How sad, this new Europe! Europe is falling apart and is on a slope, absorbing blow by blow without being able to respond
by Giulio Meotti
Midday on a mild, almost hot Monday in mid-December, and the muezzins of West London were chanting the glory of Allah and how there was no other God…”. Thus opens “1985”, the prophetic novel by Anthony Burgess, the author of “A Clockwork Orange”. He wrote it in 1978 and it looks like the portrait of Europe in 2023…
The Islamic call to prayer (Adhan) is now resounding in Stockholm, reports Samnytt news. The Adhan was recorded in the capital. In Sweden, three mosques have received permission from the authorities to use loudspeakers to broadcast prayers in Botkyrka, Karlskrona and Växjö. But no permits for Muslim prayer calls have been issued in Stockholm. Despite this, Swedes in the capital have repeatedly witnessed the Adhan being imposed on non-Muslims.
Sweden had 8 percent Muslims in 2016. In 2050 it will have 11 percent Muslims if immigration stops completely, 21 percent if it remains “normal”, 31 percent if it continues at the same pace of the last years. And further on? According to an aacademic analysis by Professor Kyösti Tarvainen, in just over a generation Muslims will be the majority in Sweden.
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 there are more atheists than in Sweden. David Thurfjell in a book called it “Det Gudlösa Folket”. The 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.
No more.
In a conversation this week lwith the Tribune Juive, the Algerian writer Boualem Sansal, author of the great 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 alnd prosperity for all as it naively believed, but a battleground between the strong”.
And a clash of religions.
How can you not feel a certain shiver reading an investigation by the Belgian newspaper La Libre last week? “Out of 97 parishes in the Brussels Region, there are only 12 priests under the age of 60”. 36 out of 110 churches in Brussels are set to close in the face of declining numbers of faithful. “Even the basilica of Koekelberg (Sacred Heart) is today affected by the absence of a priest”.
This week’s RTL informs us: “Only one in 40 Belgians attends a church – or 2.5 percent of the population – compared to one in two in the 1960s. The average age in churches is (very) high, a marriage out of 10, three out of 10 baptisms and four out of ten burials are Catholic, most of the churches risk closing and some buildings have already been transformed into hotels, cultural centres, shops or discotheques. Is this the end of Catholics?”.
Then you have to read another Belgian journalistic investigation of magazine Le Vif: “Of the 65 mosques in Brussels, according to the Belgian Muslim Executive, 10 are large enough to regularly accommodate 1,000 people. They are financed by the faithful, foreign states (the Turkish Diyanet, the Saudi Islamic World League), Middle Eastern foundations or private individuals, but also parareligious activities that generate considerable income. In some large Brussels mosques, collections for the construction of a new mosque have been able to bring in up to 150,000 euros during the Ramadan period”.
One day the future masters of Belgium will change the name of dozens of cities, Berchem-Sainte-Agathe, Saint-Gilles, Saint-Josse, Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Jette-Saint-Pierre, Saint-Job and the underground stations (Sainte -Catherine, Saint-Guidon).
Anthony Burgess was a real writer and he saw a weakened West. “The church I attended as a child in Manchester has since been deconsecrated” Burgess said in 1991. “Now it is a mosque. I am not a philosopher, I am not a priest. What does the Pope say? He says nothing. Not a word on the demographic problem. Perhaps the weakness of the West is the death of Christianity or perhaps the death of liberalism: I don’t know”.
How sad, this new Europe!
Swiss man evicted to make room for refugees despite living in home for 15 years
A Swiss man living in social housing in the village of Seegräben has been ordered to vacate his apartment in order to make way for asylum seekers.
The 47-year-old man received a letter from local authorities explaining they had been unable to find any alternative accommodation for the newcomers and were obliged to house a certain number of asylum seekers in line with national refugee quotas.
As such, the man is now expected to vacate the apartment he has lived in for over 15 years and find alternative housing in just three months.
