In a March 7, 2017 story by Dan Bilefsky, headlined \u201cHungary Approves Detention of Asylum Seekers in Guarded Camps,\u201d the New York Times<\/em> reported that \u201cEurope\u2019s simmering backlash against immigration came into sharp relief on Tuesday when the Hungarian Parliament approved the detention of asylum seekers in guarded and enclosed camps on the country\u2019s southern border, in what human rights advocates called a reckless breach of international law.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Times<\/em>, \u201cPrime Minister Viktor Orban<\/a> justified the measure on the grounds that it would secure the European Union\u2019s borders from migrants and act as a powerful deterrent against migration, which he called the \u2018Trojan horse of terrorism.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister is quoted as saying, \u201cWe are under siege. The flood of migration has slowed down but has not stopped. \u00a0Laws apply to everyone. \u00a0This includes those migrants who want to cross Hungary\u2019s border illegally. \u00a0This is the reality, which cannot be overruled by charming human rights nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it is \u201ccharming human rights nonsense\u201d that now informs immigration policy on the political left in the United States, just as it has in most Western European nations. While liberals and Democrats oppose any and all limitations on immigration from majority Muslim countries\u2026 in the apparent hope that American Muslims will repay the favor by becoming a reliable Democratic voting bloc\u2026 even they express concern over the potential for isolated terror attacks in the near term.\u00a0 What apparently escapes their attention is the clearly stated long term goal of Muslim migration: the complete domination of Islam over all the nations of the world.<\/p>\n

In his first speech before a joint session of Congress on February 28, President Trump paused, gazed directly into the camera, and carefully enunciated words that Barack Obama famously refused to utter. He said, \u201cOur obligation is to serve, protect, <\/em>and defend<\/em> the citizens of the United States\u2026 We are also taking strong measures to protect our nation from radical<\/em> Islamic terrorism<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, as appealing and as essential as that resolve might be, by focusing only on the unspeakable atrocities of radical<\/em> Islamists, we run the risk of overlooking or downplaying what is an even more deadly and more pervasive long term threat: the danger of what Hungarian Prime Minister Orban referred to as the \u201cTrojan horse of terrorism,\u201d the unfettered flow of Muslim migrants and refugees across international frontiers into the Western world.<\/p>\n

In his book, Slavery, Terrorism, and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat, <\/em>Dr. Peter Hammond explains something that every Christian, every Jew, and every other non-Muslim on the face of the Earth must understand\u2026 which is that Islam does not qualify as a religion in the normally accepted sense of the word.\u00a0 Instead, as a complete legal, political, economic, social, and military system with a religious component, the West\u2019s dangerous flirtation with multiculturalism can only be described as \u201ccharming human rights nonsense.\u201d\u00a0 And while most non-Muslims worry about the possibility of being murdered in an isolated \u201clone wolf\u201d terror attack, they all but ignore the long term implications of Muslim expansionism. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Dr. Hammond explains the process of \u201cstealth jihadism<\/em>\u201d carried out by muhajirs<\/em>, or Muslim immigrants.\u00a0 He tells us that \u201cIslamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. \u00a0When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his May 8, 2015 treatise, titled, Islam, Interreligious Dialogue, and Evangelization,<\/em> Andre Villeneuve, Ph.D. of Saint John Vianney Seminary, describes the ecumenical schizophrenia displayed by the Catholic Church in their approach to Islam in just the past two decades.\u00a0 He quotes Pope Benedict XVI in his Regensburg Lecture<\/em> of September 12, 2006.\u00a0 Benedict quoted the 14th<\/sup> century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus, who said, \u201cShow me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Villeneuve goes on to describe a contrary view held by the current prelate, Pope Francis. He writes, \u201cAfter praising the commitment to prayer, faith, devotion, and ethical values of many Muslims, (Pope) Francis encourages Christians to adopt a welcoming<\/em> attitude towards the increasing number of Muslim immigrants in traditionally Christian countries, while asking for a reciprocal freedom of worship for Christians living in Muslim countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reciprocal freedom of worship? It is, at best, a naive pipedream.\u00a0 While a few majority Muslim nations have tolerated Christian congregations in their midst, many of those Christians are now victims of genocide.\u00a0 To expect that those attitudes will ever change is worse than na\u00efve\u2026 it is dangerous and it is suicidal.<\/p>\n

