The Rape of Europe
By Paul Belien, Brussels Journal

The German author Henryk M. Broder recently told the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, 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 terrace in Berlin, Broder pointed to the other customers and the passers-by and said melancholically: “We are watching the world of yesterday.”

Europe is turning Muslim. As Broder is sixty years old he is not going to emigrate himself. “I am too old,” he said. However, he urged young people to get out and “move to 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.”

Already the numbers leaving the Netherlands and Germany exceeds the numbers migrating there. The birthrate of Europeans is lower than that of the muslim immigrants. Already the most popular name for a new born boy in Europe is Mohammad.

Broder is convinced that the Europeans are not willing to oppose islamization. “The dominant ethos,” he told De Volkskrant, “is perfectly voiced by the stupid blonde woman author with whom I recently debated. She said that it is sometimes better to let yourself 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 recent op-ed piece in the Brussels newspaper De Standaard, the Dutch (gay and self-declared “humanist”) author Oscar Van den Boogaard refers to Broder’s interview. Van den Boogaard says that to him coping with the islamization of Europe is like “a process of mourning.” He is overwhelmed by a “feeling of sadness.” “I am not a warrior,” he says, “but who is? I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it.”

He says he is not a warrior. He says he has never learned to fight for his freedom. He was only good at enjoying it.

That one statement makes me incredibly sad.

The World War II generation of both Europe and America were certainly willing to fight and die for freedom. Whichever side they were on, they were willing to fight for their beliefs and for the honor of their country. In just a generation that warrior spirit fell into decline. The spirit of honor and integrity and fighting for what is ‘right’, however any particular group defines ‘right’, has faded into a story that is told about our fathers time.

In the span of one generation self became more important than country. Faith was replaced with secularism. The greater good lost any meaning. In one generation our culture declined into nothing more than about the great ‘me’.

“If faith collapses, civilization goes with it,” says Bethell. That is the real cause of the closing of civilization in Europe. Islamization is simply the consequence. The very word Islam means “submission” and the secularists have submitted already. Many Europeans have already become Muslims, though they do not realize it or do not want to 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 the rise 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 submit, hate others who do not want to submit and are prepared to fight. They hate them because they are afraid that the latter will endanger their lives as well. In their view everyone must submit.

This is why they have come to hate Israel and America so much, and the small band of European “islamophobes” who dare to talk about what they see happening around them. West Europeans have to choose between submission (islam) or death. I fear, like Broder, that they have chosen submission — just like in former days when they preferred to be red rather than dead.

burkasI have often wondered why there is such a venomous hatred from the left towards our Soldiers and those of us who would rather die than submit to islam. Broder makes perfect sense here. Of course. They are afraid.

Better to submit than to die.

If only they understood their only hope is to resist. If they submit they will certainly die.
