However,
today it is Muslim migrants with the strong monotheistic system and settled
European populations who lack one. Europe is in the thrall of a kind of vague, loosely held,
atheistic social humanism, which is probably incapable of resisting the
adherents of the strictest, most doctrinaire monotheistic system ever devised,
Islam, which literally means “submission.” Whereas the ancient migrating
Germans, beginning with their elites, universally converted to the existing monotheistic
system, in Europe today it is working in the opposite way.
It is the migrants with the stronger and
more unyielding belief system. Muslim migrants to Europe tend not
to assimilate, and if anything, they become more doctrinaire as way of
self-identifying and distinguishing themselves from existing populations they
see as inferior. Already in Europe a conversion process in underway,
which not only includes disgruntled
youth, but also educated
elites. These converts lack moral underpinnings and find little
objection to adopting the path of least resistance. Like the
existentialist philosopher Martin Heidegger who had no problem joining the
Nazis, European elites are likely to increasingly adopt Islam. Their
ready, even enthusiastic adoption of Muslim positions with respect to Israel,
and to a lesser extent the United States, are a sign of worse things to come.
The key historical point to recognize
is that focusing on demographics, while important, ignores the fact that
relative population size is not decisive. If current trends continue,
Islamic politics and culture will dominate Europe long before Muslims reach a
demographic majority, just as the German migrants dominated Romanized Western
Europe while never constituting a majority of the population. The
process is already well underway.
