The Dawn of Islamic Europe
in response to reader comment: Europe - Then and Now

Let's all learn from the last time Muslims ruled in Spain, with their assorted local useful-idiots, the Mozarabes (Jews and Christian Converts to Islam) Dhimmis (Jews and Christians who paid taxes to Islam) and Mercenaries (Christian soldiers who fought for Islam--eg El Cid), and the ubiquitous Malsines, the collaborators (Jews and Christians who informed on their co-religionists to the Islamic authorities).

All of these categories are being and will, in future, be re-created in Europe, and who knows, maybe in The USA too. Such people, along with the bulk of the Umma, will come into direct conflict with the European authorities, and there will be war on European soil, in every European country, one by one, pitting the Umma and its Sharia against the Western powers and its secular Law.

But does this qualify as civil war? I think one has to re-evaluate such terms when the carnage, as in Afghanistan and Iraq now, is being caused as much by foreign fighters as by Iraqi Shiite killing Iraqi Sunni. Brother may be fighting brother, but both are being provoked by foreign jihadis with every interest in causing and maintaining the instability caused by internecine upheaval!

Once again, Spain's experience is telling; where Berber fought Arab, Arab fought Arab, Christian fought with both against both, and all fought against all! Is that a past reflection of the European future? Was that Civil War

I'd say we are in for a very very Un-Civil War!!
