| Islam and Hard Choices: a small review of recent excitements in Europe and the UK |
| 2026-08-05 |
Some things we knew about, some I, at least, missed. [PJMedia] There's been no shortage of press lately chronicling Europe's slow-motion identity crisis with its Moslem populations, and buckle up, because it's a full continent's worth of material.Start with Spain, which is currently dealing with thousands storming the fences into Ceuta from Morocco — because nothing says "sovereign border" like a human wave crossing it in real time on camera. The UK, meanwhile, spent years pretending its grooming gang epidemic wasn't happening, because acknowledging it might have required admitting the multicultural fairy tale had a body count. La Belle France, not to be outdone, is now polling at 70% support for banning Islamic veils in public — and La Belle France doesn't do things by half measures, so don't be shocked if "considering" becomes "voting on" faster than Brussels can draft a strongly worded memo about it. They've already been closing mosques and dissolving organizations tied to extremism, which is French for "we tried tolerance, and tolerance did not go well." Austria's chewing over dissolving Islam-linked organizations of its own. Germany's playing it cautious—banning the loudest radical groups while pretending "keeping an eye on" the rest counts as a strategy. The Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden are all somewhere on that same spectrum, each nation quietly admitting what none of them wanted to say out loud a decade ago: the open-door experiment isn't going the way the brochure promised. Northern Ireland has also seen riots break out in Belfast. In Ireland as a whole, my research shows at least 10 attacks on churches across the island have also been documented in the same period—arsons in Westmeath, at Tinure, and vandalism at St. Augustine's in Drogheda in the Republic, plus six attacks on churches or chapels in Northern Ireland between April 2025 and March 2026. |
