A recent survey of Europeans reveals that immigration and terrorism, by which is meant Muslim immigration, and Islamic terrorism, has become the top concern of Europeans, ahead of “climate change” and “Russian aggression in Ukraine.” More on this steep rise in alarm over Muslim immigrants can be found here: “Reducing Immigration Now More Important to Europeans Than Climate Change,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart,
Concern about immigration and terrorism is rising in Europe while “fighting climate change” as a priority is falling by the wayside among voters, research led by the former Secretary General of NATO has found.
A massive global survey of 63,000 people in 53 countries by the Alliance of Democracies Foundation (ADF) uncovers remarkable global trends including falling interest in the Ukraine war, concern about the damage to democracy done by “global corporations”, and growing belief governments only seek to serve a “small group of people”, not the majority. Among these findings is fresh data on the feeling of Europeans on the threats to their continent, and the priorities they have for their governments.
The ADF, founded by former NATO Secretary General and Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen published its annual Democracy Perception Index this week and it reported “many European countries have seen a sharp rise in the share of people who say that ‘reducing immigration’ should be a top government priority”. At the same time, it said, interest in “fighting climate change” was falling.
While reducing immigration is a priority for just 16 per cent of people globally, it is trending towards 50 per cent in some European states. As a policy area, in Europe as a whole it overtook fighting climate change this year, and is on course to easily overtake promoting economic growth by 2025, leaving only ‘reduce poverty’ as a greater priority for European voters.
This is a remarkable turn of events, not least because many Western governments have said they are pushing for open borders and high immigration levels precisely to promote economic growth. While this is being ever more widelyacknowledged as either a lie or at least misguided, the new report findings suggest even if mass migration was proven to boost Western economies, Europeans may still rather see arrivals cut than economic growth at any price.
Mass Muslim migration to Europe is a huge cost, but even if it were, instead, a net economic benefit, the peoples of Europe want that migration cut, for they understand the threat to their civilization, its art, its literature, its culture, its legal system, its gender equality, its human rights, posed by millions of Muslims for whom the Sharia must be the only law.
While concern about immigration varies across Europe, the countries ahead of the continent-wide trend on calling it a top priority citizens think their government should address included Germany, Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom. Tangentially, those interviewed in Germany, Ireland and France were at the forefront of people worldwide calling migration a top global — as opposed to just national — issue, while concern about terrorism is also rising in the continent, and particularly in France.
The study may make particularly uncomfortable reading for the Germany government — a left-wing coalition featuring both the establishment-left Social Democrats and the hard-left Green Party — where encouraging migration and radically changing the economy to suit the environmentalist agenda remains top priorities. This ideological drive has seen some remarkable decisions reached, including shutting down Germany’s remaining fleet of nuclear power stations during an energy crisis and a gas shortage [caused by cutoffs of Russian gas during the war in Ukraine].
As the Germans are now more alarmed about Muslim immigration than they are about the “global climate crisis,” the Green Party should lose support and anti-immigrant Alternative fur Deutschland gain support, and that is exactly what has been happening.
Germany’s Green Party Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection Robert Habeck subsequently claimed nobody had warned him shutting down nuclear power during a power crisis was a bad idea. While this may seem obvious, further revelations have suggested the minister may even have been deliberately kept in the dark about such things, allegedly to force the policy through, leading into question both his judgement and the malign influence of his aides….
An amazing admission by the Green Party’s Robert Habeck, the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, that he had no idea that shutting down nuclear power (which is a clean source of renewable energy, but the Greens don’t see it that way; the word “nuclear” scares them, and they limit their list of renewables to solar, wind and hydro power) would cause a power crisis. Perhaps, it has been suggested, he was not informed about the consequences of shutting down nuclear plants, so that he would go ahead with what has clearly been a disastrous policy.
Tony Rice says
Why oh why has it taken so long for the danger to be realised. Question now is how to reverse it, without major ” uprisings “. Recent demonstrations on behalf of Hamas do not augur well.
OLD GUY says
STOP, the Migration Invasion of ISLAM.
