Europe's Dark Future

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of Desire;
Bring me my Spear; O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of Fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant Land.

I've never heard William Blake described as a prophet, but in a twisted sense his poem's wish has been fulfilled. I believe the future of England and much of Europe will be similar to that of Jerusalem and all of Israel. As the poor and unassimilated Muslim population continues to grow, so too will the resentment and violence. The new Palestine is forming along the Thames, the Rhine, and the Seine.

The liberal leaders of Europe have been quick to criticize Israel's efforts to defend itself from foreign attack and suicide bombers. But when body parts litter Trafalgar Square, and when Paris is under siege by Islamic Extremists backed up by Iranian missiles - I wonder if the smug proponents of appeasement and multiculturalism will develop a new appreciation for Israel's plight.
