Alas, my prolonged stays in Spain have taught me that the continent’s impressive outward appearances -- massive cathedrals, a strong euro, great cheese -- obscure a hollowness at its core. The truth is that Europe’s churches are largely empty; its welfare economies are unsustainable; and -- most troublingly -- its restive Muslim minorities seem unappeasable.
Very sobering; you should go read it.
