and human beings accept this?
I, as a Westerner and as a human being, don’t.
Freedom has a price, but it IS worth the cost.
Furthermore, America is not alone.
Never forget this.
I hope that your optimism regarding Europe's future course is correct and my pessimism is wrong.Obviously,you're much closer to the situation than am I.Although I'm an EU citizen (through ancestry) I've never lived there and,if I ever do in the future (I *LOVE* Italy!),it will be as a temporary "tourist" rather than as a permanent arrangement.
IMO,if Europe eventually falls...which I,admittedly,believe will happen....Western civilization and culture itself is in grave danger.It's *that* serious.
