Volume 6 Number 4.4

European culture is under siege irrespective of attempts at European unification into a "Christianized" United States of Europe. Liberalization, secularization, and the need for cheap labor brought about liberal immigration policies in some European states and the inauguration of assured cultural suicide. The result is the migration of millions of Islamic workers and their families into western Europe who have no respect for nor desire to adopt its culture as their own. This has heightened anti-Semitism and cultural conflict throughout the region for Islamic culture is neither European nor Christian in its values, ideals, or mores.

Christian and Islamic cultures are mutually incompatible religious systems. Contrary to popular belief Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God, nor have the same theological ideals, nor live the same way of life. Nearly all Christians whether orthodox or heterodox believe in the deity of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Christians who are orthodox in their beliefs and worship�whether Orthodox, Roman Catholic, or Protestant�worship a triune God. This deification of Jesus of Nazareth is anathema to Islam. Muslims see this elevation of Jesus of Nazareth into God as the idolatrous polytheism of infidels.

Adherents of Islamic culture devote themselves to making their religion and way of life the dominate culture of every land they enter. Once in political control they set about to minimize the freedoms of non-Muslims. The wars of the 21st century seem destined to be between Muslims and their Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist neighbors. Should Islam continue to grow in Western Europe at its present rate, within this 21st century it will become the dominate European religious and political force.

Do not expect Islamic immigrants to become westernized Europeans seeking democratic ideals such as equality for women and the freedom of religion and the press. Such freedoms do not exist in any true Islamic state. The Islamic persecution of Christian populations in Muslim countries is well known. Freedom for the indigenous Christian population in Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia are illusory. Ask yourself a basic question: What Islamic nation is a functioning democracy allowing all its citizens the freedom of religion? None.

Muslims claim that their deity Allah is God but Christians and Jews well-grounded in the Scriptures deny this. Allah is an Islamic deity defined by the belief system and way of life Muslims observe. Just because the English word God in Arabic is Allah, so used by Christian Arabs, does not make the "Allah of Christians" the "Allah of Islam." While the phonetics may be the same the theological concepts are not. Far from it.

Christians, at least those who believe in the inspiration, integrity, and authority of the Bible, regard Islam as the devil's religion. For them the "Allah of Islam" is a false god. The fruits of Islam are not the love, joy, and peace of Christianity, but rather anger, hate, slavery, intolerance, bigotry, terrorism, and war. Simply because Muslims claim and declare their desert deity as the God of Abraham and the Eternal Creator does not make it so. There is no God but one (I Corinthians 8:4) and the Christian assertion is that the eternal, almighty God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is not the Allah of Islam.

As their nation's are dependent upon Middle Eastern oil and swelling Islamic populations France's Chirac and Germany's Schr�der have walked a treacherous trail. In their lack of support of America in the war against terrorism, which in spite of the political rhetoric and posturing of the U.S. government is a war with a virulent and radical Islam, they risked social and political upheaval at home.

The French, who fuss about their language becoming tainted with American English words, have allowed their cities to swell with Islamic peoples holding to a very un-French way of life. An estimated five to eight million Muslims live in France - making Islam the country's second religion and host to the largest Muslim population in Europe. While a few months ago French officials called for a revision of a century-old law on the separation of church and state, to allow government bodies to subsidize mosques, Chirac has in an address on French television from Elysee Palace called on the French Parliament to enact a law to exclude from state schools girls wearing the Islamist foulard (head scarf). To remain politically correct in a secular state Chirac also asked for a ban on a big crosses and the Yarmulke (a skullcap worn by religious Jews).

While Muslims and their sympathizers toot the message that France has no reason to believe that its Islamic population will undermine the French Republic that is exactly what is happening. Meanwhile, European anti-Semitism is once again on the rise. This time its basis is not National Socialism or the resurgence of the far-right. It arises directly out of the Islamization of Europe. Many Europeans believe that Israel and the United States are the "threats to world peace."

The secularization of old Europe is the direct result of post World War II U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. stance toward Europe through the last sixty years of Democrat and Republican administrations has been the creation of a single Europe wherein there would be no more internecine wars. The underlying fallacy is that the U.S. cannot make Europeans think and behave like Americans. Europe has it own culture and values.

As for France, Chirac has a county teeming with Islamic militants and a fearful French citizenry. Do not be surprised if an ultra right-wing government does not come to power in future elections. In an interview with three French nationals they told me that people they know are fearful and increasingly will support the right. Some observers even foresee a Muslim Coup d'Etat in the offing.

There is no such thing as benign Islam. In the left's war on Christianity the silence given to the persecution of Christians by Muslims is deafening. Make no mistake the Greeks, Russians, and the countries of the new Europe know well the threat of Islam. In this insane time when anyone who attempts to criticize Islam or defend Christianity is deemed racist by the left (including most of the nation's liberally educated Christian pastors and ministers) you would do well to consider the implications of the threat to Europe and ultimately to the United States. Two of the best sources for learning are Oriana Fallaci's The Rage and the Pride (Fallaci 2001)and Serge Trifkovic's The Sword of the Prophet. (Trifkovic 2002)

Who will save what is left of Christian Europe from an undeclared war they call Jihad? There is only one authority with the historical and political prestige to make a real difference�the papacy. Within a pro-Islam Roman Catholic Church will the Pope take the needed steps?