The unnamed 47-year-old handed the letter he had received from the local authorities to the Swiss newspaper, 20 Minutes, which read:
As explained in today’s personal conversation, you will receive the notice of termination of the tenancy of the 5.5-room apartment as of May 31, 2023. As seem on the official form attached the municipality of Seegräben is obliged to take in and house asylum seekers and refugees.
Due to the high migration numbers, the municipalities were instructed by the canton to provide living space in order to be able to accommodate additional people seeking protection. Despite an intensive search in recent weeks, no suitable apartments can currently be found on the open market. The very scarce housing supply in our community has therefore persuaded the municipal council to seize the community-owned apartment for this purpose in the future.
We regret that we could not find another solution and hope that you will find a new one quickly. if you find a new apartment before the end of the notice period, you can end the tenancy earlier on any month-end.
We hope that despite the unpleasant situation you are in, the rental agreement can be concluded with mutual respect and decency.
Speaking to Swiss media, the resident said: “I am incredibly sad. I have lived here for over 15 years. My children grew up in this apartment.”
He explained that he “would never have expected” to be ousted from his home to make way for refugees.
“I am scared. I don’t think that in the next three months I will find another affordable accommodation in the region that can accommodate myself, my children who visit me every two weeks, and my pets,” he added.
The local mayor, Marco Pezzatti, was questioned about the incident by Swiss broadcaster SRF and insisted the move was in order to comply with clear federal regulations. He explained the village was required to accommodate a number of asylum seekers equal to 0.9 percent of its community.
“In our community, that’s about 13 people,” he told the broadcaster, adding that to date only nine refugees had been found homes in the area.
“We placed numerous advertisements, wrote to private real estate companies and spoke to private individuals,” Pezzatti explained, but they were unable to secure alternative accommodation, which led to the eviction notice. “We very much regret this step,” he added.
The case mirrors a similar approach taken in neighboring Germany earlier this month, where residents in the town of Lörrach received similar notices, as their apartments are “particularly suitable” for Ukrainian refugees.
“This letter, for me, it’s an early death notice,” said 78-year-old Lorrach resident Klaus Kichling, who is already facing serious health issues after a recent stroke.
UK: University of Kent Deprecates Singular Pronouns
The University of Kent has issued a major update to the Newspeak Dictionary. Out of deference to the sexually deranged, singular pronouns are no longer to be used by default:
A university has sparked a language row for advising students and staff to call everyone ‘they’ until their preferred pronouns are confirmed.
The University of Kent offers the guidance on pronouns to its students and staff, saying it will help them create an ‘authentic culture of inclusion’ at the institution.…
The university suggests staff and students state their pronouns when they introduce themselves to others for the first time in meetings.
Because all human interactions should center on pandering to the psychotic transsexual agenda.
They started by declaring anodyne terms like “Negro” and “squaw” to be racial slurs and banning them. Already they have progressed to banning pronouns. Even the word “the” is subject to restriction. If we don’t start pushing back, moonbats will soon reduce us to communicating exclusively through their favored vocabulary, four-letter words.

Italy: Girl, 16, beaten by Muslim father after posting video without veil
A 16-year-old Egyptian-Italian girl was beaten by her Egyptian father and hospitalized in Brescia Sunday night after posting a video without her veil on TikTok, the Giornale di Brescia newspaper reported Monday. The father was irked after relatives in Egypt saw the video and told him about it, according to the report. He slapped his daughter and punched her in the back, the Giornale di Brescia said. The girl managed to message a friend who called emergency services. She was taken first to hospital and then to a shelter. The father has been placed under investigation on suspicion of domestic violence.
UK: Chilling video captures moments before criminal who was saved from deportation following high-profile campaign by Labour and luvvies murders man in horrific knife fight
A Jamaican criminal who avoided deportation following legal challenges backed by Labour MPs and a host of celebrities went on to commit murder, the Daily Mail can reveal.
Ernesto Elliott was due to be aboard a Home Office charter flight in December 2020, but dodged efforts to remove him thanks to last-minute human rights appeals.
