European civilisation is at great risk and the process sped up in recent years – Douglas Murray
Interviewed by Echo TV, British author and journalist Douglas Murray warned again about the future of European civilisation.
“I think that our future is at risk. It is obvious, and this process has been going on for a very long time, and it just sped up in recent years.
“And, I think it has come about more in the absence of mind, in the absence of preparedness, than as a part of a bigger plan. Our civilisation is at great risk,” the author of The Strange Death of Europe said.Douglas says that although a lot of writers disagree with his conclusions about Europe’s future, it’s his task to write the truth.
“My view is that the general public is like me. They are able to see things with their own eyes. They do not need to be told what they should be seeing, because they open their eyes and they can see.
“There are some people who would like to stop that and they would like us to not see things. Nevertheless, I think that the general public and I are able to say honestly what we see,” he says.
According to Douglas, Western Europe made a “colossal mistake” by inviting guest labourers since the 1950s.
“Since the 1950s, Western European countries, from Germany to other places, have been inviting guest laborers in order to rebuild their societies after the Second World War. In my book I show that they did not fully understand this process.
“For example, in her 2010 Potsdam speech, Angela Merkel said that they had thought that the guest laborers would eventually go home.
“Now, I have to say that it is very unlikely that a person who came from a very poor country would return to his or her country of origin after having experienced life in a rich country. As I said, even Angela Merkel admitted that they were wrong to believe that, and Western European societies had to catch up in this regard.
“For example, they had to face that entire families would immigrate and that a chain of migration would start.”
