The common denominator of the indigenous European peoples in Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and most other European countries is a similar state of decline caused by uncontrolled migration by non-Westerners, often Islamic asylum seekers.

Let’s start with Germany, where Angela Merkel, who served as Chancellor from 2005 to 2021, is mainly responsible for her country’s decline and migration crisis. Between 2014 and 2016, with 2015 being the most dramatic year, the European refugee crisis reached its peak. Over 1.3 million people sought asylum in Europe, the most significant wave since World War II. A combination of humanitarian concerns, geopolitical instability, and European policy gaps shaped Angela Merkel's immigration stance during this period.

While Merkel did not specifically aim to "import Islamists," her policies did result in a massive influx of refugees, some of whom came from Muslim-majority countries, and a small number of whom were later linked to extremist Islamist activities.

The 1.3 million asylum seekers, mostly unvetted Muslims, who arrived in Europe in 2015 came primarily from regions devastated by war, persecution, and instability: Syria: due to civil war, Assad regime violence, ISIS terror; Afghanistan: due to Taliban insurgency, ongoing conflict; Iraq: Sectarian violence, ISIS occupation; Pakistan: Extremist violence, political instability; Eritrea: Authoritarian regime, forced conscription; Nigeria: Boko Haram insurgency, ethnic conflict; Somalia: Civil war, terrorism, famine.

As I watch what is taking place in Europe today, those who sought asylum brought along with them their country's ethos and culture. They just moved to the 1st world continent, Europe, and dragged along with them their 3rd world behaviour and basically did not really assimilate.

2005–2014, Germany's gradual immigration policy shifts
Merkel's government supported immigration reforms, which included the 2005 Immigration Act; the act recognised Germany as a country of immigration and aimed to integrate migrants more effectively.

It is rather apparent that Germany has failed in its effective migration integration policy. Between 2009 and 2014, Germany's net migration rose significantly—from 100,000 to 580,000 annually.

Merkel's landmark decision was to open Germany's borders to refugees claiming to be fleeing war-torn countries like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Her statement "Wir schaffen das" ("We can do this") became symbolic of Germany's open-door policy when over 1 million unvetted refugees entered Germany that year alone.

Facing backlash and security concerns
During the 2016–2017 years, the immigration policy ricocheted with backlash and security concerns that have been reaching new peaks each day since.

A series of violent incidents, including the Cologne New Year's Eve assaults, the Würzburg train attack, and the Ansbach bombing, raised public concern about security and integration. These events intensified criticism of Merkel's refugee policy, but it was too late. The imported unvetted Muslims are there to stay in Europe.

Merkel's response and strategy
Merkel responded to the immigration buildup crisis by focusing on integration through language courses, education, and employment programs. As for security, her government increased surveillance and tightened asylum procedures after 2016.

It seems as if Merkel did not do her homework when it comes to Islam and its followers. Merkel's policies may not have been designed to "import Islamists, instead, they were probably humanitarian in nature. The challenge was balancing compassion with national security—a tension that defined much of the debate during her tenure.

From what we see on our TV screens or read, these policies have been relatively ineffective. Germany's and other European countries' refugee policies are now leading to a surge in support for anti-immigration parties, reshaping Germany and other European countries' political landscape.

Is it now too late?

The Schengen policy
The Schengen Area is Europe's open borders system that encompasses 29 European countries that have officially abolished border controls at their common borders.

And thus Merkel's policy metastasised to the entire Europe, and the Muslims she imported into Germany wandered to other countries in Europe, where they settled. Following these refugees who received an easy stake in Europe were their extended family members.

Tommy Robinson
Let’s zoom in on the United Kingdom. It is worth noting that Tommy Robinson, born in Luton, England, grew up in a working-class area with a substantial Muslim population. He is one of the most controversial figures in British politics, known primarily for having an outspoken opposition to Islam and the' immigration of Islamists.

Robinson's activism has centred on portraying Islam as a threat to British values. His efforts include founding the English Defence League (EDL) in 2009, a street protest movement that claimed to oppose "Islamic extremism," and became widely criticised for inciting anti-Muslim hatred and violence.

Promoting content that frames Islam as inherently incompatible with Western society.

Collaborating with platforms such as Rebel News and InfoWars, amplifying his reach internationally. Though Robins has been a controversial figure, as of today, I personally think he is right in his opinion.

Sharia courts
A Sharia court is an informal Muslim religious body that interprets and applies Islamic law (Sharia) in matters like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and family disputes.

Sharia councils or tribunals exist in various forms across Europe, but their legal status, influence, and public perception vary widely from country to country, and they have sparked debate.

In Britain, there are around 85 Sharia councils, mostly attached to mosques. They operate under the Arbitration Act 1996, allowing religious arbitration in civil matters if both parties agree. I see the Sharia courts' operation in contradiction to British law, which applies to all citizens.

Europeans, open your eyes
The population replacement fertility rate refers to the average number of children a woman needs to have to ensure that a population remains stable—neither growing nor shrinking—without accounting for migration.

The commonly cited global standard replacement rate average is 2.1 children per woman. This accounts for: infant and child mortality, gender ratio at birth (slightly more boys than girls), and women who do not reproduce.

The replacement rate of some European countries is: France: 1.6; UK: 1.5; Ireland: 1.6; Spain: 1.41; Sweden: 1.84; Denmark: 1.77; Norway: 1.7; Italy: 1.18, the lowest since records began in 1952; Greece: 1.26, 2025 projection. In other European countries, the replacement rate ranges from 1.6 to 1.8.

Historically, Muslim fertility in Europe has been above replacement level. Demographic momentum and migration patterns are more influential in shaping future population shares. According to Pew Research, even with zero future migration, the Muslim share of Europe's population is projected to rise due to their younger age profile and higher fertility.

I therefore make my own calculation here:

Islamic culture, ethos and faith in Germany, Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, in fact in all of the EU countries appears to be ending Christian Europe as we have known it for centuries. In time, the indigenous Germans, Belgians, French, Greeks, Italians, etc., will vanish, and in fact, Europe will become a predominantly Islamist continent.

We watch Israel having to fend itself from Islam and Islamic terrorism; we read about Muslims killing Muslims all over the Middle East. What if the European Muslims, seeing themselves as strong enough, start attacking the local population? After all, the Islamic agenda is to conquer the world and have one global Ummah=nation.

What if the European Muslims start fighting each other as they always do?

As the Islamic population in Europe expands into politics, their Islamic ethos, faith, behaviour and dictate also expand.

In all likelihood, the indigenous Europeans will slowly disappear in one way or another. As it is, the population replacement rate in all of Europe is below the 2.1 children per woman, which is necessary to maintain a stable population size over time. So one way or another, the Europe we have known is over.

Europe is facing a demographic time bomb
Though we spend so much time on this topic, the Europeans, mainly the ruling class, have decided that it is fine by them the way things are, for now! In fact, they refuse to see what is happening around them and choose to live in "La La Land," like in the 2016 American musical romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Damien Chazelle.

For now, Europeans are living in a parallel universe that is threatening their existence.

I suggest to Europe, Wake Up and fast.
