“This could be Europe’s death knell,” writes Robert Spencer in his new book, Mass Migration in Europe: A Model for the U.S.? In it he analyzes how mass Muslim migration to Europe has fulfilled the “Eurabia” societal nightmares of the Egyptian-born Jewish scholar Bat Ye’or, a fate that the United States, among other countries, would do well to avoid.
Spencer quotes the late eminent historian of Islam, Bernard Lewis, who already in 2004 predicted to Germany’s Die Welt newspaper that “Europe will be Islamic by the end of the century.” This would complete the transformation that Bat Ye’or foresaw following the 1973 creation of the Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) by the Arab League and the then European Community, now European Union (EU). In various agreements, European leaders encouraged Muslim immigration and Islam-friendly domestic and foreign policies in exchange for access to Arab markets.
Reflecting these agreements, Europe’s Muslim population doubled between 1989 and 1998, and if trends continue, Holland could become Muslim-majority by 2040 or earlier. In turn, European authorities have often accommodated this influx without objection, as when Spain’s Supreme Court in 2020 awarded pensions to two widows of a polygamous Moroccan Muslim migrant. Validating Bat Ye’or’s concerns, the judgment based itself upon a 1979 Morocco-Spain Social Security Agreement.
Such official acts mirror a “wholesale cultural capitulation of many areas of Britain and continental Europe” to Islam that has often “bordered on the risible,” Spencer notes. Some British banks, for example, have banned piggy banks to avoid offending Muslims, who consider pigs religiously unclean. Meanwhile British think tanks have examined how British sharia arbitration councils have subverted legal rights for Muslim women in matters such as domestic violence, divorce, inheritance rights, and polygamy.
Muslim migrants have not always reciprocated with respect for European standards, as Spencer notes in his analysis of Muslim-dominated “European no-go zones.” He specifies that here the “laws of the land often take a back seat to the laws and mores of the immigrant group” and authorities such as the police “can enter, but they are not often treated with respect.” The alienation of these areas became apparent in 2018 when the French government responded to a Paris crime wave by Moroccan migrants by bringing in Moroccan police officers to aid patrols.
Rising sexual assaults across Europe show how “Muslims were taking seriously material from the Qur’an and Sunnah” that brands non-Muslim women as inferior, Spencer documents. New Year’s Eve 2015 remains notorious for Muslim migrants who committed perhaps 2,000 mass rapes and sexual assaults in European cities such as Cologne. Muslim-majority migrants and refugees also commit 92 percent of Sweden’s violent rapes, according to 2017 statistics.
Similarly, “[i]n all too many Islamic teachings and traditions, Jews are the villains,” Spencer observes. Correspondingly, Islamic immigration means that “Jews are threatened in Europe to an extent they have not been since the days of Hitler. And it’s getting worse by the day.”
Despite these Islamic doctrinal dangers, “Islamophobia” accusations and hate speech prosecutions have often faced Islam’s critics, Spencer notes. “While one can say anything one desires about Christianity without facing criminal charges, Islam is regarded as a protected minority religion—and perhaps, covertly, as being too volatile to criticize without risk of violence.” Likewise, “if one didn’t accept the brave new world that was sure to bring more jihad and more Sharia to the continent the charges of being a Nazi and a racist came quickly.” Such intimidations “restrict Western officials and media analysts from discussing the Islamic supremacist threat precisely at the moment when they were directly confronted by it.”
Openly gay Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn, who had Marx and Lenin kitchen portraits, experienced these lessons brutally firsthand in the early 2000s, Spencer observes. Fortuyn “earned one of the establishment media’s favorite terms of opprobrium: ‘far right,’” merely because “he maintained the incompatibility of traditional Islamic values with the liberal, secular societies of the West.” In 2002, the non-Muslim Dutchman Volkert van der Graaf compared Adolf Hitler to Fortuyn and murdered him. His fellow Dutch politician, Geert Wilders, has received so many Muslim death threats that he has a 24-hour guard, frequently changes residence, and never appears publicly alone.
Wilders, Fortuyn, and others are Islam-critical iconoclasts against Europe’s Zeitgeist. Modern Europeans “are the products of a relativistic, materialistic, hedonistic culture that has relentlessly indoctrinated them with the ideas that all belief systems and cultures are of equal value,” Spencer writes. Despite this celebration of diversity, one culture is clearly less equal than others, for “Judeo-Christian Western civilization is itself uniquely ‘racist’ and responsible for the great majority of the evil in the world.”
Western self-abasement leaves Europeans ignorant of Islam’s not-so-tolerant aspects and incapable of integrating Muslim migrants. Europeans “have never been taught, and will not be taught, that their new Muslim overlords are in fact the exponents of a culture that has been far more imperialist and more deeply involved in slavery than the West ever was,” Spencer notes. Meanwhile multiculturalism has entailed abandonment of the “old model of requiring that immigrants assimilate and adopt the customs and mores of their new country.”
In fact, Muslim leaders such as Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have often denounced assimilation for Europe’s Turkish and other Muslim diaspora, as Islam traditionally commands. Islamic doctrine lauds “Hijrah, or emigration for the purpose of Islamization,” Spencer observes, based upon the hijrah of Islam’s prophet Muhammad with his followers in the Arabian Peninsula from Mecca to Medina in 622. “Significantly, the Islamic calendar counts the Hijrah, not Muhammad’s birth or the occasion of his first ‘revelation,’ as the beginning of Islam,” and, by implication, “Islam is not fully itself without a political and military component.”
In this gloomy ideological context, Spencer briefly alludes to one glimmer of hope. American and European Muslims face a “question of individual identity. Is a European or American Muslim primarily a European or an American, or a Muslim?” Although he presents a detailed, dark future for Europe and the wider West, significant evidence reveals that Muslims can reflect upon, liberalize, or even abandon their faith when freedom in places such as Europe allows.
Nonetheless, Americans and others should heed Spencer’s warnings. Europe’s large Muslim minorities foretell significant challenges if the United States’ currently small Muslim community should develop in a similarly uncontrolled manner. Confronted by sharia supremacism, free societies must carefully consider how to defend and strategically utilize their liberty.

