So Atlantic magazine was famously right. Islam is finally unravelling the European continent.....again.
Atlantic Magazine wrote about all this in an article last year. Islam decimated classical Europe that regarded the Mediterranean sea as "Mare Nostrum (our sea)." Islam swept through Southern half of Mediterranean sea and European civilisation south of 'their sea' was rendered extinct by the powerful forces of Islam. One famous European historian and Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset wrote "[Since the dawn of Islam] all European history has been a great emigration towards the North.”....And Atlantic article talks about how the global forces of Islam--driven by immigration, conflict, strict adherence to their own civilization/culture--- now have crossed the Mediterranean "barrier" and Islam is unravelling the European continent within itself even
North of Mediterranean
Dumb young nuts or right wing idiots/idealists like
@Vergennes @flamer84 @ValerioAurelius (MarkusS) etc might feel "happy" that Europe is "finally waking up"---but they don't realize that European continent is going through what looks like a massive unravelling of the existing order. With loony tunes like Geert Wilders, Le Pen etc gaining power, populations aging, models of European cooperation and unity falling apart, and Europeans going towards right and tribalism in the face of Islam's assertive presence amongst them--- and all of it is happening with an extremely aging populations with median age over 45(!!), declining worker-to-retiree ratio, miserable birth rates, and fluid situation on the borders amongst other things.
What percentage of global Islam is there in Italy? Like 0.1%?!
You think anybody in Muslim world would care if Mosques in Italy are made "public spaces" and what not. But in doing so, Italy will join the ranks of countries like China and other authotarian regimes across the world. European "moral" fabric of tolerance, democracy, equal rights under law etc will be rendered obsolete. It's one of the biggest sources of self-confidence, pride, and distinction on world stage compared to authoritarian China or "oppressive" global Islam would no longer exist.
And dumb Europeans like OP and others in the thread will believe this to be some sort of "victory"
