Ben Franklin in the 1750s voiced concern over too many Germans arriving in Pennsylvania and even commented on their “swarthy complexion.” Germans call it Uberfremdung or “over-foreignization.” It’s a fear that their homeland will be changed to where it is no longer home. It’s not just foreign languages and foreign practices but the numerous changes and the magnitude of the changes to America that would make old Ben turn over and over in his grave.
America has begun to lose that familiar home feeling.
Pimps for Islam in America are constantly telling us that we don’t have to be concerned about Muslim influence; however, many European nations reveal a different story. Only a fool would climb into bed with Islam when the facts are revealed.
We are living in unusual days—days when we have seen a singular event unfold before our eyes. The sea change taking place in European cities whereby a whole culture is being replaced by an inferior one at an unpreceded speed has never been seen before. There was a similar event following the death of Mohammed when his zealot followers took Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, the Holy Land, and the North African coast; then jumped from North Africa into Spain and Portugal and were finally stopped by Charles Martel (in France) in 732. But that massive change occurred at the tip of the sword; the Islamization of Europe and America happening today is caused by stupidity, not the sword.
Americans only have to look across the pond to see our looming future.
According to Sweden’s National Crime Prevention Council about fifty percent of the population who lives in the 61 no-go zones (“troubled areas”) fear for their safety when walking near their homes after dark. In a foolish gesture of kindness, the Swedes opened wide their arms to receive Muslim “refugees” only to have the newcomers rob, rape, and rip them off for their kindness.
Not wanting to offend the newcomers’ religious beliefs, the Swedes have adjusted their own beliefs, traditions, and customs to accommodate Muslims. They did so without any moral, legal, or rational reason for doing so. They even canceled their traditional Christmas concert and increased their promotion of Islamic events. The Voice of America on Oct. 15, 2018 reported that the world’s largest outdoor Christmas concert which airs on national television each Christmas Eve was cancelled.
After all, the Christmas songs about peace on earth might offend the freeloading guests in their presence.
But it is much worse in that they put a woman wearing a hijab on their annual calendar and cancelled the traditional student choir’s appearance on television during the spring celebration. School principals now forbid students to wave the Swedish flag on their graduation day; however, they do have a prayer for diversity at National Day celebrations.
Very thoughtful, those Swedes.
While the Swedes downplay their own traditions they promote Islam with gusto. On Sweden’s most traditional holiday, their state television network permitted a woman wearing a hijab to teach them how to cook Muslim food correctly. Of course, Ramadan is now a major event in Sweden and is celebrated in several Swedish cities and on television.
