Check out these important reads about Europe and the state of the West, all from within the last few days. Three brief perspectives, alternately inspirational and alarming, from three champions of our rights and freedoms:
Geert Wilders, "

The lights are going out all over Europe. All over the continent where our culture flourished and where man created freedom, prosperity and civilization. Everywhere the foundation of the West is under attack.
Daniel Pipes, "
My Optimism About Europe":
That, over time, individuals and organizations are finding their voice and are learning strategy and tactics to fend off Islamism gives Europe civilizational hope.
Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff: "
Reclaiming Our Rights":
All of our great institutions, including democracy and the rule of law, are made possible by the fundamental human rights that we all used to take for granted. These rights are now being deliberately destroyed.
