Skip Western Europe this Summer

 by Roger SImon

In case you have missed them, here (via Wikipedia) are some details of the construction of the mammoth Eyyub Sultan Mosque in Strasbourg, France :

“The mosque is being built at a total area of 7,000 square metres (75,000 sq ft). The minarets are 36 metres (118 ft) high. The Kebab Center will have a capacity of 2,500 worshippers indoor and another 2,500 on its adjacent sahn. When completed, it will be the largest mosque in Europe.^”

For comparison, the surface area of Notre Dame is a mere 64,000 sq ft.

Construction of the mosque began in 2017 and is ongoing. Its major funder is the Milli Görüs Islamic Confederation, which is affiliated with the Turkish government and its President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Others, including Qatar, are also involved, but Milli Görüs will manage the complex upon completion.

It’s situated within walking distance of the Krimmeri-Meinau station on the SNCF (French railway), virtually on the border between France and Germany, the two most populous Western European countries, giving the mosque easy access for some 150 million people.

What’s going on? I think we already know. Islam seeks to take over Europe, this time without firing a gun, and they are doing a remarkably good job of it. With this giant mosque, they are building a monumental structure to assert dominance over the continent.

European countries, primarily those in the West—their leaders guilty of their own past imperialism but also greedy; they wanted cheap labor—have long made an immigration pact with the Islamic devil that many in those same European countries now regret for multiple reasons. Among the most repellent of those is the prevalence of the grooming of children, as in the UK, by people they euphemistically call “Asians” (actually Pakistanis).

Meanwhile, the incompatibility of Sharia law with Western law makes true assimilation both impossible for and unwanted by most of the newcomers. This has been known for decades, if not for centuries. And yet the immigration continues, virtually unabated.

It’s reached the point where a Muslim politician in Molenbeek, Belgium, recently stated, “Anyone who doesn’t accept Islam should leave the country.”

We are now having our own problems in Texas and elsewhere with a similar not-so-long-range intention. We are going to have to deal with this, especially as it affects our youth, many of whom are listening to “enemies within” from the podcast world who have a disturbing affinity for Sharia and its attendant misogyny.

But does that still mean we should do something about Europe? Many think we should ignore them. After all, we have an ocean between us. Ultimately, however, we are in this together, part of the same tradition.

Nevertheless, on the surface, it would seem there is not much we can do. The recent behavior of Western European leadership, particularly the UK and France, not to mention Spain and Italy, vis-à-vis the Iran War does not augur well. NATO has become irrelevant. The UN always was. Even our government has its own issues (midterms) that tend to vitiate our actions.

But there is something we, as private citizens, as We the People, can do:

This summer, don’t take our vacations in Western Europe! Just don’t!

It may seem like a little thing, but it’s a start and will have an impact, will be noticed and remarked upon. It’s not just that your dollars will be missed. It’s more symbolic. Stay away from those countries until they reform their open-door approach to Islamic immigration and take action to preserve their own cultures, which is, to a great extent, ours as well.

Remember “If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium”? Not anymore.

For those old enough to have grown up on Arthur Frommer’s “Europe on Five Dollars a Day” and its “Amazing Amsterdam," despite the best efforts of Pim Fortuyn, Geert Wilders, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and others, that beautiful city has turned into jihad central.

We know about the UK, France, Spain, Germany, and Italy, although the leadership of those countries appears tenuous. We shall see.

Meanwhile, if you really want to go to Europe, go East, meaning Hungary—its doors still apparently closed to Islamic immigration after Orban’s defeat—Czechia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and so forth. There’s lots to see.

Better yet, go South to Latin America.

If you’re trying to avoid a hot American summer, try Chile and Argentina, with their myriad Patagonian penguins. And speaking of Argentina, who wouldn’t want to visit Buenos Aires with its food, wine, tango, and the most libertarian, rock and roll president on Earth?

Lastly, we have many friends in Western Europe, millions actually, who are clearly dissatisfied with what their leaders have done and have formed political parties to oppose them. This too has been going on for a while. By taking our little action, by saying no to Provence and Tuscany for once, we are sending a message that can only support them in their fight for change. It won’t solve everything, but, hey, we’re Americans. We count.
