It has been almost a decade now since former German Chancellor Angela Merkel led the way in opening the floodgates to so-called refugees and asylum-seekers during the Syrian civil war. Since then, millions of people-not just Syrians- have found their way into Europe from the Middle East, Afghanistan, Somalia, North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa. Most come from Muslim-majority countries, and they are primarily young, unaccompanied males. What could possibly go wrong?
Everything.
Since then, the demographics of Western Europe have changed drastically and this change will continue until, in the not-so-distant future, Europe-at least Western Europe- will become majority Muslim.
The new arrivals refuse to assimilate since they have no regard for the culture, values, or traditions of the countries that receive them, and give them housing, food, and monthly financial assistance. Rather than show gratitude, most only demand more while forming gangs and committing crimes, both petty and major (rape, murder, Islamic terror attacks). Almost every day, someone is murdered in Europe by migrants, women are raped, and European cities have become crime-ridden.
In Italy, the island of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean, which only has a population of about 6,000, has almost twice that number of asylum-seekers in their asylum centers. And more arrive every day. Italy now has a Nigerian mafia, which is particularly vicious in nature. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni came into office largely on her promise to halt the invasion. She has failed.
In the Netherlands, they are dealing with the so-called Moroccan Maffia (two f's), which controls the drug trade and has carried out not only gang killings but politically-inspired assassinations. Just yesterday, Rotterdam was shocked by a triple murder carried out by a 32-year-old man identified only as Fouad L. Not surprisingly, the Dutch media is running the standard storyline that Fouad L. was crazy. In addition, he is being described as a neo-Nazi, and a supporter of the conservative, anti-migrant political party, Forum for Democracy. The evidence of this is flimsy.
Sweden is the rape capital of Europe, the bombing capital of Europe, and likely the murder capital as well. Gang wars are the rule now, largely between migrants who have roots in the Middle East. This week, a bomb went off in an apartment block near Uppsala, and an innocent woman (who was not the target) was killed. In this case, a young Muslim woman on the verge of becoming a doctor. The suspected intended target is a member of the notorious gang called the Foxtrot Network, largely made up of Arabs and Kurds.
In the aftermath of that crime and others, Sweden's feckless prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, went on TV and asked the military to come in and assist the police (who are overwhelmed). Kristersson described his country's situation as the worst in Europe and promised that long prison sentences would be handed out and deportation for foreign criminals. To date, these things have not happened in Sweden, and I doubt much will change. Will the military help close Sweden's borders? Will they help deport criminal aliens? Will they help keep Jews in cities like Malmo safe from Muslim immigrants? For several years now, Jews in that city have been leaving in droves, largely out of Sweden altogether.
Like Sweden, France's Jews feel they have no future in that country thanks to the Muslim immigrants. In recent years, there have been a number of attacks against Jews, such as the 2012 Toulouse Jewish school attack, the 2006 kidnap, torture, and murder of Ilan Halimi, the senseless murder of Sarah Halimi (65), who was murdered in her own apartment and thrown off her balcony, the similar murder of Mireille Knoll (85) murdered in her apartment in 2018. And then there are the horrific terror attacks in cities like Paris in 2015, Nice (2016), and others.
And there is no end in sight.
And while the EU wrings its hands and watches more arrive by the tens of thousands, member nations in East Europe like Hungary refuse to "take their fair share" as demanded by the EU. Recently, we have learned that Hungarian border guards on the Serbian border are being met with automatic weapons fire from migrants trying to enter illegally. It has gotten that bad.
As an American, I don't want to be guilty of hypocrisy in not mentioning our own lax border problems and the disgraceful policies of the Biden administration. But as I sit here reading the depressing reports out of Europe, I ask myself: How many innocent people, including children, have to die before Europe wakes up and stops this invasion? How many women have to be raped? How many churches have to be desecrated? How many Islamist-inspired terror attacks and mass murders have to happen?