But in June 2021 – six months after he was supposed to have been removed from Britain – Elliott murdered a 35-year-old man in a horrific knife fight.
Elliott was last month jailed for at least 26 years for murder, it can be disclosed today.
Onlookers who witnessed the bloody, eight-minute confrontation suffered ‘significant trauma’, police said.
It was a crime that would never have taken place if Elliott, 45, had been sent back to his birth country.
Last night Priti Patel, who oversaw the attempt to remove Elliott when she was in charge of the Home Office, said the case showed why it was crucial to defy ‘do-gooders’ who try to block deportations.
Elliott was due to be on the chartered Boeing 757 on December 2, 2020, after being convicted of knife crime, police sources said. But he and 22 other serious criminals submitted last-minute appeals – including human rights claims – which led to them avoiding deportation to Jamaica.
The 23 criminals had been sentenced to a combined 156 years in jail. Their appeals came just days after 60 celebrities, authors and other public figures signed an open letter opposing the flight.
They included supermodel Naomi Campbell, Line Of Duty star Thandiwe Newton, James Bond actress Naomie Harris and historian David Olusoga. A host of Labour MPs also added their signatures.
Opposition MPs even compared the deportation flight to the Windrush scandal, even though the Caribbean migrants who suffered awful injustice in that episode had committed no crimes.
On June 2, 2021, Elliott was involved in the vicious knife fight in broad daylight in Greenwich, south-east London.
Alongside his son Nico, 23, Elliott robbed and murdered 35-year-old Nathaniel Eyewu-Ago in a row over drugs.
The horrifying incident was videoed by shocked neighbours. It shows Elliott, his son and another man repeatedly lunging with long-bladed knives and a hammer at the victim, who was armed with a machete.
Mr Eyewu-Ago collapsed after being stabbed through the heart and died in hospital six days later.
After a trial at the Old Bailey last month, Elliott, from Walthamstow, east London, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 26 years and a concurrent sentence of 12 years for robbery. Keeping him in jail will cost the taxpayer more than £1.3million at current rates.
His son was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 22 years and a concurrent sentence of ten years for robbery.
Detective Chief Inspector Kate Kieran said the father and son were ‘prepared to use any form of violence necessary to protect their stolen property’ after robbing the victim of drugs and cash.
She added that the crime had ‘caused significant trauma to innocent members of the public who witnessed it’.
Former home secretary Ms Patel said: ‘This case is exactly why we must continue to defy the protestations from the Labour Party, the do-gooding celebrities and immigration lawyers and remove convicted foreign criminals, rapists, murders, child abusers and drug dealers who have no right to be in this country.’
After rosary prayer groups are criticized by left-liberal media, Croatian bishop says, ‘The rosary is the strength of the nation’
Bishop Jure Bogdan, the military ordinariate in Croatia, called men praying the rosary on the streets of Croatian cities “a sign of the times.” Referring to the initiative that Croatian believers took from Poles, the bishop recalled the time of the 1990s war for Croatia’s independence.
“Then, we prayed the rosary of the Blessed Mother in families, churches, sanctuaries, on squares, secretly and publicly. The rosary of the Blessed Mother became a symbol of the spiritual strength, unity, and community of our nation,” the bishop said. He further emphasized the importance of contributing to unity and praying for the unity of the nation.
During the war for Croatia’s independence, the rosary prayer had a special meaning. When Croatia fought for independence with an enemy several times more powerful, the rosary was very important to us Croats. Most veterans, even those who were not believers, wore it around their necks. Even today, when Croatian soldiers go on pilgrimage to Lourdes, they have a rosary on their uniform lapel.
Bishop Juraj Jezerinac, the military ordinariate during the war, noted that he distributed about 700,000 rosaries to people at that time.
What does Bishop Bogdan’s speech tell us today?
It is the first positive public comment by a Croatian bishop on men publicly praying the rosary on the streets. Bishop Bogdan’s speech is very important because it is happening at a time when left-liberal media are ridiculing and attacking the prayer meetings that regularly take place on the first Saturdays of the month in several cities in the country.
