The Eurabia Code
This essay was originally published in several parts at the website Jihad Watch inOctober 2006, and then republished as one essay at the Gates of Vienna blog.“That such an unnecessary and irrational superstate was ever embarked on will seemin future years to be perhaps the greatest folly of the modern era.”
— MargaretThatcher, former British Prime Minister
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries hisbanner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his slywhispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in thehearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in thenight to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can nolonger resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
— Cicero, Romanstatesman and lawyer I decided to write this essay after a comment from a journalist, not a Leftist by mycountry’s standards, who dismissed Eurabia as merely a conspiracy theory, one on a par with The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I do not disagree with the fact that conspiracytheories exist, nor that they can be dangerous. After all, the Protocols and theDolchstosslegende, or “stab in the back myth” — the idea that Germany didn’t loseWW1 but was betrayed by Socialists, intellectuals and Jews — helped pave the way for Adolf Hitler and the Nazis before WW2.However, what puzzles me is that it is a widely-held belief of many (not just in theIslamic world but in Europe and even in the United States) that the terror attacks that brought down the Twin Towers in New York City on September 11th 2001 were reallya controlled demolition staged by the American government and then blamed onMuslims. I have seen this thesis talked about many times in Western media. While it isfrequently (though not always) dismissed and mocked, it is least mentioned.In contrast, Eurabia — which asserts that the Islamicization of Europe didn’t happenmerely by accident but with the active participation of European political leaders — ishardly ever referred to at all, despite the fact that it is easier to document. Does thenotion of Eurabia hit too close to home? Perhaps it doesn’t fit with the anti-Americandisposition of many journalists? Curiously enough, even those left-leaning journalistswho are otherwise critical of the European Union because of its free market elementsnever write about Eurabia.Because of this, I am going to test whether the Eurabia thesis is correct, or at least plausible. I have called this project The Eurabia Code, alluding to author Dan Brown’smassive bestseller
The Da Vinci Code
. Brown’s fictional account “documents” aconspiracy by the Church to cover up the truth about Jesus. I’m not sure my work will become equally popular, but I’m pretty sure it’s closer to reality. The next time Mr.Brown wants to write about massive conspiracies in Europe, he would be well-advisedto set his eyes at Brussels rather than Rome. It would be a whole lot more interesting.
