From the very beginning, Islam has been at war with the rest of Humanity (or just “Humanity,” since Muslims seem to have opted out of the Human Race) and sought to destroy Judeo-Christian Western Civilization. But the West fought back. The Muslims conquered Spain and Portugal, but when they advanced north of the Pyrenees they were met by an army of Franks (including Gauls, and the people of mixed Gaulish and Germanic ancestry who would become the French) under the Carolingian King Charles Martel, who defeated the invaders at the Battle of Tours in 732. In 1096 the Europeans began the First Crusade, the beginning of a series of wars that, for a time, drove the Muslims out of what is now Israel. But the Muslims eventually retook their conquests in the Middle East, and advanced into Eastern Europe. Then the Spanish drove them out of the Iberian Peninsula in 1492, and their advance into Europe was stopped at the Battle of Vienna in 1683.

But now Westerners have in large part abandoned their Jewish and Christian religions and, apparently, much of their morality, and have lost faith in themselves and their culture to the point of slowly breeding themselves out of existence (birth rates in much of Europe are lower than death rates). Rather than return to their religious and moral roots, rather than encourage larger families, most European nations have invited in large numbers of immigrants, including many Muslims. Many of these immigrants are semiliterate and lack both job skills and a work ethic, and commit most of the crime in their host countries. Despising Christians, Jews, and Europeans, they refuse to assimilate, but crowd into enclaves resembling their home countries (if their original homes were so wonderful, why did they leave?), supported by crime and welfare, preying upon their hosts. In France there have been riots and numerous brutal murders, some involving sadistic torture. Despising all women in general and non-Muslim women in particular, the Muslims and Africans have made Sweden the rape capital of the West. “Liberal” judges and others of the political class seem to adore the invaders and despise their own people, and seize upon every conceivable excuse to set Muslim rapists and other criminals free. In “enlightened” socialist Sweden in 2014 the government made it illegal to criticize government immigration policies or to “insult” the precious Muslims. Of course, Muslims find everyone and everything insulting. Also in Sweden, there is a housing shortage, so Muslim immigrants are now being placed in an expensive ski resort. A Swedish lesbian bishop has called for the removal of all Christian symbols from Christian churches, lest the invaders feel “threatened.” Who pays her salary? And why?

Germany, allied with Muslim Turkey in WWI, has always hosted large numbers of Muslims, especially Turks. Today there are some three million people of Turkish ancestry in Germany; 1,550,000 retain Turkish citizenship. By 2012 there were a total of 4,500,000 Muslims in Germany. But in 2015 the flood gates have been opened wide, and hundreds of thousands of “refugees,” most of them young men, are pouring into Europe, a tide no one has the moral courage to stem, most of them headed for Germany. Some 10,000 of them enter Germany every day, many of them infected with AIDS, syphilis, TB, and various exotic tropical diseases. The Germans put them up in expensive hotels and, incredibly (how can we be shocked by anything anymore?) have kicked their own German citizens out of their own apartments to make room for the criminal and terrorist invaders. If their treatment in German medical facilities fails in any way to please them, they violently assault the doctors and nurses. And we have all seen the videos of the Muslims rioting, throwing away the food and other supplies given to them by the Europeans, and leaving large areas covered by trash and human waste. And over a million may eventually enter Europe (most in Germany) to join those already there. In Saxony, authorities have completely lost track of some 700 Muslims; they could be anywhere, plotting anything.

They have been welcomed in by Chancellor Angela Merkel and her Christian Democrat Union party, despite warnings by German security officials that the invaders pose a threat to Germany (duh). Also welcoming the rapists, parasites, and terrorists are thousands of German useful idiots, starry eyed lunatics who adore every country and culture but their own. Yet resistance is building; Merkel’s party’s approval rating is down to thirty six percent, and some 400 Germans so far have written their government, demanding that Merkel be tried for treason. Many opponents of the betrayal belong to PEGIDA, the acronym for the German words for Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the Occident. In France, anti-Muslim sentiment is growing, and Marine le Pen’s anti-immigration National Front is one of the largest political parties in the country. Opposition to the invasion is strongest in Eastern Europe, especially in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. Czech President Milos Zeman has said that the Muslims deserve no sympathy or support whatever.

There have been acts of violence and supposed plots by Germans against the invaders; a German man stabbed a leftist politician recently (of course, she simply worshipped the Muslims). Immigrant reception centers have been torched, and German police claim to have uncovered a plot by a “far right” group to attack reception centers in Bavaria; supposedly the German plotters had somehow amassed guns, knives, and explosives, no easy task in Europe, where gun ownership is restricted. There have even been a few arson attacks in Sweden and the Netherlands. In Germany, police had to prevent an attack by 10,000 pro-Muslim leftists on about 1,000 anti-immigration demonstrators. In Austria, citizens — mainly women — are buying such guns as they are allowed.

It is obvious that in Europe, as here in America, the governments could care less what their citizens think. They have effectively declared war on their own countries, on their own people, on Western Civilization, using Muslims as their shock troops. This is not the place to speculate about their ultimate motives, but they are, quite literally, suicidally insane. What they are doing meets every conceivable definition of utter madness. If the invasion is to be stopped and turned back, if the West is to be saved, it will require massive violence by citizens defying the elites. Will Europeans in general and Germans in particular have the physical (and, more importantly, the moral) courage to do that? Will the police and military ultimately side (as usual) with the ruling class, or with the people? Europe hangs in the balance. At considerable cost the people may kill or drive out the Muslims and even break up the European Union and restore sovereignty to the individual nations. Or they may suffer the fate of all cowards.

And will Americans take heart from European resistance or be cowed by their defeat, or will we be driven to fight back when we see them destroyed? For what is happening there will soon happen here.
