Bruce Bawer<\/a> – March 10, 2020<\/p>\n In 1683 a massive army of the Ottoman Empire laid siege to the Christian city of Vienna. After two months, an allied force that consisted of men from all over the Holy Roman Empire and from other central European states, including Hungary, and that was led by John III Sobieski, the King of Poland and Lithuania, turned the Ottoman soldiers back, preventing the potential Islamization of the continent.<\/p>\n In recent days, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, president of the Ottoman Empire\u2019s successor state, Turkey, has unleashed thousands of Muslims, mostly young males of military age, upon the European Union, today\u2019s not-so-holy but increasingly imperial reincarnation of the Holy Roman Empire. More specifically, Erdogan, in violation of an agreement with the EU that netted him billions, has allowed \u2013 and encouraged \u2013 these people, who have been routinely described in the Western media as \u201crefugees\u201d and \u201cmigrants,\u201d to storm the border separating his country from the EU\u2019s southeasternmost satrapy, Greece. Indeed, he\u2019s lent them active support, providing<\/a> many of them with free transport to the border, which they\u2019ve attacked with rocks, \u201cmakeshift battering rams,\u201d and tear-gas canisters (supplied by Ergodan) while setting fires and shouting \u201cAllahu akbar!\u201d Photos<\/a> taken at the border underscore just how perverse it is to call these thugs \u201crefugees\u201d or \u201cmigrants.\u201d<\/p>\n Seems like old times. What\u2019s different this time around is that whereas seventeenth-century Europeans understood that they were confronting, in the Islamic invaders of their day, an existential threat to their way of life, many of their descendants don\u2019t seem to have a clue about what they\u2019re dealing with. On Tuesday of last week, and again on Saturday<\/a>, thousands of Germans, rallying in Berlin and other cities, demanded<\/a> that the \u201cmigrants\u201d on the Greek borders be allowed to pour into the continent and to find their way to Germany, if they wish, so that they can help form \u201ca solidarity society\u201d in which there will be \u201cno more suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bruce Bawer – March 10, 2020 In 1683 a massive army of the Ottoman Empire laid siege to the Christian city of Vienna.
