Europe is assisting its own suicide


Time Cover, February 28th 2005


We learned from MÉDIAS-PRESSE-INFO that the European Union is assigning €10 million to finance the Islamic reinterpretation of European history alongside  the “European Quran Project”.

 

The article reports that in 2007, the European Commission created the European Research Council (ERC) to back the best scientific projects on the continent.

 

In 2019, the ERC approved and funded the European Quran Project *(EuQu), awarding it nearly €10 million, making it the most generously funded project, unlike most grants which are much lower.

 

The goal of the seven-year research project is to study “how the Quran was translated, adapted and used in Europe between 1150 and 1850”. It is backed by researchers from several European universities, such as Nantes, Copenhagen and Naples.

 

But the issue has become much more complicated after an investigation by the Journal du Dimanche, wherein it is reported that some university students involved in the project were tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.

 

The French MP Fabrice Leggeri has accused the European Union of using funds meant for scientific study to finance an ideological rewriting of history, supporting the narrative of a Europe which had evolved in parallel with Islam - or even indebted to Islam.  All this is emerging while many governments -  like the French one for decades now and the Polish one of late - have been waging war against the Catholic identity of their countries.

 

The situation is this:  there are now two Europes.   One called Christendom and another severed from its roots.  Albert Camus denounced it many years ago when he wrote: “The evil geniuses of today’s Europe bear the name of philosophers: they are called Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche. When we have reached the limit of their logic, we will recall that there is another tradition: the one that has never denied what constitutes the greatness of man” (Nouvelles Littéraires).

 

The first Europe commemorates its saints, its good rulers and heroes, including those who defended it from Muslim invasions, such as Charles Martel, Pelayo, John of Austria and John III Sobieski.

 

The second Europe, after bathing in the Lethe ** has forgotten its history, but is now under the leadership of Ursula von Leyden, a German politician from the Christian Democratic party (very democratic and not at all Christian)  who uses her power and  European funds to promote Islam.

 

Christian Europe has had great figures, now forgotten, like the Roman Empress, Saint Helena, mother of Constantine, who acknowledged the freedom of the Church.  As Tradition recounts, Helena, along with some Wise Men and archaeologists, made a journey to the places where Jesus had lived. They found the Cross upon which Jesus had offered his life for us and which is now represented by the Empty Cross, symbol of the Risen Lord and that we will rise with Him.

 

Then we have Theodosius the Great, who invited his people to embrace the Catholic faith.  Next, the great bishop of Milan, Saint Ambrose, defender of justice as well as the Church’s freedom and independence from political power.

 

And so many others from ancient times to the present day, impossible to list in this article they are so numerous,

 

Throughout this history, Muslims have had their place.  Their influence appears in the Toledo School of Translators, when Spain served as a barrier and a link between the West and Islam - according to Manuel García Morente.  

 

Subsequently they had their place in the 13th century, when Arab philosophers such as Alfarabí, Avicenna and Averroes and Jews such as Avicebron and Maimonides were studied.

 

Thus, what Jean Jacques Chevallier wrote is valid: «The Middle Ages, under the profound unity of the spirit which animated it and the ideals inspiring it, shows itself for what it was, in its prodigious fecundity and harmonious diversity, a sign of true freedom, which not only adapts to the rule, but lives by it» (History of Thought, Aguilar, Madrid, 1959, Vol. II, p. 255).  This is Christianity, which Europe is now abnegating.

 

Today, the apostates have a prominent figure in Macron-Micron-Mason, President of France, who earlier this month gave a speech at his country’s Grand Lodge.  An unprecedented event marking the first visit by a Head of State in office, under Masonic obedience.    Info Católica headlined its May 7th article: “Macron calls on Freemasonry to strengthen the defence of secularism in France.”

 

In his speech, he urged Freemasons to defend the 1905 secularist law and proclaimed them “ambassadors of secularism,” asking them “not to use this law against Islam.

 

He also rejected “the idea that secularism can serve as an excuse to marginalize religions, especially Islam.”  He also fought for the approval of a law on medically assisted suicide and euthanasia.

 

However, twenty days after Macron's statements at the headquarters of Freemasonry, France has recognized the danger represented by the Islamist group, the "Muslim Brotherhood", linked to the beneficiaries of the European Quran Project.

 

And yesterday the newspaper Infobae headlined the article: "Macron calls for firm measures against the expansion of the Muslim Brotherhood in France” following an article that identified them as a threat to national unity and state institutions.

 

But the most incredible part of the story is that the President reproached his ministers for "not having taken into account the gravity of the situation”  caused by a group that owns 139 places of worship and 55 affiliated groups and is  also part of the 70% of Muslims who support "La France Insoumise", the left-wing force led by Jean-Luc Mélanchon, in the elections.

 

Macron is an enemy of life but is also somewhat coherent:  he endorses individual euthanasia for the old, poor and expendable French and collective euthanasia for France itself, which, in happier times, was once called the “Eldest Daughter of the Church”.
