The Rape of Europe

From the desk of Paul Belienon Wed, 2006-10-25 21:57The German author Henryk M. Broder recentlytold the Dutch newspaper

(12 October) that young Europeans who love freedom, better emigrate.Europe as we know it will no longer exist 20 years from now. Whilst sitting on a terracein Berlin, Broder pointed to the other customers and the passers-by and saidmelancholically: “We are watching the world of yesterday.”Europe is turning Muslim. As Broder is sixty years old he is not going to emigratehimself. “I am too old,” he said. However, he urged young people to get out and “moveto Australia or New Zealand. That is the only option they have if they want to avoid the plagues that will turn the old continent uninhabitable.”Many Germans and Dutch, apparently, did not wait for Broder’s advice. The number of emigrants leavingthe NetherlandsandGermanyhas already surpassed the number of immigrants moving in. One does not have to be prophetic to predict, like Henryk Broder, that Europe is becoming Islamic. Just consider the demographics. The number of Muslims in contemporary Europe is estimated to be 50 million. It is expected todouble in twenty years. By 2025, one third of all European children will be born toMuslim families. Today Mohammed is already the most popular name for new-born boys in Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other major European cities.Broder is convinced that the Europeans are not willing to oppose islamization. “Thedominant ethos,” he told

De Volkskrant

, “is perfectly voiced by the stupid blondewoman author with whom I recently debated. She said that it is sometimes better to letyourself be raped than to risk serious injuries while resisting. She said it is sometimes better to avoid fighting than run the risk of death.”In a recentop-ed piecein the Brussels newspaper

De Standaard

(23 October) the Dutch(gay and self-declared “humanist”) author Oscar Van den Boogaardrefers to Broder’sinterview. Van den Boogaard says that to him coping with the islamization of Europe islike “a process of mourning.” He is overwhelmed by a “feeling of sadness.” “I am not awarrior,” he says, “but who is? I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was onlygood at enjoying it.”As Tom Bethell wrote in this month’s

American Spectator

: “Just at the most basic levelof demography the secular-humanist option is not working.” But there is more to it thanthe fact that non-religious people tend not to have as many children as religious people, because many of them prefer to “enjoy” freedom rather than renounce it for the sake of children. Secularists, it seems to me, are also less keen on fighting. Since they do not believe in an afterlife, this life is the only thing they have to lose. Hence they will rather accept submission than fight. Like the German feminist Broder referred to, they prefer to be raped than to resist.“If faith collapses, civilization goes with it,” says Bethell. That is the real cause of theclosing of civilization in Europe. Islamization is simply the consequence. The veryword Islam means “submission” and the secularists have submitted already. ManyEuropeans have already become Muslims, though they do not realize it or do not wantto admit it.Some of the people I meet in the U.S. are particularly worried about the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe. They are correct when they fear that anti-Semitism is also on therise among non-immigrant Europeans. The latter hate people with a fighting spirit.Contemporary anti-Semitism in Europe (at least when coming from native Europeans)is related to anti-Americanism. People who are not prepared to resist and are eager to
