European leaders talk about two things these days; preserving European values by taking in Muslim migrants and integrating Muslim migrants into Europe by getting them to adopt European values. It does not occur to them that their plan to save European values depends on killing European values.
The same European values that
require Sweden, a country of less than 10 million, to take in 180,000 Muslim
migrants in one year also expects the new “Swedes” to celebrate tolerance,
feminism and gay marriage. Instead European values have filled the cities of
Europe with Shariah patrols, unemployed angry men waving ISIS flags and the
occasional public act of terror.
European countries that refuse to
invest money in border security instead find themselves forced to invest money
into counterterrorism forces. And those are bad for European values too.
But, as Central European countries
are discovering, European values don’t have much to do with the preservation of
viable functioning European states. Instead they are about the sort of static
Socialism that Bernie Sanders admires from abroad. But even a Socialist welfare
state requires people to work for a living. Maine’s generous welfare policies
began collapsing once Somali Muslims swarmed in to take advantage of them.
Denmark and the Dutch, among other of Bernie Sanders’ role models, have been
sounding more like Reagan and less like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren.
Two years ago, the Dutch King declared
that, “The classic welfare state of the second half of the 20th century in
these areas in particular brought forth arrangements that are unsustainable in
their current form.” That same year, the Danish Finance Minister called for the
“modernization of the welfare state.” But the problem isn’t one of
modernization, it’s medievalization.
27% of Moroccans and 21% of Turks in
the Netherlands are unemployed. It’s 27% in Denmark for Iraqis. And even when
employed, their average income is well below the European average. Critics
pointed out in the past that a multicultural America can’t afford the welfare
states that European countries have. Now that those same countries are turning
multicultural, they can’t afford them either.
Europe invested in the values of its
welfare state. The Muslim world invested in large families. Europe expects the
Muslim world to bail out its shrinking birth rate by working and paying into
the system so that its aging population can retire. The Muslim migrants however
expect Europe to subsidize their large families with its welfare state while
they deal some drugs and chop off some heads on the side. Once again, European values are in
conflict with European survival.
European values that require Europe
to commit suicide are about ideology, not language, culture or nationhood. But
the incoming migrants don’t share that ideology. They have their own Islamic
values.
Why should 23-year-old Mohammed work
for four decades so that Hans or Fritz across the way can retire at 61 and lie
on a beach in Mallorca? The idea that Mohammed would ever want to do such a
thing out of love for Europe was a silly fantasy that European governments fed
their worried citizens.
Mohammed doesn’t share European
values. Nor are they likely to take hold of him no matter how often the aging
teachers, who hope he gets a job and subsidizes their retirement, try to drill
them into his head. Europeans expect Mohammed to become a Swede or a German as
if he were some child they had adopted from an exotic country and raised as
their own, and work to subsidize their European values.
The Muslim migrants are meant to be
the retirement plan for an aging Europe. They’re supposed to keep its
ramshackle collection of economic policies, its welfare states and social
programs rolling along.
But they’re more like a final
solution. Mohammed is Fritz’s retirement plan. But Mohammed has a very
different type of plan. Fritz is counting on Mohammed to work while he relaxes.
Mohammed relaxes and expects Fritz to work. Fritz is not related to him and
therefore Mohammed sees no reason why he should work to support him.
European social democracy reduces
society to a giant insurance plan in which money is pooled together. But
insurance is forbidden in Islam which considers it to be gambling. European
social democracy expects him to bail it out, but to Mohammed, European values
are a crime against Islam.
Mohammed’s Imam will tell him to work off the books because paying into the system is gambling. However taking money out of the system is just Jizya; the money non-Muslims are obligated to pay to Muslims. Under Islamic law, it’s better for Mohammed to sell drugs than to pay taxes.
That’s why drug dealing and petty
crime are such popular occupations for Salafis in Europe. It’s preferable to
steal from infidels than to participate in the great gamble of the European
welfare state.
Mohammed isn’t staking his future on
the shaky pensions of European socialism. He invests in what social scientists
call social capital. He plans his retirement by having a dozen kids. If this
lifestyle is subsidized by infidel social services, so much the better. And
when social services collapse, those of his kids who aren’t in prison or in
ISIS will be there to look after him in his golden years. As retirement plans
go, it’s older and better than the European model.
Mohammed doesn’t worry much about
the future. Even if he doesn’t make it past six kids, by the time he’s ready to
retire the European country he’s living in will probably be an Islamic State.
And he is confident that whatever its arrangements are, they will be better and
more just than the infidel system.
Sweden will take in 180,000 migrants
this year. Germany may take in 1.5 million. Most of them will be young men
following the Mohammed retirement plan.
Europeans are being assured that the
Mohammeds will balance out the demographic disparity of an aging population
with too many retirees and too few younger workers. But instead the Mohammeds
will put even more pressure on the younger workers who not only have to
subsidize their elders, but millions of Mohammeds, their multiple brides and
their fourteen child Islamic retirement plans.
Retirement ages will go further up
and social services for the elderly will be cut. The welfare state will
collapse, but it will have to be kept running because the alternative will be
major social unrest.
Among the triggers of the Arab
Spring were rising wheat prices and cuts to food subsidies. Prices went up and
governments fell as street riots turned into civil wars. Imagine a Sweden where
50 percent of the young male population is Muslim, mostly unemployed, turning
into Syria when the economy collapses and the bill comes due. Imagine European
Muslim street riots where the gangs have heavy artillery and each ghetto Caliph
has his own Imams and Fatwas to back up his claims.
Europe is slowly killing itself in
the name of European values. It’s trying to protect its economic setup by
bankrupting it. European values have become a suicide pact. Its politicians
deliver speeches explaining why European values require mass Muslim migration
that make as little sense as a lunatic’s suicide note.
Islamic
values are not compatible with European values. Not
only free speech and religious freedom, but even the European welfare state is
un-Islamic. Muslims have a high birth rate because their approach to the future
is fundamentally different than the European one. Europeans have chosen to have
few children and many government agencies to take care of them. Muslims choose
to have many children and few government agencies. The European values so
admired by American leftists have no future.
Europe is drinking rat poison to
cure a cold. Instead of changing its values, it’s trying to maintain them by
killing itself. The Mohammed retirement plan won’t save European Socialism. It
will bury it.
