‘Europe Will Fall, But There Will Be Pockets of Resistance’

In his book Seymour: An Introduction, J.D. Salinger has his protagonist give some writing advice: he says you ought to think of the kind of books you want to read, and then write them yourself. I have tried to do that in my books and on Jihad Watch, a website that explains what ‘Jihad’ means and how its actions are inspired by Islamic teachings. It is a place to inform and explain about Jihad. It didn’t exist—so I had to make it. In the last 20 years there hasn’t been a day in which there hasn’t been news to publish.

It is a different biography of Muhammad than the one I wrote in 2006. This new book goes through the stories in Islamic tradition about Muhammad and compares them to other competing traditions, showing that there are variations on practically everything: his name, when he became a prophet, who the angel that appeared to him was, etc. What the book shows is that the Koran is not a historical account but myths and legends that take different forms in different places and times.

Of course. I honestly don’t know how anyone can read this book and, if they are rational, still be a Muslim.

You have spent your career arguing that Islam is not just a religion like any other but that it actually has a unique tendency to encourage extremism. Why are so many people unwilling to even consider such arguments?

For two primary reasons. The first is that there has been a concerted campaign for over 20 years to make people think not only that Islam is peaceful but that if you think otherwise, then you are racist, Islamophobic, hateful, and should not be around any decent human being. As a result, people are frightened into thinking that they must believe Islam is peaceful—even against all the evidence—and that they face personal and professional ruin if they do not believe this or if they publicly deny that it is peaceful, wonderful, and a great benefit for the countries of Europe and North America. It is a propaganda campaign aimed at making people feel afraid of speaking up, ashamed of their beliefs, and socially stigmatised if they tell the truth.

The other reason is because the reality is too terrible to consider. There are millions of Muslims in Europe, and the demographic trends lead to a Muslim majority before the end of the century—and the same is going to happen in North America. The citizens, the native populations of Europe and North America, look at these trends and think: ‘We are facing conquest and Islamization, and the brutal subjugation—and ultimate extinction—of native populations, as has happened in North Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere.’ When people hear such things discussed, it seems too terrible to consider. And, besides, everyone has met Muslims who are good people, so people think these claims must be false; this can’t all really be happening.

Yes—but, at the same time, I think people know it. There are even people who assume that all this is already happening and that it’s too late to reverse. There is no way to change the political order because [the current trend] is too strong, so it is inevitable.

During a ‘Pride’ celebration in Madrid, a journalist asked several attendees what they preferred: an Islamic caliphate or a government with the ‘far Right’ (VOX) in power. The answer was in favour of the caliphate. This reflects the enormous ignorance of a large part of the population.

Young people have been lied to all their lives about what Islam is and about its history. In the United States, there was a concerted effort to change the textbooks—and now all you find is a completely ‘pink’ version of what Islam is, one that has nothing to do with history. These textbooks say nothing about the violence of Jihad, or about the subjugation and extermination of native populations. They only have criticisms of Judaism and Christianity, which generates the idea that Islam is somehow superior to our culture—so why not welcome it?

Countries like Qatar spend money in service of this agenda. Is this money buying the silence and complicity of many in the West?

Yes. For example, Qatar has bought American universities and has invested millions of dollars, so the universities have begun to reflect the views that their funders want to spread. And that’s why this propaganda is so successful—because it’s taught in universities, it’s taught in high schools, you hear it in the media, everywhere. You don’t hear dissenting voices because they are silenced by accusations of racism. Politicians are also afraid because if they don’t accept the narrative that Islam is peaceful and wonderful, then they can be branded as Islamophobic racists—and that, of course, will be the end of their political careers.

U.S. universities are a focus of enthusiastic support for groups like Hamas. How has such brainwashing been possible?

