The Islamization of the Western world proceeds apace.
Some regions are farther along than others. Major urban areas in the UK, Germany, Sweden, The Netherlands, Belgium, and France are effectively autonomous enclaves ruled by sharia. Infidels must conform to certain norms of behavior when they enter those zones, but that is no guarantee that they will remain unmolested, since they are infidels, and therefore legitimate prey for Muslims under Islamic law.
Parts of Canada and Australia are in similar straits. Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Finland, and Denmark are not as far along, while Central and Eastern Europe are mostly unscathed.
Here in the USA the situation is more complicated. Certain urban zones, such as Brooklyn, the suburbs of Detroit, and parts of New Jersey, are heavily Islamized, and look a lot like Tower Hamlets, Neukölln, or Marseille. But most of the cultural enrichment in the United States comes from various parts of Latin America, as the recent takeovers by Tren de Aragua remind us. Non-sharia enrichment can be just as devastating as Islamization in its own way.
My mind tends to veer away from considering the future of the Islamized cities of Europe and the European diaspora, because what lies ahead for them will be so ghastly. There’s nothing any of us can do to prevent it, so why think about it?
This is what parts of London look like today — indistinguishable from Dhaka or Karachi:
Most of Western Europe will be in a similar condition within ten or fifteen years — with a Moroccan flavor in Rotterdam, a Turkish flavor in Neukölln, and an Afghan flavor in Rinkeby. Life for the autochthons in those zones will be grimly different from what it has been, so it’s no wonder we don’t want to think about it.
I started mulling these matters over while I was having lunch this afternoon at a little Italian restaurant. My seat happened to be facing a replica of the “Viva Italia” poster featuring the iconic Italian scooter girl, as shown at the top of this essay.
Italy is better off than most of the rest of Western Europe. Although the majority of migrants that cross the Mediterranean land at Italian ports, most of them don’t hang around in Italy for any longer than they have to. Their sights are set on points north — Sweden, Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and especially Germany, which gives the most generous handouts and almost never deports anyone, even when their asylum applications are refused. So Italy has its fair share of Muslim immigrants, but not enough to turn it into Rotterdam or Birmingham.
However, Italy also has some of the worst demographics in Europe: the birthrate for ethnic Italian women is barely half that necessary for replacement. One way or another, Italy will eventually become an Islamic paradise like France or the UK; it’s only a matter of time.
I sat staring at the scooter girl, and contemplated her future in the coming Islamic Republic of Italy. She represents the Italian spirit: a lighthearted healthy freewheeling young woman who goes where she will, confident in the civilized milieu that will support her freedom and leave her unmolested.
But not in the Islamic Republic, alas. Once the Caliphate arrives, if she goes tooling around the city on her scooter, unveiled and unaccompanied by any male relatives, she can expect to be pulled out of her seat when she slows for a corner, then dragged into a nearby alley and raped multiple times. That’s what happens to “uncovered meat” in an Islamic society. Even if the law still nominally forbids such practices, once a district is sufficiently Islamic, those randy young men will go unpunished, because what they do is not unlawful under sharia.
Muslims don’t even have to be in the majority in an area to turn it into a de facto sharia zone. Once they reach 30% to 40% of the population, the strictures of sharia will be applied. The nominal legal authorities will go in fear of what might happen to them if they dare to try to enforce infidel law when it contradicts Islamic law.
That’s how a society becomes Islamic. Such has been the pattern for 1,400 years, and there’s no reason to think things will be any different in Western Europe, especially given that formerly muscular Christianity has atrophied in those parts.
The scooter girl will eventually disappear from the streets of Rome and Milan. She’ll start dressing demurely and covering her hair when she goes out in public, which she will do less and less frequently unless she is accompanied by her father, brother, or uncle. Eventually she’ll probably convert to Islam to secure a better situation for herself, and marry an observant Muslim. Yes, he’ll beat her, and make her bear numerous children, and take other wives for himself. But at least she’ll have a more secure situation than she would as a female kafir in an Islamic paradise.
The native European women who used to look like this…
…will start to look like this:
And the changes will not affect only women, of course. Non-Muslim ethnic European men can expect to have their activities curtailed in certain ways. Public consumption of alcohol will gradually be eradicated. Eventually pork products will become completely unavailable in districts where Muslims approach the majority. The public expression of anything that contradicts Islam or insults Muslims will invite severe corporal punishment, administered promptly and extra-judicially.
