The Mullahs' Europe
By Robert Spencer

How quickly is Europe being Islamized? So quickly that even historian Bernard Lewis, who has continued throughout his honor-laden career to be strangely disingenuous about certain realities of Islamic radicalism and terrorism, told the German newspaper Die Welt forthrightly that “Europe will be Islamic by the end of the century.”
Or maybe sooner. Consider some indicators from Scandinavia this past week:
• Sweden’s third-largest city, Malmø, according to the Swedish Aftonbladet, has become an outpost of the Middle East in Scandinavia: “The police now publicly admit what many Scandinavians have known for a long time: They no longer control the situation in the nations’s third largest city. It is effectively ruled by violent gangs of Muslim immigrants. Some of the Muslims have lived in the area of Rosengård, Malmø, for twenty years, and still don’t know how to read or write Swedish. Ambulance personnel are attacked by stones or weapons, and refuse to help anybody in the area without police escort. The immigrants also spit at them when they come to help. Recently, an Albanian youth was stabbed by an Arab, and was left bleeding to death on the ground while the ambulance waited for the police to arrive. The police themselves hesitate to enter parts of their own city unless they have several patrols, and need to have guards to watch their cars, otherwise they will be vandalized.”
• The Nordgårdsskolen in Aarhus, Denmark, has become the first Dane-free Danish school. The students now come entirely from Denmark’s fastest-growing constituency: Muslim immigrants.
• Also in Denmark, the Qur’an is now required reading for all upper-secondary school students. There is nothing wrong with that in itself, but it is unlikely, given the current ascendancy of political correctness on the Continent, that critical perspectives will be included.
• Pakistani Muslim leader Qazi Hussain Ahmed gave an address at the Islamic Cultural Center in Oslo. He was readily allowed into the country despite that fact that, according to Norway’s Aftenposten, he “has earlier make flattering comments about Osama bin Laden, and his party, Jamaat-e-Islami, also has hailed al-Qaeda members as heroes.” In Norway, he declined to answer questions about whether or not he thought homosexuals should be killed.
Elsewhere in Europe the jihad is taking a more violent form. Dutch officials have uncovered at least fifteen separate terrorist plots, all aimed at punishing the Netherlands for its 1,300 peacekeeping troops in Iraq. And in Spain, Moroccan Muslims, including several suspected participants in the March 11 bombings in Madrid, have taken control of a wing of a Spanish prison. From there they broadcast Muslim prayers at high volume, physically intimidated non-Muslim prisoners, hung portraits of Osama bin Laden, and boasted, “We are going to win the holy war.” The guards’ response? They asked the ringleaders please to lower the volume on the prayers.
What are European governments doing about all this? France is pressing forward with an appeasement campaign to free two French journalists held hostage by jihadists in Iraq. The Swedish state agency for foreign aid is sponsoring a “Palestinian Solidarity Conference,” which aims, among other things, to pressure the European Union to remove the terrorist group Hamas from the EU’s list of terrorist groups – despite Hamas’s long history of encouraging and glorifying the murder of civilians by suicide bombers.
What Europe has long sown it is now reaping. Bat Ye’or, the pioneering historian of dhimmitude, the institutionalized oppression of non-Muslims in Muslim societies, chronicles in her forthcoming book Eurabia how it has come to this. Europe, she explains, began thirty years ago to travel down a path of appeasement, accommodation, and cultural abdication before Islam in pursuit of short-sighted political and economic benefits. She observes that today “Europe has evolved from a Judeo-Christian civilization, with important post-Enlightenment/secular elements, to a ‘civilization of dhimmitude,’ i.e., Eurabia: a secular-Muslim transitional society with its traditional Judeo-Christian mores rapidly disappearing.”
After the Beslan child massacres, however, there are signs from Eastern Europe that this may be changing. Last Sunday Poland turned away one hundred Chechen Muslims who were trying to enter the country from Belarus. This is the sort of measure that the countries west of Poland have been so far unwilling to take. But since one cannot by any means screen out the jihadists from the moderate Muslims, and the moderates are not helping identify the jihadists either, what choice did the Poles have?
It might not be too long before they will have to turn away entrants from Scandinavia and France as well.
Depressing stuff given the evil nature of Islam.
I hold to the hope that Eastern Europe/Russia will resist...after all they experienced the horrors of islam first hand.
As for Italy and Spain, the Roman church will play a role in whether they capitulate or not. They have proven weak and unfaithful to their brothers and sisters in Christ before...question is will they prove as unfaithful again?
On a side note, I'm worried about the Christian art in these places. Will the Islamic radicals destroy Notre Dam, the Pi-eta, as the Taliban destroyed the Buddhist sculptures? What about Britain? Will they again be alone to fight this?
Poland: First to fight!
And win !
And Europe opened the doors themselves by militarily supporting islamists in Bosnia and Kosovo and bombing Serbs who were the first line of defense.
Read BAT YE'OR EURABIA The road to Munich for a logical explanation of this madness
Is that Slobieski?
Extremely frightening. I did find an encouraging writing in the local paper last weekend. Law Forces Danes to travel Love Bridge. Can't post the link anymore, but it was about Denmark cracking down on immigration, and mentions muslims.
The Siege of Vienna link:

