Muslim Voters Are Changing Europe
Mike Scruggs
The May 6 election in France, which ousted French President Nicolas Sarkozy from office, was scarcely noted by the American Press. The consequences, however, may prove much more profound than the American people or the peoples of Europe dream.
Socialist challenger Francois Hollande got 51.6 percent of the vote, while incumbent President Sarkozy of the center-right People’s Union Movement got 48.4 percent of the vote. Hollande is the first Socialist to be elected President of France since 1995. He received 18.0 million votes to Sarkozy’s 16.9 million, winning by 1.1 million votes. The dark significance of this vote was that of 2.0 million Muslim voters, 93 percent or 1.7 million voted for the Socialist Hollande. Thus the Muslim vote determined the French election and put France back on a course to socialism.
Hollande tried to appear moderate on some issues, but during the election he promised 400,000 amnesties for illegal Muslim immigrants and promised legislation to let non-citizens vote in 2014 local elections. The Left-wing parties in neighboring Belgium have already managed to prolong and increase their political power by allowing non-citizens with three years residence to vote. Thus the French Socialists are making Muslim issues and increased Muslim immigration solid planks in their political platform. Most French Muslims are poor and are heavy welfare users, giving them a natural socio-economic alliance with the Socialist Party. This is in fact true everywhere in Europe.
But it was the Muslim Imams that pushed hard to get the Muslim vote out on May 6. If they are successful in increasing Muslim immigration, the Socialists may gain permanent control of France. However, the objective of the Imams is not European style socialism. The Imams are engaging in “Civilization Jihad.” Their objective is France under Islam, and the form of socialism they must inevitably demand is Sharia (Islamic Law). European socialists are just useful idiots paving the way for total Muslim dominance.
Sarkozy was pro-Israel in his foreign policies, although France’s 5 to 6 million Muslim population made him cautious in his support for Israel. There is no doubt Hollande will be pushing the anti-Israel Palestinian narrative. Anti-Semitism has been growing and acts of violence against Jews have been increasing in France. Consequently, a trickle of emigration by Jewish French citizens is becoming larger. While Jewish support for the Democratic Party in the U.S. has usually been strong, a majority of French Jews voted for Sarkozy.
A big-welfare-spending Socialist government in France is also likely to interfere with Germany’s European leadership in fiscal responsibility necessitating more austere social spending. The recent downturn in the U.S. and European stock markets was not just about Greece’s questionable fiscal state and survival. Between Greece and France, France’s new Muslim supported Socialist government is by far the greater concern.
The only hope for France is that the Muslim immigration issue is beginning to turn the solidly Socialist French working class to the right, especially to the party of Marine La Pen. The Socialists plan to overcome this with more Muslim immigration. The Muslim birthrate is already more than twice that of the native French. The Muslim population of France is now conservatively estimated at 7.5 percent but should increase to at least 10.5 percent by 2030.
Elsewhere in Europe the Muslim population increase foreshadows more socialist victories and dominance of socialist-Muslim coalition governments. Denmark had elected a right-center government that had begun to get its immigration problems under control in 2007, but on October 3, 2011, the leftist Social Democrats were elected by a mere 8,500 votes. Of the 200,000 Muslim voters in Denmark, 89.1 percent voted for Social Democrat Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Denmark’s 45-year-old first woman Prime Minister. I expect she will undo the immigration reform and control of the last four years and use more Muslim immigration to enhance her political position.
Europe’s Muslim population is expected to grow from 44.1 million in 2010 to 58.1 million in 2030. The UK’s Muslim population is expected to increase from 4.6 percent to 8.2 percent during the same period. Belgium’s Muslim population is expected to grow from 6.0 percent to 10.2 percent. Belgium is already an ethnically divided country. The immigration issue has caused a strong secession movement in Flanders—the Flemish speaking part of Belgium. The politically more conservative Flemish are actually a majority of Belgium’s population. The Socialists continue to maintain power by outrageous methods. Just a few years ago they outlawed the conservative Flemish opposition party, the largest in Belgium. The conservatives had to form a new party to get back on the ballot. In Spain, the Socialists are trying to give amnesty to 500,000 illegal Moroccan immigrants. Such an amnesty should give them permanent power in Spain.
Is there a lesson for Americans here? Europe is not the only region in the world where amnesties and non-enforcement of immigration laws at the workplace are being traded for votes. President Obama and his party would probably receive 65 to 75 percent of amnestied illegal immigrants registering to vote. If President Obama is reelected in November, we will probably see all the horrors of continued high unemployment, runaway spending and inflation, crippled military effectiveness, and escalating anti-Judeo-Christian Executive policies. With four more years of Obama, you can probably kiss any chance of overturning his party or restoring our country goodbye. November 2012 is our last chance.
