SOCIETAL TIME BOMB: ISLAMISM IN EUROPE

Posted on by

German police study finds 45 percent of Muslims aged under 40 hold Islamist views. Germany, it turns out, is not alone. A separate study in France by the respected polling service Ifop found 44 per cent of Muslims say the rules of Islam are more important than French law. Among those aged 15–24, the number climbs to 57 per cent. Even more striking, 38 per cent of French Muslims express support for Islamist positions, double the level recorded in 1998.

Europeans were assured that mass migration required only patience, a few diversity workshops, and perhaps a taxpayer-funded hummus festival in order to be successful. They were lied to.

A newly released study by Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has delivered what officials are politely calling an “explosive” finding: Nearly half of Muslims under the age of 40 in Germany hold Islamist views. Not a small fringe. Not a handful of radicals in the shadows. Half. According to the 598-page Motra Monitor report, 45.1 per cent of Muslims under 40 hold either “latent or manifestly Islamist attitudes.”

In plain English, that means many express sympathy for Islamist ideology, prefer Sharia law over Germany’s constitution, and harbour anti-Semitic prejudices. Politicians that repeatedly said… “diversity is our strength” are now having a rethink.

Alarm Bells

Even some German politicians appear to have noticed the problem. Wolfgang Kubicki of the Free Democrats looked at the numbers and suggested they should “set off all the alarm bells,” describing the situation as a “societal time bomb”. He added that Germany must stop “naively looking away,” a refreshing statement given that naively looking away has been government policy for roughly 20 years.

Kubicki went further, pointing out the rather obvious truth that anyone demanding a caliphate is an enemy of democracy, and suggesting that non-citizens advocating such ideas should be deported. Which, if you think about it, is a fairly modest proposal: if you openly oppose the constitutional order of the country hosting you, perhaps you shouldn’t live there. Radical stuff.

The study’s authors say the most worrying demographic is precisely the one Europe was assured would be the most integrated: young Muslims under 40.

Islamism researcher Prof. Susanne Schröter said these attitudes typically involved believing Islamist interpretations of Islam were correct, supporting groups aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood, preferring Sharia to Germany’s Basic Law, and — somewhat predictably — holding anti-Jewish views.

Researchers also noted a spike in radicalisation following the October 7 Hamas attacks in 2023, which triggered demonstrations across Europe where young Muslims and far-left activists united in the timeless political tradition of shouting about Israel and occasionally smashing things.

At the same time, Christianity in France — once the cultural backbone of the country — continues its rapid collapse.

So to summarise Europe’s grand social experiment: Christianity is being diluted and disappearing. Islam is being radicalised and growing. The political class insist everything is fine.

We know we are fast approaching the return of Jesus. Why? Because there are 2000 prophecies of Jesus return and what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth; Jesus Millennial Kingdom. The nation Israel is central to end times prophecies and it did not exist prior to 1948. Israel being reborn in one day is therefore the prime end times prophecy and proof the Bible is God’s word. The rest of Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our day. Another big one is apostasy, a great falling away in the church.

Core End-Times Apostasy Passages (NKJV)

Matthew 24:10-12 (Jesus’ Olivet Discourse on end-times signs; many will fall away amid false prophets and lawlessness): “And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.”

2 Thessalonians 2:3 (the classic “great falling away” or “great apostasy” verse, directly stating it must precede the Day of the Lord): “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition…” (Context: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 describes this as a prerequisite event before the revelation of the Antichrist and final judgment.)

1 Timothy 4:1-3 (the Holy Spirit explicitly warns of departure from the faith in “latter times”): “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.“

2 Timothy 4:3-4 (in the last days, people will reject sound doctrine for teachers who affirm their desires): “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”

2 Timothy 3:1-5 (perilous times in the “last days,” with a form of godliness but denying its power—characteristic of institutional/church apostasy): “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

GERMANY FAILED TO ACHIEVE CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION WITHOUT NUCLEAR

Posted on by

Germany was already reducing its greenhouse gas emissions before 2011, so it came as a surprise when Merkel announced that her government would “end the use of emissions-free nuclear energy and reach the age of renewable energy as fast as possible.” The Energiewende’s goal of reducing emissions 80 to 95 percent by 2050 was ambitious, but it was the prospect of achieving this goal without nuclear energy that truly turned heads. By shuttering nuclear plants and scaling wind and solar, Merkel made a poor bet that a green economy could run on wind and sunshine alone. 

After a swath of decrees and guidelines, as well as tens of billions of euros in subsidies for, and investment in, renewable projects, Merkel boasted about creating hundreds of thousands of green-collar jobs. Many Germans embraced this vision for the future, taking pride in their nation’s turn toward an economy powered by nature. Yet it quickly became apparent that while the Energiewende plan offered vision, it lacked sound strategy. 

Bureaucracy slowed the construction of necessary infrastructure for storing and transporting new renewable forms of energy. And suddenly Dunkelflaute—a term used to describe periods of low energy production when the sun failed to shine or the wind didn’t blow—entered the German vernacular. By 2019, the Federal Court of Auditors declared that the 160 billion euros ($180 billion) spent over the last five years were “in extreme disproportion to the results.”

By the tenth anniversary of the Energiewende, the scope of the project’s failure became clear. The year before, German leaders had celebrated renewables reaching 46.2 percent of national electricity consumption due to favorable weather conditions and lower demand. But in 2021, this trend reversed. During the COVID economic bounce back, energy demand exploded while wind power production decreased by 25 percent—leaving coal and natural gas generation to fill in the gaps. 

German households have the highest electricity prices in the world, but many Germans are still committed to their utopian vision. Last fall, voters pushed out Merkel’s center-right Christian Democrats in favor of a coalition led by the center-left Social Democrats. This wasn’t a refutation of the Energiewende though, since it appears that Chancellor Olaf Scholz will double down as he has expressed interest in being known as the “climate chancellor” and supports policies including an EU-wide carbon price.

The Energiewende has consequences beyond German borders too. The country can’t meet its energy needs with domestic wind, solar, and coal production. So Germans are eagerly awaiting the completion of Nord Stream 2, a pipeline that will deliver natural gas from Russia. It will pump fossil fuel into Germany while lining the pockets of Russian oligarchs with cash. Those excommunicated nuclear plants would have provided emissions-free energy without any reliance on Russia. 

Meanwhile in Brussels, Germany’s new Economy and Climate Protection Minister Robert Habeck wants to force the Energiewende plan on the rest of Europe. He recently rejected the European Commission’s plan to label nuclear energy “green,” saying the move “waters down the good label for sustainability.” As long as Germany is miscategorized as the global climate leader, other nations will follow its mindless model including Australia.

The European Union’s REPowerEU Plan, initiated in May 2022, has put nuclear energy at the forefront of its strategy to secure energy and achieve climate goals. France continues investing heavily in nuclear power, whereas Germany has moved away from it.
