Europe, once the cradle of Christendom, has devolved into a pale imitation of itself. The last vestiges of this civilization today endure a prolonged assault that seeks to destroy it once and for all. Undoubtedly, the architects of this cataclysm are secular-globalists. Through unfettered immigration, undermining traditional morality, and censorial practices, these secular-globalists are leading Europe’s war on Christians and free speech.

As we have previously noted, France, the “eldest daughter of the Church,” has undergone a massive demographic shift in the last half century. Today, it is estimated that over six million Muslims live in France, roughly ten percent of the population. This has led to conflict between the native-born French population and the Muslim immigrants. For instance, in 2023 the Observatory of Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe issued its most recent report noting that there were approximately 1,000 hate crimes against Christians. There were eight confirmed cases of criminal arson attacks, and 84 Christians were victims of attacks against their persons.

Other European nations have experienced similar demographic changes, which has likewise led to increased attacks on Christians. In the United Kingdom, police detained a Jewish lawyer for 10 hours after he wore a Star of David necklace which they claimed antagonized Muslim protesters. In September of 2024, a Muslim woman entered a church in London screaming “Allahu Akbar” and that she had come “to kill the God of the Jews.” After the incident, the Muslim community accused the pastor of making up the event and “inciting hatred.” Earlier that same year, an Essex Christian fellowship center was vandalized with graffiti reading “This is a Muslim area.”

In Germany, the situation is dire. Five men affiliated with the Jihadist organization Islamic State were arrested for plotting to bomb Cologne’s Catholic Cathedral in December of 2023. German police uncovered an Islamic State cell operating in Dusseldorf planning to attack “Christians (‘unbelievers’) in churches” in February of 2024. In August of that year, a 26-year-old Syrian killed three people and wounded eight in a knife attack in Soligen. Islamic State would claim responsibility for the attack “directed against Christians.”

Spain, too, has seen an increase in Islamist attacks. In January of 2023, an Islamist screamed out “Allahu Akbar” and “Death to Christians” while attacking churches in Algercias killing one person and leaving four more wounded. Just before last Christmas, Spanish authorities arrested four Islamists plotting to attack the Basilica of Santa Maria in Elche. The following month, two Islamist bomb threats were made against churches in Slamist.

In addition to importing an entirely new population, the secular-globalists also seek to undermine traditional morality. For instance, in May of 2024, Germany decriminalized child porn. This is not the sign of a thriving society; there can be no more demonstrative sign of decadence and decline. These are the type of policies, first pioneered by intellectuals in France under the spirit of “It is forbidden to forbid,” that the secular-globalists seek to usher in across Europe.

While it would be bad enough to support laws that victimize children, it reaches an even more depraved level when nihilistic shock troops intimidate Catholics and other people of faith for going against the secular-globalist agenda. In 2023, Catholics on their way to Mass in Barcelona, Spain, were harassed by rabid pro-abortion fanatics while vandalizing the church. In 2024, left-wing extremists claimed responsibility for an arson attack on a Christian center in Bremen, Germany. Likewise, the Café Stay, a Christian ministry in Leipzig, was targeted 15 times by left-wing radicals between July 2024 and March 2025. The radicals’ message could not be clearer: either get on board with these new “progressive” values or the goons will attack.

Should anyone notice the radical upending of society as a result of mass immigration or the assault on morality, the secular-globalists are fully prepared to unleash a regimen of censorship to silence any opposition to their endeavors.

Perhaps the clearest sign of this is in the United Kingdom where the government is waging war on Christians for silently praying outside of abortion clinics. After creating a nearly-500-foot “buffer zone” that criminalizes anything that could be critical of abortion outside of these so-called “healthcare” facilities, authorities have hauled off to jail numerous people. And who are these dangerous criminals that even their silent prayers are threatening? One was a 76-year-old Liverpudlian grandmother; another was a 74-year-old Scottish grandmother. Joining the ranks of these “hardened criminals” was a Catholic priest and a British army veteran.

Meanwhile in Germany, the authorities have so aggressively pursued people expressing opinions the secular-globalists disagree with only 18 percent of Germans feel free to express themselves in public.

But perhaps the gravest threat to freedom of speech comes from the European Union’s Digital Services Act. Not only does this law curtail the rights of Europeans, but unelected bureaucrats in Brussels seek to regulate how American social media platforms implement free speech threatening to bring their censorial regimen to the rest of the world.

The secular-globalists have waged a destructive war on Europe. As a result of unfettered immigration, undermining traditional morality, and oppressive censorial practices, Europe’s Christian heritage and free speech tradition is fading. Unfortunately, if action is not taken soon to reverse the carnage wrought by these elites this civilization will disappear from the face of the earth.
