It looks like Berlin is going to drop the word, "Christmas" from its vocabulary. The city is considering whether to rename the coming holiday season, "Winterfest" so as to make its diverse population feel at home. Here is an upbeat article in English from the Deutsche Welle written by Rebecca from Sunnybrook Farm.

Well, why not? Mercedes Benz is already referring to Christmas as the "Winter Event" in announcing their Chr, er Winter Event sales in English.

ReplyDeleteThough Christian belief remains fairly strong in some European countries, like Poland, and Islam is a potent force among Muslims across the Continent, contemporary Europe is the closest thing to a godless civilization the world has ever known.
ReplyDeleteDoes this place it in the vanguard of world history? That is what many Europeans think, which is why they have been caught off guard by the challenge of radical Islam even in their own back yard.
They find it hard to believe that people can still take God seriously and want to shape society according to his dictates and so they stand by and watch their country disappear. They have nothing to believe in. They have moral relativism and each judges right from wrong on his own... That is until Sharia Law will tell them what to think, how to dress, and who to start praying to again.

Future Frenchmen will look and act like Arafat rather than DeGaulle.
Most babies in Europe are named Mohammed, far more than any of their traditional names.
Why Miggie, what makes you think Sharia law is going to tell them anything? Atheists can be pretty militant when some tin-horn dictator with a holy book in his hand tries to boss them around.