As I mentioned above, these changes will be enforced even while existing non-Muslim law is still theoretically the law of the land. A man who insults the prophet, or openly consumes a bacon sandwich, or dares to assert the superiority of Christianity, can expect a vigorous beating by bearded men without moustaches wearing nightgowns and beanies. He might be able to take his assailants to court afterwards, and even see them convicted, but he will still be missing several teeth and have a broken nose and cracked ribs. And the court is unlikely to give his tormentors more than a slap on the wrist, so they will be back out on the street looking for him in a matter of months.
Infidel men will thus learn how to comport themselves if they want to preserve their teeth, or, in the worst case, their lives.
That’s how sharia becomes the law of the land.
Most poignantly of all, men will be denied the company of women who are not their wives or close blood relatives. They will no longer be able to commingle and converse with lovely members of the fairer sex. As I mentioned above, women who go out in public unveiled and unaccompanied constitute “uncovered meat”, and may expect to become sex slaves for the first Muslim male who encounters them.
This is an example from ca. 1909 of what the feminists consider extreme patriarchal repression:
But they ain’t seen nothin’ yet. This is their future:
The Italian scooter girl won’t stand a chance in the Brave New Islamic World. When you see her, make sure to smile and tip your hat, because she won’t be around much longer.
There’s nothing that can be done to stop the Islamization of most major Western European cities; the process is too far along. A man might decide to pack heat where it’s legal (or even where it isn’t) to protect himself and his loved ones from the immediate ravages of cultural enrichment, but the larger process is beyond our control. We were traduced long ago by those whom we trusted to preserve our way of life and guard our interests, and now the dismal consequences must unfold according to their own inexorable internal logic.
“Ah, but Baron,” you say, “there’s always the possibility of civil war.”
Yes, there is. But think about the conditions in, say, London, where Muslims of fighting age already outnumber kafir males of the same demographic. Even if the legacy Londoners had the sand to stand up against both the Muslims and the Metropolitan Police, how do you reckon their chances? How about in Amsterdam? Or Hamburg? Or Malmö?
I suppose the natives could decide to leave the cities and form white enclaves in more rural areas. But even those are being deliberately culturally enriched by the authorities, who have shipped in migrants to “diversify” villages and small towns to teach the benighted white folks the joys of multiculturalism.
As for me, I’m too old for the fight, and my eyesight is failing. My intention is to enjoy the beauty and bounty that surrounds me for as long as I can. Every moment that remains to me is a precious jewel to be treasured.
That’s how I felt this afternoon while I was eating a decidedly non-halal lunch in an Italian café, looking at the Italian scooter girl across the room. I drank my coffee and enjoyed my conversation with the lovely young waitress, whom I tipped generously. Then out to the street, to stroll down the sidewalk looking in the shop windows at the infidel goods, and chatting with people I knew.
Life is good, and I’ve been blessed to live in this place and time. I’ll continue to savor it for as long as it lasts.

Great article; and I generally agree with the tenor of your observations, but I’m less confident in the conclusion you draw about “Scooter Girl” and her comrades assimilating into Sharia’s web. I reckon it more likely that, like the [massive] “white flight” that scooted outta Detroit in the ’60s, she and her happy-go-lucky comrades’ll finally see the light…..and flee. But I could be wrong..
Bon apite, Baron.
Here in Israel we fight back, mainly because most of us believe that “in the beginning Yah Created”.
But we are a “voice crying in the wilderness” with overt opposition from biden/harris/obama/starmer/macron.= and their apparatchiks.
The victories of the past two weeks give truth to the idea that we can chop off the head of the Islamic serpent with help from above, but the secular west sees only jooz and sends donations to our terrorist enemies.
Those who abandon Torah and the ten Commandments also abandon the protections that these things bring and are thus lambs to the (Islamic) slaughter, Karl Marx only ever looked after number one, he watched in idleness as first his sons then his daughters died in poverty because he refused to get a job., Do you think Marxism will in turn, defend YOU?
“The victories of the past two weeks give truth to the idea that we can chop off the head of the Islamic serpent with help from above, but the secular west sees only jooz and sends donations to our terrorist enemies.”
Mohammedanism’s not a serpent, it’s a cancer. Chop off the head and it spreads.
History keeps repeating itself and only the names and dates change….BECAUSE only the names and dates change.
