The attack carried out by 21-year-old Abdul Ballout at the Pride event in Berlin once again demonstrates the failure of Muslim integration into our European society. Although Abdul Ballout was born in Berlin in 2005 to a family of Lebanese descent, and grew up and attended school in Germany, he nonetheless emerged as a “soldier of the Islamic State” (IS).

The path Abdul Ballout has followed in recent years certainly gave cause for the worst fears. Barely a year ago, he was sentenced to one year and ten months in prison for plotting a violent attack.

However, he was released early because judicial authorities deemed that he posed "no immediate danger to those around him." He was merely placed under surveillance and subjected to a so-called deradicalisation program.

Nevertheless, in 2025, he travelled to Lebanon with the intention of joining ISIS in Syria. Upon his return to Germany, he was arrested, convicted, and released once again... Abdul Ballout reportedly became radicalised via social media. It remains unclear whether he carried out the attack alone or was part of a broader network, so much for the facts.

Immigration: Trojan Horse
The account of yet another attack on European soil committed by radical Muslims sounds all too familiar. Mass immigration has proven to be a Trojan horse for organisations such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and other jihadist terrorist groups.

Moreover, potential terrorists no longer need to go to the trouble of travelling from the Middle East to carry out attacks here. These Muslim terrorists—first-, second-, or third-generation immigrants—are already here, living among us; most were even born here. They hate our society and are determined to bring down our European civilisation and replace it with Islam.

The flawed and downright naive way the authorities deal with such potential terrorists is appalling.

The attack in Berlin is not the first in which a truck or passenger vehicle has been used as a weapon. On July 14, 2016, France’s national holiday, 86 people were killed and more than 400 injured when a Tunisian Muslim drove a truck into the crowd on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.

Germany, too, has faced similar attacks. Also in 2016, another Tunisian drove a truck into a Christmas market in Berlin, resulting in 13 deaths and over 70 injuries. Similar attacks have also occurred in Barcelona, ​​London, New York, Toronto, and Stockholm.

Meanwhile, Christmas markets and large-scale events of all kinds have been transformed into something resembling a war zone, ringed by concrete blocks, barriers, and heavy police presence in combat gear.

Shielding events of all kinds with ever-increasing security measures will never truly help; it is a futile, superficial fix. The same applies to deradicalisation programs and attempts to downplay the threat of Islamist terror.

Jihad against the West
After all, the terrorist attacks on European soil are merely one part of the Islamic jihad being waged by Islam against Europe. Alongside violent jihad, there is immigration jihad, demographic jihad, cultural jihad, and economic jihad—all intended to bring Europe down.

All of this with a single goal: the hostile takeover of the West by Islam. Islam’s intentions and aims in this regard, as well as the *modus operandi* and the means to be employed, are all set out in the Quran.

Anyone wishing to know what Islam plans for the *kafirs* (infidels) need only consult the Quran. It is all in there... Yet, as with National Socialism, the gullible European elite refuses to face the truth.

In the 1930s, anyone wanting to know Hitler’s plans needed only to read *Mein Kampf*. Today, anyone wanting to know what Islam plans for Europe needs only to read the Quran. Indeed, the Quran is the source of all evil.

Islamism sits like a chick inside the egg of Islam
Meanwhile, the "woke" elite in Europe gives the impression that it will all turn out fine. An illusion is being created that Islam will adapt to our European values, norms, and way of life.

This so-called "European Islam" is supposed to ensure that Islam ceases to be discriminatory, misogynistic, homophobic, totalitarian, and violent. Such a European Islam also presupposes that Muslims accept the separation of church and state and distance themselves from the theocratic nature of Islam.

In short, roughly half of all the *surahs* (chapters) would have to be torn out of the Quran, leaving behind an amputated version of Islam that holds no appeal for any Muslim. To maintain the illusion of a European Islam, an artificial distinction must be drawn between Islam and so-called Islamism.

In the eyes of the prophets of multiculturalism, Islam is peace-loving, committed to solidarity, ecumenical, and tolerant, fully compatible with the separation of church and state, gender equality, democracy, and freedom of speech. And then there is radical Islam, so-called Islamism.

The Qur'an: “a license to kill”
Consequently, the mainstream media and established power structures go to great lengths to shield Islam from criticism regarding the Islamic terror holding Europe hostage. According to them, the attacks have nothing to do with Islam itself but are the result of a radical offshoot: Islamism.

However, "Islamism" or "Islamist" is merely a semantic device used to avoid discussing the true nature of Islam—which is violent, discriminatory, and totalitarian. Islamism is a multiculturalist invention designed solely to avoid challenging Islam and to reassure public opinion.

In reality, however, so-called radical Islam—or Islamism—*is* Islam; it draws upon the same sources: the Quran and the Hadith. The Quran is indeed "a license to kill." So-called "Islamism" exists within Islam like a chick inside the egg.

Islam and Islamism are one and indivisible. As long as this harsh reality cannot be voiced due to political correctness, the problems will only escalate…

Ideology of conquest
The artificial distinction that the mainstream media and the politically correct elite attempt to draw between jihadism, Islamism, and so-called "radical Islam" on the one hand, and Islam *tout court* on the other, is the real problem.

People refuse to acknowledge that spreading hatred against our society and propagating or using violence are integral parts of the ideology of conquest that Islam is, and has always been. Anyone who consults the history of Islam knows the reality of the situation.

Anyone who reads the Quran and the Hadith knows exactly where we stand... Yet this analysis is not permitted, cannot be made, and will not be made, because it conflicts with multiculturalism and the lax immigration policies of recent decades.

Wolf in sheep's clothing
By now, Islam has, at least in the eyes of multiculturalism's true believers, "become part of Europe." Is that really the case? We have welcomed, fed, and raised a wolf in sheep's clothing; now, the wolf is casting off that disguise and biting not just the hand that fed it, but the very throat of its benefactor.

Anyone who believes that more concrete barriers around Christmas markets, even more cameras and police on the streets, and stricter immigration policies are the solution to the problem is mistaken.

The enemy is already within the gates. Islam's ultimate goal is clear: after Constantinople, Rome must fall. Through the countless mosques across Europe, the seeds of hatred against our society are being sown and cultivated; IS and its affiliates need only reap the harvest at the right moment.

Islam is the source of all evil and must be treated as such: close the mosques, stop subsidising Islam, do not recognise Islam as an official religion, do not permit outward symbols of Islam such as the headscarf and the like... in short, ensure that Islam does not take further root in Europe.

Otherwise, within 30, 40, or at most 50 years, Europe will have transformed into Eurabia.
