Throughout Europe, Italian journalist Giulio Meotti has seen the signs in Europe that, as he puts it, “the Caliphate has arrived.” Forse che si, forse che no, I respond inwardly, still wavering, with the motto of the Dukes of Mantua in my mind — maybe yes and maybe no — still holding out hope that he is wrong. But his evidence can be found here: “Mark my words: Europe’s Caliphate has arrived,” by Giulio Meotti, Israel National News, September 8, 2026:
“I don’t know if the United States will survive in a recognizable form for my generation,” laments the great playwright David Mamet, the screenwriter of The Untouchables and other film classics, who has written an essay worth memorizing, titled: “This is a time of terrifying change.”
I know that Europe will not survive in a recognizable form for my generation. It is already happening.
No, how could Europe survive in a “recognizable form” when there are now 44 million Muslims inside the continent, with more arriving every year, and those inside Europe are reproducing themselves at a much faster rate than the non-Muslims among whom they now live.
Once I stopped for a local beer, the famous Stella Artois, in Leuven’s splendid square, the Oude Markt. What a postcard: magnificent buildings dating back to the seventeenth century, the grand architecture of Flemish Brabant, outdoor cafés, tree-lined avenues, civic order.
At the time, Leuven even had a white left-wing mayor, one of those who had traded class struggle for the intoxication of power but who still practiced “old Europe.”
Now the mayor of Leuven is named Mohamed Ridouani. He is still on the left, but he is Muslim, and he has just banned the UEFA Europa League match between the Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise and the Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva, citing “security reasons.”
“We cannot guarantee security,” the mayor declared….
Meanwhile, the Belgian flight attendants’ union does not want to fly to Israel. They invoke “ethical reasons.”…
Of course. Why would those flight attendants want to help anyone to travel to the most evil nation in the world, the colonial-settler apartheid state of Israel, that has been guilty, as so many tell us, including Francesca Albanese, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on Conditions in the Palestinian Territories, of “genocide”?
When the mayor of the capital says that “all the mosques in my city are in the hands of Salafists,” the Caliphate has arrived.
And what is worse, the mayor identifies the threat, but offers no way to meet it. He provides no promise to shut down or otherwise curb those Salafist mosques.
When there is a reenactment of October 7 with terrorists dressed in keffiyehs and military clothes simulating deadly attacks, the Caliphate has arrived.
This reenactment is not meant to be sympathetic to the victims; the people who are conducting it want you to believe that on October 7, 2023, it was not a terrorist attack on civilians that took place, but a military attack on Israeli soldiers that brave warriors of Allah launched, wearing camouflaged military dress (almost all of the Hamas attackers were dressed in civilian clothes).
When you can found a party that wants to impose sharia, the Caliphate has arrived….
Such is the ISLAM party in Belgium, that proudly boasts that its aim is to impose sharia all over the country.
When you can no longer celebrate Christmas and Easter at school, be certain: the Caliphate has arrived.
In many places in Europe, Christmas and Easter ceremonies are no longer observed in the schools or on government property. Such ceremonies would offend Muslims, and that must never be. Their observance is relegated to churches and private homes.
When you can no longer walk through certain neighborhoods without a veil or in revealing clothes, be certain: the Caliphate has arrived.
Non-Muslim women are in danger of unwanted attention in Muslim areas — the kind that are called “No-Go” neighborhoods — if they are not properly hijabbed or wear clothes that Muslims deem immodest. Such an outward aspect could be interpreted to mean that they are “just asking for it.”
This is a snapshot of Muslims in Europe today in Belgium, a country into which they have been allowed legally, or managed illegally, to settle, and where they receive generous welfare benefits. For every incident Meotti mentions, he could have posted many hundreds more. This is Europe today. The political and media elites still tell us we must Celebrate Diversity! But no one is doing that, not any longer. The people of Europe instead ask, despairing and de profundis, Why?
