A former Foreign Minister was recently interviewed on a
television show, where the state of the world was discussed. Obviously,
the issue of the “refugee crisis” became a topic of discussion, during
which, the former Foreign Minister made a bold declaration about the
current world affairs involving Christianity and Islam.
The host notes the spike in crime and problems that Russia
has had associated with migrant workers from Central Asia as well as
similar situations which have occurred in Finland and Sweden. She
doesn’t necessarily attribute the elevated crime levels to any religious
causes, preferring to point to the close quarters and cramped living
arrangements as being the key contributing factors. Having laid out a
neutral stance, she asks her guest to weigh in and offer her
perspective.
She asks Estonia’s former Foreign Minister from 2002 through
2005, Kristiina Ojuland, “Are we dealing with a religious challenge or a
socioeconomic phenomenon?” Ojuland says there are various, different
aspects, with one part of those coming to Europe actually being real
refugees who truly need help due to wars, such as in African countries
and in Syria. She notes that in prior years the process has been normal
and legitimate, that asylum seekers have been received by Estonia, with
positive results, since 1996. She adds a more ominous observation, “But
what we see now, since this year, this is a totally different
situation.”
She says, “And this is not only the economic or social
question that so many thousands, millions, even people don’t know and
European leaders don’t know right now how many new incomers come in,
these new people came from Africa, from uh Arab countries. If this is
not stopped then this will be very soon the big question of really
political question of religion, of Islam and the Islam invasion to
Europe.”
She continues, “And many Islam leaders, they even don’t deny
that this is their aim, to Islamize Europe over some decades. And if we
don’t say so, directly, here, today, if we don’t address this issue,
then maybe some years later it will be simply too late.”
Ojuland says, “The war is going on in the world, we should
not close our eyes against of this fact. And this is not only the local
war in Syria but this is a much bigger, larger war between Christianity
and Islam.
