Louvre Heist Reflects Western Culture's Lack of Self-Defense
The recent Louvre museum heist in Paris highlights a broader societal issue. As a Newsweek senior editor-at-large and host of "The Josh Hammer Show", I observe this from Central Europe.
The region's idyllic scenery and crisp fall air are overshadowed by concerns about Europe's future. Fertility rates have declined, and Christianity, which defined the civilization for two millennia, is now seen as a relic of the past.
Will there even be a Europe, in any cognizable sense of the term, a century from now?
This question haunts the continent, as conversations about its future are increasingly underscored by uncertainty.
Author's summary: The Louvre heist symbolizes Western culture's inability to defend itself.