Christians are taught from early childhood to heed the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:39. In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, \u201cBut I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.\u201d\u00a0 As the leader of the world\u2019s 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, Pope Francis is obliged to instruct his flock to \u201cturn the other cheek.\u201d\u00a0 However, while that counter-intuitive advice may be valuable to me in a one-on-one relationship with my next door neighbor or a co-worker, just how far does it go? In other words, how are we to react when all of western civilization hangs in the balance?<\/p>\n

On September 3, 2011, Swiss parliamentarian Oskar Freysinger, of the Christian Democratic People\u2019s Party addressed some very important thoughts to a Berlin audience… thoughts that the American people would do well to hear and heed in 2017. He said, in part, \u201cMy dear Berlin friends, I come to you today as a neighbor and as a concerned friend…\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to the rules imposed on non-Muslims living in majority Muslim nations, Freysinger said, \u201cThe dhimmi<\/em> attitude of Europeans sustained a wound which must not heal over if the millennia-old European civilization is to survive, for Europe is more than a plot of land, more than a continent, more than the sum of its countries.\u00a0 Europe is an idea, a cultural landscape, an intellectual space shaped by history.\u00a0 Europe is the cradle of the modern constitutional state, the treasure house of human rights, of freedom of opinion and expression.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is ever more strongly endangered by the possibility that our political elite will bend their necks before (an Islamic) religious dogma that is alien to our intellectual history, our values, and our constitutional state. This dogma is gnawing away at the pillars of our system of laws, wherever it is allowed some space.\u00a0 This dogma demands total obedience from its followers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are in no case to integrate into our value system. That would be like treason and can even be punished with death.\u00a0 They are expected to conquer our intellectual home, make the Western world subject.\u00a0 Not with tanks, rockets, or riflemen.\u00a0 Not through brutal revolution.\u00a0 No, Islam is in no hurry.\u00a0 It has an eternity.\u00a0 A long process of softening up and leisurely occupation of our child-poor society is foreseen.\u00a0 The Islamic doctrine is expected to gradually creep into everyday life and Fortress Europe will crumble from within.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what are we doing? We are allowing this violent doctrine, unhindered in cultural ghettos, to strain at toppling the nation of laws…\u00a0 When women are beaten and whole city districts are taken over, we look the other way.\u00a0 We believe we can soften the power hunger of the holy warriors with welfare money.\u00a0 We believe we can buy peace! What lunacy!\u00a0 No one fingers the Prophet\u2019s beard.\u00a0 Fanatics cannot be bought.\u00a0 Germany should know that better than any country in the world…\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded by saying, \u201cIf we lose this battle there will be no second chance, for Islam does not give back what it has conquered. So I summon all the humanists of this continent not to keep their heads in the sand and to resist the Islamic dogma\u2019s drive to conquest.\u00a0 Let us stand together and uncompromisingly insist upon the primacy of our civil law over any religious dogma.\u00a0 Let us find our way back to our precious intellectual heritage.\u00a0 Islam is only as strong as we are weak\u201d<\/p>\n

It is estimated that, by the end of this century, in the absence of some unforeseen divine intervention, Muslims will exceed 50 percent of the world\u2019s population.\u00a0 But long before that time, it is reasonable to assume that most of 21st<\/sup> century Western civilization will have become unraveled and our descendants will find themselves facing a squalid 7th<\/sup> century lifestyle. As Prime Minister Orban so aptly describes it, the current level of Muslim immigration into the West can best be described as the \u201cTrojan horse of terrorism.\u201d\u00a0 Left unfettered, it can have no good end.\u00a0 As matters now stand, we cannot assume that the Europe we have known and loved for many centuries, and from which our forbears emerged, will continue to exist beyond ten or twenty more years.<\/p>\n

While Europe may be the \u201ccradle of the modern constitutional state, the treasure house of human rights, of freedom of opinion and expression,\u201d the United States is the laboratory in which those concepts were tested and proven. That fact, alone, gives Islamists all the justification they need to see us wiped from the face of the Earth.\u00a0 There is far too much at stake to be gambled away in some \u201ccharming human rights\u201d experiment, in a contest we cannot win.\u00a0 And if we are so unwise as to invite the forces of Islam to coexist with us, on our own soil, then we too, like Europe, will crumble from within.<\/p>\n
