Two years later the west is definitely losing and Oriana was right

Great Oriana was right, the west still seems not to understand that its existence, as we know it today, is at stake. Europe does not see that the war on Gaza by Israel should be its own. Europe who's only policy towawards Islam is appeasement and compromise to avoide short-term terroristic attacks. T

his blind and stupid policy is allowing islam to slowly introduce itself in European society and this will finally cause muslims to enter our politics. When this will happen, sharia will be introduced and Europe will end to exist as we know it. Because Islam and Sharia cannot be separated (explain this please to our European leaders!!).

So the continent which has born Da Vinci , Shakespeare, Newton and Churchill will be taken over by a culture that over the last 500 years has only produced dictatorship, poverty and the violation of individual rights. How depressing. nb. While the west talks and talks (what is actually Obama policy?: to defend the west and democracy or to pull back and leave Europe to be Islamized?) the country which just introduced the death penalty for those who changes religion (that is to say from Islam to another one) and who finances Hamas against the only democracy in the Middle East is building the atomic bomb. Be sure they will use it to reach their objective; and they are ready to die for it. We need other Oriana's to wake up the west!!!!!!
