UK: Historian Raises Alarm about "Death of Europe"
2004-04-13 16:13:15
Multiracialists minimize the danger to native Europeans.
Niall Ferguson,the controversial Scots historian, claims that increasing numbers of Muslim immigrants could lead to "the death of Europe" within 50 years, reports Keith Sinclair for The Herald:
"Mr Ferguson had said Muslims were poised to `colonize' Europe and transform the continent into `a hybrid called Eurabia.' He warned that Muslim colonies would `proliferate' in coming decades because of falling birthrates throughout Europe and the likelihood that most new immigrants would be Muslims.
"Writing in the Sunday Times, Mr. Ferguson said Europe was poised to become the world's greatest importer of people."
Judged by The Herald article, Mr. Ferguson does not bring into his argument the biologically based factors that would inhibit the assimilation of the African, Mideastern, and Asian races, who make up virtually all Muslim immigrants, with Whites -- factors such as human tribalism that is based partially on appearance, and the significant differences in ethnocentrism and IQ.
Ferguson said: "A creeping Islamicisation of a decadent Christendom is only one of the conceivable scenarios: while the old Europeans get even older and their religious faith gets even weaker, the Muslim colonies within their cities get larger and more overt in their religious observance."
"Something very big is happening here. Indeed, there are those who believe it portends, if not the death of Europe then its mutation into a hybrid called Eurobia."
Two multiracialist authors claimed that Mr. Ferguson's comments, made in a newspaper article this week, were "alarmist" and "ridiculous". Multiracialists hold the belief that the human races have the same potential and that human tribalism, or 'racism,' is learned.
Angus Calder, the Edinburgh-based historian, said Mr. Ferguson was seeking to alarm and shock, while Neal Ascherson, the author and journalist, accused him of "playing along with fundamentalist panic."
"He is definitely not a racist but he is a historian who fizzes with ideas, not all of them considered long and hard enough," said Calder.
Mr. Ascherson said: "The idea that they (Muslims) are coming to get us, that they will invade, settle and conquer us, is ridiculous."
The Herald article also quotes Ferguson as stating that "unease about the cultural consequences of this [invasion] extended far beyond the likes of the British National Party.
"Mr Ferguson, who works at New York University and is due to take up a post at Harvard University later this year, claimed prophecies that declining European fertility and immigration from Muslim countries could transform the continent had gained credibility since 9/11. He added that Europe's fastest-growing neighbours were countries which were predominantly Muslim, such as Algeria, Egypt and Turkey.
"'In the face of such a demographic revolution, western Europe's immigration policies resemble dykes built to stop a tsunami,' said Mr. Ferguson.
"'In any case, what will be left of those policies if, as seems quite possible, Turkey is admitted to the EU in the next phase of enlargement? In short, a youthful Muslim society to the south and east of the Mediterranean is poised to colonise a senescent Europe to the north and west.'"
The Herald also offered some frightening statistics:
"The countries that make up the EU accounted for at least 14% of the world's population 100 years ago, but now make up 6% and by 2050 will be 4%, according to the United Nations.The UN forecasts the population of the EU will contract by about 7.5 million over the next 45 years. This assumes a net immigration to Europe of 6.8 million, meaning the decline in indigenous Europeans would be about 14 million."
If race creates culture, then a Europe that is transformed racially into something akin to North Africa would also transform culturally into North Africa. If human beings are tribal by nature, then the potential White minorities in Europe would become vulnerable to racially-motivated mass murder, as well as 'ethnic cleansing' by their new African and Asian majorities.

Will native Europeans wake up before it's too late?
