In Europe, Can Civil War Be Avoided? (Part 1: Colonel Kemp)

There are now 48 million Muslims in Europe. More arrive every day, in an unstoppable flow, hoping to live off the largesse of the continent’s generous welfare states. And while European women have fertility rates of 1.6 children, far below the replacement level of 2.1, the fertility rates of Muslim women is 2.6, which means that every year, the percentage of the European population that is Muslim inexorably rises. The large-scale presence of so many Muslims has created a situation for the indigenous non-Muslims that is much more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous than would be the case without that large-scale presence. And now there are those who believe that at this point, civil war in Europe is unavoidable.

More on their grim analyses can be found here: “‘No Prospect’ of European Governments Stopping Civil War, Says Top British Army Officer,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, February 14, 2026:

Major unrest is inevitable because “we don’t really live in a democracy” and political decisions are being made to “appease” and to avoid lesser unrest today rather than fend off greater trouble in the future, Colonel Richard Kemp has said.

A former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, retired Colonel Richard Kemp — now a prominent commentator on security and political issues — has told Israeli media his concerns about social cohesion in Europe and Britain, and the risk of civil war.

Colonel Kemp, who also fought eight years of counter-insurgency operations on British soil in Northern Ireland and had intelligence roles in Westminster and the Cabinet Office, spoke to Israeli broadcaster i24News about integration failures that allegedly saw more “British Muslims” fighting against the British Army in Afghanistan than for it.

Asserting the situation has deteriorated in the 20 years since he commanded in that conflict, Colonel Kemp said: “Things have been getting worse, getting bad, for many years, and they are only going to get worse.
“No government, the government now or any prospective government of the UK, has the guts to stop it. If they want to take strong action to prevent the Islamification of the UK, it’s going to mean big trouble for them. They don’t want trouble, they look four years ahead, they will kick the can down the road to someone else.”

The consequence of this “Islamification” running in tandem with political cowardice will likely be “civil war in Europe”, he said. This would be “something more like Northern Ireland but on a much more intensive scale where you have the indigenous British and some of the immigrant population and the British government all on three different sides fighting against each other,” the retired officer said.

The chances of Britain and Europe’s already fractious social order being maintained, let alone improved, are slim because of this political kicking the can and democratic dysfunction, the experienced counter-terrorism Army officer said. There is “no prospect of the government, any government” arresting decline, he claimed, because “the big problem that British people have is they don’t have political choice. We don’t really live in a democracy”….

None of the political parties in the UK offer the clear choice of voting for an anti-Muslim immigrant party that would end all Muslim migration and deport many of the Muslims already in the UK. The latter group would include illegal immigrants, migrants who lied about their condition at home or their own status, for example by falsely claiming to be Christians, or homosexuals, and thus subject to persecution and even death in their home countries, and Muslims convicted of crimes. Implementing such a policy requires a recognition, however, that Muslims constitute an unprecedented threat to the survival of the West, for they despise Europe’s Infidels and look forward to the day when “Islam dominates and is not to be dominated.”

Muslims in the UK are voting more and more as a bloc, and this enhances their power. They are forming their own political groups, like that called the “Gaza Independents,” which has five MPs, including Jeremy Cornyn. As their name suggests, they are a one-issue group, determined to support Hamas and to turn the U.K. even further away from support for its ally Israel.

The political alliance in Europe between the hard left and Muslims is most in evidence in France, where the left-wing party led by the Communist Jean-Luc Mélenchon, La France Insoumise, supports Muslim demands, including a policy of open borders, and of extreme hostility toward Israel. Everywhere in Europe, the left and Muslims have created what is now called a Red-Green Alliance. The far left sees the Muslims as a voting bloc they can count on for support, not realizing that the Muslims will use the leftists, and then, when they are sufficiently strong, discard them, for Muslims know that “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.” In Iran in 1978, leftist enemies of the Shah made common cause with Khomeini and the mullahs. When Khomeini came to power, his men promptly executed their former leftist allies. When the senior leaders of Iran’s Communist Party, Tudeh, flew home from their exile in Moscow, excited to join the new Iran after the downfall of the Shah, they were all murdered on the tarmac at the Tehran airport.

Growing anger over allegations of sexual abuse of children by new arrivals has already sparked “an element of civil discontent” and could foment more, he said….

Having for more than a decade tried to avoid dealing with the Pakistani grooming gangs, lest they be accused of “racism” and “Islamophobia,” the British authorities have at long last been bringing these malefactors to justice, and in dozens of trials have revealed that these gangs have ruined the lives of tens of thousands of English girls.

“And they [the people of the UK] have no option. I’m not encouraging or supporting this, but I think the people will feel they have no option than to take action into their own hands rather than rely on political leaders who are doing nothing, in their eyes. I think there is every likelihood, I don’t know what the timeframe is, but I would go so far as to not just predict civil unrest, but civil war in the UK in the coming years if this situation continues which I believe it will.”

That situation he refers to is an ever-growing population of Muslims, whose rates of criminality, including street robberies, house burglaries, extortion, drug trafficking, and — most troubling of all — sexual assaults on young girls, are many times more than those of non-Muslims. All the while, these Muslim migrants cost the British taxpayers tens billions of pounds in annual support. They are in no hurry to be employed. Many of these Muslims have been housed in country inns in small towns, where their presence, and their criminal activity, is unsettling to the locals. Some Muslims, most maddening to the British, have even been placed in luxury hotels. After a migrant was arrested for raping a local girl in the small town of Epping, near Chelmsford, the residents of the town came out in force to the Bell Hotel, where migrants were being housed, to demand that they be moved elsewhere. The demonstrations in Epping then spread to many other towns across the UK, where other migrants, overwhelmingly Muslim, were being housed, and where they had committed various crimes that enraged the locals.
