“Islam’s European Conquest: Is America Next?” – excerpts
Thanks to Krishen-ji for alerting me to this article (he forwarded me the link with this subject line: “…None so blind as those who will not see”). So true.
*** Excerpts from Islam’s European Conquest: Is America Next? by John Griffing ***
…Britain, birthplace of parliamentary democracy, has fallen to Islam. Oxford, once home to the likes of C.S. Lewis, now houses a giant Eastern Islamic Studies Center. If this were the only Islamic addition to Oxford, the mood would be less somber, but when Oxford citizens are forced to awake every morning to the Muslim call to prayer with the full consent of the Church of England, nothing short of conquest has taken place.
Britain’s Muslim demographic is now so dominant that the British government recently began to allow Islamic civil and religious law, known as Sharia, to be enforced along side British law.
But if religious tolerance is good, why is this a problem? Simple-this is not an issue of religious liberty. Islam is not designed to co-exist with western civilization. It is designed to conquer it.
.
…Under Sharia, non-Muslims are forbidden to even criticize Islam. This is significant, considering that a Policy Exchange Poll found that forty percent of British Muslims prefer to be governed by Sharia. Thirty-six percent believe that “apostates” from Islam should be punished by death. A Guardian Poll indicates that a sizeable number of British Muslims favor terrorist attacks on the United States and even England.[1]
There are presently 85 Sharia courts all across Britain, and, although initial defenders of the transformation claimed that Sharia courts would only exercise authority when consistent with British law, recent developments indicate that Muslims want Sharia pushed still further. Many Muslims advocate a separate police force due to the repeated embarrassment of rampant “honor killings.”
…The central problem is assimilation. Most Muslims don’t move to a country with the purpose of becoming real citizens of that country. Muslims don’t want to be British or French. Muslims come for the wealth of the west, and to make the west Muslim. The evidence is transparent to anyone paying attention. The Parisian riots of 2005 were committed by second and third generation children of Muslim immigrants.
The ultimate aspiration of Muslims is total, global dominion within a theocracy known as a “caliphate.” Be they peaceful Muslims or radical Muslims, all share in this goal.
And, incredibly, we cooperate with this reverse assimilation. Somehow we Westerners now feel compelled to assimilate with Muslims instead of expecting the reverse. Paris fashion runways have even begun designing and modeling “Muslim inspired head wraps and…tunics splattered with simulated blood in what some fashionistas dubbed carnage couture.”[3]
The problem of Muslim integration is so sensitive that 751 areas have been willingly ceded to Islamic residents by the French government. Called “no-go zones” by many, these areas are off-limits to non-Muslims who value their lives.
Dutch Muslims have such a grip on Holland that those who speak out must live in safe houses, like Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders. Yet the Dutch Minister of Justice still wants to make full Sharia an option on the next ballot, which would make Holland the first fully Islamic theocracy in the heart of Europe.
Germany could be next. Matthias Rohe, Judge on the Court of Appeals in Nuremburg wants to see full Sharia in Germany, saying, “we are ready to accept these kind of differences and would apply the norms.” Many areas of Germany are now off limits to police and other uniformed personnel, as in France and the UK.
Muslim majorities will soon be a reality. By 2050, one out of every three people in Europe will be age 60 and over. The UN’s Populations Division estimates that by 2050, if current birth rates are held, Europe will shrink by 200 million as a new Muslim majority dawns.
And now, onto this stage strides President Barack Hussein Obama, who advocates the European model for all aspects of American life; for the economy, for healthcare, and now, in our dealings with Muslims. We know where that road leads. It has been travelled by an entire continent now doomed to cultural and economic destruction.
…President Obama travels the world apologizing for America’s very existence. He redefines Islam’s historical goal as one of peaceful coexistence, its moral ethos as one of “tolerance and the dignity of all human beings,” despite the evidence to the contrary. He pledges that the US “never will be-at war with Islam,” blindly ignoring the present strategic situation. He claims that we are the “biggest Muslim country in the world,” despite the fact that 80 percent of Americans say they are Christian.
