Europe has once again been shaken by violent riots in Brussels, London, Paris, and Belfast among other places in recent weeks. Any pretext is good for riots. A football match, a Palestine demonstration, New Year's Eve, or some party or other. Anything can serve as a spark to set the powder keg ablaze. The scenario is usually identical. A small hardcore of troublemakers provokes riots, after which mobilisation takes place via social media, and many hundreds or thousands of hangers-on, often still children, join in. Is Europe on the brink of a civil war?

By Filip Dewinter
The target of the riots is usually the police and emergency services, who are targeted and serve as sparring partners. What follows are arson, vandalism, and, of course, acts of violence of all kinds.

The profile of the rioters is well known: young, usually of immigrant background, and low-skilled. What is striking, in any case, is that both the frequency and the intensity of the riots are constantly increasing. Slowly but surely, we in Europe have entered an escalation of violence that is turning entire neighbourhoods of our cities into a permanent war zone.

Minimising and turning a blind eye
Meanwhile, while we are confronted with serious street fights somewhere in Europe almost weekly, the mainstream media attempts to minimise the facts and interpret them in a politically correct manner. The rioters become ‘youths’, the riots become ‘brawls’, and the acts of violence become ‘pranks’.

The mainstream media, followed by the political elite, refuses to face reality and desperately tries to dismiss the escalating violence in our cities as isolated ‘incidents’. The government and the police, too, swear allegiance to a policy of ‘de-escalation’. In practice, this means providing as little information as possible about the facts; using as little force as possible to suppress the riots; and relying primarily on so-called ‘consultation’ with those involved.

Above all, ‘understanding’ must be shown. Usually, the riots are interpreted as the result of social marginalisation, discrimination, and racism. That settles the matter, and it is a matter of waiting for the next outbreak of violence.

Street Intifada in the service of Islamic Jihad
While the mainstream media and the political elite refuse to see the bigger picture behind all these riots, it is nevertheless clear that there is a strategy and a political agenda behind the street violence. Several criminal organisations, such as the drug mafia, have every interest in turning the neighbourhoods they control into no-go zones where the police do not dare to enter and certainly do not dare to intervene.

Provoking and organising riots is an ideal means of delineating the no-zones and showing who the real boss is in such neighbourhoods.

Jihad in Practice
Radical Islam does the same. They, too, want to assert their authority to the maximum extent in the Islamized enclaves they themselves have created. Riots are intended to keep the police at bay and give shape to these mini-caliphates.

Radical Islam also has an ideological agenda. Through street jihad, not only is the rank and file mobilised against our society and its symbols (the police, government buildings, emergency services), but our society is also destabilised and called into question.

Radical Islam cultivates the us-versus-them narrative, and organising the intifada in our streets is a particularly interesting means to that end. By transforming the ghetto neighbourhoods into a kind of Gaza Strip, permanent tension is created, and the image of the enemy is cultivated.

For radical Islam, street riots are part of the jihad that must be waged against the West. Along with population replacement, terrorist attacks, and the Islamization of our society, street riots are a useful instrument in the fight against the infidels.

Multicultural = multi-criminal
It is beyond dispute that a multicultural society is a particularly fertile breeding ground for carrying out the agenda of both criminal organisations and radical Islam. Aristotle already knew: “In the absence of ethnic harmony, immigration is a factor of civil war.”

Aristotle was right. The multicultural society makes our European society particularly vulnerable because multiculturalism causes the ethnic cohesion necessary to hold a society and civilisation together to disappear.

Professor David Betz (Department of War Studies, King’s College London) says regarding this: “The main cause of the loss of stability is multiculturalism. Ethnic diversity is not the problem, but the underlying ideology that posits that no shared culture, values, patterns of norms, or social cohesion is necessary.

Multicultural ideology is destructive to any society and leads to conflict, confrontation, and ultimately to civil war.” The former commander of British troops in Afghanistan, Colonel Richard Kemp, also warned in the recent past of a civil war on European soil due to the absence of cultural and identity cohesion in multicultural Europe.

