Muslim Europe
By Daniel Pipes FrontPageMagazine.com - May 11, 2004
"Europe becomes more and more a province of Islam, a colony of Islam."
So declares Oriana Fallaci in her new book, La Forza della Ragione
(The Force of Reason). And the famed Italian journalist is right:
Christianity’s ancient stronghold of Europe is rapidly giving way to
Islam.
Two factors mainly contribute to this world-shaking development.
· The hollowing out of Christianity. Europe is increasingly a
post-Christian society, one with a diminishing connection to its
tradition or its historic values. The numbers of believing, observant
Christians has collapsed in the past two generations to the point that
some observers call it the “new dark continent.” Already, analysts
estimate Britain’s mosques host more worshippers each week than does
the Church of England.
· An anemic birth rate. Indigenous Europeans are dying out. Sustaining
a population requires each woman on average to bear 2.1 children; in
the European Union, the overall rate is a one-third short, at 1.5 per
woman, and falling. One study finds that, should current population
trends continue and immigration cease, today’s population of 375
million could decline to 275 million by 2075. To keep its working
population even, the EU needs 1.6 million immigrants a year; to
sustain the present workers-to-retirees ratio requires an astonishing
13.5 million immigrants annually.
Into the void are coming Islam and Muslims. As Christianity falters,
Islam is robust, assertive, and ambitious. As Europeans
under-reproduce at advanced ages, Muslims do so in large numbers while
young.
Some 5 percent of the EU, or nearly 20 million persons, presently
identify themselves as Muslims; should current trends continue, that
number will reach 10 percent by 2020. If non-Muslims flee the new
Islamic order, as seems likely, the continent could be majority-Muslim
within decades.
When that happens, grand cathedrals will appear as vestiges of a prior
civilization (the jahiliya?) - at least until a Saudi-style regime
transforms them into mosques or a Taliban-like regime blows them up.
The great national cultures - Italian, French, English, and others -
will likely wither, replaced by a new transnational Muslim identity
that merges North African, Turkish, subcontinental, and other
elements.
This prediction is hardly new. In 1968, the British politician Enoch
Powell gave his famed "rivers of blood" speech in which he warned that
in allowing excessive immigration, the United Kingdom was "heaping up
its own funeral pyre." (Those words stalled a hitherto promising
career.) In 1973, the French writer Jean Raspail published Camp of the
Saints, a novel that portrays Europe falling to massive, uncontrolled
immigration from the Indian subcontinent. The peaceable transformation
of a region from one major civilization to another, now underway, has
no precedent in human history, making it easy to ignore such voices.
There is still a chance for the transformation not to play itself out,
but the prospects diminish with time. Here are several possible ways
it might be stopped:
· Changes in Europe that lead to a resurgence of Christian faith, an
increase in childbearing, or the cultural assimilation of immigrants;
such developments can theoretically occur but what would cause them
are hard to imagine.
· Muslim modernization: For reasons no one has quite figured out
(education of women? abortion on demand? adults too self-absorbed to
have children?), modernity leads to a drastic reduction in the
birthrate. Also, were the Muslim world to modernize, the attraction of
moving to Europe would diminish.
· Immigration from other sources. Latin Americans, being Christian,
would more or less permit Europe to keep its historic identity. Hindus
and Chinese would increase the diversity of cultures, making it less
likely that Islam would dominate.
Current trends suggest Islamization will happen, for Europeans seem to
find it too strenuous to have children, stop illegal immigration, or
even diversify their sources of immigrants. Instead, they prefer to
settle unhappily into civilizational senility.
Europe has simultaneously reached unprecedented heights of prosperity
and peacefulness - and shown a unique inability to sustain itself (one
demographer, Wolfgang Lutz, notes that "Negative momentum has not been
experienced on a large scale in world history").
Is it inevitable that the most brilliantly successful society also be
the first in danger of collapse due to a lack of cultural confidence
and offspring? Ironically, creating a hugely desirable place to live
would seem also to be a recipe for suicide. The human comedy
continues.

Stop Islamic immigration now! Wake up to what these Islamic immigrants
really want from your country.
