Islam Overtaking Europe?

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/20301/islam-overtaking-europe

The problem, like many problems, is not natural but rather government-made:

... In 2012, the ECHR introduced the "Hirsi ruling," ... that European states are legally obligated to rescue migrants in the Mediterranean Sea, even if they are just 200 meters from the Libyan coast, and transport them to a European port, allowing these individuals to claim refugee status. ... The Hirsi ruling became widely known, particularly in Africa, leading many to understand that if they could just reach the Mediterranean, European navies would now be obligated to transport them directly to Europe. ...

... Immigration is not a natural disaster that befalls Europe, like a plague of locusts or a drought. The migration chaos we are experiencing in Europe is purely a human catastrophe, caused by dreamy policies and faceless judges who are accountable to no one.

And, barring divine intervention (always a possibility) that problem is going to get worse:

... many Muslims in Europe feel an intensity about Islam that we do not feel about our Judeo-Christian tradition. ... Many Muslims also seem have the conviction, that the world should bend to Islam, not the other way around.

Given the demographics (younger population and higher birthrates), even a moratorium on these migrants implemented now (as the article recommends) would not be enough. And although the author says Islamization of Europe is not a given, he does not give any path forward.

IMHO, a re-invigorating of Christianity, complete with continuous prayers and penance for the conversion of Muslims, would be a good place to start.

That will have to be a lay-led movement, because the clergy seem to be all corrupted...
