That means “the only way we can live together peaceably with Islam is if we don’t compromise our own values.

Agreed. Caving in to them and losing our freedoms incrementally is not the way to go, we need to learn to say "no".

There's some hope for Old Europe. Now for the hard work, of being steadfast in defending their way of life.

As an aside, I wonder if church attendance is increasing a bit in Europe.

This is good news. Let us hope that the trend continues.

‘That means “the only way we can live together peaceably with Islam is if we don’t compromise our own values.”

Personally, I would say that the only way to live peaceably with Islam is to aggressively purge from our societies muslims with any radical behavior at all. Especially those “moderates”. And to actively engage them in combat tenfold to their acts of violence.

the only hope for europe is the conversion of the muslims - they are pretty much there to stay.

The only real hope for Europe will be found in the proclaiming of the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“The West,” he continued, “provokes Islam not by doing anything, although what it does is hardly helpful; it provokes at least some strands of Islamic thought simply by being.” That means “the only way we can live together peaceably with Islam is if we don’t compromise our own values.”
