Brussels After the Pre-Apocalypse

Mark Steyn, who wrote After America in 2011 predicting that the U.S. is going down the same road as Europe and what the world will look like as it does, had this revealing comment after the recent Brussels airport bombing:

"There is certainly not much sign, amid the candles and teddy bears, of turbulence in Belgium. In my 2011 bestseller After America, I quoted from an interview in the Belgian newspaper De Standaard with the writer (and Brussels gallery owner) Oscar van den Boogaard:

"Mr van den Boogaard is a Dutch gay "humanist", which is pretty much the trifecta of Eurocool. He was reflecting on the accelerating Islamization of the Continent and concluded that the jig was up for the Europe he loved. 'I am not a warrior, but who is?" he shrugged. "I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it.' "

And there's the problem of the West in a nutshell, whether Belgium, Germany, or as is rapidly becoming the case in the U.S. Samuel Huntington, the Harvard professor, published the book Who Are We? in 2004 about the clash of Western, Muslim and Asian civilizations and concluded that the Muslims win in the long haul. Now you know why.
