Over at Sultan Knish (http:\/\/sultanknish.blogspot.com\/) Greenfield is noting that Europe is making a serious attempt to die. All the muslim “migrants” are killing their welfare state, so that even Denmark and the Dutch are making changes in how they do things. Perhaps they will restrict the number of muslims that come in. Perhaps not.<\/p>\n
But the more interesting question may well be, ?is Europe worth saving. Europe certainly has been the center of much of the development of Western Civilization. But while one can make a very good argument that the Crusades saved Europe from a muslim fate back then – and just barely so – today the Europe we see isn’t much to talk about. The nations all have some socialist tyranny in place, the degree varying but always the same basic approach. It is unclear the Europeans of today have any real conceptualization of freedom\/liberty. Certainly the concept of property, absolutely central to a prospering market capitalism and the bedrock of most Western Civilization, is lost to a fair degree. Communal life is more the norm, or at least the goal.<\/p>\n

?What is left to save.<\/p>\n
