europe without christianity: - relativism atheism and islam
Bookmarked 730 weeks ago while christianity is still very relevant in the united states and is exploding in the developing world europe today has sunk below unbelief and is now labeled quotchristophobicquot and quotanti-religiousquot ooo ooo ooodecline and fall: europe039s slow motion suicide by bruce s thorntonit used to be said that when it came to worldviews americans were from mars and europeans were from venus but a new school of thought posits a different role for our continental counterparts europe in this schema is more like a dying star: a once-brilliant civilization whose best days lie behind it that has lost the internal strength to endure and that is headed toward oblivion bruce thornton a classics professor at california state university is the latest to take up this thesis in decline and fall he makes the case that a number of factorsincluding unsustainable welfare states dwindling birthrates undiscriminating immigration laws a society disconnected from the transcendent truths of christianity and a failure to confront the gathering threat of islamic jihadism aggressivelyare leading europe to commit quotslow-motion suicidequotgovernment largesse may seem an unlikely source of civilizational decline but thornton shows that it is indeed cause for concern a massive influx of immigrants from the middle east unassimilated into european society contributes little to economic growth meanwhile tax receipts required to sustain social-welfare benefits may dry up as europe ages as the economist recently reported the projected median age in europe in 2050 will be 53 meaning that a large population of young workers will be necessary to support the older generation039s exit from the economyunfortunately there may not be enough workers thornton identifies another sign of europe039s fall from prominence: its ongoing baby bust despite policies like paid leave for new parents benefit checks for children until the age of 18 and subsidies for child care european births remain below the replacement rate of 21 births per woman combine this population decline with a boom in muslim immigration from the middle east and you have the makings of what scholar bat ye039or has called quoteurabiaquoteurope039s historic cathedrals overflow with tourists not parishioners he rightly observes related to the decline of faith is the rise of multiculturalism in equal measure admiring of third world cultures and disdainful of the west it renders europeans quotincapable of defending their civilization against those who would destroy itquotthornton leaves no doubt as to the identity of these enemies the european union he writes is now home to between 15 and 20 million muslims many of whom are not only unassimilated to the broader culture but also openly and sometimes violently hostile to it some of the blame he acknowledges must fall on european countries freeing up their economies might have given immigrants a chance to prosper but they opted instead to throw money at the immigration problem in the form of welfare programs rage-filled ethnic ghettos like france039s mainly muslim banlieues are the unintended resultbut the fault lies too with the immigrants themselves unafraid of controversy thornton contends that a leading cause of violence among muslim immigrants is their faith not distortions of islam but quotcore islamic beliefsquot about unbelievers and the obligations of jihad are what drive islamic extremists to abhor and on occasion attack their adoptive countries in support of this view which will not endear him to the council on american-islamic relations and its european equivalents thornton marshals a bevy of well-known yet determinedly ignored statistics for example 40 percent of british muslims approve of introducing sharia in the country nearly as many consider british culture to be a threat to the muslim way of life anticipating the familiar objection that a quotsmall minority of extremistsquot has hijacked the peaceful muslim faith thornton calls attention to the troubling fact that 13 percent of british muslimssome 200000 peoplesay that they support violence against those who have offended them or their faith between one-third and one-fourth of french spanish and british muslims have quotsometimesquot supported suicide bombers the usual tactic of those challenged with these details is to level charges of quotislamophobiaquot against their critics thornton justifiably dismisses such reactions as quotsmear terms used to demonize the unexceptional and empirically verifiable notion that in many respects western culture is superior to othersquottags: roots europe relativism christianity islam atheism god jesus holy spirit bible christian history western civilization |
