As the Lights go out, slowly, in Europe...

We see that some there are beginning to wake up to the chaos they have created, by dint of their social activism, over the last generation.
We should fear Holland’s silence
Holland — with its disproportionately high Muslim population — is the canary in the mine. Its once open society is closing, and Europe is closing slowly behind it. It looks, from Holland, like the twilight of liberalism — not the “liberalism” that is actually libertarianism, but the liberalism that is freedom. Not least freedom of expression.

All across Europe, debate on Islam is being stopped. Italy’s greatest living writer, Oriana Fallaci, soon comes up for trial in her home country, and in Britain the government seems intent on pushing through laws that would make truths about Islam and the conduct of its followers impossible to voice.
....
Europe is shuffling into darkness. It is proving incapable of standing up to its enemies, and in an effort to accommodate the peripheral rights of a minority is failing to protect the most basic rights of its own people.

The governments of Europe have been tricked into believing that criticism of a belief is the same thing as criticism of a race. And so it is becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous to criticise a growing and powerful ideology within our midst. It may soon, in addition, be made illegal.
...
As I left the Netherlands I once again felt terrible sorrow for a country that is slowly being lost. A society which should be carefree and inspiring has become dark and worried. The jihad in Europe is winning. And Holland, and our continent, takes one step further into a dark and menacing future.


It is the Liberals who have done this... and the Liberals who will cave in to self-muting, by way of fear. Sure, there are many in the 'progressive' camps who will finally stand up and fight the fascism of the Imams. But they will arrive at the party, late. Probably because they want to get all the use they can out of their "Hate-Speech" picket signs directed at their own governments.

How much blood will flow from their naive puristic idealism? We dont know.. but it definitely will be of 'biblical proportions'. And all we have to do is steel ourselves and read Revelations to see it coming.
