#1 Well, that makes me feel a little better.

What this guy says is basically what I've been thinking for a long time, but I'm American, and lived in only one European country for a few years over 30 years ago, so I didn't feel qualified to say this, since I didn't have the breadth of experience to really know about the people and governments of multiple countries.

Europeans blather on and on about how worldly they are, but they in fact are extremely insular, self-centered, and selfish.

But they will, in the end, fight for their "way of life," lazy and self-centered though it may be. Dunno if they'll win, since most of them aren't allowed to own guns - something that doesn't apply to the moslems ringing their cities.

We definitely live in interesting times.

#2 Or, us Yanks or our grand kids will be in Eurabia 60-70 yrs from now un-f8cking them or liberating them during WWIII or IV.

#4 Atlas Shrugged is a very good writer (and quite pretty based on her latest podcast).

However, this is only a personal opinion. And there is little to show her opinion is informed by deep knowledge of Euro society.

On the other hand, its not clear why it is important. If the Euros are going dhimmi does it really matter what component of their culture is contributing what to the disaster.

Maybe. But I'm not so sanguine, as I neither think there will be a majority of them to fight back, nor that they will resist the gradual infiltration of legal structures which Islamacists will use against them. Hell, even the UK hasn't resisted that - and has tied its own hand via its membership in the EU in ways that make resistance already difficult.

#6 Laws are only worthwhile when someone enforces them. We've seen that on illegal immigration in the US. If the people in Europe rise up enmass against Islam, there will be no one alive/around to enforce the silly EU laws.
