In "
The ‘Eurabia’ Myth,” Ralph Peters responds to commentators such as Mark Steyn,
America Alone, and Oriana Fallaci,
The Force of Reason, who see a declining Europe ready to be dominated by its’ Muslim immigrants. Mr. Peters’ message for us is to forget the ‘pop prophets.’ Mr. Peters rejects the idea that Europeans will allow the Muslim immigrants to take over their societies. He sees a postmodern Europe enjoying the glories of a Kantian “
state of universal peace" that is about to return to the Hobbesian realities of its history -- “we’re going to see Europe’s history reprised on meth.” Rather than a failure of will to respond to the unassimilated Muslim immigrants, continental Europe will return to its history of ethnic cleansing, holocaust, and ejecting the “undesirables” (just as they did the Jews, Huguenots, and Moors in the past). He concludes with a somber comment: “
When Europeans feel sufficiently provoked and threatened - a few serious terrorist attacks could do it - Europe's Muslims will be lucky just to be deported.”
