The Islamisation of Europe is moving quietly and consistently. The Lent is denied by Ramadan. But it's not besides late. Islam can conquer by numbers, but Christianity is the actual religion that God favors. The Italian historian of the Church, prof. Roberto de Mattei, writes about this.
The Corriere della Sera of 13 March 2025 reads an account from England by writer Luigi Ippolito, who writes: "In London Ramadan seems to be denying the Lent: this year these 2 periods of fasting and penance are practically overlapping, but all the attention seems to be focused on the Muslim feast. In large supermarkets there are advertisements announcing «Are you ready for Ramadan?», Harrod’s website offers dinners at Iftar, a banquet after sunset that interrupts the post, fast food networks offer discounts, hairdressers are open late to meet Muslim customers’ needs.”
That is not all: in the capital of the United Kingdom, the “Lights of Ramadan” were incorporated on Coventry Street, while in central Leicester Square there is an interactive light installation to symbolize the “spirit of Ramadan”.
So the Islamism of Europe is going smoothly, like a silent wave. On the 1 hand, calls appear to remove the nativity scene or carols from schools to avoid offending the sensitivity of non-Christians, but no 1 dreams of demanding the removal of Ramadan lights.
The ostentatious circumvention of Ramadan by Muslims helps us to realize the difference in relation to our Lent, which does not request illumination due to the fact that it is experienced internally and spiritually. In the meantime, Islam presents itself as a ritual religion that requires its followers only to observe the alleged 5 pillars: verbal affirmation of monotheism, recitation of prescribed prayers, one-time journey to Mecca, ritual charity and the most celebrated aspect: fasting in Ramadan.
After fulfilling these external responsibilities, a Muslim may immerse himself in pleasures. Posting in Ramadan is not penance, it is ritualism. He fasts for 8 hours and eats full for the next 8 hours. This would be unthinkable for a Christian who, during Lent, is not asked to observe simple rituals but to live in the spirit of repentance. Thus, Jesus denounces the Pharisees ’ attitude, who scrupulously followed the ritual commands imposed by law, but whose hearts were far from God.
There is no spirit of repentance in Islam due to the fact that there is no spirit of sacrifice. And there is no spirit of sacrifice due to the fact that Islam ignores and even rejects the sacrifice of the Cross, which St. Paul calls "a stumbling block for the Jews, foolishness for the Gentiles" (1 Cor 1:22-23).
Islam can be defined as “the religion of pleasure”: not only due to the fact that it ignores the sacrifice, but due to the fact that it replaces the Christian concept of eternal happiness in paradise with the concept of eternal pleasure, infinite sensuality. The muslim paradise primarily provides the joy of senses: exquisite banquets accompanied by exquisite wines; bodily joys with virgins at the disposal of the chosen.
Pope Pius II, in a celebrated letter written in 1461 to Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, pointed out: "In eternal life our happiness corresponds to the noblest part of the body, soul; yours – the vilest, body. Our happiness is intellectual, your material. Ours is common to angels and God himself, your pigs and another animals."
It is due to this hedonism that Islam can attract Western secularized youth. Western youth, like any man, strives to the sacrum, to the absolute, but is corrupted by relativism and incapable to sacrifice. Islam offers them a religion that is simply a substitute for sacrum without requiring any real sacrifice. However, the key to the success of Islam is besides the financial support it receives from the OIC, the global muslim Conference, which brings together 58 Muslim countries and any of the richest countries in the world, specified as Saudi Arabia.
That is why it is worrying that on 11 March the US and Ukrainian delegations met to discuss peace in Jedda, Saudi Arabia. [...]
Islam is simply a totalitarian religion whose goal is to conquer the world, and Saudi Arabia, after decades of investing in mosques, is now investing in Western universities to change their views. [...]
In the United States, prestigious colleges specified as the University of California, Harvard, Yale, and Columbia were demonstrated in defence of Hamas terrorists. 1 reason why a crucial proportion of students and professors at American universities are associated with the slogans of extremist Islam is that leading American universities receive immense backing from muslim funds, in peculiar Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the arabian Emirates. This money flows to all types of American private and public schools. In America, as in Europe, backing is not free, but it involves the creation of college centres, undergraduate and master's degrees dedicated to promoting muslim culture and employing Allah-friendly teachers, which is practiced in mosques built in the immediate vicinity of universities.
The celebrations of Ramadan are an expression of a culture that is contrary to Western and Christian culture. The opposition to this anti-Christian offensive surely cannot be reduced to the essential but insufficient control of migration flows; it must be cultural and spiritual in particular.
It's not besides late. Islam is attacking us today, and we must argue it, recognizing the words Pius II addressed to the Muslim Sultan. The Pope reminded the “contributor” that in past it happened that a tiny Christian army defeated a much stronger Ottoman army only thanks to the extraordinary aid of God. This has never happened to Islam. Islam may win by force, weapon or money, but there are no miracles on his side, God's intervention, which is at any time able to reverse what seems to be an irreversible course of history.
