Jihadists seem to be leading
an assault against freedom and against secular democracies.
Sunni Islam's most prominent
preacher, Yusuf al Qaradawi, declared that the day will come when, like
Constantinople, Rome will be Islamized.
It is Islam, not Christianity,
that now saturates Europe's landscape and imagination.
According to US President
Trump's strategic advisor Steve Bannon, the "Judeo-Christian West is collapsing,
it is imploding. And it's imploding on our watch. And the blowback of that is
going to be tremendous".
The impotence and the
fragility of our civilization is haunting many Europeans as well.
Europe, according to the historian David Engels will face the fate of the
ancient Roman Republic: a civil war. Everywhere, Europeans see signs of
fracture. Jihadists seem to be leading an assault against freedom and against
secular democracies. Fears occupy the collective imagination of Europeans. A
survey of more than 10,000 people from ten different European countries has
revealed increasing public opposition to Muslim immigration. The Chatham House
Royal Institute of International Affairs carried out a survey, asking
online respondents their views on the statement that "all further
migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped". In the 10
European countries surveyed, an average of 55% agreed with the statement.
Mainstream media are now questioning if "Europe fears Muslims more than
the United States".
The photograph used in the
article was a recent Muslim mass prayer in front of Italy's monument, the Coliseum. In echoes of the capture of the great
Christian civilization of Byzantium in Constantinople, Sunni Islam's most
prominent preacher, Yusuf al Qaradawi, declared that the day will come when
Rome will be Islamized.