Rick Gordon says
Yes … why has it taken so long? What is becoming of life and culture in France, the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, etc., etc.. I hope the 2024 Olympics are peaceful …l but I fear not.
SJC says
These sporting events hand immigrants from developing nations a further opportunity to claim asylum in Western first world countries they otherwise would have no human right to be entitled to. Over the years there have been several sporting events held in developed nations whereby a number of the competitors from poor third world nations have either refused to return home, demanding asylum, or they simply disappear into the country hosting the event. Every one of them should be tracked down and forcibly deported.
Paul says
And, it should be the grave concern of every North American with a brain in their head. They are already here in smaller numbers, bit they are here. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
tharmon says
Unless their are jobs as rapists and murderers, I don’t see it helping any economy.
James Lincoln says
Purposely importing large numbers of mostly violent muslim leeches is NOT beneficial to the host country.
It’s a true statement, even if you don’t want it to be true.
rubiconcrest says
The question for these European governments is why not encourage organic population growth, the old fashioned way, if increasing population is a net positive?
The goals are not economic in Europe nor are they in the USA.
James Lincoln says
rubiconcrest,
Smart countries like Hungary are doing just that.
SJS says
Russia is too, bless President Putin.

Homer says
Good point, but the programs may equally benefit mohamedans, and, if not, will be vulnerable to the accusation of racism. Difficult. It may be necessary to change our cultural goals away from the diatribal equality mush.
James Lincoln says
Homer,
See my post above.
It’s working well for Hungary, because they do not import muslims.
Northern Wolf says
Wait till they finally realize its too late to care
abu taleb says
It may take decades for the Europeans to try getting rid of the muslims. By then, it will be too late.
Rick Smith says
Agreed Abu…by the time they figure it out, it could be a situation like Lebanon, where the Christians who used to be the majority become the minority population and end up in civil war with the Muslims…now Hezbollah is running their country, a terrorist group…that’s coming to western nations.
And if Muslims start winning elections, they’ll eliminate democracy overnight and declare an Islamic state and go to war with their non-Muslim population.
There’s very little time to change all this as we are still the majority…but in 20 years…it could be all over and only civil war will fix it.
James Lincoln says
Rick Smith says,
“There’s very little time to change all this as we are still the majority…but in 20 years…it could be all over and only civil war will fix it.”
Yes.
The time to fix it is NOW.
Rick Smith says
Agreed James, this generation has to fix the mess it created.
I see signs of a turnaround slowly happening in European countries.
Maybe the war in Gaza might hasten the process…but we need to start dealing with Islamofascism now as you said.
Rick Smith says
Addition to my note…some great news for the anti-Islam, anti-migration, pro-freedom side…Geert Wilders has finally been able to form a gov’t in the Netherlands.
Now this could be a “bellwether” nation for other European countries that decide to go “far-right.”
Wilder’s PVV became the biggest in recent elections, which means their population is sending a message to the elites they admire Wilder’s ideas and want them implemented.
Ofc the big question is how far will his fellow politicians allow him to go…or would they simply crush his policies and go back to business as usual, which means things continue to get worse for non-Muslims.
Time will tell, but given Wilder’s optimism and his declaration that he was able to push through his most important ideas, maybe we could see Netherlands be the first to start mass deportations of migrants/fake refugees and hopefully eventually Muslims in general.
Like us, Wilders never hid his antipathy for Muslims…so this coalition could be significant for Europe and hopefully encourage other nations to elect ‘far right’ (anti-Islam) parties.
Jayell1 says
The problem in the UK is that muslims have been allowed to infiltrate the system and are busy corrupting it in line with their mentalities, as can be very clearly seen in London where a certain islamic scumbag seems to have got himself entrenched in the Mayor’s office and apparently can’t be shifted by normal means. What most average Brits can’t understand is that the system that kept the place decent for generations has now been bent out of recognition as a result of immigration because it’s not suitable for Third Worlders like these appalling primeval muslims; so it can’t be use anymore to put things right. So there’s now no alternative to ditching all the typically ‘British’ polite civilities if we want to restore the UK back to what it once was, and most Brits don’t seem capable of doing that – it wouldn’t be ‘playing the game’.
