The piece below by Andrea Widburg about the effects of mass Muslim migration on Europe is, I allow myself to believe, too gloomy. But it deserves to be read, one more attempt to help the Western world come to its senses, as it considers the effect so far of mass Muslim migration on the countries of Europe, and as their indigenous peoples consider what steps to take to preserve themselves from a threatened irreversible transformation. How can we expect Muslims to integrate into our countries when the Qur’an tells them that they are “the best of peoples,” while non-Muslims are “the most vile of created beings,” and are taught to believe that Islam is “to dominate and not be dominated”?
Widburg’s piece can be found here: “The Gates of Vienna have fallen,” by Andrea Widburg, The American Thinker, April 19, 2025:
…a hugely popular podcast entitled “The Coming British Civil War.” On it, David Betz, a King’s College, London, professor who is an expert on civil wars, opines that the UK is on the verge of a civil war….
The UK is not the only European nation that is being driven to the breaking point by the stresses that the ruling elites have placed upon their ancient cultures. The same is true in France, where the ruling class has conveniently decided to lock away Marine Le Pen, the one person who is currently standing athwart the French political system yelling “Stop.”
Meanwhile, in Germany, the AfD party, which opposes unlimited Muslim immigration, is being blackballed, blacklisted, and sidelined. European elites, just like America’s Democrats, believe that “democracy” applies only to votes for their people and policies….
As for me, I don’t think there’ll even be a scrambling guerrilla war in Europe. I say that for a few reasons:
1. The European masses have been enervated by socialism, which, unlike religion, is the true opiate of the people. They are so utterly dependent on the government that they cannot rebel against it. Indeed, if you look at the utter passivity / helplessness of ordinary Brits in the face of the mass Muslim rape of their children, you have a microcosm of what the once warlike Europeans have become.
2. What’s going on in Europe has lasted long enough that it is the young people’s normal. They have been brainwashed from the cradle to accept multiculturalism, sexual abnormalities, and open borders as good and inevitable things. While their parents may rebel, the last couple of generations, like good Nazi youth who turned their parents in to the Gestapo, think their parents are wrong and even dangerous. And keep in mind that, thanks to the war on families, the old European lineage is dying out anyway, as native-born women have stopped having children.
3. The Europeans are disarmed. Their government took their weapons away a long time ago. They’re barely allowed to have sporks. And while immigrants haven’t felt constrained by those laws and have maintained access to weapons, the native Europeans smugly handed over their weapons of self-defense, secure in their moral superiority.
4. The civil war, such as it might have been, is already over, and the enemy is already in country. The civil war was fought at the ballot box when leftists became more and more extreme, and the population, hooked on that good socialist opium, kept voting for them. Their numbers are declining, and their values are already broken.
The last gasp was when Angela Merkel opened Europe’s doors to Islam. The ordinary people, cowed and bullied, acquiesced. Indeed, in Germany, they felt that letting in Jew killers was their punishment for killing Jews. (The Germans have always had a twist to the psyches, hence the Holocaust in the first place.)
5. The Barbarians are already in the gate. (Not at the gate, but inside the gate.) Nothing more clearly illustrates this than what’s happened in Vienna. As European history buffs know, in 1683, forces from the Holy Roman Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth beat back the seemingly unbeatable Ottoman Empire, which was besieging Vienna from the East. Europe was saved from becoming one more of the Muslim conquests that began when Mohamed’s forces burst out of the Arabian desert a thousand years before….
Will all of Europe descend into civil war? Or will it be only in this country, or in that? Or will there be no open warfare but, rather, the death of a hundred thousand terrorist cuts, and the relentless demographic conquest from within, and an unstoppable stillicide of Muslim attacks on the indigenous peoples of Europe, too many of whom have given up having children, or are having very few, out of a lack of faith in the future?
In my hopeful moments, I think I see the signs of Europe coming to its senses, and willing not only to halt all further Muslim migration but also to find creative ways, through carrots and sticks artfully deployed, to cause a remigration of Muslims back to their countries of origin. I’m put in mind of Milton’s words in Areopagitica about a country — his own — waking from a deep sleep: “Methinks I see in my mind a noble and puissant nation rousing herself like a strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks.” There is still time, just.
Sounds a lot like the United States.
Except we haven’t been disarmed yet. So actually, other than several states like Minnesota and Wisconsin we are still in OK shape.

Two percent of the US revolted. Everyone else was too comfortable to get involved. Just like today. OTH it only takes a few to stand up. An example is an amazingly powerful thing.
“1. The European masses have been enervated by socialism,
2. What’s going on in Europe has lasted long enough that it is the young people’s normal.
3. The Europeans are disarmed.
4. The civil war, such as it might have been, is already over,
5. The Barbarians are already in the gate. ” …………Andrea Widberg.
The cliff notes version of a sad commentary. I hope it’s not true. WWII showed us, in Europe, it was only the Brits and a few French partisans who had a taste for war. And now even that has petered out. There was even a resistance movement in Eastern Europe but that got absorbed by the Communists. There is now some pushback against the Hajis there.
If Europe is lost it is just a matter of time before Muslims start defiling the war cemeteries, the great Cathedrals, and start a great pogrom against the native Euros.
So do we save them a third time? Not until we have cleaned out our country of the Muslim vermin. And then we would actually have to invade England and do the same. Let’s hope the Brits saved their Enfield rifles
Britain has few small arms and zero rifle factories now.
I should have been clearer, WWII Enfield rifles.
“The Germans have always had a twist to the psyches, hence the Holocaust…” ??? It took the unelected Nazi party a decade to indoctrinate impressionable youth. Over 2000 Germans were convicted of plotting against Hitler. How many similar German plots were undiscovered, thwarted by lack of opportunity, or remained only wishes and daydreams. And what of the many German resistance groups that were eliminated early on?
We don’t see what is happening, because the goal is long range.
I don’t believe there will be a war. Mostly likely, the native European population will simply fade away. One possible clash in years to come will be the Muslim majority battling the also significant Africa and Asian population for control of political power, business opportunities, choice real estate, social policy, etc. Both sides will have no time or patience to listen to the ever-diminishing white Europeans grumbling about how wonderful it was in the “old days”.
Stupid AZZ Merkel, the East German Communist finished up destroying Germany with her welcoming all of the moslem world. Way to go, Germany. Chase out your Jewish population beginning in 1933, kill six million of them, and then replace them with 12 million moslems. Sometimes I wonder why we even bothered to lose our soldiers in WW2. We save them from Hitler, defend the free part of them from the Soviet Union, and they give it all away to the moslems, and do it willingly. I used to respect Europe and Europeans, but I lost that respect about 15 years ago.
they have sold themselves to the devil. and now they bear the consequences. and this time we will not be coming to their rescue. its up to the people of Europe to call on the Lord and to find new Charles Martells and Joan of Arcs.
And the Useless Nations wont say a thing
It’s hard to think of europe as united enough for a “civil” war. What I would expect would be the polands, hungary’s, etc. to secede from the european union and either go it alone or join the US in another mechanism. European rule for them has been dismal.
I’d like to think that I’m wrong, too, but I believe in planning for the worst and hoping for the best! And thank you so much for the kind words.
“too many of whom have given up having children, or are having very few, out of a lack of faith in the future?”
Europe has abandoned its social, religious and cultural trust in God and in Jesus Christ and His non-negotiable laws. This is what made Europe what is known as Christiandom. Most of Europe has sold their heritage for pittance to Esau for a mess of pottage…the Muslims of Esau have bought it willingly, took advantage of the freedoms in Europe and intend to take it over, unless Europe again turns back to Jesus Christ.