From 2002…
“Far too much time, energy and blood has been expended in the Middle east. It’s time to take decisive action. We need to take out the terror regimes in Iran, Iraq and Syria. Then say to the Palestinians: “You have two choices: You can live as civilized citizens or you can be next.”” —”Terrorism Isn’t Rocket Science”

Islam is devil worship, kill all the devil worshippers, no more devil worship, it’s chemo for the rest of us. People had better get into the mindset, them? or Us? and be prepared to do very unspeakable things to all of them until none exist, if you cannot do that? Expect to be extinct, for they will do it to you without hesitation. You cannot defeat uncivilized savages with civilized means, one has to be far more barbaric and vicious in order to survive the coming Great Purge.
Had Europeans not decided to destroy the fabric of their society with two world wars, the world would be very different. America is likely to benefit from Europe’s collapse, but that’s something future generations must deal with.
But only for a decade or so.
Thereafter all those issues the European face will also emerge in the US as things are currently looking and going in the US.
The US for quite a while has been only focusing on short or mid term issues. And they think they can solve the consequences they lead to when they emerge. For the muslim invasion (of which about 25-35 million are already in the US!) it will be too late, to deal with it once you have 50 million inside.
WWI and WW2 are not the reason that European political leaders decided to import millions of Muslims into their countries. Mass invasion doesn’t follow from WW1, WW2. The mass invasion was a calculated plan to destroy Europe, notwithstanding WW1/WW2
WW1 & 2 were done to weaken Europe so that the mass invasion could begin…at first a trickle, now a flood.
The Great Replacement is the original foundation and culmination of the Longest War. There is only one demographic we are running out of, only 740 million of them left. Goodbye, Scooter Girl, we’ll not see you again!
I don’t think so either. But if the wars hadn’t occurred, the best and brightest generation of natural leaders (Ego Charteris, Raymond Asquith, Wilfred Owen etc) were slaughtered on all sides. These were classicists, who knew how to lead nations. WW1 destroyed the UK economy, ship building was sent to India – just a whole host of problems that led to American ascendency. All avoidable, sadly.
“America is likely to benefit from Europe’s collapse”
How’d you reckon that?
Europe would lose the innovation crown under a caliph. America still has some few decades of exceptionalism, such as SpaceX, etc. I don’t want Europe to become “Eurabia”, but that’s what Europeans seem to want.
It doesn’t matter what certain Europeans want, what is it you want and are you willing to do to keep your fellow Europeans as the rule, not the exception?
To be fair, Europeans didn’t decide destroy the fabric of their societies, they were persuaded to slaughter each other on an unprecedented scale by truly evil parasites, bankers and wealthy industrialists. Yes, we lost the flower of England and each European country as well as the United States. Then, to make things even worse, at the end of WW2, we sent many of our skilled off to Australia along with over 100, 000 orphans off to years of abuse then imported low skilled migrants to “help rebuild” the country.
Australia and Argentina my infidel friends. Safe travels
Australia? Lost to local tyrants.
It is quite interesting.

After I graduated from college in 1967 (Art History major) I spent the summer in Istanbul Turkey, traveling there by train from Paris to which my school had chartered a flight, r/t from/to NYC, return flight in early Sept. I did tour Paris for a week or so, then Venice, then “Orient Express” to Istanbul. Lots of men on the train were Turks returning from Germany on a break from working at the auto plants. It was just days after the Six-Day War and there were refugees on the train. Two fellow college-mates were there, too, having flown in directly and we shared an apt in a historic district of the city, walking to our archeological site — a 9th c. Byzantine Church.
The head of the “dig” was a former prof at our college, and he had to have a local partner, a prof at the technical university there, even though the dig operation was paid for by a famous US foundation. At that time most of the young Turks we came in contact with were pretty similar to us, wearing jeans and t-shirts, etc. Headgear on women was observed on mostly lower class, non-university, females, often wearing long gabardine coats, and surrounded by small children. Probably grandmothers caring for the kids while mom was at work. The workers on the dig were mostly men from Eastern Anatolia, Erzurem, who traveled a long way to work at this humble labor. They actually were friendlier and less “sexist” than the middle class college males that we encountered, who, by the way, hated the United States!
The best memories I have were of the wonderful food, eating at small restaurants, always with beer or “Kola Koka” with lunch, Raki cocktails in the evening. Also interacting with the many nationalities working on archeological projects in the area; Germans, highest status digs, then Brits and French, then US, smaller, less impt sites,
although some great US scholars were working at Hagia Sofia.
