Peloni: This was an inevitable consequence of Europe’s decision to import a Jihadi Cleft into their midst. Europe is now occupied by a enormous contingent of Islamist colonizers who have no tolerance for dissenting voices. If Europe does not find their way to remedy this self owned error, the outlook for Europe is very disturbing.
And Jews are leaving.

Throughout Western Europe, the Muslim percentage of the population grows steadily, both from continued immigration and from much higher birth rates among Muslims than those exhibited by the indigenous non-Muslim population. There are now an estimated forty-four million Muslims in Europe, about 5% of the population. That number is expected to rise to 7.5% of the population — if nothing is done to halt Muslim immigration — by 2050. And growing antisemitism, which is encouraged and spread mainly by those Muslims migrants, is causing more Jews to think of leaving Europe for Israel or North America. More on this disturbing development can be found here: “Islam conquers Europe and Jews flee,” by Giulio Meotti, Israel National News, December 18, 2024:
…“Islam is advancing and I see in the West a desire to disappear,” Michel Houellebecq told the Italian daily Il Corriere della Sera.
In the Paris of the author of “Submission”, a dystopian novel that has become a daily chronicle, the famous philosopher Pierre Manent has just been reported to the judiciary, guilty of having said that “the number of Muslims in France cannot be allowed to grow at an indefinite rate. Secularism can more easily move a statue of Saint Michael than transform Islam. Failure to act could lead to a tragedy that no version of secularism will enable us to face”. The left-wing deputies have denounced him. “Incitement to hatred”. Article 40 of the penal code.
Pierre Manent’s statement is not one meant to incite hatred. His voice is, rather, a vox clamantis in deserto, a bleak Cassandra who sees, and fears, the ongoing Islamization of Europe. Without hate, but with foreboding. They are different things.
“Victims of antisemitism and Islamism, unite! The time of pogroms has returned, the Jews know it and have been saying it for a long time,” said the courageous Algerian writer Boualem Sansal.
Boualem Sansal is an Algerian novelist and essayist who deserves to be widely known outside the francophone world. He writes in French. In 2012, he was the recipient of the Editions Gallimard Arabic Novel prize for his book Rue Darwin. The prize is awarded by the Council of Arab Ambassadors in Paris. However, after the Council learned that Sansal had taken part in the Jerusalem Writers Festival earlier that year, they decided not to award him the prize money of 15,000 euros. Sansal fought back, describing that decision as “completely unacceptable.” Arab countries – and especially his own country of Algeria – he said had “locked themselves in a prison of intolerance.” France Culture radio director Olivier Poivre d’Avror, who headed the predominantly Arab jury that awarded the prize, resigned his post in protest, claiming that the prize money had been withdrawn as a “sordid” consequence of pressure from the terror group Hamas. D’Avror explained that “between being nominated for the prize and actually receiving it, Boualem Sansal visited Israel … Hamas immediately issued a statement calling his presence an act of treason against the Palestinians. The reaction of Arab Ambassadors Council was a direct result of this.”
Sansal has always maintained that he does not regret visiting Israel. “I am glad I visited Israel and returned with great happiness.” He also said that “Israelis have all the reasons in the world to be proud of what they have achieved in their country in such a short period of time…In so many fields, Israel is at the international forefront and it is very impressive.”
Sansal also said that he was moved by support he had received from Avigdor Lieberman, who as Israel’s Minister of Culture had denounced the Arab boycott of Sansal for having visited Israel. Sansal said of Lieberman: “His statement was so gracious in comparison to Arab governments. He told them: ‘You’re persecuting intellectuals. We embrace them and care for their safety. That is why your citizens are rebelling against you.’ That is a harsh blow to Arab governments.” And while he had nothing but praise for Lieberman and for Israel, Sansal criticized Hamas as well, saying that it was a terrorist movement that “has taken Gazans hostage. It has taken Islam hostage.”
It is Sansal, an Algerian born into Islam (but who I assume is no longer a believer), who is alarmed about a future Muslim takeover of Europe, and about the jihadism that is now spreading and poisoning the minds of young Muslims. If you won’t listen to such Infidels as Robert Spencer on the future of an ever-more-islamizing Europe, then for god’s sake listen to the former Muslim Boualem Sansal.
Mr. Fitzgerald, I would not take for granted that Mr. Sansal is no loger a Muslim believer. Actually there are some Muslims who are supporters of Israel, yet regard themselves as Muslim true believers. Many although by no means all members of the Sufi movement, for example, are sympathetic to Israel, at least in private. And some have publicly called for the Arab states to recognize Israel without preconditions, and to withdraw recognition of the PLO and the Ramallah and Gaza regimes. Some have even denounced the Palestinian “resistance” as terrorists. These pro-Israel Muslims exist, even if they are a small minority of the world’s Muslims. But Mr. Fitzgerald’s friend Bualem Sansal is hardly alone in his views in the mUslim world.
The “West” is committing suicide by thousand cuts with all the abortions, birth control and serious decrease in birth rate. Add to all this the cost of raising kids! Prohibitive. We are in the ABSURD! Albert Camus.
