"By means of your democracy we shall invade you, by means of our religion we shall conquer you. Victory will come to us from the wombs of our women." The post Brexit Europe should aim to stop the creeping incursion of illiberal and authoritarian ideologies disguised as "religions" or "cultures" into the continent's liberal and democratic way of life. In most European nations, our adherence to liberal values has resulted in the growth of illiberal values. To put it differently our liberal societies began to tolerate the intolerant. If this trend is not stopped, its long term consequences will be catastrophic for the face of Europe as we and our ancestors have known it. Europe's tolerance and support of the wrongly called ideal of multi-culturalism has resulted in the growth of a continent of multi-faithism. The revival of a religious narrative as an inevitable backlash to the growth of alien religiosity amidst secular Europe is a disturbing phenomenon. It took Europe five hundred years of evolution to reach this stage of separation of state and religion. Michael Nimier