Both are right. Multiculturalism causes the most important foundation of a nation-state to disappear: the individual's loyalty to the community whose values, norms, culture, and identity he shares.

Islamo-socialism: Allies against the West
The increasingly violent and frequent riots in our cities are the harbinger of a large-scale civil war. The question is not whether a civil war will come, but rather when.

It is certain that London and Paris, followed by Brussels, are the main breeding grounds for such a conflict. Population replacement is total there; the ethnic-religious ghettos have been transformed into no-go zones, and the gangs are better organised there than elsewhere. A pre-revolutionary atmosphere currently prevails in our major cities, fuelled by radical Islam.

Extreme left-wing organisations such as Antifa and related groups are also doing everything they can to stir up emotions in the naive hope of realising at least part of their political agenda and harnessing several young people to their electoral cause. The fact that the only concrete result will be the hostile takeover of entire districts and perhaps even entire cities by Islam is not a consideration for the radical left.

On the contrary, by acting as (temporary) allies of Islam, the (extreme) left is mobilising a new electorate. Riding every wave of social discontent or protest, the extreme left serves as the ideal vehicle for the growing dissatisfaction that is mobilising, particularly in immigrant (read: Islamic) circles. Riots and violence are an inevitable part of this and lead to the radicalisation of those involved and their methods of action.

Controlled intimidation versus urban guerrilla
Organising law enforcement during potential street riots is no easy task. After all, the law enforcement services do not know where or how action will be taken. The troublemakers employ the tried-and-tested hit-and-run technique: striking and quickly disappearing to do the same elsewhere.

This technique is primarily intended to create chaos and sow confusion. The media impact is certainly at its maximum in the age of social media. The only option for the police is to occupy the area as completely as possible through controlled intimidation.

An intimidating police presence, coupled with a ban on gatherings, preventive arrests, exclusion orders, and house arrest for known troublemakers, is necessary to make clear who is in charge on the streets. Nipping such riots in the bud is necessary to prevent further escalation.

An escalation that can and will, moreover, lead to an urban war in which weapons (firearms, Molotov cocktails, grenades…) are used and a situation of urban warfare becomes inevitable.

Action and reaction
The ongoing riots against foreigners and the many provocative ‘incidents’ involving so-called refugees and immigrants will naturally not remain without consequences. The anger among the remaining native population in the working-class neighbourhoods is immense.

At some point, the situation will boil over, and we are heading for a violent reaction from the justifiably frustrated ‘poor whites’ who see their way of life and future disappearing due to mass immigration. Regrettable, but unfortunately inevitable.

Action and reaction… This senseless violence, too, could have been avoided if one had listened to the many voices critical of immigration. Still, every attempt at debate was silenced by the eternal accusation of racism.

Moreover, this confrontation between immigrant and native is part of the confrontation strategy deliberately pursued by Islamo-communism. They count on the many provocations and riots ultimately leading to a counter-reaction resulting in even more chaos. A revolutionary strategy that leads straight to an ethnic-religious civil war.

The Balkanisation of Europe
Without fully realising it, we have embarked on an almost irreversible path towards civil war. The chance that ‘our’ government will win this conflict is small. The denial of reality and the continued concealment and minimisation of the facts are particularly alarming.

After all, the frequency and intensity of the riots indicate that escalation is being sought. Increased violence, the use of weapons (Molotov cocktails, slingshots, and even firearms), organised gang formation, and guerrilla tactics demonstrate that we have long ceased to deal with isolated incidents.

Apart from all kinds of police and legal measures, policymakers must first and foremost have the courage to acknowledge that this is about much more than skirmishes and childish pranks. The ultimate goal of the riots is the ethnic-religious Balkanization of Europe: the disintegration of cities, countries, and regions into separate entities.

Creating chaos, demarcating, by force if necessary, one's own territory, breaking down structures of authority, cultivating one's own religious and ethnic entities based on confrontation.

As long as politics and the media continue to look the other way and refuse to face this dangerous and even existential threat, things will spiral further out of control, resulting in an inevitable civil war.
