Islamist thinkers see emigration as an opportunity to conquer the places where they want to live and turn them into Islamic states.
In the Muslim world, emigration is understood in a very different way and is based on the precedent set by Islam’s prophet, Mohammed, who was humiliated, despised and almost murdered in his birthplace of Mecca. The antagonism shown to him was the result of the doomsday prophecies he made to the people of the city and his attempts to ‘re-educate’ them. After leaving Mecca in 622 AD, he moved to Medina and, after a period of about two years, became ruler and military commander there, as well as statesman.
Muhammad is seen as the ideal role model in Islam, the leader whose life was guided by a heavenly hand. This means that every Muslim, wherever he is and whatever situation he finds himself in, must follow in the footsteps of Muhammad and imitate his behavior. Because emigration led to a rise in the status of Muhammad, and his conquest and Islamization of Medina, Islamist thinkers see emigration as an opportunity to conquer the places they want to live and turn them into Islamic states.
The millions of Muslims who have been knocking on Europe’s doors in recent years come from failed, war-torn states, riddled with unemployment, neglect and despair. They are looking for a safe environment, honorable work, education for their children, a roof over their heads and a safe, fulfilling life. Once they achieve economic stability in their host country, many also integrate culturally and become part of the society in which they find themselves. They break their ties with Islamic tradition, eat what is put on their plates and drink what is poured into their cups.
In contrast, there are millions of Muslims who have settled in Europe and have a clear purpose: remain faithful to their religious tradition while strengthening their status in Europe. They make demands whose aim is to make the host country an even more hospitable country: they ensure the availability of halal food without alcohol and pork, courts acting according to Islamic Sharia rather than local statutes, not marking Christian holidays, eliminating Holocaust education that includes the genocide of the Jews, establishing a banking system according to Islamic law, and allowing Muslim women to wear the niqab that covers their faces in public spaces. They want their women to be treated by female medical staff and not by men.
It is abundantly clear to anyone who keeps an eye open that those Muslim migrants who do not integrate into the society of the European host country intend to turn that state into an Islamic entity. They don’t have to fire a single bullet to achieve this – and it’s fine for them if the process takes decades, because the Quran states that “Allah is with those who are patient”, so the Islamic world is quite capable of waiting patiently for its goals to be achieved.
Muammar Gaddafi, former Libyan president, once said that “we Muslims do not need to fire a single shot at Europe, because our emigration and our high birth rate will do the job.” The problem with the Europeans is that they are forced to take in migrants because of their failing demography. Two world wars within a century have reduced their population by tens of millions (in addition to six million Jews) and when added to their low birth rates, create a drastic shortage of manpower.
Those remaining are interested in law, accounting, journalism, hi-tech and performing arts. Who will continue to work in the factories? Who is willing to become a greengrocer? a taxi driver? a delivery person? That’s where the migrants come in and give an answer.
Europe is slowly but surely progressing in an Islamic direction. The core problem is that Europe is infected with political correctness, a blind belief in multiculturalism and guilt over what Europeans have done to indigenous peoples worldwide. For these reasons, anyone who speaks out against migrants is immediately labeled as Islamophobic, anyone who worries about their own people is called a racist, anyone who worries about the future of their country is considered a “fascist,” while anyone who worries about their own people, country and its people is called a “Nazi.”
This attitude stifles any criticism of immigrants, even though many of them live on benefits and their percentage among prisoners is much higher than their percentage in the general population. The reason for both phenomena is that the basic values of the host countries – hard work and abiding by the law – have not been adopted by most migrants.
The real solution will come when Europeans realize that there is no future for their civilization and its culture without bringing children into the world.
Europe’s public space has changed: with attacks and street riots of the kind that Parisians have been witnessing for weeks, entire areas that the police dare not enter and increasing shares of the economic pie allocated to migrants in the form of unemployment benefits, maternity benefits and other allowances for helping migrants, encouraging even more waves of migration.
This can’t go on forever. One possible scenario is that the political right unites to take decisive action against the migration waves through legislative means and by sending migrants back to their countries of origin. Even if the left disagrees, it has no practical solutions to the problem and the public is not stupid.
The real solution will come when Europeans realize that there is no future for their civilization and its culture without bringing children into the world. They must first change the image of marriage as an institution, because all substitutes for it have not encouraged women to decide to become mothers. At the same time, Europeans should consider granting economic benefits to couples with more than three children. The problem is that there is currently no legal way to distinguish between “European” families and Muslim families who have acquired citizenship when encouraging large families.
Europe is at an impasse that will lead to cultural suicide if the rules of the game are not fundamentally changed. Israel must find new friends in East Asia, South America and of course the US, because in the very near future an Islamist Europe will not be pro-Israel.
Fragment:
One of the bad qualities that characterize politicians is the arrogance of thinking that you can fool people, that you can treat them like blind people or retards, that you can make them take everything at face value, and that you can deny or ignore the most obvious facts. The most visible, concrete and clear facts. But you can’t do that this time, sir. This time you can’t deny the facts, which even children can see. You cannot ignore what is happening every day and at every moment in every city and village in Europe. They have settled in Italy, France, England, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, everywhere. Please read again what I wrote about Marseille, Granada, London and Cologne. Just look at how immigrants behave in Turin, Milan, Bologna, Florence and Rome. My goodness, no one on this planet defends their own identity as well and refuses to integrate as stubbornly as the Muslims. No one at all. Integration is forbidden and punished by Mohammed.
If you are not aware of that, just look at the Quran. Then read the suras yourself, in which integration is prohibited and punished. In the meantime, let me quote a few. This one, for example: “Allah does not allow His believers to befriend unbelievers. Friendship provides affection, spiritual attraction and greater understanding of the morals and way of life of unbelievers, while the ideas of unbelievers are contrary to the Sharia. These ideas are aimed at robbing us of our independence and dominance, with the aim of conquering us. But it is Islam that conquers. It is Islam that does not allow itself to be conquered.” Or this: “Do not show any weakness towards the enemy. Do not ask him to make peace, especially if you are the strongest. Kill infidels wherever you meet them. Attack and fight them, with every conceivable device.”
In other words: according to the Quran, it is we who should integrate. We should adopt their laws, their customs and their damn Sharia.