…What is our fascination with Islam? Why are we so willing to capitulate to its aims without resistance? Can’t western civilization continue to champion religious liberty without committing suicide?
Radical Islam is inconsistent with American ideals, plain and simple. No two ideologies that embrace concepts so divergent as global domination and freedom can hope to coexist. There can be no compromise.
Europe is among the walking dead; their future is an Islamic one. America, however, still has a choice if we have the courage to make it.

Thanks for bringing this to one’s notice, Shantanu.
I had read that the British were thinking of allowing Sharia law. The picture painted in this article is shocking to say the least. “There are presently 85 Sharia courts all across Britain” !!!!!
The very meaning of tolerance and freedom is distorted if the law of a nation (a non-denominational, general law) does not apply uniformly across all citizens. There must be one law, and that can NEVER be any religious law.
It is clear that England has gone beyond the pale of Western civilisation now. It is a dying country without a sense of the great achievements of its ancestors. Let’s take its thinkers like John Locke and J.S.Mill and adopt them as our own – for there is no one to hear them in England now. Shame on England. Liberty is deeply under seige if this is what is happening in Europe. A shame beyond description.
It is time for liberals all over the world to fight back.

It all started with the US giving impetus to militant aspect of the religion to depower the Soviet State. In the process , they have let the genie out of the bottle.
In 1973 , when the oil prices rocketed up, there was a lot of money available to the faithfuls. There were few sane voices for energy research and for substitute for oil. But all this got drowned in the easy money of trading in oil , which created a new class of futures trading in oil. The faithfuls and the traders from the West just enjoyed and achieved their objective of collapsing the Soviet Union.
The faithfuls used the huge amount of money to spread their faith , which included the collapse of Soviet Union, an objective which the US of A used to bring in a new world disorder. The traders with their kitty overflowing , went on cruises, started media lobbies, went to give lectures at Ivy League Universities.
Unless and until they come out with a energy substitute , extra money from oil will be floating around to do all this. Japan and Europe are serious about this. If the US of A gets serious about this , then there is a likelihood of a substitute coming. The substitute should be such that trading in oil should be menial ( pre 1970 days) so that oil price per barrel should be kept at 25$ a barrel, meaning the world will be no more dependamt on oil.
One feels that the sooner, the energy substitute comes , the better it is. It will lead to diminishing activity of the faithfuls. Of course the traders if they have not invested wisely will have to look for new opportunities.
There is nothing surprising about this :). All you have to do is have a look at world demography of people in the last 1400 or so years of Islam’s existence. That will clearly show you the ‘trend’.
A pretty recent example in another Islamic ruled country – Malaysia.

At the other end of the spectrum, I feel this word ‘liberalism’ is a hoax propagated by so called developed countries since most of it was dominated by ‘Christians’. Wherever Christian values exist – they seem to revel and propagate that word called ‘liberty’. Wheever other religions exist – Hinduism, Buddhism, Jewism, Sikhism, Jainism and other tribal regions etc – they dont come under the umbrella of ‘liberlism’ for the Western scholars.
Witness the recent news of USA announcing that its ‘hawk’ eyes are placed on the Indian government not taking enough care OR providing enough facilities to its religions minorities (Chritsianity and Islam). So wherever USA finds that its missionaries are getting into hurdles with the local governments the country finds deemed to poke its nose in between.
Islam to Chritianity is like that good old ‘number’ line in Mathematics that goes from {-infinity to +infinity} – Nothing neutral or traversing the middle ground for these ever fighting and intolerant religions.
Another report.
Malaysia, what a tragedy!
That Islam is taking over Europe is no surprise. Demographics is ultimately destiny. If Europeans choose not to reproduce and allow immigrants to fill in the gap of having a young work force, this is what happens–England, once the land of the magna carta will now become the land of shariah.
There is an important lesson for Hindus. Having fewer children with no concomitant reduction in reproductive rates of muslims and christians in India is tantamount to collective suicide. Hindu families should have at least three children.
