Europe's looming demise

By Pamela Geller

"The Europe as you know it from visiting, from your parents or friends is on the verge of collapsing," Geert Wilders said in a speech in the United States last year.

The leader of the Netherlands' populist Party for Freedom added: "We are now witnessing profound changes that will forever alter Europe's destiny and might send the Continent in what Ronald Reagan called 'a thousand years of darkness.' " And not just Europe, but America as well.

Been to Europe lately? Thought it was bad? You ain't seen nothing yet. The passage of the Lisbon Treaty, hailed by President Obama, nailed the coffin shut on national sovereignty in Europe. The people of Europe fought it, but were overwhelmed by their political elites and the lack of American leadership in this age of our rather Marxist, collectivist U.S. president.

Come Jan. 1, 2010, a disastrous and suicidal pact called the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Europe/Mediterranean) goes into effect with little fanfare or examination. It boggles the mind that such a consequential and seismic cultural shift could be mandated and put into play without so much as a murmur from the mainstream media.

Why should Americans care about this? Americans have to care because this global gobbledygook is coming to our shores, thanks to our globalist president.

The European human rights group called Stop the Islamization of Europe (SIOE) has been working tirelessly to expose the mass Muslim immigration plan of the Euro-Med Partnership.

A statement on the SIOE Web site criticizes the secrecy of the process: "It was shocking to hear about the plans and at the same time knowing that Danish politicians and a [cowardly] Danish press - who is otherwise proud to be critical - has told nothing to the Danish people about this project which begins in January.

This also showed clearly at the conference. Only very few politicians showed up and no media. Those politicians who showed up had obviously never heard about the Euro-Mediterranean project.

The goal of the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation is to create a new Greater European Union encompassing both Europe and North Africa, with the Mediterranean Sea becoming a domestic Eurabian sea. The goal is to establish a "comprehensive political partnership," including a "free trade area and economic integration"; "considerably more money for the partners" (that is, more European money flowing into North Africa); and "cultural partnership" - that is, importation of Islamic culture into post-Christian Europe.

According to the SIOE, in the Euro-Med plan "Europe is to be islamized. Democracy, Christianity, European culture and Europeans are to be driven out of Europe. Fifty million North Africans from Muslim countries are to be imported into the EU."

Skeptical? It's already happening. The British newspaper the Daily Express reported in October 2008 on "a controversial taxpayer-funded 'job centre' " that opened in Mali at that time as "just the first step towards promoting 'free movement of people in Africa and the EU.' Brussels economists claim Britain and other EU states will 'need' 56 million immigrant workers between them by 2050 to make up for the 'demographic decline' due to falling birthrates and rising death rates across Europe."

To offset this decline, a "blue card" system is to be created that will allow card holders to travel freely within the European Union and have full rights to work - as well as the full right to collect welfare benefits.

A Muslim population from Africa moving freely into Europe threatens America. On Christmas Day, a Nigerian Muslim flew from Amsterdam to Detroit and tried to explode a bomb on the plane - after he was allowed to board the plane without a passport. The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership will make jihad attacks like this one all the easier.

And once in Europe, Muslims have already begun demanding special privileges and accommodations. IslamOnline reported on Dec. 21 that "Muslims activists from 26 European countries have come together to launch the first rights council to enlighten European Muslims about their rights, monitor rising Islamophobia and defend Muslim rights in European courts of law."

Ali Abu Shwaima, a Muslim leader in Italy, explained: "We think European human rights groups are not doing enough to defend the rights of Muslims. Therefore we thought that we need this new council, especially that all laws and constitutions in Europe respect freedom of religion and oppose all forms of discrimination and racism."

"Islamophobia," "discrimination" and "racism" are all terms Muslims in Europe and America use to confuse people into thinking that the perpetrators of Islamic terrorism are the real victims. And it is working: Mr. Wilders is going on trial in the Netherlands, instead of all the Islamic hate sponsors he is fighting against. It has to be this way, to increase harmony among the Muslim and non-Muslim member states of the Euro-Med Partnership.

This internationalism is already destroying what has made Europe free and great. And now Mr. Obama seems to want to do the same to America.

Considering Obama's Outreach to 'Muslim World'

End-of-year thoughts on U.S. President Barack Obama's outreach to the "Muslim world."

The initiative has emboldened the Islamist (clerical fascist) enemy by helping to legitimize its fundamental tenet, which holds that the world's Muslims constitute a giant community of believers, known as the Ummah, united by religion to a degree that transcends all traces of nationality or race or class, and that the supreme authority over the Ummah should be the Koran, or the "holy Koran," as Obama refers to Islam's central religious text. Islamists assert that all Muslims must be ruled either by a single, all-powerful caliphate or by a global network of "Islamic republics" under Islamic law (sharia). 

In his approach to the Ummah, Obama, who was born a Muslim according to sharia, and studied and practiced Islam as a child in the world's most populous Muslim country, Indonesia, has effectively endorsed Islamist ideology. Even worse, he has elevated the status of the mythical pan-Islamic nation to that of a superpower, on a par with the United States. In so doing, he has undermined secular governments in predominantly Muslim countries, strengthened the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoots and front groups, and endangered the lives of secular Muslims and non-Muslims struggling to survive in these backward and increasingly dangerous places.

Why has Obama done this?

One explanation is that Obama is a closet revolutionary who believes that a temporary, tactical alliance with Islamism is necessary for obliterating national boundaries and hastening the advent of world government. 

Another explanation, at the risk of being branded a conspiracy theorist, is that Obama is a puppet or a pawn of powerful forces and interest groups who have decided to appease radical Islam in order to (a) safeguard Saudi Arabia and preserve its preeminent position as an oil producer; (b) contain China's rise; and (c) counter Russia's resurgence.

It could be said that Obama is the elites' Muslim, so to speak, their answer to Osma Bin Laden, who heads the only Islamist group that the United States is apparently still unwilling to engage (appease). Killing or capturing Bin Laden will signal an end to a war that the Obama administration is in the process of downgrading to the level of an international law enforcement challenge. This reporter predicts a sharp spike in attempts to eliminate the Al Qaeda leader.

His death is long overdue, of course, and will naturally be especially applauded by Americans if it results from American military or CIA action. But the administration aims to use the enhanced credibility that will result from rubbing out Bin Laden as a cover for reconciling with the Taliban and running out of Afghanistan, after first sending in more troops; allowing Iran to become a nuclear power, while promising to contain it through a combination of "tough" diplomacy and sanctions; reinvigorating efforts to engage Hamas and Hezbollah; and applying even more pressure on Israel to withdraw to indefensible borders and agree to the creation of an Islamist-ruled or -dominated Palestinian state in the disputed areas of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. These strategic concessions by Israel are deemed necessary by detractors and critics of America's ally, the only democracy in the Middle East, for defusing regional tensions and denying "extremists" throughout the so-called Muslim world a central rallying point and a justification for anti-American violence, agitation and propaganda.