Politically it is at present impossible in the US to have an immigration policy that focuses on excluding Muslims. Such a policy is perhaps politically impossible in every liberal democratic nation on earth.
However, the US and other democratic nations might be able to implement a policy that stops or severely limits immigration from any nation that does not protect freedom of religion or freedom of speech. Such a policy would affect not just Islamic nations, but many others, perhaps even including some European nations. Since the policy would not focus on any religion or on any one population, the policy could not be considered to discriminate on the basis of religion. Such a policy would shore up liberal democratic values not just in liberal democratic nations, but also in the rest of the world, which would feel a salutary pressure to start protecting freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

You might have heard that a 23-year-old man killed two people and injured five last night in Quebec City. He was carrying a sword.
The police chief Robert Pigeon said: “There is no reason to believe the attack was motivated by religion or political reasons.”
Mayor Regis Labeaume said: “It’s impossible to understand.”
The standard official reaction:
–Doing somersaults not to mention the “M” connection.
–In denial
–Lying
–Subterfuge.
You will shortly hear the killer “has emotional issues.”
Trudeau wants to import 1.3 million immigrants in the next few years. That’s like the U.S taking in 13 million mostly from the Third World who consider us infidel.
eduardo odraude says
The fear of being slandered as a racist, which could mean losing one’s job and being fined or brought to court, I presume is a fear felt up and down throughout Canadian society and is no doubt a factor causing police and officials to mislabel Islamic terror attacks. The head of the snake — that jejune dimwit of a prime minister — sets the tone. A police officer or other official knows that Trudeau probably will not have their backs if they are slandered as racists. So everybody plays it safe, and kowtows to a policy conceived to protect Muslims from a mob justice backlash that in fact virtually never happens. The cost of the policy is that it is profoundly deceptive and pulls the wool over a lot of people’s eyes, both inside and outside of the government.