The groundwork for this has been laid for decades. The only framework many students have been given for viewing the world is the Marxist vision of ‘oppressor’ and ‘oppressed,’ which they neatly apply to Israel and Palestine. That is the framework they know, whether it is racial, economic, or territorial. Therefore, the supposed oppressor can never be the victim because this does not fit the narrative they see in the world. Within that narrative, the oppressed sometimes strike back brutally—but this is justified by the greater and more enduring (if hidden) brutality of the oppressor. That is why they justify what happened on 7 October.

Is it impossible to change the narrative no matter what Hamas or any other terrorist group does?

The narrative is a social contagion. I think we have had lessons in recent years about how human beings are stampeded into thinking preposterous things because everybody accepts them. It is like a virus that passes from one person to another. There is no rationality behind it. We have examples in history—like the Salem witch trials in the 17th century—where witnesses swore they saw their neighbours with the devil or talking to evil spirits. It was totally preposterous, but it passed from witness to witness like a virus. This is what is happening now in American universities.

However, we must not give in to this propaganda. That would be a defeat that would have very serious consequences. If the Palestinians and their allies are allowed to set the agenda and dictate their view of reality, there is a chance that Israel will be destroyed in the future. The truth must not be left unsaid.

For example, we often hear that Gaza is an open-air prison. But in a real prison or concentration camp, no missiles are fired into neighbouring territories—so the actions of the Palestinians in Gaza disproves this. Anyone who thinks about it for 30 seconds realises that. Propaganda has money and counts on social contagion, but eventually the truth comes out. Speak the truth and you will be victorious.

This is reflected in my own career speaking about Islam over the last 30 years. When I started—and still to some extent today—to tell the truth about what Islam preaches, many people—Muslim and non-Muslim—accused me of lying. They said there is nothing about Muhammad marrying a nine-year-old girl, or taking sex slaves after battles, etc. And now you have apologists for Islam openly defending child marriage and sex slaves—all of the very things that I was accused of lying about before. So, in the end, the truth comes out.

You mentioned a virus and social contagion. This is very similar to the woke movement.

It’s pretty much the same thing. The woke start saying that men can become women and everybody starts to accept the idea that men can become women. But if they only thought about it for a moment, they would realise that men cannot become women. The problem, however, is that many people are afraid to say so, lest they suffer ostracism and the ruin of their professional and personal careers. So, instead, they accept the claim that men can become women and that their pronouns are they/them. That’s how it works.

We saw a whole display of wokism at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Yes—but there was a positive point because a lot of people saw it and asked themselves: why are they so afraid of Christianity? Why this obsession with trying to destroy Christianity? Some people are starting to think that maybe we need to bring back the traditions that we have discarded and defend our culture. Although I will not be around to see it, I am confident that in 50 years people will say: can you believe that people used to think that men could become women!

I think there is always time, even after they win. Remember the Reconquista: it took eight centuries, but it was a good example of how it can be done. I think this is the most possible scenario in Europe: countries like Sweden, France, the UK, Germany, and possibly Spain, will fall. But there will be pockets of resistance that will never give up—and out of them will come the rebirth of Christianity and the West.

The last 1700 years of Christians killing Christians has decimated the strength of Europe and the West (Just War Theory). As late as WWI 25% of the world’s population was Caucasian Christian. Now We are less than 1/10. Islam will prevail because Satan has bled us and we have left our “first love”…

I’ve read Robert Spencer’s book and cross-verified with many other sources and in my humble opinion, he is correct with his theory in the book.

Muhammad as known in Islam did not exist as a single person.

The word itself is a title and is used only 4 times in the Quran.

There is zero primary account talking about a person Mohammed. This is surprising considering that the region was VERY literate and wrote a lot!

the first mentions of Mo start in the early 8th century and it is around that time that the Quran is written down.

The Sirah (the biography of Mo) and the Hadiths (the sayings of Mo) are written down 200 years after the Arab conquests

As late as WWI 25% of the world’s population was Caucasian Christian.

