Sidway <http://facingislam.blogspot.com/> Sometimes an image — a metaphor — is much more effective at presenting truth than even the most persuasive argument or laying out of facts. “The Nightmare” is such an image. Europeans may still have some dim collective memory of the Muslim conquest of the Iberian peninsula (Spain) in the early 8th century, of Islam’s nearly successful colonization of the rest of Western Europe (Gaul, etc.), of centuries of Muslim raids on Italy, of Muslim piracy and dominance in the Mediterranean Sea, of repeated Muslim attempts to invade Europe through the Balkans, of the eventual fall of Constantinople in 1453, and of Turkish crimes against the Greeks during the 18th and 19th centuries and the Armenian Genocide in the early 20th. Then there are the great, providential battles and movements which halted, turned back and expelled the Muslim invaders from the West: Charles Martel (“the Hammer”) and his victory in the Battle of Tours (732), the “Reconquista” of Spain, the valiant self-sacrifice of Tsar-Martyr Lazar and the Serbs at the Battle of Kosovo (1389), and the famous defense of Europe against the Ottoman Muslims at the Gates of Vienna in 1683. Yet today’s Europe seems completely moribund, ignoring both its own history as well as the history of Islamic expansion. It is as if Europa and her Sisters (England, America, Canada, Australia, etc.) suffer from a nightmarish sleep paralysis <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis> like helpless maidens of old, the Islamic incubus pinning her down and completely sapping her will and strength to resist. The British have all but surrendered <http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/07/spencergeller-ban-this-is-the-day-britain-surrendered> already, turning a blind eye to Muslim rape gangs preying on thousands of British girls, trampling on freedom of speech by shutting down criticism of Islam, and advancing Sharia courts and Islamic finance systems. The realm which gave us the Magna Carta is behaving as if she may voluntarily raise the black flag of jihad over Buckingham Palace, a final token act of appeasement as the Islamic crocodile gnaws on England’s extremities. The metaphor of the demonic Incubus <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubus> (Islam) preying upon the paralyzed sleeper (Europa) is hardly a stretch, as this particular demon was believed to engage in sexual activity with its victim, trying to foster a hybrid human-demon child, and if unable to do that, then to bring about madness, demon possession, sickness and ultimately death to its host. Does this not describe the horrific nightmare being played out in cities across Europe and England? Muslim immigration (the “Incubus”) literally “penetrates” Western societies (the “Sleeper-Victim”), creating hostile, alien enclaves which begin in embryonic form, but eventually give birth to hellish Shariah No-Go zones. By the time the somnambulant host begins to awaken, it has been driven nearly mad from its inner conflict between liberal freedoms and its weakened impulse to defend itself. A quick survey of the evil, supremacist behavior of Muslim populations in France <http://www.jihadwatch.org/search_gcse?q=france%20jihad>, Sweden <http://facingislam.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-new-stockholm-syndrome-issuing.html> , Denmark <http://www.jihadwatch.org/search_gcse?q=denmark>, et al bear witness to this plague. The great irony of this pathological societal inner conflict is that those enabling the destruction of Western civilization through advocating Muslim immigration and preferential treatment of Islam routinely demonize with the charge of “Islamophobia” those who see the dangers of Islam and dare to speak out against it. Those who willingly aid and abet the Incubus and gladly receive its demon seed accuse Christians and lovers of freedom of being demons. The United States now seems at least to be trying to rouse herself from her political atonia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atony>(symptomized by the Obama administration scrubbing all national security directives from any reference to Islam <http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2014/05/21/obama-administration-scrubbed-jihad-and-islam-from-counterterrorism-manuals/>, which inspires 90% of all terrorist acts worldwide), yet under this administration cannot and will not confront the actual root cause of Muslim terrorism and jihad, which is embedded in Islam’s DNA through the Quran and the example of Muhammad. America’s problem thus seems to be less a case of paralysis, and more one of volition. For example, 4-star Admiral James Lyons, former Commander of the US Pacific Fleet, recently reported <http://toprightnews.com/?p=8248> that the Muslim Brotherhood has “penetrated” (there’s that word again) all of Obama’s National Security agencies. And the President’s Summit on Countering Violent Extremism actually includes as one of its partners the terrorist-and-ISIS-linked Islamic Society of Boston <https://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2015/02/17/obama-white-house-partners-with-isis-linked-group-in-boston/> . The Islamic State sees Europe’s paralysis and America’s moral and ideological disarray, hence its ever increasing boldness. And Muslims the world over see it too, hence reports that tens of thousands of Muslims <http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_ISLAMIC_STATE_FOREIGN_FIGHTERS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT> from all around the globe, including from Western democracies, are streaming to the Levant to join the Islamic State, even as Muslim immigration into Western host societies continues to escalate. Are we in the early stages of a long defeat, leading to the death of a once great civilization? Unless paralyzed and catatonic Europa and her Sisters can shake off their sleep and throw off the Incubus pinning them down, the night looks long and the future dark indeed. *Ralph Sidway is an Orthodox Christian researcher and writer, and author of Facing Islam: What the Ancient Church has to say about the Religion of Muhammad.
