When Danish commentator Rasmus Paludan warned that “rivers of blood will flow in Europe,” he was dismissed by many as an alarmist. Yet his warning reflects a reality that Europe and the wider West have long refused to confront — the price of appeasing radical Islam.
While Israel has chosen to fight terrorism head-on, Western nations have spent years pretending that coexistence with radical ideologies is possible. They opened their borders, tolerated extremist preaching in mosques, and silenced critics under the guise of political correctness.
Now, that appeasement may be coming home to roost.
Intelligence agencies across Europe have quietly raised their alert levels. France, Germany, and the UK have already faced lone-wolf attacks inspired by jihadist movements. With the growing influence of Hamas and other extremist narratives among Muslim youth in Europe, the threat of coordinated terror is no longer theoretical — it’s imminent.
