The trickle of refugees began many months ago. They came to Europe at the invitation
of several countries that were experiencing a declining population and wanted to be sure that they had enough workers for the future. The trickle turned into a stream which has now turned into a raging river. The alarms went off early as the first wave reached Europe. There was something odd about these refugees. Most were male between the ages of 15-35. One reporter remarked that over 80% were " fighting age men"without families. European Democratic Socialist leaders ignored this warning sign as they often do. This will prove to be a grave mistake. "Liberalism is the ideology of Western suicide," wrote James Burnham in his 1964 "Suicide of the West." Burnham predicted that the mindless magnanimity of liberals, who subordinate the interests of their own people and nations to utopian and altruistic impulses, would bring about an end to Western civilization
Since 9/11, the Western world's academic, media, political elites have done their best to portray Islam in a favorable light, treating it very differently from all other religions.
The refugees flocking into Europe are not just from
Syria or other mid-eastern countries, they are from Africa, Indonesia, and eastern Asia. When the Europeans leaders allowed immigration and opened up their countries they never expected a deluge of muslims from around the world. It is not immigration, it is an invasion. Immigrants assimilate, invaders do not.
Anjem Choudary is a British Muslim social and political activist. He expresses the views of a western Muslim about the new beginning for Europe. He spoke first about changing
western laws, "The difference between divine law and man-made law—in other words liberal democracy, moralities, and liberties—is that divine law can’t be changed. We can’t change the Koran, we can’t change the sayings of the Prophet, which include insulting the Prophet and the consequences. But you can change your laws…If the West’s laws are not change, he warned, we’ll have a “blood bath.”
This week, in Paris, we had that bloodbath. Choudary explained that Muslim scripture made clear that those who insult the Prophet, like the French journalists at Charlie Hebdo, must be punished: “Those who would insult the Prophet, kill them.” Sharia Law he said, clearly requires any who would insult those Muslims deem “prophets,” be tried in court and punished. This a system, he added, that Muslims are willing to “fight for and even die for.” Choudary said he wanted Sharia Law in
its entirety to be imposed on Western governments because it was a “better” system. When asked what the cult of islam thought our right of freedom of expression he stated, "Contrary to popular misconception, Islam does not mean peace but rather means submission to the commands of Allah alone. Therefore, Muslims do not believe in the concept of freedom of expression, as their speech and actions are determined by divine revelation and not based on people's desires."
In the 21st century, it is a true shock to be reminded that anyone could regard a cartoon
as a legitimate cause to slaughter human beings. Muslims who treat offensive depictions of the prophet Muhammad as grounds for execution are the most conspicuous examples of that tragic failure to evolve. These are not the actions of sane individuals. It is killing for killings sake, legalized murder and barbarity in the name of a false, so-called, religion. All of us have been confronted with pronouncements and images we find despicable or unspeakable. But we have overcome the barbaric impulse to use violence to punish or silence the offender.