70% of Muslims here in the UK are on welfare. Record crime, 600.000 white girls raped by Muslim gangs, destruction of education and the NHS, knife attacks, FGM, polygamy etc Deport them. Not working? You have 6 months to find a job. After that all welfare and access turned off. You will be forced to leave. Shut down the Jihad centres called mosques.
If we don’t do that, top 5 UK cities are majority Muslim by 2040.

I am wondering whether the British have become a suicidal society because they are bored/tired of their icons…Shakespeare, Oxford spires, the Big Ben, the Royal Family, cucumber sandwiches, the BBC, the media, Elgar, the Beatles, and Agatha Christie. They are unmoored except to the grind of high-cost of everything. The scandals, treachery (Kim Philby and Co.), the sleaze of politics, and political correctness, the carving of society (starting with feminism) into demographic factions, and the persistent class system have turned the small island west of Europe into a depressing piece of real estate. The presence of so many people who are visibly of non-British stock and come from the Punjab, Port Antonio, and Peshawar have turned Albion and its Arthurian myths into a joke. The loss of the empire is another cause for the fraying. In the old days, even the incompetent, the destructive, the excess baggage could be lodged in a colonial post to lord over the natives and not bother Old Blighty. Now the social detritus has nowhere to go but to the pub or to the telly…and is probably on the doll.

This is the fifth or sixth Muslim attempt to conquer Europe. The first was the Battle of Tours (732) when Charles Martel and his Franks defeated the Arab armies in central France. The Arabs were headed to Paris with the ultimate goal of conquering Europe. The second attempt was the Turkish conquest of Constantinople (1453) which Turks saw as the beginning of the conquest of Europe. The third was the sea Battle of Lepanto when the Turks tried to take the western Mediterranean as a prelude to attacking southern Europe. The Turks were defeated. They twice tried to conquer Vienna–according to them the gate to Europe. Having failed militarily, they started the demographics war a few decades ago. The short-sighted-suicidal Europeans let them in…and they paid generously for every child, not that Muslims need incentives to have five, six children. After all, it’s God who sends the babies… and the Europeans pay for the upkeep of the children until they grow up and are described as emotionally disturbed for killing Christians.

john mosbrook says
Muslim supremacy in Europe could happen. But I believe before that happens, the white European and assimilated Muslims will enact a bloody nationalist revolution that will kill without mercy those Muslims who are radical or sympathetic to radical Muslim views. Also targeted for slaughter will be the globalist white European government people responsible for importing Muslims into Europe. It’s too late for civil methods of expelling Muslims from Europe.
b.a. freeman says
U’re probably right that the time for civil expulsion is past, john. i believe that this is *exactly* what the hard-core left wants. they *always* want to “burn it all down,” and how better to do that than to employ a proxy army of pious muslims who are self-motivated to attack society? all the left has to do is to provide political cover for the ummah; they don’t even have to make any efforts to import only pious muslims, because across the ummah all over the world, roughly 10% are pious. import 1 million muslims, get 100 000 pious soldiers attacking society. and best of all, because there are no communications or exchanges of weapons between the left and the ummah, and because most people think islam is just one more stupid religion that is safe, nobody even knows to check for a connection. the left will never be blamed; all they have to do is shame/cancel people who dare to think it might be a good idea to check people out before granting them entry, so that unvetted thousands may continue to get in.
Prabhakar Shetty says
Absolutely true. They kill wantonly in Kashmir. In the rest of India, there are daily killings and rapes of Hindus.
The moment any action is taken, nearly 300 million scream Islamophobia. It is time call out the terrorists and deal with it ruthlessly. Political Correctness is a delusional FACTOPHOBIA of the kind seen in UK, Germany and Europe.
Jayell says
‘But I believe before (muslim supremacy) happens, the white European and assimilated Muslims will enact a bloody nationalist revolution that will kill without mercy those Muslims who are radical or sympathetic to radical Muslim views….’
The trouble is that they are clearly already killing us, so they’re not leaving us much of an alternative. However, I don’t believe that there can be such a thing as an ‘assimilated musilm’; that’s a bit like talking about a ‘benevolent aggressive tumour’.
J Morgan says
Any assimilated Muslim would likely be an Ex-Muslm and they would be fighting for their lives.
eduardo odraude says
A lot of so-called Muslims don’t know much about their own religion, and when they do find out, abandon Islam, either secretly or publicly, depending on where they live. Even some pious Muslims don’t know that much about Islam. They often have never read the Qur’an in their own language, and do not understand Arabic. They have never studied the hadith or the earliest biography of Muhammad. They hear a rather whitewashed version of Islam from imams. And when someone points out some of the ugly content of Islamic teachings and of what is under the whitewash painted over Islam’s most trusted sources, many Muslims abandon Islam.

