Welcome To The New Post-Christian, Islamicized France
Paris is burning. Over the weekend, one of the great cities of Western civilization was overrun by thousands of rioters who used a victory by a French soccer team as an excuse to wreak havoc. They burned cars, attacked police, and looted businesses. At least one person was killed, and over 200 more were injured. The flames even reached the base of the Eiffel Tower.
Welcome to the new post-Christian, Islamicized France.
If the scenes online shock you, they really shouldn’t. It’s the very predictable outcome of cultural suicide. Over the past few decades, Europe has let in millions of mostly Muslim migrants who have transformed cities and towns across the continent. In France, Muslims now make up some 10% of the total population. In many cases, these French Muslims do not assimilate. Instead, they self-segregate, building mosques and forming Muslim-only neighborhoods where even French police hesitate to go.
What we saw in Paris over the weekend was much more than just some bad behavior over a soccer game. There’s a larger strategy at work here.
“We have managed to take over Paris even faster than the German Army in 1940,” one muslim protester stated. “It took us just three hours!”
Have they conquered Paris? Maybe not quite yet, but that’s certainly the goal. This is a jihad against France. That charming protester also mocked the right-wing French politician Marine Le Pen, who is one of the only people in French politics to speak out against mass Muslim immigration, while weak, woke left-wing leadership from the likes of Emmanuel Macron has only made the problem worse.
We see the same story across Western Europe. Instead of ending mass Muslim migration, they continue to welcome in literal boatloads of young, mostly Muslim, military-age men. This is unsustainable.
Europe is now facing a crisis of its own making. Left-wing globalists have happily imported tens of millions of people who hail from a culture that is openly hostile to Judeo-Christian Western civilization. For the left, they’re getting exactly what they expected and wanted out of this arrangement. Now, they can use Islam as a battering ram against the traditional Western way of life that both sides despise.
What Islamic armies couldn’t accomplish by the sword when they drove into central France in the 8th century will now be achieved through numbers. It’s a long-term strategy, and it’s working. Mass migration and self-segregation will eat away at European societies from within. That’s the plan.
And remember, today’s Europeans don’t reproduce! They have long ago abandoned the Bible and its encouragement to “be fruitful and multiply.”
But what about the United States? In places like Minneapolis, Texas, Michigan, and New York City, Islam is on the rise, again, aided and abetted by the left. Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), who’s all about feminism and “my body, my choice,” donned an Islamic headscarf last week alongside Zohran Mamdani to speak to a group of Muslim men—who weren’t even paying attention to her.
This tolerance for the intolerant and caving into their demands is what makes scenes like Paris over the weekend possible.
The United States, under President Trump, is the last remaining firewall and standard bearer for the Western world. If the likes of AOC and Mamdani ever take power here nationally, the lights go out for Western civilization.
