300 Million Babies & Counting?

As America celebrations her 300 millionth lottery baby this past year, across the oceans in Europe celebration is not the mood. Heads of State across the EU are wringing their hands of the grim actuarial tables that face the “Old World”. Europeans are dying faster than they are birthing and have swung open the immigration door for all Muslims to enter. The results will not be promising:

Old Man Europe has lost three of its empires and tens of millions of the best and brightest boys through the hellish wars of the last 100 years. The hope of Europe’s future has been crushed on the wheels of war. Lost children, hopes crushed, and brokenness of spirit have permeated the Continent and has all but vanquished Europe’s traditions.

Europe has a sickness: dead man’s disease. All the qualities that make nations great are lacking on that continent:

-a lack of traditional family values
-a lack of faith in God
-a lack of pride in nation
-a lack of optimism about the future

Europe’s lacking stems from ghastly and unnecessary wars. But the cracks were not evident until the onset of post-modern French street marches of Jean Paul Sarte’s college kids of the 1960’s.

Rebellion to faith, family, birth rates, and optimism gave way to philosophic nihilism in Europe in the 1960’s forward. The only hope modern states of Europe had in perpetuating their traditions was to band together under one banner of laws and social conventions called the EU.

Is there irony? The EU was De Gaulle’s and Adaneur’s last ditch effort to bring peace to blood-stained Europe. It was also Europe’s last desperate attempt to jump start family, faith, and hope in creating a future for their children. What Adaneur of Germany and De Gaulle of France determined was to bind Europeans together so that war would not tear them apart again.

Institutions, however, don’t create families. What European leaders failed to recognize is that without faith, there is no perpetuation of family. European leaders have sterilized Paul, Jesus, Peter, Augustine, the monks, Charlemagne, Aquinas, Calvin, Luther, Barth, and Bonhoffer off their continent on their way to creating their union of states. These saints of old and the Messiah himself, provided the faith that gave life, virtue, hope, and purpose to Europe and family.

But what do we have now? Elevated are Rousseau’s contract, Hume’s skepticism, and a modern EU Constitution that eliminates God, the Christian heritage, and the light of truth that drives faith.

Enlightened Europeans have replaced churches with abortion clinics. Sterile needles for recreational highs and Euthanasia for unwanted parents are the banners of pride for Chirac’s prideful Europe. In the meantime, Mohammed’s children have embarked on a demographic invasion of Europe bringing Allah, the Koran, and a distaste for Europe with them.

Without the drive for strong marriage and family ties, Europe will not multiply and be fruitful. The cause of which can be traced to Europe’s suicidal wars that destroyed hundreds of millions of families. The gloom of war struck the hearts of Europe’s children like Macbeth’s tragedy.

With no Christian hope on an atheistic European continent, is there any reason husbands and wives would commit to bringing children into their world? The intellectual giants of Europe have answered: No!

Angry protests by Sarte’s college students across France, and Camus’ strange and meaningless works of fiction have mesmerized have brainwashed the boys and girls of Europe. Purpose and life’s meaning have been stripped from the land where Whitfield and Wesley captured the hearts of men.

And so the result is? “Old Man Europe” is orphaning his children in the glory of 20th century war. The children of Europe would rather cohabitate than marry. She will not don the wedding dress; he will bypass the groom’s attire. The steeples will ring empty. They will die the death of quiet desperation, barren, and no legacy worth telling.

As Europe’s children embrace slow death, European governments have swung their borders open. A new citizen in Europe must fill the slot of European jobs and family. Could cosmopolitan Europe now be importing millions of Islamic citizens from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East?

The results are nothing short of frightening. With Denmark, England, and France housing these new Islamic citizens in their democracies, politicians are accommodating Islamic citizens to get re-elected. So powerful is the Islamic voice in Europe today, that Europeans are finding it difficult to assimilate the Islamic population. Instead, in the vein of traditional Islamic influence, Europe is being overrun by Saladin’s people who want jobs. But they do not want to be classical Europeans.

Allah’s laws, culture, and hopes are clashing with “Old Europe”, the War on Terror, and western values. The 7/11 attacks, Spain’s train bombs, French street riots, Danish atrocities, and German underground plotters are all but tiny examples of an emboldened foreign population preparing to siege the gates of Vienna.

Revitalized Islamic citizens smell blood. The Old Man’s carcass is being circled by the vultures preying on the death of western tradition. Without apology, the force of Islamic immigration is bringing about a perceptible change of the guard in Europe. What the sword of Sulieman “The Great” could not do to overrun Europe, Europe’s own children did to itself in a suicide pact through continental warfare in the 20th century.

Today Europe’s Armada’s, Royal Navy’s, etc…have merged into some murky EU federation designed to strengthen the people of Europe. But military has little relevance in the war against abortion, Euthenasia, and the culture of death. This battle remains the domain of Christ, his church, and faith in God. But faith is rare commodity these days in Europe.

As Europe’s carcass is encircled by the birds of Islam and its borders being overrun by Saladin’s children, optimism has been replaced with an existential pessimism. King Ferdinand’s optimistic explorers of the future are nowhere to be found. England’s Royal Navy has conquered and receded. France’s 18th and 19th century glory has glimmered and burned to ashes. Holland, Portugal, Poland, and Sweden have had their fifteen minutes of fame as well. Wars of the 20th century have broken the back of Europe, depressed the family structure, and eliminated the births necessary to ward the end of traditional Europe.

Is it any wonder that the whole of Europe remains silent as the War on Terror marches on? Their war on terror began with Archduke Ferdinand’s assassination. And Hitler’s Nazi’s carried the final death blow. Millions were dead.

Is it any wonder that Europe’s policies and politicians so often diverge from America’s as the decades move away from WWII? America carries in its bosom optimism. With the “House of Europe” being silently sacked, “America Alone” stands again by itself to carry the values of the west and its Christian traditions to the next generation.
