Czech Cardinal Miloslav Vlk warns: Muslims are conquering Europe

Prague, Jan 5 (CTK) - The European Union has diverted from the Christian foundations on which it was being built and it has got secularised, by which it has opened space to Islamisation, Czech Cardinal Miloslav Vlk says in an interview released on his web page yesterday.

In the interview Vlk, 77, overviews the almost 19 years he has been Prague Archbishop. Pope Benedict XVI is expected to announce his successor on the days ahead.

Vlk says Islam creates pressure on Christians to live their faith to the full.

"yesterday our continent does not have firm spiritual and moral foundations," Vlk writes.

He says this is not the fault of the European Union, but of Europeans themselves.

"I cannot but confirm that Europe will pay dear for having left its spiritual foundations and that this is the last period that will not continue for decades when it may still have a chance to do something about it," Vlk says.

He says the Muslims are perfectly equipped with "spiritual" weapons that Europe does not have.

"The Muslims definitely have many reasons to be heading here. They also have a religious one - to bring the spiritual values of faith in God to the pagan environment of Europe, to its atheistic style of life," Vlk writes.

The individualistic life style of Europeans who are neither able nor willing to make sacrifices is to a great extent responsible for Islam gaining force in Europe, Vlk writes.

"Unless the Christians 'wake up,' life may be Islamised and Christianity will not have the strength to imprint its character on the life of people, not to say society," Vlk says.

He says Czechs can help reinforce Christianity also due to their historical experience with the transition from Communist totality to freedom.

"Neither the free market nor freedom without responsibility are strong enough to form the basis of society. Not even democracy alone is a panacea unless it is embedded in God," Vlk says.

He says people cannot live for ever without fundamental spiritual values.
