Europe: Remember To Feed The Crocodile!
"O Captain! my captain! our fearful trip is done". Thus are the famous first lines of Walt Whitman's poem "O Captain! My Captain".
For Europe now at days, a trip has certainly been done and completed. The fearful trip however is just about to begin.
In just a few decades, the whole demographic structure of Europe has changed dramatically. A few countries Like Sweden and France may in the next 50 years become nations with atleast a nominal Moslem majority, whereas the rest of old western Europe, will have substantial majorities of moslems around 20-30 % at that time, if not more.
Europe is set for a cultural revolution of a like never seen before, but looking at the current trends, it might not serve to our betterment this time.
A new Iron curtain has descended upon Europe, but this time it stands not where borders between nations are: It stands between the ghettoes and lively metropolic centers. It stands between women dressed in skirts and women dressed in hijabs. It stands between young men with the selfimage of being super-humans, moslem and males, arch-patriachs and modern secular men looking for love and equality. It stands between old backwards medieval religion and modern secular civilization. It stands between those who see the sharia state as ideal and those who see the democratic state being the ideal based on liberties rather than dictates. It stands in short, between us and every Moslem that will not assimilate.
On each side of this iron curtain, a cold war is now breeding, a cold war that will gradually be moving towards open and possibly quite hot conflict, the longer we wait, the less problems we solve, the more immigrants we let in, the less we assimilate or to the minimum integrate, the larger the clash will eventaully become.
Yet most of our leaders are spending their time, feeding the crocodile, caressing it and trying make friends with it. The Muhammad cartoons affair being the prime example, but like I said, the fearful trip has just begun.
There has been controversy Lately over that The St. George flag National symbol of England, has been banned from being flyed by workers of several UK companies like National Transcommunications Limited (NTL), Jaguar and for Firefighters in Barking(London), for Cap (taxi) drivers in Blackpool, Cheltenham, Ipswich and Manchester, which will be fined if they do carry St. George.
Now ask yourself, did you see that one coming ? Let`s be honest most people did not.
But now we can no longer escape it. For fans of soccer, a worldcup in the 21th century is not the same as it was in 20th century. This is not just because the teams have changed players and tactics, this is because an iron curtain has descended in our very streets, at our workplaces, in literature, art, in media, the iron curtain stands, impenetrable, solid and tall.
Self censorship and appeasementHas become the order of our day in the wake of the Van Gogh murder and the Muhammad cartoon crisis, no one seems to know a way out or appear to have the guts to even acknowledge the problem, a step necesary if the problem is ever going to be addressed by solutions.
That showing flags can actually be dangerous, an incident a few days ago in Malmoe, Sweden shown us. A young man was hunted and hit by a car full of immigrant youngsters for wearing his own choice of dress which included as reported a T-shirt with the Swedish flag, nothing strange when Sweden just played in the world cup Video from the Scene of crime and arrest Here , news article in Swedish Here.
But no, we shall not condemn such actions when we can just refrain from using provocative symbols like national flags, right or ?
Oh Captain! my Captain! Where art thou ?
As the vessel of old Europe gets filled with more and more holes, the Captains, the Chief officers, the Radar man, in their incompetence or paralyzation, whatever be the mysterious reason ? keep us on our fateful course towards the rocks that will crush the hull.
Let me rephrase another quote by Churchill:
Never before in the history of mankind, has so much damage been caused by so few.