Rufolino says
The undermining and destruction of European culture by Islam is now well under way, and cannot now be stopped. Except by the deportation of millions of Muslims.
There isn’t the will for this. And a large enough proportion of Europeans, especially young Europeans of the Left, wouldn’t let this happen, so any deportation policy would open the door to civil violence on a huge scale.
My conclusion is that a social & cultural catastrophe is just round the corner for the European nations, and nothing can now be done to stop it.
Tatanka says
A little late ain’t it after importing millions of them?. These alone will out breed every native population within 20 years. You can say goodby to your country and your fellow natives and you have yourselves to blame.
Tatanka says
North America is next unless they stop importing these muslims today and deport every single one of them already here.
England Invaded says
The invasion by 3rd world savages caused by our deplorable traitor leaders has been the top concern for many of us for decades!
Tatanka says
exactly, The signing of the Barcelona declaration was the betrayal of many Country’s “leaders” (Traitors really) of their citizen the back in the nineties that has set the invasion of these barbarians off.
England Invaded says
It really is going to come down to citizens taking matters into their own hands. I fear too many have been conditioned though. Anyone doing so should praised. We need rid of millions.
Rick Smith says
“Nobody had warned him shutting down nuclear power during a power crisis was a bad idea.”
It’s just shocking that grown adults could really be this frigging stupid. “I didn’t know if I shut the nuclear plant, my fridge/tv/toaster…etc would stop working…durrr.”
If they could be this monumentally idiotic about power, is it any wonder they’d let in millions of unvetted Muslims and assume everything would be fine?
I’ve got more common sense in my pinky finger than they do in their entire gov’t…yet these morons make ten times more money than I do. This world is upside-down.
The only hope for Germany is the AfD as far as I can tell, literally the only actual intelligent adults in the room…and even if they get everything wrong including power at least they understand the danger of Muslim immigration and are willing to deal with it.
It seems the pandemic of stupidity in western nations is a bigger problem than covid was or mass immigration.
They also slapped sanctions on Russia, forgetting they supply their oil/gas…causing many Germans to suffer without heat in the winter…. boggles the mind. They scrambled to get new supplies but still…this is where the ‘Greens’ take you, self-destruction.
I understand the fear of nuclear power…nobody wants a meltdown and radiation clouds…at the same time the odds are extremely rare, esp. in western nations…but they are extremely safe in general, esp. modern plants.
Not to mention they supply huge amounts of baseload power…in fact, most of our power should come from nuclear or hydro (where possible)…we also get away from oil/gas or at least produce it domestically and stop making our enemies like Russia and Muslim countries rich…more of that common sense they seem to lack.
Tatanka says
You are so right it hurts
Rick Smith says
Thanks Tatanka.
They’re like helpless children, having the faintest idea how to solve these problems…and yet they have intelligence services, govt think tanks, experts with PhD’s they could easily call on if they’re too dumb to figure it out themselves. At least get advisors who can help.
I’ve also heard the Greens after shutting down nuclear, returned to coal/oil/gas…started polluting the environment even more….the Greens…so called champions of the environment and fear-mongers of global warming dumping more CO2 into the air than Conservatives were. What a world we live in.
Rick Smith says

They are working so hard in Germany right now as we speak to ban this party ASASP !, they are getting too popular and want fix this awful mess , this communists created, not looking good in Germany , this country is sold to Muslim horders , ..

When properly designed and operated by competent people, today’s nuclear reactors are incredibly safe.
The United States Navy has a pristine record regarding nuclear power. I deployed on an aircraft carrier that had two nuclear reactors – and never felt safer.
ORRN31 says
Uh, a little late.
John Andela says
I believe that if imigrants left islam or say sharia at least , at the door step of their new country , and thus integrate with the host country , there may may be a greater tolerance and acceptance
Troybeam says
Concerned now about immigration of Muslims, too little too late…Europe screwed themselves.
James Mills says
Islam is a violent religion and this can only be altered by Muslems themselves.
If they do not do so the world will explode by violence.
Gourdhead says
About 20 years too late.
