Through the actions of its votaries Islam presents us time
and time again with unforeseeable shocks. From occupying or bombing embassies, through hijacking
ships or flying planes into buildings, suicide bombings of public transport, ‘lone
wolf’ attacks, to most recently the tidal wave of illegal migrants, the West is
under assault from outside like never before.
What will Islam inflict on us next?
Even having followed Islam’s conquest of the West for twenty years, I could
not muster one guess.
The current illegal migrant crisis shows how the West
manages things publicly, and where one
has to read between the lines. The West
wasn’t just faced with this sudden onslaught.
The media were creating a narrative of a tragedy not of the migrants’
making. Columnists were blaming the West
for the rise of Islamic State and for causing strife in Iraq and Syria,
ignoring the fact that many other states were supplying migrants on an
industrial scale. They actively
encouraged sympathy for migrants while finding fault with the West's response. The stage-managed photograph of the dead
three-year-old boy, notwithstanding the outrageous behaviour of his father
which directly led to his death, triggered an avalanche of manipulated reactions
forcing governments around the world into accepting greater numbers of migrants
than they could normally cope with. Even
the language used to describe the situation came under intense scrutiny.
Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic responded
quickly by building fences along their borders and policing them. They promised to take only Christians on the
wise principle of preventing social disruption.
This led to intense criticism from western European countries which were
ineffectively trying to enforce quotas.
It seems clear now that while trying to claim the moral high
ground these same states were making urgent and discrete changes to their
own border controls, having been caught short by the magnitude, speed and
sympathy that illegal migrants had generated.
Now we hear that the Schengen Agreement, a cornerstone of the European
Union offering borderless travel across its component states, is being involuntarily
revised.
Yet even as Europe is being conquered and its foundational principles
compromised, nobody blames the cause, that of resurgent Islam.
Worse still, nobody with any influence and power is actively
opposing it.
Welcome to the new, bigger Islamic world. Given what’s happening in the old, buggered Islamic
world, you are unlikely to enjoy it.