The Battle of Vienna link:
http://www.metaweb.com/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Vienna%2C_Austria
Please note the date of the battle: 12 September 1683.
That means on 11 September 1683, the Turkish Muslims were still in charge!
Coincidence? I don't think so.
Looks like Beslan had an effect on Poland. Soon, chechens will not be welcome anywhere in the world.
The sacking of Constantinople has opened the doors for Ottoman expansion into Europe. One has only to read open support Vatican offers to the Islamist expansion into Europe in the 1990s to find out that RC church has not learned anything from the past - Vatican dreams of destruction of Orthodox Christianity, even if such destruction will bring down Europe.
Actually the Brits have given asylum to a chechen terrorist and refuse to hand him over to Russia.
This may sound crazy but it's just food for thought. I'm a Christian but I don't usually spend too much time charting every world event as a precursor to the Apocalypse. I don't read Tim Lehay and I don't check the clouds for Jesus every ten minutes. Nevertheless, it's a bit interesting to note that many of the Apocalyptic texts in the Bible (both Old and New Testaments) list armies from Europe (along with several Middle Eastern nations) attacking the New Israel in the last days. This is especially clear in some of the stranger parts of Daniel. I know that the Europeans aren't exactly warm to the state of Israel but I couldn't see them launching an assault. They're just too "girlie" for that. But in a few decades, when the Prime Minister of France is named Mohammed or Salah, I wouldn't be bit surprised if they decided to "take care" of the Middle Easts only stable democracy. Again, I know it sounds crazy, but the whole of Europe seems to be marching in that direction.
In general, however the Italians outside of the vatican get along fine with the Orthodox Russkies and visit Alexy from time to time. They have told Alexy they think the pope is out of line.
So there may be hope from Italy.
You have every reason to be. Here is what Islamists have done in Kosovo, the place where La Renaissance was born:
The famous fresco of Christ - the Patron of Prizren The Church of the Holy Virgin of Ljevis before destruction by Albanians in March this year.
In the last 5 years Albanians have destroyed and damaged more than 150 ancient Christian churches and monasteries in the presence of UN and NATO troops.

What are the passages and what do they say?
It is a portrait of Jan 111 Sobieski, king of Poland, who led the forces who defeated the Muslims at Vienna. Charles Martel led the forces who turned back the Muslim forces at Poitiers. Ferdinand and Isabella finally drove out the Muslims from Spain after a 700 year struggle. Don John of Austria and Andrea Doria turned back Muslims at the naval battle of Lepanto. Please finish this sentence: George Bush................