As I have already mentioned, this spiritual initiative brought together believers from Poland and Croatia. It should be noted that Croatian Catholics began to pray under the influence of Poles. Recently, members of the Polish community, the Warriors of Mary, co-hosted one such meeting in Split. The Croats, on the other hand, visited the general assembly of this community, which took place recently in Płock.
Considering the history and many other valuable initiatives between Poland and Croatia, one popular saying could be paraphrased to: “Pole and Croat, brothers be.”
Sweden confirms terrorist activity against Turkey
Sweden wants to join NATO, but Turkey opposes it. Ankara accuses the country of not taking decisive action against terrorist groups. The Swedish secret service Säpo, has now confirmed terrorist activities against Turkey.
According to the Swedish secret service, the banned Kurdish Workers’ Party PKK supports terrorist activities. “It can be about the request for and recruitment for acts of terrorism and terrorist financing,” said Susanne Trehörning, the deputy chief of counter-terrorism at the Säpo secret service. She thus confirmed Turkey’s allegations against NATO candidate Sweden.
“I won’t give exact amounts, but they are significant amounts,” said Trehörning. In early February, a man was arrested in Sweden for allegedly attempting to finance terrorism by the PKK. However, the top official emphasized that the PKK does not pose a direct risk of an attack.
Turkey does not agree to Sweden and Finland joining NATO
In May 2022, Sweden and Finland applied to join NATO. All member countries must agree to this proposal. However, Turkey has so far refused to clear the way for the Nordic countries to join NATO by ratifying the so-called accession protocols. Ankara accuses Sweden of not taking decisive action against people and groups that Turkey classifies as terrorists. This includes the PKK, which is also on the terror list in the EU.

India: Muslim girl’s family attacks boyfriend with knife, her stepdad had bad intentions towards his own daughter
On October 5, a bizarre case was reported from Moradabad district, UP. A Muslim girl’s family invited her boyfriend to their home, ostensibly to talk about the couple’s nikah. But in reality, the family was opposed to the relation and their aim was to murder the boy. When the young man reached their house in Jayantipur, the girl’s family members suddenly attacked him with a knife.
When the girl protested against the attack, her maternal uncles Wasim, Imran and others beat her up too and locked her in the room. Badly injured in the knife attack, the young man somehow escaped and reached the Moradabad SSP’s office in a blood-soaked condition.
The injured youth Sahil said that he was in a relationship with the girl from Jayantipur for one and a half years and both want to get married. He also stated that after the death of the girl’s father, her mother remarried two months back. Her step-father had bad intentions towards the girl, and was thus opposed to her relation with Sahil.
Sahil told that on the insistence of the girl, her family called him to their house in Jayantipur area on the pretext of discussing their marriage. However, upon reaching there, the girl’s family attacked him brutally.
This is not the first time that a girl has faced sexual exploitation from a Muslim father/step-father. In a shocking case from Erode, TN that went virtually unnoticed, a Hindu girl was repeatedly raped by her Muslim step-father once she hit puberty at age 12, and she was even forced to sell embryos. In Chennai, a girl adopted by a Muslim family when she was a baby was raped repeatedly by her foster father and his 3 sons for 2 years once she hit puberty at age 15.
An inter-faith couple (Hindu woman – Muslim man) in Lucknow, UP who decided to adopt Hindu Dharma after facing years of harassment from the husband’s family, revealed the horrors the wife (who had converted from Hinduism to Islam for the marriage) faced. The husband’s family used to say that if a Muslim man marries a Hindu female or has any kind of sexual ‘relationship’ with her, he will receive the sawab(spiritual benefit) equivalent to performing Haj (Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca). Her Muslim father-in-law and brother-in-law tried to rape her to derive this sawab; and they even threatened to rape the couple’s 12-year-old daughter.
In Norway, a Muslim father raped his daughter as ‘punishment’ because she had become ‘too Westernised’.
