The Coptic Christian Bishop Damian of the Höxter-Brenkenhausen Diocese in Germany has given the West a stark warning. But he is unlikely to be heard, as his words cut sharply against the prevailing wisdom in Germany and all over Europe. Western Europeans appear to have decided to commit civilizational suicide. Who is Bishop Damian to stand in their way?
In a video posted on X Tuesday, Bishop Damian says: “I can assure you that if you shy away from it and do nothing, then what has happened to us in Egypt will happen in your homeland, too, and if you learn nothing from history, you’re up next. Take it seriously.” What is “it” that happened to the Copts in Egypt and now threatens Germany and the West? Conquest and Islamization. Aware of how his warning was certain to be characterized in the establishment media, if they took any note of it at all, Bishop Damian continued: “I am not a hate preacher, I have many friends among the Muslims. I am not trying to spread fear. We should not be afraid.” Indeed. We should be resolute in the face of evil, and aware of what confronts us.

That was why Bishop Damian went on to exhort Germans, and all Westerners, to be aware of the history of jihad:
But we must learn from our past. We were once the rulers of our fatherland, our country [Egypt]. Today, we are struggling just to get by, struggling to survive. Pay attention to their growth curve. That curve alone is indicating that if we don’t act, we will be a minority in our own country. And we know how Islam behaves when it is in power and majority, compared to how it behaves when in the minority. I am warning you. Take the situation seriously. My story is your story. My Christian past is your roots. Learn from our past, learn from our situation today. Look towards the future, a future which begins today. That is why I raise my voice, to say that we should not look the other way. We must act together, and secure a safe country for our children. We have to do this for our children, so that they won’t be treated as second- or third-class citizens and regarded as inferior human beings in their own homeland.
One thing is certain: Bishop Damian’s warning will not be heeded. But he is one hundred percent correct. When Arabs conquered Egypt in the late 630s, it was nearly entirely Christian. Today it is around ten percent Christian. The Christians of the country, however, did not emigrate; they’re still there. The Muslim population of Egypt is almost entirely comprised of the descendants of people who converted from Christianity to Islam.
Did they convert because they were convinced of the truth of Islam? Were they convinced by Islam’s “wisdom and beautiful preaching” (Qur’an 16:125)? Maybe a few here and there, but for the most part, the Christians of Egypt converted to Islam over the centuries because the Islamic authorities made life so difficult for Christians, all while holding out the prospect of conversion to Islam as relief from all manner of institutionalized and state-sanctioned discrimination and harassment. That’s what Bishop Damian is referring to when he says: “We have to do this for our children, so that they won’t be treated as second- or third-class citizens and regarded as inferior human beings in their own homeland.” The Christians of Egypt have been treated as second- or third-class citizens and regarded as inferior human beings in their own homeland since the seventh century, and that’s the primary reason why there are so few of them left.
As this treatment is sanctioned, and indeed called for, in Islamic law, it has occurred not just in Egypt, but all over the Islamic world. The once-thriving Christian communities of the rest of North Africa were entirely eradicated. So were the Zoroastrians of Iran, and so very many others. The tiny communities of Christians and other religious minorities in the Islamic world are the living remnants of communities that have been persecuted and harassed for centuries, targeted so that Islam will ultimately replace them entirely and religion will be “all for Allah” (Qur’an 8:39).
If Bishop Damian had not been an Egyptian, but an American non-Muslim, and said the same things that he said, he would have been excoriated as a “racist” and an “Islamophobe.” He may be in for that treatment anyway. In Germany and all over the West today, the political and media elites are not interested either in hearing the truth or in allowing it to be told. And so the good Coptic bishop will be proven correct.
will the west take notice ? that would be a NO ! has the bishop a target on his back ? that would be a YES !
Seems like the good guys are always playing catch-up.
He sought safety in the west, no doubt believing that he’d be surrounded by Christians. That’s tragic. He probably didn’t read up on Angela Merkel and her demonically possessed father, Horst Kasner, the Christian apostate, ordained minister of the German Evangelical Church.
Sometime in the early 1950’s, Kasner accepted an assignment in East Germany and moved his family, including his infant daughter, Angela, to east Berlin. He joined the East German communist party, and by radio, broadcast his apostate “sermons” to the west until the Wall fell in 1989. He was also the original multiculturalist. After Reunification, he wanted to flood Germany with as many non-Christians as possible.
Kasner vehemently opposed Reunification, and he urged Germany to adopt a no-borders policy even to the point that ethnic Germans would become a minority in Germany. To his dying breath (2003?), he insisted that the East German government was the true and only legitimate government of Germany.
In 2005, Angela Merkel said that multiculturalism had failed in Europe and Germany. And yet, ten years later, she opened Germany’s borders to millions of “refugees,” largely from Syria or the middle east. Her father would be so proud.
We need to listen to and heed these warnings and Close Our Border Period everyone who saw Lost in Space remembers the Robot and Star Trek GQ03 Intruder Alert we have way too many Aliens Approaching and Too Many Intruders
I’m fairly sure that had he been in Britain he would have been arrested.
You are probably correct Mo and that is a shame. What has and is happening in the UK is a warning to us here in the States, but it keeps getting squashed by our “so called leaders”.
and media. The media’s insidious part in this is significant and probably would be feasible without the media’s (useful idiot) effort.
It’s more than a warning. It’s a 5-alarm fire-bell in the night, and not just in Britain but all-over western Europe.
Thank you for that important column.
I did research after 9/11….
still people aren’t interested.
This always been the goal every time they migrate.
Hijra > jihad > sharia. 1400 + years, same winning plan.
many say I am a moderate Muslim no such animal they either follow the Koran and the hadith and the other ramblings of maniacs that preach death, mutilation or suffer the consequences of that Ideologey it is all or nothing with the Ideology ,or as alleged non believer of the ideology pay a tax and we may just let you survive in a fashion HA HA for how long?? .
WAKE it is late now possibly too late with assistance of Governments with no spines nor gonads to say NO you will not enter our country ,they welc0me them at the suffering of those that h ave lived there for Centuries, hanging is too good and as for those that welcome them house that influx in their homes and make them keep them hand and foot with out aid from Governments or churches, again have fallen for this ruse. then see how long they remain bleeding hearts 2 weeks at the most\WE have them as well in Australia arrive by the plane load daily to the land of hand outs paid by we tax payers
No faithful follower of Mohammed can be loyal to any government or any faith but Islam. No dweller of a land ruled by muslims can practice any faith but Islam. No faithful muslim in a land not yet conquered by Islam will practice anything but deception, proselytizing, and influence-seeking. “Peaceful” muslims are either weak in their practice or liars.
