Europeans, and that now includes the British, need to reassess their attitudes to their own culture(s). European culture is clearly being threatened by Islam; but we Europeans are in denial.
The French are not famous for their courage: When Hitler and his army invaded France, the French simply capitulated. The Germans were just able to march in and take control of their country. The French didn’t even put up a fight!
Now, Muslim immigrants have invaded France; but again, the French are in denial. They just don’t seem to be able to grasp the nettle, don't seem to be able to take tough action to protect their wonderful culture. Do they, I wonder, inhabit a dream world, or are the French just lacking in courage to assert themselves?
The Germans are crippled by memories of their brutal past. That’s what makes them incapable of tough action. They are terrified of being perceived as ‘racist’ again.
The British are just too tolerant. The British put up with anything and everything these days. The characteristics which made the British strong and triumphant in the 40’s now seem to have evaporated. Young people seem incapable of knowing what makes them British! Nor are they any longer able to look danger in the face and call it what it is: danger!
It seems that the Europeans not only fail to see the dangers that lie ahead of them vis-à-vis Islam, but they are unwilling to identify the danger even if they do. A civilization will not last long that way, not last long when the people are unwilling to identify the enemy, and are unwilling to fight for its survival.
Spending on the military is way too low in Britain. It is shamefully low in Europe. One of the first things that needs to be done is increase spending on the military thoughout Europe: on the armies, the navies, and the air forces. No civilization can be strong when spending on the military is so woefully inadequate. If the military needs manpower, equipment, and training, then it’s only a matter of time before that civilization will be challenged.
We are now being challenged by Islam like never before in recent history. It’s no good the Europeans depending on the Americans to come to their rescue. God knows, central Europeans have criticized the Americans enough in recent years. Frankly, I wouldn’t blame the Americans if they refused assistance!
In this era of grave danger, in an era in which Islam is growing in importance all over the world, especially here in Europe, and in an era in which the Iranians are threatening to develop the nuclear bomb, it is most essential that the Europeans be ready for any crisis that may develop. The Europeans need to put forward a strong face to the Islamic world. Muslims need to be shown that nonsense will not be tolerated. Europeans need to be ready for the good fight, ready to fight for our Judeo-Christian heritage and civilization!
Historically, Islam has played little part in European culture. I repeat: Our culture is based on Judeo-Christianity. It is not based on Islam! Our culture must be fought for, fought for in each and every way necessary. Islam would soon snuff it out, given half a chance.
This is why the Europeans should in no way allow the Eurocrats to let Turkey into the Union. Turkey does not belong in Europe for all the reasons I have mentioned many times before.
It is high time for our European ‘leaders’ to listen to the people. It is also high time for the Europeans themselves to start being more courageous, and willing to put up a fight for our civilization, regardless of the cost. War cannot be avoided at all costs anyway. A war in the name of fighting for our civilization, should it come, would be a just war. Naturally, nobody wants war. Only a fool would wish for it. But the fact of the matter is this: War is far more likely to come about if we are not ready for it, if we are weak. Without a strong military, and the will to use that military should it be necessary to do so, the Europeans will be perceived as weak. Indeed, they already are.
Weak people don’t avoid being attacked; on the contrary, they are more likely to be attacked, and for the very reason that they are weak! This can be seen even in the schoolyard: How many strong children get picked on?
It’s high time that Europeans started to stand up and be counted. Our culture and civilization is in grave danger of being Islamized.

It'sa noble goal, a one world government to insure peace in a world of wars and deaths, but all it is doing is weakening the west at the time it needs its strength.
Yes, Mussolini, indeed it is a noble goal, but an unrealistic one when we have another culture, another civilization, waiting in the wings to smother all that we stand for.
The West has become unbelievably weak; and at a time when it needs to be strong.
Good essay, Mark. I don't think the West will wake up until they get hit really, really hard.
Pastorius:
I agree with you. It's going to take something BIG to wake people up.
Europe has lived off of NATO (mostly supported by US dollars) far too long. Mussolini...I disagree that nationalism is an outdated concept, especially in non-Islamic lands. Islamic countries usually religion to rally their populations, but in the West, China, Japan and other nonsecular nations, nationalism is alive and well.
I also don't think a one world government is a noble idea. This idea is basically espoused by Communist and Islamist.
I blogrolled you guys...I like your perspective on these issues even though I'm not always in agreement.
American Crusader:
I don't think that Mussolini likes the idea of a one-world government. No more than I do. I think he was just stating that in an ideal world - if people were different than they really are - then it would be a noble concept.
But that's not what life is all about. You know that, and I know that, too.
Thanks, American Crusader. Have I blogrolled you yet? I must take a look.
Mark,
What I have been reading in recent days about Norway and Sweden makes me hang my head in shame, my grandparents would be appalled.

