Reasons of Hope for Europe

This is very likely to be the dumbest article I have ever written, but here goes. There are numerous articles and a cottage industry for books predicting the fall of Europe to Islam and renaming it Eurostan or Eurabia. For some reason, I have always found these dire scenarios to be void. I have had this feeling despite all the evidence pointing to the validity of the changing demographic in Europe; this will change at some point. The odd thing was that I could never quite put my finger in why I had this premonition that Europe would not become part of a Caliphate or fall under Islamic rule. This had begun to bother me, so much so that I started to have disturbing dreams looking for the answer. I know; I have strange dreams. What would you expect from somebody who authors a blog called Beyond the Cusp?

I guess, to fill out this article, I should list some of the thoughts that came to me and why they were tossed aside. The first was that there would be a definitive turn around in the birthrates of native Europeans and that would return a balance. I realized this was unlikely but would probably be another result after the Islamization of Europe had been halted. My dreams toyed with the idea that against all odds the Muslims began to integrate into Western society. Dreams can be funny things, can’t they? I even had a few dreams based on the rebirth of Christianity and the disillusionment with secularism. But all of these just did not ring true.

Finally, I had a pair of dreams about two nights apart that seemed to fir the answer perfectly. The first one the Muslims had risen up and had laid siege to Vienna. I bet many of you see what is coming next. Yep, the Polish sent their army to relieve the siege of Vienna. They do say history repeats itself. This dream ended with the eastern European nations, the ones from behind the old Iron Curtain, sweeping across Europe and reestablishing a Christian based Europe. A couple of nights later my dream was similar to the Poland scenario but with a twist. This time, after Muslim riots across the length and breadth of Europe, the Europeans rose up and did the one thing they have been expert at over the centuries, they went on a mass, grassroots killing spree. Well, you must grant me that Europe has done more than its share of this kind of thing. Anyway, what it boiled down to was that the Europeans decided it was better to fight than submit. They simply were not going to place their women in burkas and surely were not going to bang their heads against the ground repeatedly five times a day facing Mecca. Who knows, stranger things have happened.
