If Europe is anything, it’s multicultural and inclusive. It needs to be, if we wish to bring together people from Lissabon to the Urals. We ought to embrace our differences and draw from them new strength for the whole people that we are together, united by both shared history and so much more.
The author, however, seems to be exclusively interested in excluding folks, anyone who doesn’t fit their nebulous idea of “Judeo-Christian Heritage”. It’s terrifying indeed, that people like this would tear apart our beautifull european society, and split it along faith lines, for no reason but to fulfill their own desire to exclude those they view as other. Europes unity does and must come from our shared values and goals, not just for the muslim and hindu and atheist europeans, but also for the good of the whole of europe.
Kebap: yes or no?
Sorry, I don’t believe the globalists in Brussels are concerned about anyone’s identity. Maybe if they leave all people, including religious Muslims alone, there will be no threat of the so-called Islamism (most of the threats are manufactured false flags anyway).

I never understood what supposedly unites those two groups?
I apologize on behalf of the 83% of Americans who disapprove of the regurgitated French lunacy our academics adopted, transmogrified, and then unleashed on your continent. We have better exports, I swear (like Pop Tarts, Les Paul guitars, and spray cheese).
The mass immigration thing? That’s self-inflicted though, and the politeness and political consensus of a pacified Europe keeps you from naming and dealing with the painfully bloated white elephant in the room.
I honestly don’t know how it all ends, or even how to mitigate the damage without a consensus that assimilationist policies are a must. The US did so well for so long with immigration *because* of a pluralistic assimilationism. As we have moved towards balkanized multiculturalism, away from a common notion of what “America” means, outcomes have worsened and native attitudes hardened.
And one of the more depressing things is that to even broach the subject gets you lumped in with the actual bad faith actors (and they both exist and are plentiful), rather than someone who legitimately wants a good outcome for their nation, its people, and those who we allow into our borders.
What even is a continent’s identity supposed to be? What is a “cultural history” supposed to be? My history goes back to my birth and not further, and I myself am the only identity I’ll ever defend.
Either that or Western europe becomes a worse version of the United States which we like to make fun of.
Extraordinarily well written opinion piece, I didn’t think those could exist. Ms. Kanto raises a very good point here, we need a unifying cultural identity if the European Union is to survive into the next century.
Islam is not a threat to europe. Kleptocracy is.
Man these threads always turn into a shitshow.
Ah yes, Europe’s biggest threat: cancel culture.
This used to be a comical sentence, but apparently some people are saying this seriously now.
I think Europe don’t have this cancel culture, it’s only American thing.
Islamism is not only European problem, but worlds one. It seems like ideologists of Islamist push their countries & society to come back to, some sort of, middle age, and we Europe, successful countries of Middle East (Israel, Saudi Arabia, Emirates), US, India, Japan, and even China need to deal with together in a right way: to give them education, cultural things, for example to build Disneyland, start and fund “right” movie & cartoon companies, music bands, create market opportunities, but ban all weapon market, because no guns for them until they have people who want to kill for religion. They need to became people who realise that they have something important here, on Earth, that they don’t want to miss, so they wouldn’t want to die, and destroy, but to grow & protect.
