More on Islam and Europe...

In yesterday's posting "Wolffsohn: Why Europe’s best Muslims are leaving Europe" we addressed the growing Islamic threat to Europe.

In the same context: blunt remarks from ex-Mossad chief Efraim Halevy in an interview with, of all media, Al Jazeera:

Al Jazeera: You recently said that "by the middle of the century major cities in Germany will have a Muslim majority and so will many federations in Russia". What do you see as the potential implications of such a development? I understand you have made analogies with Arab-Israelis.

Efraim Halevy: I see no analogy between the growing situation in Europe and that in Israel. There is a steady influx of Muslims from a variety of countries into Europe and the estimates concerning Europe are those of UN census officials. I think that the situation in Israel will remain stable and the Jewish majority is assured. I believe that the challenge that the Muslim communities in Europe will pose to the future of European society and culture will be profound and the leadership in Europe will have no escape from facing these dilemmas. I do not think it possible to forecast the outcome of this cultural and social confrontation.

Here is one possible side result of the growing islamization of Europe:

Claudia Roth's successor in 2050?

Mark Steyn is even more pessimistic:

The future belongs to Islam

Islam has youth and will, Europe has age and welfare. (...)  the modern multicultural state is too watery a concept to bind huge numbers of immigrants to the land of their nominal citizenship. So they look elsewhere and find the jihad. The Western Muslim's pan-Islamic identity is merely the first great cause in a world where globalized pathologies are taking the place of old-school nationalism.

For states in demographic decline with ever more lavish social programs, the question is a simple one: can they get real? Can they grow up before they grow old? If not, then they'll end their days in societies dominated by people with a very different world view. (...)

Europe, like Japan, has catastrophic birth rates and a swollen pampered elderly class determined to live in defiance of economic reality. But the difference is that on the Continent the successor population is already in place and the only question is how bloody the transfer of real estate will be. (...) On the Continent and elsewhere in the West, native populations are aging and fading and being supplanted remorselessly by a young Muslim demographic. (...)

There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe -- without swords, without guns, without conquests. The fifty million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades. (...)

"We're the ones who will change you," the Norwegian imam Mullah Krekar told the Oslo newspaper Dagbladet in 2006. "Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes. Every Western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children." As he summed it up: "Our way of thinking will prove more powerful than yours."

On this side of the pond, we've been reading about a Luthern minister who committed suicide via self-immolation at the Erfurt monastery. Obviously a very tormented indidual. In his farewell remarks to his wife he said he was setting himself on fire to warn against the danger of the Islamization of Europe.

Is this getting any attention over there? How is it being taken?

I haven't seen anything about it in the American newspapers, though I admittedly haven't been looking too closely. If he had been protesting Bush, he would no doubt have his visage on thousands of t-shirts soon.
