In Europe, a Wind from the Right Ex Ponto Blows

Europeans of the right and center met recently in Vienna to discuss shared fears over the threat to Europe of a rapidly increasing Muslim population, and to express their appreciation for both the Trump administration and Israel for the ways they are dealing with Islamic threats. More on this meeting, and its significance, can be found here.

While Europe’s attention since February 2022 has been fixed on Russia’s aggression on Ukraine, and the implied threat of further aggression against NATO countries, the attendees at this conference believe that the real threat to their wellbeing comes from within, from the tens of millions of Muslim migrants who have so negligently been permitted to settle in the midst of non-Muslims, whom the Qur’an teaches Muslims to regard as “the most vile of created beings.” The demographic threat from Muslims is a result not only of continuing immigration, legal and illegal, but also from the much higher fertility rates of Muslim women. In 1974, at the U.N., the Algerian leader Houari Boumédiène predicted that Muslims would conquer Europe peacefully, “through the wombs of our women.” And it is happening, as the Muslim women in Europe keep producing babies at a higher rate than the indigenous non-Muslims.

Israel was praised at this meeting, in a remarkable display of moral and geopolitical intelligence by these European political figures of the center-right and right who know that Israel’s war against jihadists, both Sunni and Shi’a, is their war as well. For Muslims would never be satisfied were Israel to disappear, to be replaced by a 23rd Arab state. They know, as Muhammad said, “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.” The destruction of Israel would not sate, but whet Muslim appetites to conquer, through both demography and violence, the countries of Europe where 50 million Muslims now live.

The conference in Vienna reflected what might be called a Great Awakening, as the indigenous people of Europe look around at what the Muslim invasion has already meant for their lives. They now realize, or rather are finally beginning to realize, that the 50 million Muslims that they have allowed to settle in their midst cannot possibly integrate into societies fashioned by those who, as Infidels, are despised by Muslims as “the most vile of created beings.” Muslims are further taught not to take “Christians and Jews as friends, for they are friends only with each other.” Why would anyone expect such people to assimilate? They are willing to batten on the benefits the European states still lavish upon them, but they are not grateful; such support is interpreted as a kind of proleptic jizyah. The anti-immigrant parties, which are really anti-Muslim-immigrant parties, are everywhere surging in the polls. These include, in France, the National Rally headed by Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, in Germany the Alternative für Deutschland headed by Alice Weidel, in the U.K. the Reform Party of Nigel Farage, in Italy the Fratelli d’Italia headed by the current Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, and in the Netherlands, the Freedom Party of Geert Wilders. The people of Europe, or many of them, have come to realize that the former German Chancellor Angela Merkel was wrong when, in 2015, opening her country to nearly a million immigrants that year, assured her countrymen that “Wir schaffen das!” — “We can do this!”— meaning that yes, we can handle such an immigrant influx. It turned out that neither the Germans nor any other peoples in Europe have successfully integrated Muslims into their societies. Instead, the large-scale presence of Muslims has led to a situation that is more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous than would be the case without that Muslim presence.

It is fitting that this meeting on the threat of Muslim ingravescent immigration to the survival of Europe was held in Vienna. In 1683, the Ottoman Muslims lay siege to the city, but it did not surrender, and the Ottoman troops, their numbers much diminished, retreated back to the Ottoman domains. And that unsuccessful siege was the high-water mark of the Ottoman invasion of Europe. It is pleasant to think that this 2025 congress in Vienna will again mark the high-water mark of a new attempt at a Muslim “conquest,” and that, from here on out, for the Muslims in Europe, it will be downhill all the way.