Doesn't matter if they are white or brown or whatever Christian

Firstly - in the 9th century 1/2 or more of Christians lived in Asia - under the Catholic-Orthodox but even more under the Assyrian Church of the East (and the Armenians, Ethiopians, Copts)

The Assyrian Church had nearly 1/3rd of ALL Christians and it stretched from Iraq and northern Saudi Arabia to Mongolia and to southern India

This was destroyed by Islam over centuries - that was also a tragedy

Who cares if the Christians are Caucasian or not, as long as they are Christian

He’s irrationally optimistic. If Islam can make Europe fall, it can surely handle “pockets of resistance.”
Not that I even believe there will be pockets of resistance. There aren’t enough real men left (we all know what is meant by the term). If there were, they’d be “resisting” now, and not just in Europe.
There are exceptions, at the moment. Not enough. Not even close. No doubt they have marvelous reasons for not “resisting” just yet.
Cue the Planet of the Apes finale.

Its definitely not politically correct any longer to describe a “clash of civilizations”. However that is what is happening. The outcome would not be in doubt but the West has been deconstructing and transforming its values into non sustainable mush. The Islamic civilization flawed but fervent has a good chance of overwhelming the decadent West.

Furthermore, your number is incorrect As late as WWI 25% of the world’s population was Caucasian Christian.

25% of the world's population was Europe based - and don't forget that there were quite a few Mohammedans there in the Balkans and in the Caucasus

Christianity is growing in Africa and in Asia

And that's by conversion. Islam's conversion numbers is mostly through cousin-marriages, so that causes a large number of genetic defects

So he is at once too pessimistic and too optimistic.

I consider them to be Christians who have a paler skin color.

The skin color is irrelevant.

There are “white Caucasian Mohammedans” - do you consider yourself to be on “their side”?

Even the entire “whiteness” is daft - being proud of your ETHNIC background makes far more sense than the color of your skin. Being a proud Polish-American or Russian-American or German-American or Scottish-Irish has far more tangibility than “white”.

Regarding “black” - this had some significance when the majority of “black skinned” folks were ex-slaves who had lost their ethnic identities and had to build new ones.

But today - a black person from Alabama has more cultural and linguistic commonalities with a white person from that area, vs a Harvard educated “black skinned” person.

This was seen in Obama and in Harris - both have no connection with the “descendants of ex-slaves” - rather they were raised by their mothers and fit in those cultures.

Last year I was in the Benelux region and northern France and I found “nothing” - the Christianity was gone in the French speaking parts of Belgium, in urban northern France and in the Netherlands (not so much in Flanders), but it was replaced by “nothing” - not even Islam, just “nothing”.

The leftists blaming people for the color of their skin is racist.

you using the same terminology means that they have won.

You should be happy that you received Christ full stop, not about the color of your skin.

Why are you playing into the leftist DEI propaganda?

Tom Kratman has a disturbing take on the future of Europe:

Caliphate, by Tom Martian

"Slavery is a part of Islam . . . Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam." —Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan, author of the religious textbook At-Tawhid ("Monotheism") and senior Saudi cleric.
Demography is destiny. In the 22nd century European deathbed demographics have turned the continent over to the more fertile Moslems. Atheism in Europe has been exterminated. Homosexuals are hanged, stoned or crucified. Such Christians as remain are relegated to dhimmitude, a form of second class citizenship. They are denied arms, denied civil rights, denied a voice, and specially taxed via the Koranic yizya. Their sons are taken as conscripted soldiers while their daughters are subject to the depredations of the continent's new masters.
In that world, Petra, a German girl sold into prostitution as a slave at the age of nine to pay her family's yizya, dreams of escape. Unlike most girls of the day, Petra can read. And in her only real possession, her grandmother's diary, a diary detailing the fall of European civilization, Petra has learned of a magic place across the sea: America.
But it will take more than magic to free Petra and Europe from their bonds; it will take guns, superior technology, and a reborn spirit of freedom.