No, it is *not* too late to stop Muslims from flooding into Europe. And deportations should start with the worst Jihadists.
Then, the claim that patriotic Europeans are slaughtering people is quite false.
Aussie Infidel says
Bat Ye’Or got it right. The Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) by the Arab League and the then European Community was one of the worst mistakes Europe has ever made. The blame for this debacle can be traced back to the anti-American attitude of French President Charles DeGaulle, who wanted a United Europe to compete against the United States. DeGaulle was annoyed that he was omitted from the Yalta conference between Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin during WW II.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yalta_Conference
But since many young French men were killed during the war, DeGaulle was left with the quandary of how he would get the workers to staff his proposed industries; so he encouraged Muslims to immigrate to France. And of course the Muslims – realizing that DeGaulle knew little about Islam – encouraged this move in accord with their doctrine of Hijra or migration in the cause of Allah. The Muslims, after their defeat in WW II, saw this as manna from heaven.
Under successive leftist politicians and bureaucrats in Europe (including Britain), this influx of Muslims into Europe has continued unabated for over 50 years – and in recent years even increased. It would seem that the present leaders of the EU haven’t learned from their past mistakes, and are heading for another war. Only this time they will be fighting the enemy within.
don vito says
One of the shocking aspects for me as I read the book was seeing in it on paper why assimilation of WESTERN values did not occur, en mass by the new immigrants. And, why so many, including politicians, later asked why no assimilation? Indeed Bat Ye’or laid out the reasons, all the frigin treaties the EU and its member nations signed onto with the islamikkk world. EU should renounce all the treaties agreed to with the islamikkk “community”, because the treaties were agreed to under duress. This may form the legal basis for the beginning of not only stopping islamization, but of de-islamization.

Oh, there coming to America…in droves. Canadian pm and his Muslim ministers were knee deep in talks with Somalian official just before the plandemic hit. Not sure of the numbers but Trudeau just released numbers of migrants Canada will take and it’s somewhere around a million in 2 years. Id be willing to bet the house on where most will be coming from. Ahh yes, all those young military aged young Muslim men and there grandparents. They can draw off our social programs while infiltrating the states. Trudeau loves them. He said yesterday about the beheadings in France. There’s a limit to free speech, we must be tolerant.. you don’t scream fire…yup. Goes from bad to worse then worse again

Well, one speech that crosses the line is preaching Islam in Mosques. We cannot allow incitement and Supremacy and Islam is a Warlord Culture through and through.