Did you notice any surge of patriotism among the young in the UK as we did in the US following 9/11?
In many cases, these young people put their parents to shame.
Many (youths) in the US enlisted (and re-enlisted) for the military in the days and weeks following 9/11.
How sad an indictment for their parent's generation that they have a greater grasp on the danger that is facing our world?
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

I'm sure! Dhimmitude is spreading apace everywhere in Scandinavia and Europe. They are losing their souls! It's all very, very sad.

No, I didn't really. Did you then? (In the UK, I mean.) Perhaps I missed something. But I don't think so.
All I remember post 9/11 is 'touchy-feely' nonsense about how we are all one world now. The 'great and the good' made every effort to lull the population into believing that 9/11 was an atrocity for all the moderate Muslims, too - you know, the ones who make up the vast majority! Interfaith services were the order of the day.

I presume that you are referring to the parents born in the 60's and 70's.

Welcome!

Such profound words!
By the way, that's a great website you have there. Thanks for drawing it to my attention. How about exchanging links?
Mussolini:
I believe I understood exactly where you were coming from on this issue.
JudahQ:
We were watching an old video recording of "The Last Night at the Proms" last night and one of the most favourite pieces of music that always comes up is "Rule Britannia!" Everyone was singing it with great gusto,...
They always do sing Rule Britannia! with gusto. Doesn't it just bring shivers down the spine?
...but I wonder how many ever pay any attention to those words these days? Britons never to be slaves?
Sadly, few, I should imagine.
Without a good dose of this totally un-PC nationalism to help to stop Britain going down the gurgler, slaves it will be.
That's exactly what we need. Well put, JudahQ! "A good dose of un-PC nationalism to help stop Britain going down the gurgler".
If people like you and I - and our friends on this forum - have anything to do with it, slaves we will NEVER be. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks as we do, and not everyone is as aware of the nature of Islam.
JudahQ:
Mark, I am giving your book some good press on the Anglican Mainstream Forum. I have linked from there to the review on my website, and suggested that folks really must read it to be up with the play.
That's extremely kind of you. I really do appreciate it very much indeed. How kind!
Expect sales to skyrocket now **she says hopefully!** :)
That's a very nice, exciting prospect! :-)
Anyway, thanks again. Everybody needs a friend like you!
JudahQ:
I have just read your comment on the Anglican Mainstream Forum. It's a truly excellent comment. I hope you don't mind my sharing it with others here. It can be read here.
Thank you!
JudahQ:
No, I'm not following you around. It's just that I couldn't resist taking a look. :-)
You're doing a fine job, too. Wait a while! They'll come around when the first nuclear bomb falls somewhere in the West!
I had no problem being "let in". Though I notice that for some of the posts, one has to be registered. Yours was not one of those posts.
Maybe I shall pop over there to post when I can; though not now. I have some food shopping to do for the weekend.
I'm so glad that at least one of the commenters there is going to buy my book. Thank you for helping me there, JudahQ. Who knows? Perhaps more will when one has read it.
Thank you so much for working your magic on them!
JudahQ:
There has been another excellent comment since, from someone who is a senior missionary with considerable experience in Islamic countries, and he has supported what I have said. You might like to pop over there again to see. :)
I have been over there to take a look. I wasn't quite sure which comment you were referring to, though. What is the name of the poster?
By the way: Thank you so much for plugging my book. That's so kind of you. I appreciate your support greatly.
I sincerely hope no nuclear bomb hits anywhere in the west - it will probably be too late to benefit greatly from a changed mind by then. :(
Oh, we'd all agree with you there, I'm sure.
Happy Food Shopping ;)
Been and done it now. I'm not going to starve now. Not for the next week, anyway! :-) The freezer and fridge are FULL! All I have to do now is start eating it all.
JudahQ:
Thank you again! I thought it must have been 'fastrider' that you were referring to. I'm glad he agrees with you. After all, it's the only sensible position to take.
You would be more than welcome to come and join me to eat the food. In fact, that would be a wonderful idea! I've got a fridge full of 'goodies', which I am sure you'd enjoy. Pity about the distance between us; and pity about those painful sutures, too. I see you must have had an abcess after all. I hope that the emergency surgery you had will sort the matter out, once and for all.
Get better soon!
