From Christianity to Atheism to Islam

Islam continues to take control of Great Britain and many parts of Europe. The following is excerpted from “Replacement theory is alive in the Islamic takeover of Europe,” Israel National News, Mar. 15, 2023: “Sweden had 8 percent Muslims in 2016. In 2050 it will have 11 percent Muslims if immigration stops completely, but up to 21 percent if it remains ‘normal,’ and 31 percent if it continues at the same pace of the last years. Not bad for the country that boasted of being ‘the least religious in the West.’ There was the transition of an entire people from Christianity to atheism. A Gallup poll said that only in China are there more atheists than in Sweden. David Thurfjell in a book called it Det Gudlösa FolketThe people without God. Speaking with Dagen, theologian Alan Hirsch said: ‘Christianity is decaying throughout the Western world and here it can die out in a generation.’ In a conversation this week with the Tribune Juive, the Algerian writer Boualem Sansal, author of the novel 2084, says: ‘Islam is today the second religion in Europe, but undoubtedly the first in terms of number of practitioners. I see Islam establishing itself in the West and it has imprinted powerful evolutions which little by little change the internal structure of the West. Laxity and the art of retreat are in place and have formed the minds of people to the point that we no longer even know whether a mortar shell in broad daylight in Paris is incivility, barbarism or jihadism. Europe is falling apart and is on a slope, absorbing blow by blow without being able to respond. But Europe would be too stupid not to understand that the weak have no future in the world to come and that globalization is not peace and prosperity for all as it naively believed, but a battleground between the strong.”