Once I was taught business planning and the professor, a CEO from the Dutch blast furnace company, of which you do not have many since they need enormous economies of scale, said: “Suppose you have to plan a new ship quay, and have to know when you need it and have to now its length, apart from how to plan your finance, personnel and machinery capacities.
Your staff collects data and runs its mathematical models, resulting in when the quay should be there, and how long the quay should be. Sounds all right, but as a CEO I strongly advice you also to have a chat with the foremen at the quays, and ask them what they think of the new quay and what its length should be.”
Before Obama got elected I met an American in an Asian country, a foreman type, and we had a drink. He noticed: “You guys over their in Europe seem to have some trouble with your immigrants, right? We have loads of immigrants from the south of the America’s, they speak Spanish, but basically they are the same as us, and we do not have these troubles like you have. I suppose with these guys around us in this Asian country we would not have problems either.”
I was impressed with his knowledge, without this American giving large academic lecturer to explain the “subtle” differences that lay at the basis of “the problems” we had in Europe.
Maybe the European academics have a colonial idea of running things, with their laws, as the Romans did. But do not forget the Romans not only ruled by Roman laws, but that every Roman man and citizen had an 8 year obligation to serve the Roman military around the Empire to enforce those laws. They did not enforce the Roman laws only from their academic safe spaces.

Robert Spencer, you are doing a great service to humanity by revealing the truth of Slamoterror.
Hope all Americans note that BLM and Antifa don’t condemn terrorists. The style and scale of the riots clearly indicate the involvement of terrorists and CAIR.
As sufferers of such media boosted extreme activism in India, we spot this instantly. In India, all leftists have a religion and it is not Hindus.
I feel sorry for the African Americans, who cannot oppose nor support BLM. It is taken over by terrorists. Please alert all Americans to unite against terrorism.

“Mass Migration in Europe” by Robert Spencer should be translated into German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and Icelandic to really hit home the threat of Muslim migrants.

I would buy several copies of this book if it were printed in German to give to my relatives in Germany and Austria who have already become leery of Muslim migrants.

Macron backs down already, according to Euronews:
“”I understand and respect that we can be shocked by these caricatures. I will never accept that we can justify physical violence for these caricatures and I will always defend in my country the freedom to say, to write, to think, to draw,” Macron said. He (Macron) emphasised that the French press is free to publish what it wants and that what is released is therefore not the official position of the government.”

So it is those infidels and those infidel laws and not Macron, since Macron said “we can be shocked”, meaning he was actually shocked too because of those infidel cartoons?
Macron only wants no physical violence?
Righteous divine sharia law punishment, some divine head chopping, cannot be called dirty infidel Islamophobic violence, right?
Then we have to help Macron and keep up the good work my fellow divine head choppers….

Despite or because of the presence of the Vatican Europe s a godless continent. The churches are empty and the clergy the butt of jokes. The ridiculous attachment of the Muslim immigrants to their silly and violent religion is the best proof that they don’t belong and will not belong. The ignorant Muslims are waging religion war against people who have no religion. This makes the violent utterances of psychos such as Erdogan (“Europe has declared Crusades against us”) doubly ridiculous.
Giacomo Latta says
”He (Macron) emphasised that the French press is free to publish what it wants and that what is released is therefore not the official position of the government.”
When you need to describe to an upset part of the population how democracy works then you know things are pretty bad with immigration procedures. When you need to do that to take the heat off your pathetic little hide then you know what a gutless loser you are.
Kathy Garthoff says
A little more history–the Moors actually began their successful invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in 711, where they kept conquering until Charles Martel stopped their progress north in 732. Even though the Reconquest of Spain and Portugal traditionally began in 718 at the Battle of Covadonga, Asturias, there was so much political and military back-and-forth that it took hundreds of years, until 1492, in fact, to completely eject the Muslim control from their last stronghold in Granada. Such hard-won victory should be kept in mind in light of current trends.
Also, for history buffs out there, Cervantes, the famed author of “Don Quixote”, fought in the naval Battle of Lepanto, where he lost a hand, and was known as “el Manco de Lepanto”. Thank goodness for literature everywhere that he could still write with the other one!

The influx of Muslims into Europe is the penalty Europe is paying for getting rid of its Jews.

Lorensacho, What you say has no link to history/ logic. What’s the connection between “getting rid of” the Jews and the influx of Muslims into Europe? Who (God?) decided to punish Europeans for getting rid of the Jews? Sweden, Belgium, Holland, France, Britain, etc. didn’t expel Jews but are now crammed with welfare-munching followers of Moe (dbuh–damnation be upon him)
