On May 7, 1945 German General Alfred Jodl signed an unconditional surrender document in Reims, France. That decision ended a war that had begun in 1939 and inflicted tens of millions of casualties, both soldiers and civilians, after the rise of Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers’ Party in the 1930s.
When news of the war ended, thousands took to the streets to celebrate what has come to be known as “Victory in Europe Day,” or VE Day.
Bob Maginnis, a military analyst and retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, tells AFN he is concerned Europe is creeping backwards toward the years leading up to World War II. Instead of a Hitler and a Nazi Party, he says, Europe seems to be surrendering its power and its culture to fanatical Muslim immigrants.
"They're not just against the Jews. They're against the Christians. Anybody that's an infidel," he says. "If you understand Islam, that's anybody that's outside of allegiance to Allah.”
Going back two decades, the steady growth of Muslim immigrants, and their large growing families, have changed Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, and other nations year by year on a continent famous for a dwindling white population.
In Belgium, which was occupied by Germany through most of World War 2, the U.S. State Department flagged the country in a 2023 report for repeated incidents of harassment and physical attacks on Jews who live there. The Muslim population in Brussels, the capital city, is estimated to be 24% of its population.
This week in London, thousands of Brits commemorated 80 years since Hitler’s plans to rule Europe ended after approximately 383,000 UK military personnel were killed to stop him.
Hitler’s bombers, and later his V-1 rockets. killed an estimated 20,000 Londoners before the war ended.
Great Britain, however, is also famous – or infamous – for the Rotherham scandal that involved Pakistani men raping more than 1,000 girls, some as young as 11. That sexual abuse went on and on, for about 15 years in all, because British police and social workers feared backlash for arresting and prosecuting the Muslim perpetrators.
Citing the “no-go zones” dominated by Muslim populations, Maginnis says Europeans don’t know what to do with a growing Muslim population that has no respect for Europe and its language and culture.
“And they're just there to metastasize,” he says, “and they're doing precisely that."
