(End of the American Dream)—For centuries, Islam unsuccessfully attempted to conquer Europe by sending armies. In our time, Islam is attempting to conquer Europe in a completely different way, and it is working. In 2016, there were approximately 26 million Muslims living in Europe. Today, there are approximately 46 million Muslims living in Europe and that number is growing with each passing day. As the number of European Christians steadily declines, it appears that it is just a matter of time before Islam is the dominant religion in Europe. Needless to say, that will have enormous implications for everyone living on the continent.
The religious landscape of Europe is changing at a pace that is absolutely staggering.
For example, can you guess what the most popular name for boys is in England and Wales?
It’s not Charles. And it isn’t William.
For two years in a row, it has been Muhammad…
The most popular names for children born in England and Wales in 2024 have been released, with Athena and Yahya making it into the top 100 for the first time.
Muhammad tops the list of boys’ names for the second year running, with Noah and Oliver also making second and third place, respectively, as they were in 2023.
Olivia and Amelia held the top two spots for girls’ names for a third year in a row, while Isla dropped from third place after being replaced by Lily.
Yes, I know that this sounds unbelievable, but it is really happening.
Islam is on the ascendancy in the United Kingdom.
Of course Islam is also on the ascendancy in other European nations as well.
For example, Muhammad has become the most common name among welfare recipients in Germany…
New figures released by Germany’s federal government have reshaped the rankings of citizen’s allowance recipients in the country, placing Mohammed and its many spelling variants at the top of the list.
A recent government response to an Alternative for Germany (AfD) inquiry originally suggested that Michael, Andreas, Thomas, and Daniel were the most frequent first names among those receiving the allowance, known locally as Bürgergeld. However, the government’s list had separated different spellings of the same name, resulting in distortions.
AfD lawmaker René Springer requested additional data that consolidated all variations of the same name. The government’s updated response, obtained by Bild, shows that Mohammed — counted across 19 different spellings and variants such as Mohamed, Muhammad, and Mahamadou — now ranks first with 39,280 entries.
The fact that so many migrants have come pouring into Europe over the past decade has become one of the biggest political issues in virtually every EU nation.
We have seen seismic societal shifts take place, and this is especially true in some of the less heavily populated countries.
Just look at what has happened to Sweden. At one time Sweden was one of the safest places to live on the entire planet, but now violent crime is everywhere. The following is just one example…
A court in Sweden has sentenced four migrant males for a brutal humiliation robbery in Karlshamn in which a 15-year-old boy was forced to strip naked and dance inside the city mall before being robbed of his belongings.
The attack, which occurred in May 2023, was filmed by the men and later circulated by them to humiliate the victim further.
In the footage, as cited by the Samnytt news site, the boy was surrounded, beaten, and coerced into removing his clothes. He was then ordered to bend down and kiss the shoes of one of the men while they made sexual remarks about his mother.
From 2012 to 2023, the number of annual rapes in Sweden increased by 55 percent.
Just think about that for a moment.
If the number of annual rapes in your nation increases by 55 percent in a little over a decade, you have a major crisis on your hands.
One man from Afghanistan that was recently arrested for committing a rape openly admitted that he “just wanted to have sex”…
An Afghan migrant who told police he was “so horny” and “just wanted to have sex” has been charged with the aggravated rape of an 18-year-old woman delivering post in Västerås.
Mohsen Asghari, 26, who arrived in Sweden in 2012 as an unaccompanied minor and was granted Swedish citizenship in 2016, has confessed to the attack, which took place in broad daylight on July 4 this year.
According to court documents seen by the Samnytt news outlet, the victim — a summer worker for Postnord — was on her delivery round alone that morning, driving a small Postnord-marked moped. She was unaware that Asghari had been tailing her in a white van for several minutes prior to the attack.
Those that move to another country should be looking to adapt to the new culture that they are now living in.
But instead, many Islamic migrants wish to impose their own culture on those around them.
In fact, a recent poll found that 46 percent of foreign-born Muslims in France “want to adopt Sharia law into the country’s legal system”…
The next step with a growing population is gaining electoral influence, and pushing for laws supporting Islamic supremacy. An opinion poll of French Muslims indicated the strength of support for the adoption in France of Sharia law: “At least 46% of foreign-born Muslims in France want to adopt Sharia law into the country’s legal system, reveals a poll conducted by IFOP (French Institute for Public Opinions) for Le Point magazine.”
You may think that this is a pipe dream, but as the number of Muslims living in France grows, they are starting to gain real power. The following comes from an absolutely stunning Newsweek report…
Last month, a new government report caused a national firestorm when it concluded that the Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s most influential Islamist movement, is trying to penetrate the country and subvert its institutions. The 73-page study, excerpts from which were published in the prestigious Le Figaro, makes the case that the country’s branch of the Brotherhood, known as the Federation of Muslims of France (FMF), is “involved in republican infrastructure … in order to change it from the inside.”
The study details that the FMF now controls or influences nearly 10 percent of the mosques in the country, as well as running nearly 300 sports, educational, or charity organizations and close to two-dozen schools. Its objective is to establish “ecosystems at a local level” that gradually impose strict Islamic norms on society at-large.
The warning is a stark one. France has long prided itself on laïcité, a foundational principle of the country’s political order that provides freedom of, and from, religion for its citizens. The FMF’s efforts are a direct challenge to that norm. Or, as Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has put it, France is now facing “below-the-radar Islamism trying to infiltrate institutions, whose ultimate aim is to tip the whole of French society under sharia law.”
But even though everyone can see what is going on, nobody is supposed to talk about it.
Speaking up about Islamic migration is taboo in most Western European nations, and this is especially true among politicians.
When I read about the pact that politicians in Cologne, Germany recently made, I was absolutely shocked…
In Cologne’s upcoming local election campaign, all major parties except the Alternative for Germany (AfD) have pledged to speak only positively about immigration and avoid linking it to social problems.
The CDU, SPD, Greens, FDP, Left Party, Volt, and Die Partei signed a “fairness agreement” initiated by the “Cologne Round Table for Integration” association.
The pact commits the signatories not to blame migrants or refugees for unemployment, crime, or security concerns.
European politics is dominated by the left, and they want everyone to believe that everything is just fine.
But the trends that we are witnessing are undeniable.
The total number of Muslims living on this planet has reached 2 billion, and it is growing “twice as fast as the rest of the world’s population”…
The number of Muslims around the world grew 21% between 2010 and 2020, from 1.7 billion to 2.0 billion. Muslims grew twice as fast as the rest of the world’s population, which expanded by 10% during the same decade. As a result, Muslims grew as a share of the global population, from 24% to 26%.
How much power will Islam have once that figure reaches 30 percent or 40 percent?
That is something that we should all consider.
I believe that Islam will play a major role in world history during the extremely chaotic years that are ahead of us.
We are already seeing this in the drama that is currently unfolding in the Middle East, and we are already seeing this in the riots that periodically erupt in major European cities.
The decline of Christianity in Europe and elsewhere has left a vacuum, and that vacuum is being filled by Islam to a very large degree.
If you are not willing to speak up now, someday you may find yourself living in a society that very closely resembles Saudi Arabia.

Bypass Big Tech Censors
Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
