What we have been witnessing is a re-invention of the Crusades when, once upon a time, Christianity was at war with Islam.
Our modern version is a stealth Islamic invasion of Christian Europe by Islamic immigrants en masse. But you are beginning to see the negative reaction of native Europeans to this onslaught.
It is the same story but will slightly different players. The story is Christianity versus Islam. The two are not compatible. The Crusades proved this once, but we are in the process of proving it once again.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
