Giulio Meotti, an Italian journalist with Il Foglio, wrote an interesting Op-Ed which I share here because it portends what is coming to America. It's only a matter of time. This because, like Belgium, America is committing spiritual and intellectual suicide.
Giulio Meotti: Belgium is Committing Suicide
As the capital of the European Union goes, so goes Europe. And the details are worse than you can imagine.
Belgium has the highest per capita number of Islamic terrorists gone to fight in Syria and Iraq than any other European country. Brussels is the capital of the holy war, as well as of the European Union.

Two days before September 11, two Tunisians recruited in Belgium managed to kill the Afghan commander Massoud, enemy of al Qaeda and the Taliban. And the terror cell of Madrid's 2004 bombings came from the town of Maaseik.

So now churches need to send missionaries to Western Europe instead of Africa and Asia. Or Africa could sent missionaries to Europe except that African Christians are hard pressed by their own Mohammedan problems pushing further and further South.
My wife and I made many trips to Belgium while we lived in Stuttgart, Germany (left 2010). We drove through Antwerp a few times on our way to Brugge (a beautiful place). Believe me there are places the police don’t go. Whole ethnic neighborhood with chickens running in the street, children naked and garbage everywhere. Scary! “Kingdom against kingdom and nation against nation,” political, ethnic, class, and financial upheaval. Used to be it was those “other countries over there” but now it’s coming here as well. Western democracies got a pass for awhile because of their strong Christian influence. Now it’s gone and the wheels are coming off.

I was told a few years ago that Belgium would be the first Western European country to transition to Islam - I guess that is correct.
Well said.