The reason why the muslim invaders were unable to make India Islamic inspite of their brutality was the sheer number of people. Even non-aggressive populations like the Hindus become powerful when they are in large numbers.
The UK is a country that has run on the back of fashion and Realpolitik. Christianity has a tortuous history in the UK. The Romans decimated the druids and the religion they followed and when ancient Rome accepted Christianity, it also became the religion of the tribes that inhabited the UK. With the Romans departure from Britain, Christian institutions were put to the sword by Anglo-Saxon invaders. These were won over by Christian teachings. The Anglo Saxon offered the English crown to the Viking King Canute on condition he converted to the Christian religion: this had the effect of insulating England from further raids by marauding Vikings. The Vikings in their raids on England were very much like the invaders that had Muslim raiders. The difference with Indian history is that they combined a defensive capability with Realpolitik. A further example of is King John’s offer to accept an Islamic mission for the conversion of England if the Moors would help him in his battle with his barons. That was 900 years ago, but the offer was declined. In the fifteenth century, Jews who had been living in England from Roman times were expelled. The present condition of the UK is that Christina religious beliefs among the population has dissipated almost entirely and the Christian churches look enviously at the fervent dedication of the Muslims to their religion. Because Islam is an Abrahamic religion, Christian leaders have looked approvingly and with rose tinted glasses at the presence of Islam in the UK in a way they were not disposed to with the Jews. Their is certainly apprehension among the Jews of Europe that Muslim attacks on them will force them to leave. If Jews suffer such fate, Hindus should not be expected to be spared the same fate. There was a pattern until 9/11 where Hindus were under attack from both the Muslims and the English in some towns of England. Islamic propaganda against Hindus were effective in redirecting attack from Muslims to Jews and Hindus. Hindus should not assume that because a blue water line separates them from Muslims that they would be spared. If we were like Jews, we should claim the same law of return to that Israel has for its Jews. For that we need to reclaim Bharat as a Hindu state.
There are few things we should consider before we reach to the conclusion that Europe will be dominated by followers of Islam. The country like Britain which had ruled over half the world & the countrymen are bounded with their patience & international laws. The tolerance of British government, the liberal immigration policies will surely change in next few decades. We obviously know that British only likes British & hates everyone else & still if there are 86 sharia courts in the country means, its a well thought decision. Its just requires awakening of English Men. Once the protest starts, it will take a shape of revolution & Islam has to wind off from Britain.
A revolution just needs a leader to show direction & Countries make there own destinies
Britain should not be afraid by Islamic demography, as these guys can sell Kebabs , run some small meat shops drive taxies & do hair-cutting … those who fail in this do some terrorist activities. They can create some nuisance but British law will never allow them to take over.
The only country that has never seen any revolution is Britain & it will happen sooner than later & British know how to clean garbage without getting their hands dirty
@Swamy
You ignore the international order and the obligations the UK has signed up to in international law. Britain far from being able to expel unwanted guests has been accommodating the worst of Muslim fanatics under its refugee policy. Muslims who are too extreme even for the likes of Iran and Saudi Arabia are given a home in the UK. If anything, the UK has become another centre of terrorism with Pakistan. There is a tacit understanding that Islam could carry on its international mission to wage war on the world as long as it spared the UK. You might ask why Pakistan is able to get way with having training camps for Islamic terrorists in Kashmir, and you have the perfect answer in countries like the UK. The UK has follows this policy to secure its interests in the Middle East. It also keeps a good distance from Israel for the same reason.
Malaysia Charges 12 for Protest Against Hindu Temple
*** COMMENT MOVED HERE ***
Brief excerpt from Britons are suspicious towards Muslims:
Only a quarter of Britons feel positive towards Muslims, while more than a third report feeling “cool†towards them.
The findings, to be published later this month in the respected British Social Attitudes Survey, show that far greater opposition to Islam than to any other faith and reveal that most people are willing to limit freedom of speech in an attempt to silence religious extremists.
David Voas, professor of population studies at Manchester University, who analysed the data, said that people were becoming intolerant towards all religions because of “the degree to which Islam is perceived as a threat to social cohesionâ€.