Dealing with men on the streets, where they would brush by and bump you, even the police! was a nuisance, or click their tongues, as you walked by. “Inga-lis” they’d hiss.
It was such a relief to visit Greece on a weekend excursion where you would be left alone while admiring some historic site or artifact.
IMO Muslim-adherents are just stupid and those places that they’ve “conquered” are equally retarded to have allowed this to happen. Time for pushback — and it probably won’t occur until the Christian religion regains its testosterone and is not ashamed to show it.
Mark Steyn rightly (IMO) said the best time to live was a British subject between 1848 and June 1914.
An Atwood novel….in covered flesh
If what you are writing is true, then now is a good time to sell weapons and ammunition to the still manly men and women… Think how much could be made by, buying or making as many cheap ar-15s, pistols, 30 round mags and even Tannerite. Just like we supplied the IRA, we can supply them. Even full auto AR parts can be bought… This could be a great opportunity… Thoughts anyone……..
My off the top reaction is that Chris Wray is not sending his best and brightest. Try harder Chris.
It’s sad, but probably correct.
I’m not sure that it’ll go down quite like that in much of the USA, though.
Seeing the Israelis finally pushing back hard is also encouraging.
If you want to know what this future could look like, I suggest picking up a copy of Tom Kratman’s novel from 2008 “Caliphate”.
This is all what is going on (and has been going on) at the surface level for many years.
People have been warning about this for years too.
And yet – the “elites” insist that this has to be done, and that it will be done.
To us.
One of the reasons why these people claim this great social engineering project is justified is to rectify “white guilt.” The argument is – some white men did bad things long ago. Therefore all white men (and women) must pay for that now, by destroying everything our culture has created, so that we are brought low.
It’s not a form of suicide because we’re not doing it to ourselves – it’s a deliberate, intentional murder of an entire civilisation.
Why are the “elites” doing this? It’s not because of the colour of our skin, or of theirs. (If it was, they would give up all their wealth to the nearest immigrant family, then go off and hang themselves. And I don’t see any of these “do-gooders” doing that.)
No. They are doing it because they want to play at being a god. They want to take it upon themselves to pass judgement on all of history, to decide that this, or that, ist verboten or must be destroyed, they want to erase anything and everything that contradicts the lies that come out of their mouth. They want people to obey. And if they will not obey, then they must be “cancelled” (just wait to see what that will mean 3 years, or 5 years from now.)
The people who are destroying our world are the most evil, benighted, Satanic creatures who have ever walked the earth. Far worse than the Japanese during WW2, or the National Socialists, or the NKVD boys, who stood behind the Russians with machine guns and said, “No retreat!”
I take some small comfort in knowing that they are all going to burn in hell, and they’ll be spending eternity with all the people they are currently foisting upon all of us.
Nice essay. Thanks. It’s how I feel, though my wife is more optimistic, but I just can’t see anything stopping the imposition of Islamic law in Europe.
As a former leftist, I am trying to figure out why leftists are doing this, since they will be victims along with everyone else. I’ve come up with theory after theory, and not one of them seems correct. Let me add that there was no trace of this Islamophilia when I was on the left, and I assumed that the formula “religion is the opiate of the people” would apply to Muslims, but it doesn’t, apparently. Leftists are like a battered wife who always sticks up for her man, no matter how much he beats her.
People support this mess because they don’t think it applies to themselves. They are observers, above it, can buy an out, or are obviously immune.
The shock, when they find out otherwise, is paralyzing. 🤷
If anyone dares to declare superiority of Christianity in a modern West European country would be shouted down not so much by Muslims as by woke idiots who have been taught to believe that any religion or no religion would be better than Christianity.
That’s the root of the matter. If Italy remained staunchly Catholic with big families and strong men ready to defend their faith, their family and their culture, with people who would rather die than convert to Islam, Muslims would have had a hard time taking the country under their control.
But modern Italians are so indifferent to anything but their own personal wellbeing that they will surrender without any fighting to speak of.
Reversing this still can happen, but only by disenfranchising women, who vote based on empathy and “oh, the poor…” illegal alien, incarcerated thug, fatherless gangbanger…
But if we don’t – very soon – disenfranchise them and kick them out of the workforce, the lack of fertility will be a contributor to our downfall as much as the savages imported to destroy us.
